To let it all flow through me - the mind and spirit goes and the tool walks alone, I become the simple vehicle within which the creative source conveys its sacred, inner being. To be in the constant flow and rhythm of the dance is my true ambition and desire. The artist is the instrument for release. The mind moves and the tool walks on its own. Become one with the tool, one with the medium, blend, move together, feel the music and feel life. I remain open for all possibilities to become present in my life and work. In doing so, I keep the dream alive, allowing for the mystery to unfold, creating mystology and striving for excellence. Studio open by appointment only. www.leoosborne.com • email Leo Osborne |

I have lived on Fidalgo Island half my life, and have been visiting friends and family on Guemes so often that I feel equally at home on both islands. I recently moved my stone carving studio onto the Madrona Art Center property, just up the hill north of Anderson’s Store. This is where I built my second stone circle, which we dedicated on the summer solstice, 2006. This circle is open to everybody who would like to worship, or celebrate, or meditate, in a sacred space. It has been blessed by Samish feet, and filled by their songs, and endorsed by a local druid. It is dedicated to the spirits of threatened and endangered plants and animals. I am honored to be able to work on Guemes Island, and collaborate with the other artists at Madrona. I continue to carve in wood and stone, and invite you to visit my website to see some of my work, including the Maiden of Deception Pass, Jasper Gates Memorial in Mt Vernon, The Dove Project, and stump carvings on Guemes. Feel free to drop by my worksite out by the Madrona barn. Its usually best to call to make sure I am there. My cell phone is 360-840-3826.

Bob Anderson/Earthspirit Studio My interest in art was triggered, I think, by youthful trips to see the dioramas at the New York Museum of Natural History. A high school art teacher lovingly let me do what I wanted and I was allowed in the art room anytime my other work was finished. In college my painting professor wisely looked at my work and said, "Don't quit your day job.' But a sculpting professor's work entranced me and I and friends introduced a sculpture class with him into the Wesleyan curriculum. I was hooked on 3-D., and work with form, space and texture. earthspiritcircle@earthlink.net • 293-3770 |

Working with inspiration and matierials provided by nature, Russell Moline designs and crafts furniture of such exquisite form that one can only think of each piece as a work of sculpture. From his home on Guemes Island Russell runs a commission-based furniture business. " I prefer to find an owner for each piece before construction starts," Moline says, "This allows me to better understand the task at hand." Additional works can
be seen by appointment (360-588-9002), or on the web site below. www.RoundRiverstudio.com • email Russell Moline |

Marilee Fosbre/Frog Pond Studio Recently, I decided to answer a call that first came to me when I moved to Guemes Island but that has been put on hold for the last three years. This call is to use art as a means of reflection and personal exploration and to invite others to join me in this quest. The answer to this call has been born as Moving Toward Meaning, a collection of new workshops inviting self-exploration through art and writing. [More] Studio open by appointment only. 7264 West Shore Drive • 360.293.3095 www.FrogPondPaperArts.com • email Frog Pond Studio |

Working at fibre collage is an everyday challenge. It is my perfect pleasure to capture in patchwork techniques the incredible colors of currently available commercial or hand-dyed fabrics and transform them into pieces that express a vision. Beginning each new work unleashes adventures in technique, along with a hope the vision can be shared. Studio open by appointment only. 7728 Cypress Way •

Born on Fidalgo Island,
I moved to Guemes 23 years ago, and I have traveled widely, however, squiring students around Europe and Asia for the government sponsored Student Ambassador Program. My new husband and I are currently researching ancestors in Norway and Italy. Recently spending winters in Puerto Rico, I am discovering a whole new perspective on island living. 5869 Section Avenue
