Featured Artist: Tracy Wallschlaeger

Tracy Wallschlaeger is a Seattle artist and illustrator who works in oil and mixed media.  Her lifelong interest in nature and animals is often apparent in her work.  Warm colors and images inspired by the small Eastern Washington town where she grew up often merge with the cooler palette of her current world.   Each image is an invitation to visit a place where opposites not only attract, but thrive.  Animals co-exist with humans, albeit in unusual ways, and share each other’s story.   Her work has been described as warm and inviting, but with an underlying mystery.

Artist will be present.

Nature is all around us. We are never outside of it even though we may feel far removed from its touch. Having a background in Wildcrafting, Botanical Medicine, Fashion Design, Fiber Arts, Permaculture and Shamanic Studies has helped me understand my place in the natural world. It is through these skills that I’ve deepened my love and fascination with the green veil and striven to incorporate it into my life, my art, and my spiritual expression. Through my creations I hope to help others connect with the strong and vibrant medicine of the Earth and the nature spirits that surround us. My work includes decorative ritual tools, talismans, and empowered objects for use on altars, around the home and in sacred spaces and ceremonies. All are created in partnership with the spirits of the land.

Featured Artist: Alejandra Juliette Olivos.

My name is Alejandra Juliette Olivos, the eldest of 3, with roots extending from the PNW to Mexico. I’m an artist, daughter, dreamer, creature, thinker and siSTAR. I value love, justice, people, art, and healing. I recognize as a person that holds multiple identities (womxn, fluid, college educated, first generation, Xicana) that with the knowledge I have learned and continue to seek, that my entire being is political. I am in a constant journey of unlearning, uncovering, reflecting, thinking and growing as my consciousness continues to reroot. In my art I acknowledge the beauty that the earth has allowed us to experience, and remember that we all depend on one another to survive. Through bright colors and bold lines I ask the person that is entering my world(s) to keep in mind that they will experience the pieces differently, through my stream of consciousness for each art piece I recognize that each one of us has different lived experiences and comes from different places. I am in the process of undoing how trauma through colonialism and my lived experiences have impacted my mind, body and soul. I choose to create art because it is an extension of my being, and survival.

Featured Artist: Derek Erdman

Derek Erdman loves Triscuits, Haribo Bears, hiring couples to impersonate him at his gallery shows, psychic hotlines, the Misfits, and playing loud animal noises out the windows of his apartment to see how people react. He once sold dozens of signs from condos and donated all the proceeds to a women’s shelter called Mary’s Place. Most of all, Erdman loves to paint–he is probably painting you right now. Also, he is soon leaving town, and this will be one of his last shows as a resident of Seattle–crack open a box of Triscuits and get over here.

These 16 murals of artwork by nearly 200 people living with dementia and memory loss tell a different story—one of hope, connection, purpose and courage. One look and you immediately realize—they are definitely Still Here, living with dignity, creativity and joy.

Featured Artist: Meggi MacKenzie, Plein Aire Artist

I recently returned to Seattle from Santa Barbara, CA as I was born & raised here and 3 of my 4 daughters & 5 grandchildren live here. My art experience began in my early formative years:  I would lay on the living room floor in front of the picture window of my neighbor, coloring in my Betty Grable crayon book. I moved to Santa Barbara in 1985 and took advantage of free art lessons by accomplished local artists. I joined a pleine aire art group,   S-C-A-P-E, Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment. I was Paint-Out Chair, organizing monthly paint outs in the local areas of Santa Barbara County 11 months of the year. Then I was invited to join the Board of Directors and voted President for 4 terms of 2 years. I continued on the Board until a few years ago. I am now interested in painting with local artists in the environment

Mythic Journeys: This personal collection, which spans two decades, is the result of an ongoing dialogue with Spirit.  Drawn from channeled visions, gleaned from inner journeys and dreams to create altar pieces that honor the Sacred Feminine in the form of Deity, Spirit or Fetish/Totem. The inspiration is mainly derived from a Celtic mythopoiec lens where nature is infused with the Divine.

