First Street Planter Art

In the fall of 2023, the City installed five temporary planters along First Street. A sixth will be added should the street tree at the corner of First Street and Avenue C be removed. The planters will be in place until new street trees (identified by the upcoming First Street Master Plan) have been planted.

To beautify these installations, the City is engaging with local artists to paint exterior artwork on the planters. The theme of this project is "bringing the Snohomish community together." 

Artists were selected in March and will begin painting in April and May. Check back for more information on this project!

With a thriving studio nestled within Pike Place Market for the past 13 years, I've immersed myself in the vibrant art scene, channeling my passion into abstract pieces, floral compositions, and captivating murals. Beyond the confines of my studio, I've embraced community engagement, infusing public spaces with my colorful creations. Specializing in custom artwork tailored for homes and businesses, my playful and lively style aims to evoke joy and delight in the hearts of all who encounter my work.

I am passionate about inspiring others to create and appreciate art.  I have been painting murals for thirty years, and my style, like my life, is eclectic and colorful, often expressing my sense of humor and appreciation for all that surrounds me.  

After completing my BFA in Minnesota, I headed straight to Alaska, where I met my husband, a commercial fisherman.  We eventually settled with our four children in Snohomish, an area we love for its beautiful farmland, gorgeous old buildings, and small-town sense of community.
