Dick and Jane's Spot
Art for the heart,
from the heart, in the heart of Washington
101 North Pearl St • Ellensburg,WA 98926
Dick & Jane each received a BA in Art from Central Washington
University, in 1971. Dick Elliott and Jane Orleman have created
an art site predominantly from their own play, but it is also
a collection of the work and play of over 35 artists. Dick &
Jane's Spot is dedicated to the philosophy of "one hearty
laugh is worth ten trips to the doctor." |