Featuerd Artist: Lindsey Schoeneman

Lindsey’s work explores the reflective metaphors exchanged between psychological spaces and the external natural world. She believes in the experience of aliveness as landscape, as weather, as moments of the moon, as wakeful and unconscious, and as dynamic encounters with paradox. Her work is an effort to illuminate the myste­rious, the nuanced, the nebulous, the intangible—the living of a life that asks us to embody the complexity of existence, remaining open to what we do not know and what we cannot hold onto.

Featured Artists: Barbara Gipple and Mary Powers

Come meet two amazing local artists and enjoy snacks, wine & music at Windermere Greenwood:

BARB GIPPLE is a Seattle artist who draws and paints with oilsticks and graphite on paper.  She looks to urban street painting (graffiti) for inspiration – with its informality, spontaneous gesture, multi-textured surfaces and unexpected color.  Surrounded by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges, Puget Sound, rainforests and the rich countryside of the Pacific Northwest, landscape imagery is exerting a stronger presence in her artwork; her tabletop still-lives are giving way to energetic compositions of mountains, foothills and water vistas. Gipple has a BFA (PNCA, Portland, OR) and an MFA (Columbia University, NYC) in drawing and painting.

MARY POWERS gives new life to antique jewelry using pieces from the Victorian era, 1920’s beads and reworked chain.

“Witch Essence”

What does it mean to be a Witch? To call oneself and be called a Witch? To practice a craft that is timeless, yet ever-changing? To be of this world, but also walk in liminal realms and to see the unseen and speak with the unknown? Through mixed media, the artist explores the realm of spirit, spellcraft, and witchery.

Laura Tempest Zakroff is an artist, author, designer, and dancer, based in Seattle, Washington. Laura received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design. In her youth, she trained with honors at Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia and was the first recipient of the Francis & Shirley Hipp award for excellence in the visual arts from the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts. Her artwork has received awards and recognition worldwide, and has been published in numerous books and magazines.

Laura works mainly in mixed media, combining printmaking techniques with painting and drawing, often using reclaimed wood and layered papers. Her work explores the realm of myth and other liminal spaces.

Essie the Mermaid is a 24-year-old Seattle native and owner of Essie Mermaid Photography, a Seattle-based underwater photography business. As an accomplished scuba and apnea diver, underwater photography allows Essie to combine her passion for the environment, imagination and art, and diving into one giant amazing experience. She draws inspiration from fantasy themes to create unique and powerful images underwater.

She prides herself on helping her subjects feel comfortable in the water and has found something deeply rewarding in the process. Being in the water while having your photo taken is the closest thing in this world to magic. Every shot is a completely different take than the last and almost everything in the shot is dependent on the water – the way the light filters beneath the surface, the way that one little movement results in a dramatic change. This is what makes underwater photography such a rewarding and challenging endeavor.

Oil paintings & pin-ups

I was born and raised in Newport News, VA and moved to Seattle in 2004. Art and drawing have always been an interest of mine from an early age. Having dabbled with painting over the years, I have grown a passion for oil painting. I use my own photography for my reference. I also like to paint a still life occasionally, though mostly for study. I like to paint figurative art that is simple, yet complicated, and like life-a bit surreal.

Art Up and Chow Down Site

Featured Artist: Amelia McGee

As a former editor, I find the concept of editing to be a universal framework. Realizing that art too can be iterative, especially when applied to collage, was liberating, allowing me to enjoy the process of making without worrying about the end product. Nothing in my creative process is wasted—castoffs make fodder for other projects.

Subject-wise, I am inspired by the imperfect geometry of nature. In the repetition of an organic pattern, there is a wide range of extrapolation on any shape, yet all hang together in one gorgeous composition. This dovetails with my love for abstract art, with its paradoxical confined wildness, organized into something that makes you instinctively feel right. Like nature, abstract art can be wild and uneven, yet wholly cohesive.

