When we draw details, we get to know our subjects intimately.

W15 12 1 RO CELEBRATION ROOM 004The simple act of pen to paper allows me to cement
an event forever in my mind and heart.

I remember standing with Mitchell listening to the guitarist,
everyone’s faces, the lovely conversations at the table and after,
a new friendship made, a loyal superintendent,
many patrons of our business dressed up for
a night on the town, and the gift given!  Thank You!

W15 12 1 RO CELEBRATION ROOM 025I understand the decorative details of the ballroom design
(my architectural background helps here).
I studied the stunning mandala on the hand-painted jacket
from the Pacific Northwest College of Art,
and listened to the stories,
so many great speakers and stories
of buildings lost and buildings saved,
especially Max Williams’ story of watching
a building come down in his home town as a boy. 

W15 12 1 RO CELEBRATION ROOM 035With the promise of more buildings to be saved, I watched
many people pledge their faith and dollars in our built history.
