Printmaking and collage artist Francy Blumhagen will be at Penn Cove Gallery on Friday, July 27,2018, from 10:00AM to 5:30PM, with some of the tools she uses in creating her art. The imagery of the natural world, such as color, pattern, texture, and movement, captivates her as an artist and forms the subjects of her art. Having lived on Whidbey most of her life, she finds that the Island provides ample inspiration for her imagery: its plants, birds and animals and the land, sea and sky where they are found. The work itself, usually not entirely realistic or abstract, is done in mixed media/collage and a variety of printmaking methods.