Ken’s will have their usual array of tasty grab and go food options available.

My artwork contrasts the materiality of feminine craft with more masculine digital/electrical cabling and bare screws, creating a peculiarity to these fun pieces, that makes them contest gender norms. For those that know the crafts of knitting and crocheting, the textured patterns in many of these pieces will be familiar. Growing up having learned to knit and crochet from my mother, the use of such forms in my work is deeply personal. With knitting, crocheting, weaving, and basket weaving techniques, I look to have their labor and materiality emote in my work. The cables put on display in my artwork create discourse on their utility or lack thereof, especially in the context of society keeping wires out of sight and the movement to go wireless. By mixing traditional craft with electrical cable materials, I’ve taken two contrasting forms with functions and stripped them of their function so they can be viewed formally in a beautiful and quirky way. These almost monochromatic pieces are complex yet simple and are meant to be lighthearted and playful.

In addition, Arbor Creative Media will screen a line up of free PG family-friendly films.

Amelia Sherritt has lived in the Seattle area her whole life and finds inspiration in her city as well as the surrounding beauty of the state of Washington.  Her passion lies within the study of Art History and love of industrious arts.  Amelia’s focus of creating recycled art started in 2007 and the palate of her work relies solely on the foils from emptied wine bottles.

Each piece of art contains hundreds, if not thousands of wine foils gathered from local wineries, restaurants and friendly winos.

“I love to think of how each foil represents a memory or experience shared.  By re-purposing these foils, I am able to make what would normally be thrown away into something long lasting and beautiful.”

Her current collection depicts a whimsical portrayal of various animals and other colorful subjects.

What does it mean to be a Witch? To call oneself and be called a Witch? To practice a craft that is timeless, yet ever-changing? To be of this world, but also walk in liminal realms and to see the unseen and speak with the unknown? Through mixed media, the artist explores the realm of spirit, spellcraft, and witchery.

Laura Tempest Zakroff is an artist, author, designer, and dancer, based in Seattle, Washington. Laura received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design. In her youth, she trained with honors at Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia and was the first recipient of the Francis & Shirley Hipp award for excellence in the visual arts from the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts. Her artwork has received awards and recognition worldwide, and has been published in numerous books and magazines.

Laura works mainly in mixed media, combining printmaking techniques with painting and drawing, often using reclaimed wood and layered papers. Her work explores the realm of myth and other liminal spaces.

Featured Artist: Cecile Disenhouse

I am a watercolor painter living in Greenwood.

I have been teaching watercolor painting at the Lifetime Learning Center for three years.

I especially enjoy the watercolor medium because of its freshness and transparency.  It is perfect for capturing nature and so transportable.  Occasionally I will add ink to a painting to enhance it.

I have spent much of my life hiking in the wilderness and enjoy painting nature, especially on location.   I especially enjoy plein air painting in our beautiful Northwest.  I carry a small palette, a few brushes, and some watercolor paper.  Despite the extra weight, I also love to take my paints on hiking and backpacking trips in the Cascades, Olympics and Canadian Rockies.

I also love painting in Seattle.  I find the buildings in places like Ballard quite fascinating.  I also enjoy doing some of our Seattle landmarks such as the Troll or Elephant Car Wash.

Featured artist: Eric Green

From a young age motivation to travel with a skateboard took Eric from one town to the next, to big cities and eventually across the globe and back.  Picking up a camera to document the adventure was a natural progression.  Today Eric shoots travel photography, features in skateboard magazines, look books for clothing brands and product photography.

Featured Artist: Jena Marie Thompson presents I’ll Fly Away

I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away . . .

