Heirloom Vases fused glass 5x2”
|
Media: Glass, and Mixed Media
My works are the result of my desire to create a unique balance of color and texture using a variety of glass fusing techniques. The inspiration for my suspended abstracts is derived from the synchronicity in random displays of nature. " Synchronicity is a concept which holds that events are meaningful coincidences if they occur with no casual relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related," Carl Jung. For example the way seaweed is tossed by waves onto a pebbled beach, or the way trees randomly drop leaves and twigs on a path. I see this as unintentional perfection which I attempt to reflect in my abstracts. I am also enamored with the contrast created by combining indiscriminate design and deliberate creation demonstrated in my crackle bowls. The crackle technique used provides me little to no control of where the lines will form in the primary portion of the bowl while a mold of specific shape is used to create the embellishment. Other examples of this contrast might be leather and lace, or tree bark and crystal. With heat and cold, glass varies from a molten dripping substance to brittle shards. It is these delightful contrasts that draw me toward glass as my primary medium. Visit this artist's website |

'Clearing Skies' - watercolor, 12x9
|
Media: Watercolor, Pastel, and Mixed Media
Art and creativity have been a motivating force in my life ever since I can remember. I have painted throughout my adult life in conjunction with nursing, parenting, and other of life’s demands. In mid-life I combined my backgrounds in art and nursing to become an art therapist, a profession which I have loved and practiced for over thirty years. Now semi-retired, I am able to spend more time painting and creating as a primary activity. Largely inspired by nature, travel, and the environment, I try to capture the essence of what I see as well as the reality, and to create a feeling of depth and tranquility in my work I have expanded my medium of watercolor to pastels, mixed media and collage. I also like to make art using an abstract approach to painting stimulating images to emerge from the unconscious mind. These works represent the inner journey from a collective perspective, with a theme of personal growth and spiritual healing. Visit this artist's website |

'Solitude2020', 11X15, Photo transfer to beach-aged wood
|
Media: Mixed Media, Photography, and Acrylics
I am inspired by how layers and time build each of us. Both my photography and paintings are layered pieces. I like to repurpose discarded materials, am attracted to textures and exploring transitions in time. And I want each piece to be unique. I use multiple images, collage materials, and substrates to tell my story about the subject. I use pieces of wood I find on the beach, the inside of aluminum cans, cracked surfaces, metal leaf, or a painting. My paintings are multiple layers using mixed media. Visit the artist's website |

Pelagic Peril, 24x32, oil on canvas
|
Media: Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking
Visual artist David C. Kane, born in Bellingham Washington, lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, has shown his paintings, drawings and prints in area galleries for over 35 years. He was educated at the University of Washington, most notably under Jacob Lawrence and Michael Spafford. The work is grounded historically and culturally, rooted in the conditions which created him as a person and as an artist: the intense nationalism of the 1930s that formed the consciousness of his parents' generation, and the blind belief in technology and the march of progress of the post-war era into which he was born. The work presents an authentic lens onto a contemporary culture that is the result of that same constellation." Visit this artist's website |

Against the Flow, stratomorphic rendering
|
Media: Stratomorphic Rendering
We see the world in layers of truthful representation, but what if our vision was opened to the shadows of the truth beyond the real? My art is the unknown just beyond the familiar. I begin with a photograph and then go deep into the image itself to free the restless phantasmagorias within the still life. Through Stratomorphic Rendering, a digital media technique that involves painstakingly working through multiple artistically enhanced layers of each image, I coax out the heart of each piece to deliver a visual experience that offers more than reality.

Media: Photography
It is my hope that anyone who has viewed my work will approach a primitive area with a new perspective. They will take a deep breath, be still and wait in silence. They’ll allow time for the area to recover from their intrusion, walk a few steps, stop, wait, then a few more steps, and stop again. It is surprising how much wildlife can be seen when moving through the woods like this! Visit this artists website |

Stone sculpture is a dirty, time consuming art, but the results are beautiful. My work, in mostly exotic stone, varies from figurative to freeform and from 5# to over 400#. Come see my work (it always looks better in person) and also enjoy my beautiful view of the islands. Visit this artist's website |

Media: Pastel, and Watercolor
Art for me is a means of expressing part of what it means to be human and to be sensitively aware of one's surroundings. It's the noticing of, the study of, the response to, and the attempt to capture in colors, shapes and textures, not in words, both the ordinary and the breathtaking in our midst. It's quite an ambitious endeavor and a very exciting one too! Visit this artist's website |

Media: Colored & Graphite Pencil
My earliest memories include drawing, whenever and wherever I could. I have had a love affair with creating art my entire life. While my work has included nearly every subject matter available, I have always enjoyed capturing the emotion displayed in the human face. I am currently putting together a book featuring my colored pencil portraits entitled, “It’s Written On Their Faces”. (The Color Of Emotion). My work has been featured globally in “CP Treasures Vol 6, Colored Pencil Masterworks From Around The Globe”. Additionally, my work has been published 4 times in the last year. |
