The two well-known Anacortes artists were featured in a recent Seattle Times story that’s a good read.
Writer Valerie Easton describes them as “buoyant, confident colorists. Their delight in lively, contrasting hues fills their studios and spills out the door to engage their Anacortes neighborhood.”

However, steps will be taken to have the county commissioners turn a few of them loose on Cypress island.