Death of a loved one is one of the most detrimental times in a person’s life. Mourning the loss of one of the most influential people in your life may take years, even a lifetime. These images are a personal project of mourning the loss of my grandmother, not only an inspiration but a strong supporter in my life. The use of birds is connected with the symbolism that birds, being the only species able to be present on earth and fly to the heavens. Not unlike the people who leave this world onto the next, their souls not being present on earth, but within our memories.

Memories of my grandmother singing the religious hymn I’ll Fly Away correlates with the idea of parting this life, along with the subject matter. The technique of scanning different specimen and parts of birds and their life cycle is an examination on the human life cycle, through an emotional sense, focusing on decay. The last week of my grandmother’s life was spent in the confines of stark hospital walls. This experience has only been the beginning of both religious and philosophical exploration of the purpose a single life holds. Many of the images show the fragility of the objects shown, a metaphor for the fragility of life. It is my intent that the work not only be a personal memorial and mourning of a loved one, but also a reminder of the flightiness of life.

. . . Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away . . .

Jena Marie Thompson is a Northwest born photographer. She spent four years at a commercial photography school and earned her Bachelors of Fine Art in Photography in 2015. Her focus is in fine art photography. Her method of creating art is to generate imagery that is not only therapeutic to herself, but her audience as well.

When Jena isn’t creating art, she also enjoys photographing people. Whether it’s portraits or editorial work, her eye for location lighting is above the rest. She enjoys finding new locations and making her shoots with clients fun and easy going.

Amateur scientist, professional artist, lover of microorganisms, painter of Protozoa, and general admirer of the natural world, I make paintings based on observed samples of water gathered from many places around the world. I have nicknamed these “cell portraits” and consider them a different way of determining a sense of place. I use the medium of illustration, gouache, gold, and sometimes even salt and soil, to create my paintings.

I’m interested in the microcosmos, the unseen engine of life in our word that keeps creation digesting food, making oxygen, returning to dust, and springing forth anew. From blastocyst to decomposition bacteria, we’re all a bunch of beautiful, cycling cells.

Fabric of the Night Sky: Illustrations by Julia Y

Astrology is humanity’s search for our own reflections in the night sky. Each viewer projects an image of themselves on to the stars, and the stars reflect back powerful avatars.

The constellations and myths of the twelve zodiac signs have been observed for thousands of years across multiple continents. From classical mythology to Renaissance art to daily horoscopes, each era has its own way of keeping alive the stories that are woven into our collective consciousness.

This series is my visual retelling of the zodiac signs, based on my own interpretations of the myths and shapes of the constellations. I have combined my own sense of color, gesture, and unique mixed-media process to create a new incarnation of these ancient symbols. Each piece starts with a gestural drawing which is then printed on fabric, collaged to a background, painted and finally embroidered with an overlay of its constellation.

Featured Artist: Jessica Ghyvoronsky

I believe the secret to living a meaningful life is to spend it finding
out what makes us the most happy, and then to serve that gift to the
world. I’ve learned firsthand that using my giftings and highest strengths
in the service of something larger than myself has brought a level of
satisfaction and impact that has revolutionized the intention behind my
pursuit of the arts. I have had the privilege of being involved with
numerous community related art ventures that have given me the opportunity
to experience the beauty of using art as a language and a tool to inspire
people and bring positive change.

My goal is the same as nearly every other serious artist: To create works
of art that carry such deep meaning that they move people into deeper
revelations of reality. I believe there is one constant truth that
everything and everyone in existence is searching for. My search for this
truth is the source of my inspiration and the purpose of my dedication.

Featured artist: Amy Liz and Steve Tennant

Little Amy Liz lived in Illinois for 28 years; from the not so bad parts of Chicago to the sprawling cornfields of Dekalb and everywhere in between. She has always had a problem with authority and tradition. In her freshmen year of high school she was kicked out of art class and not allowed to study art any further. She spent a decade dropping in out of various schools and changing majors half a dozen times. In 2013 she finally earned an associate’s degree in graphic design. She discovered she hates typography. Her entry level design job was outsourced to someone in China. She packed up her cats and moved to Seattle. After a year or so she decided to paint whatever she felt like painting.

