We bought a house in Edmonds in 2012. We have been working and living in China since 2009 and chose to buy a house in Edmonds because we wanted to live in a beautiful place with a strong community. Now that we will no longer be working in China, our attention is towards discovering and enjoying Edmonds. Over the years, I have always chosen to volunteer some time in any community where we were resident. Partly out of a sense of duty and partly because I am always concerned about the physical environment, I am submitting my application to be on your design board so that I might be able to contribute to making Edmonds the most attractive city that it can be. Edmonds has the most beautiful natura I setting, and I believe that it is most important to be sensitive to that existing environment in the design of alteration of any new or existing structures, I am simultaneously applying for the available position on the Planning Board because I am equally interested in planning issues and if you felt that I could make any contributions at all, I would be open to being on either board.

I can provide the group with enthusiasm and knowledge to carry forward with the coming years and projects. My characteristics include being a hard worker, and you can count on me to follow through on commitments to completion. The arts are a passion for me. l am a retired Librarian from Sno-Isle Libraries, and managed the Edmonds Library the last 9 years of my working life. Edmonds has been my home since 1975. I raised a family here, and have made so many connections over the years from family, friends, work, community involvement and involvement in the arts. As a librarian I worked with many groups, including the Art Commission, to further arts and performance opportunities in the Library and beyond. I partnered with Opera Previews, provided added music performances with many groups including the Early Music Guild, plus scheduling music for events such as Open House at the Library. It was a natural to work with local writers to offer space and support for writing activities at the Library. My undergraduate degree was in liberal arts, with a major in music theory and composition. For many years I played the French Horn in local area music groups. I later discovered the lever harp, and sold my horn to buy my own instrument more than 15 years ago. I have shared music in our own community including playing for some events at our Senior Center. I am a participant in two different harp circles, in addition to joining in harp retreats twice a year. I enjoy working in watercolor, particularly since my retirement last December. I take classes, and am a regular participant at Art Works on Wednesday mornings with a watercolor group. Recently I joined Seattle Co -Arts to network with other area artists. I am a big reader, and have had experience hosting author events at the Library in addition to partnering for a Writers' Walk event in 2014. I attend book events, author events, and look forward to all things literary. I would like to give some time to our local Arts Commission to support and provid e assistance to the Arts in Edmonds as an Art Commissioner.
