October Featured Artist is Jan Priggee. Jan has recently explored acrylic inks and charcoal on unprimed canvas. The effect this can give is a softness or haziness to the piece of art whether it’s a landscape or abstract. Exploring these new techniques is fun and intriguing for Jan. Please stop in and enjoy her new paintings.
 Francy Blumhagen has worked as a full time artist since completing her BFA in Painting at the University of Washington in 1983. She divides her time between watercolor, acrylic painting, collage, and printmaking. Her pieces incorporate elements of all four methods and are described as “mixed media”. Her printmaking, uses the same materials: inks, paint, and several varieties of rice paper. The image on the printing press may remain the same but her methods are more painterly and allow her total freedom to experiment with color, types of mark making tools, and collage. Come in and see her beautiful work!

Our Featured Artist for June is Mary Ellen O’Connor, who works with copper, flame patinas, and 24k gold leaf. “I am passionate about nature, wildlife, metalwork and color. As a fine art metal-smith, my copper and 24k gold wall pieces are allowing me to work larger than ever before. I enjoy applying 24k gold leaf to copper panels to bring a new dimension to the wildlife I use in my designs. The flame patinas add incredible colors in a process that takes me to the knife’s edge of disaster or success. That level of challenge at this point of my career is truly a wonderful place to be as an artist.” Mary Ellen used these same techniques to create unique jewelry. Visit the gallery to view her stunning work.
