Quirky and colorful. Whimsical and wild. These are words that people have used to describe my canine critters. I specialize in sighthounds, and have been adding other breeds as I am inspired. I have original paintings, limited edition prints, notecards, bags, and t-shirts. I'm currently experimenting with making paper jewelry out of my images, and am adding borders made from heavily edited photographs of the region.

I'm currently camped in Washington state, and have a number of shows lined up for the area.

Saturday, August 25 - Roofest. A GPA event in Renton, WA

August 24-26 - Specialties and dog shows in Redmond, WA (will have to miss part of saturday OR get someone to help me with my booth while I do Roofest)

September 15-16 - Specialties and all-breed dog shows in Wenatchee, WA

October 5-7 - Hound specialty and all-breed dog shows in Ridgefield, WA

Note. I'm currently signed up to do Dewey Beach, but the odds are nearly zero that I can get out there in time this year. unsure.gif

Here are a few recent images that I'm bringing to this month's shows.

Now that I'm preparing for Dewey, instead of regular dog shows, I'm creating a lot of new greyhound images. This new, ultra-curvy style is really tickling my fancy lately. As a change from my usual purples and blues, I've just finished up this soft peachy image. I'll probably put it on peach colored shirts. The corner flowers are from photographs I made of Arizona desert wildflowers, and the leaves are from a tree in Washington state.

Hi Greyhoundmama, is that you bidding on the Sand Palace room? They should be putting one more 3rd floor room up for auction. I did a buy it now on a 2nd floor so taking 5 dogs up and down would be a little easier. We were originally on the 3rd. If that's you, good luck and I hope you get it, I can't wait to see your work.

Thanks Jimmy, and yes, that's me. I already have a room at the Best Western from which to sell, but I want a second room for my mom and I to sleep in, OR to have a second store location. Also, I'd like to be in Sand Palace next year!!! Cool about the other 3rd floor room going up for auction. I'll keep my eyes on it.

I had originally planned to drive out east, towing my trailer, and camp at the RV park. But I've decided to winter out west, and I simply can't afford all that gas and time. So I'm flying out, which leaves me without someplace to sleep, unless we cram into the "store" in our best western room! laugh.gif

If I get the second room, and we have space and enough help, I MIGHT have some things for sale in both rooms. But that's still up in the air. My "regular" store will be in the third floor of Best Western.

That'll be great! We won the auction for the 3rd floor last year, but couldn't go. But they worked with me so that I could use the reservation for this year. They've been really nice to deal with. But with 5 dogs, I thought it would be a little easier to have a room on the second floor. I haven't seen my old 3rd floor room go up for auction yet though. They told me it would.

I really do hope you get it, I know it would be easier for you with all your stuff.

We'll be looking forward to meeting you, and seeing all your artwork!

Awesome! And please let me snuggle on some of your dogs, since mine will be back in Washington with a friend. I'm going to miss them so much ... I don't know how I'll go a week without my Gryffin and iggies!!!

Karen, you can come hug all the hounds you want. They all told me they'll take you up on your offer. LOL laugh.gif laugh.gif

Hi Karen, congratulations on the auction!!!!! When the send you the conformation letter, it doesn't say what room number, so I don't know what room we're in yet. But you'll have to come down, and we'll be up so you can do some lovin' on our pups!

Wish we could meet yours, but I know when you're vending, it's just to hard trying to take care of them to.

See you soon. We're coming in on the 2nd.

I know this is an old thread but I just had to say we enjoyed our few minutes with you while at Dewey. We were so glad that you got to see our puppers and we managed to sneak into the parking lot with our 6 six pack in the cargo van

I did promise a suprise to EGers and glad I got to give you yours. A friend is looking for a zip up greyhound sweat shirt do you make them?
