Spring 2021 Art Walk: April 8, May 13, June 10
Featured Q2 Artist! Congratulations to Jenna Roby whose lovely original watercolor, These Small Hours, graces the new poster AND walking maps, available in participating businesses this week. You can see Jenna’s work in May and June at Viscon Cellars.
About the Artist
As a creative watercolor artist, Jenna strives to create beauty out of the chaos. Jenna’s paintings are created by vibrant washes of watercolor mixing together to create unique and unpredictable combinations. Then she molds and shapes the image and slowly builds while still highlighting the chaotic first layers. Life is unpredictable, live free.. paint free.
Jenna has been teaching watercolor for the past 6 years at many wonderful locations such as Bellevue College, South Seattle Community College and Daniel Smith in Seattle (current).

Emily Juarez BUSINESS-HOURS ONLY, 12-5pm Tuesday-Sunday
Art for the Tender
Since my artistic pursuit began, I was granted a handful of opportunities to display my work. My first took place in my late teens with my exploration of photography in the First Friday Wine and Dine in Missoula, Montana. I devoured all the classes I could during my senior year of high school. From there, I moved to Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon, displaying pieces at the Snocum House and Pacific Northwest College of Art respectively. In recent years, I’ve been participating in West Seattle Art Walks, and am currently displaying a collection of my works at Caffe Fiore in West Seattle. Further experiences include commissioned pieces, tattoo designs and logos for local small businesses.
In creating my pieces it is my goal to convey compassion and growth through tenderness. I am constantly inspired by nature and its connection to the human form. I’ve visited many mediums beginning with charcoals and graphite, and then moving on to acrylic, watercolor, and ink. In the past year, I’ve dived into more manual works such as linocuts and stamps. Recently I’ve returned with new knowledge and experience to the crisp allure of ink drawing, combining simple images with complex textures in each piece.

K Lobdell INDOORS+RECEPTION, 4pm-8pm
K Lobdell has created a new collection of abstract paintings exclusively for the WEND Jewelry showroom in West Seattle. Lobdell’s paintings develop organically using a layered process of color, cold wax, and oil paints leading to textured and ethereal works. The show will be available to view starting this Thursday, May 5 through July 3, and during the West Seattle Art Walk on May 13.
A note from Wendy Woldenberg, founder of WEND: K Lobdell’s exquisite mastery of color, cold wax, oil paints, layering, and texture comes through brilliantly in her ethereal work. K and I taught art together at Auburn Riverside (she, mostly 2-Dimensional and me, mostly Jewelry Design) for several years. She is an extraordinary teacher, and has so many other super powers, too. She pivoted to become a full-time working artist during the zoom teaching revolution, and we are honored to host the creative output of her energies.

Mystery Made presents the photography of Lance Mercer
Lance Mercer, born and raised in Seattle, started photographing at 13. Through his involvement with the local music scene in Seattle, Washington specifically portraits of the late Andrew Wood, Malfunkshun, and Mother Love Bone, he was invited to tour with Pearl Jam (1991-95) as their official photographer. This endeavor quickly established him as a sought-after photographer for a host of other well-known bands including Alice In Chains, Beck, and The Presidents of the United States to name a few. Other music clients then followed including projects for: Epic, Columbia, Capitol, Warner Brothers, Geffen, A&M, Sony, Microsoft, Redbull, VH1, MTV. Lance’s work quickly appeared in publications like: Rolling Stone, Spin, Time, Vanity Fair, and Alternative Press among others.
In 1997, he collaborated on a retrospective book of Pearl Jam photographs called Place/Date, with Seattle photographer Charles Peterson. In 2007, 5X1 Pearl Jam Through the Eye of Lance Mercer was published, further chronicling Lance’s experiences with the early 90’s grunge rock era.
Presently, Lance continues to create striking photographic work with a special focus on documentary, editorial, commercial, and music photography. A West Seattle local – we’re honored to showcase some of his work.
SPECIAL FOR ART WALK!! Lance will be selling hand-signed / framed photographs. These are striking black and white images that look killer in any room, on any wall, office, vinyl room, or man cave. Support your local artists. Support is huge!!! These are images you can’t buy anywhere else..just here at Mystery Made. All proceeds from photo sales going directly to the artist.

I am a 16-year-old acrylic on canvas painter merging realism with my imagination and using bright colors that pop.

This is my second month in the West Seattle Art Walk, and I am so excited to be at Verity! The exterior sliding doors will open up completely to California Ave, which makes it perfect to wander in and look at some art! I have a wide range of pieces from big to small that will be showing, so stop by to see them all.

LCP (Lester C. Pearson) INDOORS + RECEPTION, 5- 8:30pm
Just Like Music Series
Artist Bio: LCP (Lester C. Pearson) was born and raised in South Seattle, WA. Studied Visual Arts at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME. He paints things that inspire him in the world: shoes, people, food, and much more. He calls his painting style Abstract Gradient. You can find LCP posting to his social media accounts regularly.
Show Statement: These are some of my favorite musical artists who have inspired me and have also got me into some trouble for having their CD at an early age (from my mom lol). I wanted to paint my appreciation for their musical excellence and words of wisdom they have expressed. Their words and beats through music can inspire anyone. Music is essential to my life and I am pretty sure most others life too. I love to listen to music when I paint, mediate, stay busy, relax and hang out with family and friends. Below I have a short statement about each musical artist and why I painted them.

You are invited to come view a phenomenal new exhibit by two accomplished Washington Artists. West Seattle ceramic artist Garrison Coverdale will be showing alongside Whidbey Island fiber artist Zia Gipson for a month long exhibit entitled ‘Clay, Paper, Scissors’.

‘Clay, Paper, Scissors’ will be on exhibition during the entire month of May at Brace Point Pottery (4208 SW 100th Street) and viewing hours will be each Saturday in May from 12-5pm and by appointment. Diane Venti will be ‘minding the shop’ for the month, so stop by to say hello and learn about these two highly skilled artists & their art forms.
In addition to our featured exhibition, each Saturday we will host a different local artist/artisan. So, you can stop by every Saturday in May and see something new. We are of course still observing social distancing and wearing masks, and ask our guests to do the same.
Call Diane at 206.295-5115 to schedule your private viewing or just stop by any Saturday to see the show. You will be glad that you did!
