I grew up on Camano Island. But much of its history and many of its places and people are still unknown to me.
I’ve a project called Discover Beautiful Camano Island so that I can learn more about this place I love and so that I can sharing its stories, its people and its beauty with others.
This summer on my vacation I will be exploring the places, people and stories of Camano. I will share what I learn through a series of blog posts and videos. I will also begin to paint Camano’s “places”.
My dream is that this project will culminate in Sunnyshore Studio’s publication of the book Discover Beautiful Camano Island, the release of a documentary video about Camano, and a show featuring artworks of Camano Island artists selected to paint the places of Camano.
Stanwood-Camano friends, I need your help in deciding what places to feature and what people to interview. The big categories that I’m working with are: Farms, Parks, Hikes, Public Beaches, Churches, Art Galleries/Studios, Stores/Markets/Shopping, Recreation venues (like Camaloch Golf course), and Historic Buildings.
But I’m also open to special places that don’t fit into these categories.
WHAT ARE THE PLACES AND WHO ARE THE PEOPLE I SHOULD FEATURE IN MY BOOK?
If you know of any special Camano places, people or stories please let me know at: sunnsyhorestudio@gmail.com.
