For my regular website, I just shared some personal reflections on 2016. For this one, I’d just like to offer my thanks to my followers, customers and sunset appreciators. It was a great year of growth and experimentation and I’m glad for the opportunities I made and found.

1. Multiple displays and shows in downtown Everett at Petite Sweet Bakery (twice!), The Valley Organic Deli, GroWashington, and Basecamp, as well as Nomad Northwest in Shoreline.
2. The creation and growth of North Sound Artist Collective through my partnership with Beth Francois of Coyote Moon Arts. What a treat to work with her and we’re already talking about our plans for 2017.
3. Sales, real sales of my sunsets that now hang on walls around the Pacific NW. I love that!
4. So many new friends in art around Snohomish County. It’s been nice to see fruition from my efforts to reach out and meet new people. I hope to make many more connections in 2017.
5. Being able to speak again to the UW Photography Certificate class in December taught by Ray Pfortner. He’s a gracious host and I love to share what I’ve learned since completing that program back in 2007.
6. You, the reader. Thanks for following and appreciating sunsets as I do. I hope to share more in the new year. Each one is unique and I’m grateful for every one of them I get to see and share.

Happy New Year! Let’s all make it a good one.
