Kimple SJI Painted Map 1933 Reproduction from Peter Fisher.
"From about age three, (circa 1960) growing up in Arkansas, I remember knowing two things: I wanted to be an artist and I wanted to share my joy of playing in nature by making art. The Orcas I visited many summers as a kid included stays at North Beach Inn, running around Madrona Point, and visiting my grandparents, who moved to Grindstone Harbor in 1964.

Giclee print - 2 of 30, limited edition, archival quality by Kate Geddes. Geddes works in the realm of mythology. Her larger-than-life paintings include representations of Monkeys (mind), Martyrs (spirit), and Mummies (body).

"My paintings are a visceral expression of my inner life, my obsessions and my demons. Painting for me is an exorcism."

A trio of bracelets - two freshwater pearl and one gemstone - from Carol Anderson.

"A native Northwesterner, I was raised in Portland, Oregon, spent a decade on the Oregon coast and have enjoyed island life in Staten Island, New York and the Florida Keys before finding my home on Orcas in 1989. I studied commercial art in my youth but never discovered my muse until moving here. I believe the Balinese quote, 'In Bali, we have no word for art. We simply do everything as beautifully as we can.' I find Orcas Island to be a constant source of inspiration for my many projects, and try to let the world that surrounds me be reflected in my work. My intent is to delight myself and others with what I do. Color, scent and texture are my mediums. My work reflects my passion for color and light."
