I love working on commissions. I recently completed a group of watercolor paintings for the Director of the UW School of Oceanography. The paintings are destined to be retirement gifts for oceanography professors. Professors who I worked for, or who I studied with when I was an oceanography student.  I love that I can make something to show appreciation for their contributions to humanity’s understanding of the ocean. And, it’s fun for me to experiment with new ocean science subjects.
