This year I've been invited to participate in the 17th Annual Sitka Art Invitational. This event brings together more than 600 pieces of art from 128 artists. Sales from event support the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. This amazing organization is dedicated to expanding the relationships between art, nature and humanity and is renowned for its workshop and residency programs. Sitka, located on Cascade Head, offers a place where artists come to inspire, create and ultimately transform themselves. The Sitka Center is celebrating its 40th year.
