I admit it, I like my small town.  Washougal, Washington has views of the Columbia River, the Gorge, and Mount Hood — all spectacular works of natural art.  But I also  Washougal’s other art.

I can’t believe it’s May already…where has the time gone?  Well, I know of a few places. March and April have been busy … I’ve been making art and picking up metal!  And in May and June, my art is on display in both Vancouver, Washington and Beaverton, Oregon.

I have to admit, the first time someone referred to a piece of my artwork as a ‘Ridgway’, it made me laugh. I had just finished installing the custom piece in the photo with the new owners, who already had several pieces of my work.  The wife was so excited she said “Now we have a ‘Ridgway’ in the living room, a ‘Ridgway’ in the family room, and a ‘Ridgway’ in the dining room!”   I realized it was a wonderful compliment of my art and how much she enjoyed having it in her home… and it made me smile.
