After growing up in the Pacific Northwest, she went to school in Scotland (the University of Saint Andrews), Seattle (the University of Washington), and Alaska (the University of Alaska Anchorage.)   After school, she ventured into the world of professional writing, editing, and consulting — and has never looked back. Words have been Charlotte’s paintbrushes since a young age, and her stories whisper truths that the rest of us might be afraid to vocalize.

She is also an EMT, an Amateur Ham Radio Operator, a Wilderness First Responder, a Leave No Trace (LNT) trainer, and maintains current AIARE (American Institute for Avalanche Education) Level 2 certification.

Dave has also written a total of 30 books, although virtually non of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom “Dave’s World,” in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.

Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Ramainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman Show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men’s underpants with a Barbie doll.

In his spare time, Dave is a candidate for president of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets.

Dave lives in Miami, Florida, with his wife, Michelle, a sportswriter. He has a son, Rob and a daughter, Sophie, neither of whom thinks he’s funny.

She lives with a graphic designer and two dogs.

He holds degrees in graphic design and art, and is also an independent curator and lives in Seattle with his wife and cats. He’s joining us by the courtesies of the G. Gibson Gallery.

When he is not photographing, shooting films commercially, acting, or producing, Rodrigo likes to travel abroad and visually document his experiences. His work has appeared in publications and periodicals nationwide and internationally, including San Francisco-based CMYK, Seattle Magazine, Japanese PRECIOUS, Tennis Magazine and 425 Magazine – recently named the “Vanity Fair of the Eastside” by the Seattle PI, and to which he contributes regularly.
