The moon is our friend as we journey through the month. It hides behind trees, peaks through clouds, makes water sparkle and sometime visits its neighbor Venus on cold winter nights.

From the artist:

I'm an artist based on Bainbridge Island and work in several mediums. All of my work is inspired by nature—from oil painting to jewelry making to woodworking.

Working with metal is another expression of curiosity and artistic expression. I look for patterns in nature and try to imagine how I can recreate my sense of awe and express my obsession with patterns.
