In a place like Carkeek Park, change can be as quick as a bird’s wing or the waves tumbling the stones. Spend the day to notice the shadows move across the landscape and the sky put on a show. To stand in one spot and think about change is what this piece is about. To know that it was once covered with thick glacial ice that slowly receded. Only 150 years ago it was a virgin forest with huge cedar trees. The remains of these giants can still be seen from the trails. The logging camp became a family home for the Piper family. For just over 80 years it has been park with changes instituted by man and nature. Notice the change. If only during your visit today watch how small things change. Come back to see the landscape after the maples drop their leaves. See the salmon return to the place they know even though it has changed. As a Washington native, I am constantly inspired by the landscape. It surrounds me in the close up and in the distant views. Summer finds me at the parks and beaches in the Seattle area. Working in a variety of media. I have lived in the Broadview neighborhood for almost 20 years and regard Carkeek as “my “park. I started college right out of high school then took a 30 break. While looking up something for my son on the UW website, I saw art department and clicked on it. I graduated last spring with a bachelor of art and a minor in art history. While at the University of Washington, I focused on printmaking. Plein air etchings became my favorite way of working. I now have a printmaking/painting studio at my home.
