Artist Statement<\/h3>\n<p>I moved to Vashon Island in 1989, built a home, and as Director of Sales, commuted to Group Health in Seattle for many years. When I retired from work, I enrolled in a painting class with a local artist, and was able to market my paintings in several galleries. Soon after that, I began painting pet portraits on a commission basis for clients throughout the state. <\/p>\n<p>While living on a 42\u2019 sailboat, I began designing sterling silver earrings to honor my cat, Toby. The cat designs reflect parts of my personality. Many of the earrings and necklaces include dog breeds, astrological signs, and numerous other images. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80%\" height=\"80%\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam-700x373.jpg 700w, https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vivartists.com\/viva\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FB-VIVA-MemberShow-Meriam-1140x608.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":269,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2315","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Carole Meriam | Vashon Island Visual Artists<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Carole Meriam - Artist.
