Featured Artist for March is Richard Nash

2/22/2021

As a non-representational painter and sculptor, Richard focuses on the compositional elements to create an enduring form of visual poetry. The play of light and shadow on architectural and organic forms guide and inspire his work. He often uses a subdued “Northwest” palette to encourage a focus on the design components. His work has been described as complex, thoughtful, and well composed.
 
Richard holds a BFA and MFA from Washington State University where he received a one-year scholarship to study art at Nihon University in Tokyo, Japan. He also received a one-year sabbatical to study art and architecture in Western Europe, Israel, Russia, and Turkey from the Oak Harbor School District culminating in an art history program. Retiring in 2006 after a 30-year career as an art educator at the secondary level, he began working full time as an artist.
 
if you would like to visit with Richard, he will be present in the gallery March 11th & 12th.
 
Penn Cove Gallery is located at 9 Front Street in Coupeville, WA. Thursday through Monday 11:00am to 4:00pm

February Featured Artist -- John Olsen

2/2/2021

 
Penn Cove Gallery features photographer John Olsen in February. Olsen carries on the traditions of B&W film photography and has been shooting here on Whidbey since 2007. He says "I am drawn to B&W photography using film and darkroom printing techniques, because I feel the results are more expressive of my own personal effort. I like the demanding authority of a heavy camera, and the finality of committing to a piece of film, even when it’s the last in my bag. Printing in my darkroom, with all of its chemical and technical mess, is a satisfying challenge for me."

We are back with Francy Blumhagen as Featured Artist

6/4/2020

 
Picture
Printmaker and collage artist Francy Blumhagen tell us that having lived on Whidbey Island most of her life, she finds that the Island provides ample inspiration with the imagery of the natural world. This captivates her as an artist with its many plants, birds and animals; the land, sea and sky. The work itself is usually not entirely realistic or abstract, but develops from color, pattern, texture, and movement. We will be re-opening June 6th, come take a look!
