LaRee Johnson - Astoria's waterfront and historic ambience give me daily inspiration for my photography and writing.

She has taken an active role in the community serving on the Board of Directors for the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Association and the Journey’s End National Art Exhibition. She is a member of the Clatsop County Historical Society, Costume Society of America and the National Button Society. LaRee’s photographs appear in her first book, Ladies’ Vintage Accessories published by Collector Books in 2001, which is a comprehensive value and identification guide to ladies accessories from the 1800’s through modern times, including hats, gloves, fans, shoes, hosiery, hankies, aprons, etc. She has also self-published Destination: The Pacific in collaboration with Andrew E. Cier, which highlights the Lewis & Clark sites at the mouth of the Columbia River. She has shown her collection “Portals of Russia,” and “Fishtales,” a series on Alaska fishing done for FisherPoets. Her current work focuses on the Columbia River traffic and seagulls.
