Diana Fairbanks



I walked much later today and ran into one of my favorite friends, who happens to be a neighbor and who also walks Alki Beach on a regular basis. In fact, she has been walking it a lot longer than I have. Diana has lived in this neighborhood for many years and bought a beautiful house when this area was still a sleepy, quiet, out of the way beach community.

Diana is one of the most accomplished and multi-talented people I know. At the top of her list is her work as a fine artist. Diana has exhibited her work in numerous shows and galleries throughout the State of Washington. She also designed and painted the landscape mural on the wall of our local Sun Fish Restaurant.

Diana has a PhD from the University of Washington, is the author (along with Mike Sedam) of the fabulous book "The Backroads of Washington" and is the owner of Alki Image Specialists.

Diana will be exhibiting her paintings at Sapphire in Edmonds beginning February 15.

Here is one of her paintings:
