Where Sky Meets Earth: The Luminous Landscapes of Victoria Adams

Victoria Adams is an American contemporary landscape painter working in oil and wax on linen.

She finds inspiration for her primary subject matter—the sky, the land, and deep atmospheric space—in the weather and views of the Pacific Northwest, where she lives and works on Vashon Island.

author of: Liar, Liar, A new mystery LIAR, LIAR is the first book in a riveting, new series introducing P.I. Cat DeLuca and her Pants On Fire Detective Agency. Cat isn't your typical private dick (or jane) and she won't find your long lost Uncle Harry for you. She's the one to call if you find lipstick on your husband's shorts. Cat DeLuca catches cheaters. No one nails an 8X10 glossy better.

Join us for a puppetry adventure featuring the great white whale Moby Dick, Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid and a host of piratical puppet players from Robert L. Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND. This seafaring adventure features a variety of puppetry styles including hand puppets, toy theater figures, jumping jacks and mouth puppets.
