Artist’ statement: As a resident of Edmonds I am passionate about the beauty and history of the area. I was conscious of the great opportunity presented by this site, its visibility from Rt 104, nearby residences and the cemetery. I wanted to create something that is not only visually appealing but educational and intriguing, a pleasing visual respite from the morning commute and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The Echo Lake Neighborhood Association mural project combined all of the elements I love about mural painting: history, the environment and landscape. This was a wonderful project to be a part of and I’m honored to have been given the opportunity.
