Featured Artist: Amelia Sherritt
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.

“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.

The Fixture Gallery: 8221 Greenwood Ave N
Art Up Site
Featured Artist: Tom Boatright and Artisan Oils
The artisan oil paints that Tom creates allow him to paint a fluid style. He mixes raw oils, pigments, resins, powders and mica metallics to produce vibrant colors, surface textures, light refraction and organic patterns. The paints vary in viscosity and are layered, applied in a sequence, to produce certain effects. The painting may have heavy texture, luminescence or crystalline shapes. They collaborate with him in the process. More than color; they hold the energy:
“The paints are a prism of color; the vibrations create a light spectrum.”
Tom’s process is alchemical; the paintings effect the artist and the audience. The canvas and paints are the container for the energy. It is an experiential process. If the art resonates, they convey emotion – they emote. It is escapism, through the illusion and glamour, to the real and illusive world beneath the surface. It is an invitation to experience the painting.

Seattle Recycled Arts Festival Site
Featured Artist: Graham Shodda
My work is primarily assembled from discarded, recycled, or salvaged materials — mostly metal — and many from a bygone era where I find an intrinsic beauty and style in their design and construction. I endeavor to invent a new existence for these abandoned objects, repurposing their streamlined or eclectic forms into unique pieces of art.
A single piece of ‘junk’ is often all it takes to inspire a project. Most of the components in the finished sculpture are recognizable and invoke curiosity, pleasure, and wonder for the viewer, which to my mind is part of the purpose and beauty of art.

Phinney Books: 7405 Greenwood Ave. N
Art Up Site
Featured Artist: Lee Harper
Photography
I live and work in the neighborhood and a lot of my photos are taken within walking distance. My photography has evolved in the last few years, first with a focus on macro photography, and now I have a growing interest in all things flying, as well as black and white photography. I upped my game after finally breaking out the camera manual and investing in some photography classes.
Phinney Books will feature some of my Little Locals, mini art that reminds me of making shrink dinks growing up (except for the burning plastic smell of course!) The reality is that most of us don’t have a lot of room on our walls for big art. These little guys can hang on a wall or sit on a shelf and they make great gifts! There will also be some framed art, including some of my abstract photography, created by intentionally moving the camera while taking a photograph. The end result is something that looks more like a watercolor than a photograph.

Featured Artist: Amber Leaders
I’ve been a digital artist for 17 years. I love to mix mid century modern design and graphic illustration. I’m passionate about color, shapes, and creating a joyful feeling of nostalgia with a modern twist. As I move forward in life I am realizing art and life is an ever-evolving journey. I currently live in North Seattle with my husband and two small dogs. I absolutely love coffee, looking for vintage treasures, and spending time with friends.
“Unity” (the piece above) was created in response to recent events. There is a uniqueness in individuality but when people stand together unified in thought and in love, true beauty exists.

Currently I am a Ballard High School student and paint whenever I can. I enjoy all types of art from the pencil drawings I did when I was younger to Aerosolgrafia (spray paint art), Acrylic on Canvas and Oil on Canvas. My most recent being Oil on Canvas. Over the last year, I have been looking into the field of digital concept art. I find that trying different art styles is enjoyable and has contributed to my growth as an artist.
I paint because it makes me happy, and if I can make others happy in the process then I know I’m doing the right thing. When I paint, I am always looking for new ways to express my ideas and get the viewer engaged as much as possible. My goal as an artist is to become the best I can be and use my God given talent to bless others.
