October 2025

For the month of October, the Orcas Island Library’s ‘Art in the Library’ exhibit will feature the paintings of Dennis Dahl.

Dennis has been an active Orcas Islander for 35 years, working as teacher and football coach at the public school and in many volunteer activities, including his current position on the board of Orcas Parks and Recreation.

In retirement, Dennis has found joy in painting, studying with artist Carla Stanley at the Senior Center. In his own words: “My work is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds me, and reflects a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors, community and Island life.”
