What have you been doing the last 10 years?

I'm a full time studio artist in wood. Predominantly lathe-based, my work imcludes sculptures, plates, platters, boxes, vases. I'm currently doing collaborations with a dozen other artists. The unifying factor is that they do their work on my wood. We have painters, ceramists, raku clay, a glass artist, a fabric person, a metals guy, and a mixed media maven each working in conjunction with me. It all comes together in a travelling show i've presented at galleries for WSU, Wenatchee, Ellensburg, Yakima, and tri-cities.
How do you spend your time now?

I'm in the studio by 8AM and usually work until 1-2AM. I thought when i retired that i would watch the mariners and learn the nes of 5 players and the manager. It didn't happen. I was made to work and I do what I like.
I have a massive garden and work in the master gardener program in Yakima and I live in a great old place that used to be a TB san.

Happy Birthday, Joyce. And many more. I’m sitting in my upstairs studio watching epoxy cure, so, it’s great to message you on a hot afternoon in Yakima. The great track event must be over by now and it may not be as exciting in Eugene. I hope that isn’t so. Attached is a little photo to excite your competitive juices. jbar

Happy Birthday and many more. Wilson grade school looks a lot the same as it did in 1954. I can’t remember where you sat in 4th grade. Remember Mrs. Evans?
