Colette Griffith

Originally from Hollywood, California, I moved to the Skagit Valley about 15 years

ago. The things I love about living here inspired me to learn to paint using watercolors. There is no shortage of subjects to paint here including the majestic

Bald eagles, the Great Blue herons, the cattle grazing in the fields outside of vintage barns, and of course, the historic buildings and landmarks.

In the last few years I expanded my art into using pastels and colored pencils. I was lucky enough to have one of my art pieces chosen to be in Colored Pencil Magazine’s annual edition of 2024. I have shown my artwork all over the Skagit Valley and was proud to have been a member of the (now defunct) Skagit Artists.

I also discovered I absolutely love painting animals. In 2023 I was honored to be selected to be a member of the prestigious International Association of Animal Artists Society. I continue to do pet portrait commissions. You can see more of my animals on Facebook at:  Pet Portraits by Colette.