The viewer will find flaws in her composition and they might be intentional. There is also symbolism in the colors and shapes, those might be accidental. She believes the narrative of the artwork is up to the viewer. It is not her job to tell you what to think. She offers secret messages in her painting and meaning where there really isn’t any to be found. The square and the circle could represent the inequality of genders or it could just be a square and a circle. It’s her secret and your story.

Greenwood Rising – A show celebrating the art and community of Greenwood after the March 2016 explosion, presented by the PNA and Urban Hands. Days after a gas explosion damaged dozens of businesses in the heart of Greenwood, street artists organized by Greenwood nonprofit Urban Hands converged on the neighborhood to paint colorful plywood murals over blown-out windows and doors.

The murals slowly left the neighborhood as storefronts were repaired, but professional photographer Chuck Johnson has given the art new life by combining photos of the murals with mixed digital art to enhance, alter, and bring to life different components of the images. Greenwood Rising will showcase these uniquely community-based art pieces. The original pieces are not for sale but prints of most of the art pieces will be available for purchase.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 10, 7-9 pm.
Meet many of the artists and celebrate the community at the Opening Reception, which will take place one year after the Greenwood explosion.

Featured artist: Teresa Getty

Teresa Getty works in layers, creating an archeology of experience, weaving time and memory. Process informs content. Sanding, pulling things out of the work, or pouring over them acts on the idea of impermanence, allowing for unexpected evolution. Instances of significant imagery remain, acting as anchors for the viewer. Other personal references are almost entirely obscured, existing only as bits of information. Thus, the work becomes an opened visual diary expressed in the language of line and form with the dynamic of color as key.

Teresa Getty received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the US.

Caitlin is a visual artist working in Seattle. She renders boundaries between real and invented and invented space using a combination of chalk pastel and acrylicc painting. Caitlin’s work explores themes of alternate realities, gender and religious representation. She uses classical approaches to portray figures in comtemplaive mindfulness; as the process of finding, losing and defining edges and texture takes patience and presence. Living in a culture wrought with distractions, fast interactions and instant gratification, our sense of patience is disrupted. Her objective is to create images that slow down and encourage the viewer to be here now.

Derek Orbiso Dizon is a Filipino American visual artist based in Seattle.  Born to immigrant parents from the Philippine Islands, the art Derek creates are expressions of a path in navigating and reclaiming the spirit, memory, and stories of his Ilokano, Cebuano, and Bikolano ancestry.  Derek believes cultural work and artistic expression can be used as a vessel for healing and resistance not only for Filipinos within the diaspora, but for all peoples around the world who have been impacted by centuries of colonization, war, genocide, and displacement.  Much of Derek’s work centers around stories of intergenerational grief, reclamation, and liberation.  As an organizer, Derek values the importance of community-centered healing arts spaces.  Derek is a member of the KapwaMana Collective, co-founder of the API Flying Bookshelf, and a community organizer with API Chaya. Recently, his latest works have been showcased at Out of Sight 2016 and SPEAN Rajana ARTS Summit: InterXections.

When I look into someone’s eyes or stand in the presence of nature, they are the muse. I use painting as my medium to express a feeling I cannot capture in words.

Featured Artist: Michelle Hickman

Michelle Hickman grew up in New York, graduated from Harvard, and now lives in the Seattle area.  She paints primarily with acrylics on canvas, and especially loves the beauty, symmetry, and symbolism of mandalas.  These ancient circular patterns are found across a broad array of cultures and religious traditions.  Michelle’s process begins with creating a backdrop to set the mood of the piece; next, she uses a compass, protractor, and ruler to create the circular grid; finally, acrylic paints are used to add various intricate details in a symmetrical pattern.  The process is very meticulous and slow, but simultaneously very rewarding.  Creating and studying these motifs can be a meditative tool, leading to increased feelings of peace and balance.
