May Featured Artist: Marianne Borozny

4/25/2022

 
Marianne’s love for photography began with her dad’s Kodak Instamatic family photos and slideshows. A post-college IRS windfall enabled her to purchase her first camera, a Pentax K1000, with which she explored black and white candid images and cityscapes. Eventually she became enamored with creating the “close-up” nature scape with which she tries to capture a moment while distilling and crystallizing a scene’s shapes and textures.

Katy Holley - March Featured Artist

2/26/2022

 
​Katy Holley couldn't stop drawing all over her school papers as a child, so when she was 12 her parents found an eccentric art teacher who taught in the style of the old masters to help channel her perpetual doodles. Painting grabbed her attention, and she fell in love with the works of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. She pursued further education at Columbus College of Art and Design for three years, and has continued to paint ever since. Katy aspires to instill a feeling of sensitivity and drama to otherwise mundane, quiet, and overlooked subjects.

As a wife, and mother to two energetic young children, artistic pursuit has mostly been relegated to an evening activity, but nearly every night Katy can be found painting while listening to her favorite audiobooks or podcasts.

February Featured Artist: Archana Bhat

1/25/2022

 
Penn Cove Gallery is pleased to welcome Archana Bhat as a new member of our gallery. She is a landscape photographer with over 16 years of photography experience. Archana has earned recognition for her photography in winning photo competitions, her writing has been shared in the hiking communities and photos have been published internationally in National Geographic as well as many media outlets in the USA.
 
Archana likes to find subjects and viewpoints in our natural world that draw the eye to stillness and serenity. To reflect on scale in our environment she makes use of close-up images of the sun, ocean, or man-made such as bridges, to give perspective on how small we are. Her Whidbey Collection embraces an exploration of finding peace and serenity in the natural beauty of the Salish Sea as expressed in mirrored reflections or long exposures of tidal movement. Some others highlight the wild side with stormy skies or waves breaking against rocky shorelines.
 
 
Visit Penn Cove Gallery at 9 Front Street in Coupeville WA
Open daily 10:00am to 5:00pm.

Featured Artist for January is Randy Emmons

1/1/2022

 
​An art student in the 50s and 60s, Randy grew up in Monterey, CA, around artists, mostly local oil painters. When he got to college there were two wonderful watercolorists whose work hooked him on the wonderful wet watercolors they made. After a break for a career in the Navy, Randy returned to watercolor on Whidbey Island.
Color and Design are the strongest elements in Randy’s pieces. To paint reality is a job for the camera. To paint an emotion, that’s the job of an artist.  Whimsy, fantasy, cartoony, all have described his work. You judge and describe it your way.
