We have recently been blessed with a wonderful surprise visit by our son, Jed and his wife, Renae and their 2 month old daughter, Willow. I have personally never been so surprised (because they now live in Indianapolis, Indiana.) It is a long story how they detoured to the West Coast on their way back from Christmas in Edmonton where Renae's parents and sister live. I was praying for their safe arrival back to Indianapolis over the long winter roads and came home that same night to find them in our living room ! ! ! Oh, sweet joy ! ! ! The painting I have done of Willow and Renae was from a hospital photo Jed took of them. It was as close as I could come without being there in person. Our family is most blessed and happy to welcome Willow ! |

4/29/11 | Our home/studio which houses the Dorsey family of artists will be open to the public during the Camano Island Mother's Day Tour. We are not officially on the "tour" this year, but we are officially open. Our hours will be:
May 6, 7, 8, 14, 15 from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M. As always, we are open year around by appointment.
It brings me great happiness to report that I will have available for sale my grandmother's (Fanny Y. Cory's) Fairy Alphabet book. It has been reprinted and sells for $14.95 (plus tax = $16.24).
This is a rather exciting art year for our family. My husband, Jack Dorsey, recently found out he had been awarded a $1,500.00 first prize for his watercolor, "Back Porch Geraniums", the the Artists Association of Northern Colorado 20th Nation Art Exhibition and Sale. The juror, Don Sahli, selected 88 pieces of art from 560 entries.
You are invited to see more of our families work during this time we are open the first two week-ends in May. Our address is 2772 South East Camano Drive, Camano Island, WA 98282. We plan to have ice water, coffee and cookies on hand for all visitors.

8/17/10 | | It is with great pleasure that I tell about a second art exhibit of "Jed Dorsey and his mom, Ann Cory" !!! We are at the Stanwood "Islanders" and the show will be up during August and September 2010.
This restaurant is located in the same building as the Stanwood Movie Pavilion (in the Haggens grocery area). The spacious restaurant walls provide a wonderful backdrop for Jed's 5 paintings and my 11.
All but two of the paintings are original acrylics. Except for a couple, these are a different mix of paintings than our April showing in the Camano Islander Restaurant.
The exact address is of the new Stanwood islanders Restaurant is: 6996 265th St. NW, Stanwood. The Islander Restaurant and Bar opens for business at 11 A.M. and stays open through the evening.
