The Power of Water


A week of warm weather has pushed the water levels up in the desert rivers of the west.  A big charge of muddy water pushed through the Palouse River canyon in the southeast corner of Washington. Rushing through basalt cliffs and over Palouse Falls, a two hundred foot drop,  then making its way its confluence with the Snake River 6 miles below.


The power of water cutting through solid rock is illustrated to perfection in the desert rivers of the west. The Columbia plateau, is just one example of it strength, illustrated with hundreds of small pothole lakes dotting the basalt terrain.

New Studio Inspirations

Warm light streams through the windows facing the river and fills the walls of the new studio. All of Jerri's new work has been produced in the new space, and several pieces reflect the change and growth of her unique style.





Jerri will be exhibiting fourteen new pieces in her annual show at the Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Downtown Seattle, January 6th through the 31st.
