Media: Watercolor and Printmaking
I am a self taught watercolor artist who dabbles in oils. I have been painting for over 20 years and have been juried into many international shows. I am a signature member of NWWS and past President of Women Painters of Wa. Painting anything like rusty old cars, trucks and tractors are fun but my real love though is painting portraits, human and the four legged variety. Pouring watercolors and dabbling in printmaking have also been inspiring as it helps me to loosen up and give in to the media and just let it happen. 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.

Art of the Plow

Using an impressionistic impasto style each painting challenges me in my quest to push the boundaries and Blur the lines between representational and abstract.

Now I divide my studio time between the two. On my canvas the inspiring Northwest landscape gets filtered through my artists’ eye showing a different view of the world. |

Ron is an Anacortes wood artist, a self taught wood turner. He has had an interest and admired the the works of the artists that have mastered the medium. He has always enjoyed wood working. In the antique business he would match trim, and replace damaged parts etc. But this did not exercise his creative side. After retiring he researched by reading books and finding information on the internet. Learning the woods, tools, lathes, finishes, and overall procedures for over a year before purchasing his lathe and taking on the challenge. Once he started it went far beyond a hobby and turned into a passion. My passion is blending contemporary and natural shapes. An interaction between me and a piece of a living tree lets me sculpt wood into visual and tactical art. Many times the wood reveals its character and that changes its overall design. The shape comes once I have started turning and as I finish the piece. Many of my pieces are turned with green wood that is not com |
