King Jewelers is very pleased to display the artwork of Grants Pass artist Margaret “Marty� Dedrick. In her own words, Marty describes her passion for the brush and palette:

“My interest in art began in 1980 when a friend gave my husband and I a tole painted gift as a wedding present. Tole painting was my first expression of art. Several years later I took oil lesions at night school classes. Then my sister wowed me with the Old-Masters oil techniques she was learning. After retiring I took five years of Old-Masters lessons in Eureka, CA. Two years after moving to Grants Pass, I began lessons in watercolor. My love for painting in three different mediums must come from the Lord because I truly enjoy them all.

I belong to the Josephine Co Artists Assn. , the Brushstrokers, and Siskiyou Decorative Artists. My husband and I moved here in 2004 – we totally love Grants Pass and are inspired and enjoy all the community activities and expressions of art here.�
