Abram’s Chiropractic:  7815 Greenwood Ave N
Art Up Site

Featured Artist: Debra Stewart

I make my art as a way to communicate my passion and joy of nature with others. By mixing epoxy with pigments, then heating, curing and making subsequent layers, slowly I can build a window into a tiny slice of nature.

I hope to convey through my art my passion for water, geology, amorphous shape and form, and my visions of the infinite – the lifeforms in a drop of water, the fire in a cup of lava, the millions of years in a small layered rock – and for the viewer to have an emotional tug linking my art to a memory in their natural world.

Featured Artists: Anthony Zawitkowski , “LipServus” Sunny, Michael Paul Ambrose, Mikayla Fjeld, Amante De Mar, Jackie Mehtala

Anthony Zawitkowski – Anthony Zawitkowski is a visual artist and photographer born and raised in Seattle. Creativity is his greatest natural expression. His work reveals personality, openness and introspection. Anthony begins the artistic process with real life inspiration, then wraps his creative energy around the thought. His imagination brings the mundane to the abstract, ensuring no rules or limitations apply. He strives to channel expansive, free energy, giving viewers a new, cathartic perspective.

“LipServus” Sunny  – “LipServus” Sunny is inspired by the oft-transgressive power of adaptation, parody and homage. Thoughts and themes foraged from the vast junkyard of Sunny’s mind offer the audience the finest in up-cycled feelings through a personal prism of dark whimsy, known in technical circles as “Dwimsy”. Themes involve space, thresholds, love, animals, cars, and apparently, teeth.  Sunny also features unique familiarity with refractometers, and an uncommonly high surface area-to-mass ratio.

Michael Paul Ambrose – Michael Ambrose is a traveler, craftsman, and visual storyteller with his hands perpetually dirty.  He currently works in art-book making, assemblage, monotype, and alt-process photography.

Mikayla Fjeld – Growing up, art was a therapy for her and a way to express feelings and emotions she did not know how to convey. She had a rough childhood and battled addiction for many years. Now that she is sober, she has begun making art again, expressing those same emotions that any human could relate to, through surrealism and portraiture.

Hi! I’m Hilary. Social worker by day, artist by night. And animal lover, always.  I do my best to make sure my supplies are free from animal products! I always loved to draw growing up  but didn’t start painting until my 30^th birthday a few years back. I’m just getting to know acrylics and look forward to experimenting with new mediums and techniques!

Cunning Crow Apothecary: 9024 Greenwood Ave N
Art Up Site

Featured Artist: Eric Rabena

Earth Chimes are an energetic exploration of, and reverence to, the wisdom, perfection, and impermanence of the earth and all her beauty. 

The artist, Eric Rabena, combines earth elements—remnants of trees, animal skulls and horns, and a variety of healing gems and crystals—and binds them together with hemp rope, in a fusion of classical and macramé knots.

Earth Chimes are an extension of Eric’s yoga practice. They are a thoughtful and expansive expression of Conscious Awareness. Eric sculpts pieces that honor the strength, life, and energetic potency of each element. The Earth Chimes pay respect to the healing properties of the trees, animals, and gems. The elements represent the inevitable cycle of all things manifest: creation, sustaining, and eventually, death and reabsorption back into the whole—back into the nothing that holds everything.

All my life, I’ve been captivated by water–especially the sea. These paintings are a reflection of Oceans Above and Below–aerial oceans, from above the waves, as if one were floating right over the water, and cosmic abstracts from other planets, like photography negatives of earthly oceans. 

By connecting with the cosmic and most hidden, as well as the very surface of the earth, I hope to show how connected we are with all life on the planet.

Featured Artist: Odette Allen

My work is abstract in nature, using color to create emotion and drama, while the titles of my work serve to focus the emotion and message. I use my background in archival documentation and social activism to fuel artwork about the issues I find most pressing. The ultimate goal of my work is to enable people to broaden their emotional perspective, allowing them to empathize with perspectives they could not previously understand.

Featured Artist: Lauren Mitchell

I aim to create art that connects with people on some level. My inspiration comes mainly from nature, wildlife, and the built environment. I often paint from photos I’ve taken during travels, with the intention to spark reminiscence of the viewer’s own experiences. My bond with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest has motivated me to create art that could connect with people the same way nature does.

Featured Artist: Margaret Fitzgerald

Margaret Fitzgerald currently resides in Seattle with her partner, Julie, and a timeshare cat, Louie, who lives on the block.  She holds a BS in Art Education from Montana State University, Billings. She has recently returned to making art after a long career in the field of education. She is growing her art practice through participation in art classes, meeting with an art coach, attending gallery talks and making art daily in her home studio

“I enjoy using acrylic paints for my work and have recently been attracted to exploring mixed media painting and abstraction.  I completely surrender to the seductive nature of paint and color. Currently, I am following an arduous yet joyful process of exploring how I can juxtapose abstract and recognizable forms in order to satisfy a curiosity about how the concrete informs the purely imagined. “

I like to make interesting images. A mentor once said all of my photographs are infused with a haunting nostalgia. I have always been attracted to exploring my cameras’ abilities to create the dreamy realities I experience in my mind. Cameras are thought of as technical, mechanical instruments, but I use them much more intuitively to capture the world around me along with the emotions I am feeling while making the images. The end result provides insight into not only me, but also my perception of the somewhat universal experience of life.

From a young age I’ve been fascinated by the natural world.  Animals of all kinds, plants, trees, rocks, snow, and ice.  And dinosaurs.  I draw inspiration from being outdoors, especially in the PNW.  Much of my work is combination of various aspects of trips I’ve taken, and on occasion with hops and beers – the celebratory drink at a campsite, a summit, or the bar with friends after a great adventure.  I hope you enjoy and come share a RaineMaker with me!

OILS BY DENNIS

I started working in 1945 and retired in 2017.  Within that time, I became a workaholic. Three months into retirement boredom set in.  After I watched this artist on TV, I decided to try oil painting, even though I haven’t had any formal training in the arts and I was partially color blind.  I completed my first painting in February 2018, since then I have painted 29 more. My friends and associates praise my work and coax me on.  I enjoy the finished work and it gives me a feeling of self-worth.  My future plans are to take a few art classes at a local community college, (it might help and it can’t do any harm).
