Corrie Loomis Dietz has worked hard at her job as a rep for Golden Acrylic Paint, and at her studio practice.

Thank goodness for quilts (this one made by my friend Sharon) and books… …and if you haven’t read Colin Meloy’s YA adventure “Wildwood,” consider it…the main locale is Portland and it is a VERY fun read…here are the maps […]
