Bainbridge Island Winter Studio Tour Dec. 6-8, 2019
It’s the start of the busy, busy season. Lots of fun, socializing, eating, and squeezing in work when you can. I’m happily prepping for the Bainbridge Island Studio Tour, happening the first weekend in December. I’m framing up my limited edition abstract paintings and Shapemaking prints. If you’re in the area, consider getting out of the house and taking the tour. It’s a fun way to explore Bainbridge Island and get in the holiday spirit. There are 56 Artists at 8 venues.

We were happy to see so many folks make the trek to Indianola and up Fern Street during the Art in the Woods Studio Tour Nov. 8-10. After living in here for over 11 years, we’re accustomed to the long dirt road drive, but it’s an adventure for many. Yes, Fernwoods Studios is “Art in the Woods”, literally!

Thanks to all who came by, including former West Seattle neighbors, dear friends and family, and a favorite high school teacher I hadn’t seen since that time! It was a pleasure for us to see you all and to meet the many folks who regularly do the tour. Once the memory of all the heavy lifting fades, we’ll very likely decide to do it again next year. It was a good time.
Art in the Woods – our first open studio at Fernwoods & you’re invited
What the heck is Fernwoods? That’s what we call our place in Indianola, Washington where my husband, Tim Celeski, and I live and work. It’s tucked up in the woods, and yes, it has a lot of ferns!
Tim and I will be showing our art together as part of the North Kitsap peninsula Art in the Woods Studio Tour. It’s a self-guided tour of 21 Artists’ studios, with over 60 participating local artists.
