Kate Fluckinger INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm – 8pm
through my work…
I strive to convey a kind of meaningful chaos, a place
where meticulousness meets free, uninhibited expression
I love color (obvs)
I am drawn to organic matter, processes, and the unseen
yet I like structures, boundaries, and containment,
sometimes fleeting or illusory
things liminal have been of interest to me for some time
a state that is ambiguous and somewhat hidden
where with subliminal, things are unconscious
liminal is barely perceptible, a state of being in-between
or at a threshold
boundaries between worlds are not always well defined,
liminality speaks to the spaciousness between, sometimes hazy or fuzzy, like transitioning from dreaming to wakefulness
or darkness to light, a place of knowing but not knowing why
I seek to enter / depart / describe these transitional spaces
through abstracted landscapes, flora, fauna, and figures

Emily Juarez INDOORS + RECEPTION, 5-8pm
Art for the Tender
“Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a raindrop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.” -Z.D.
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 selling my work at The Virago Gallery 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 charcoal and graphite, and then moving on to acrylic, watercolor, and ink. In the past year, I’ve dived into more manual work such as linocuts and stamps.

Aaron Benson INDOORS + RECEPTION, 5 – 8pm
Contemporary Fine Art
Husband, father, son, photographer, videographer. Aaron is all of those things and more. He grew up in Renton, Washington, as a youth with the loving passion to create – and the passion still lives on til this day.
Aaron started creating in high school by being allowed to borrow cameras from his high school so that he could create mini movies and take photos with his friends around town. Aaron became serious about his craft in early 2017 to try and make a business out of what he loved to do best and what he is most passionate about.
With photography Aaron has a unique way of stopping time with the click of button on his camera to capture all of those special moments from candid shots, to adding foreground elements for fashion/portrait sessions that help aid in his unique style. Video production allows Aaron to get really creative with his visions, from producing music videos to making online content for small businesses.

Christy’s artwork is an embodiment of her desire to capture life in all its sorrow and joy. By marrying brushwork to photography, her pieces aim to acknowledge the complicated interplay of hardship and hope.

The Pacific Northwest continues to be a singular influence on her development as an artist, as does the unpredictable purity of childhood.

Evan Schoenfeld, INDOORS + RECEPTION, 5PM-7PM
Artist Statement: I was born in Seattle in 1958. By my teens I had acquired some drawing and painting skills through independent study, then neglected visual arts until around 2000. The discovery of alpine scenery in the Cascades had a profound effect. “By Jove,” I said, “Somebody needs to paint these.” Since retiring in 2013 I have spent 40 delightful hours in the atelier a week, completing three oils in an average year. Besides mountain environments, my favorite influences are Leonardo, Vermeer, Odilon Redon. Pet peeves: Global warming.
Please contact Jan at West Seattle Cellars for purchase details.

Debbie Bianchi INDOORS + RECEPTION 6pm-9pm
In this series I have been playing with and exploring the elegance and simple beauty of the magnolia flower. Some Victorian texts state the meaning of the magnolia flower represents the symbols of nobility, perseverance and love of nature. Soft and subtle in color yet strong in appearance, the flower is representative of the beauty encompassing femininity and gentleness.
The flower generally comes in pinks, lavender and whites but I have been exploring the same shapes and planes with bold or just unexpected colors to hint of indulgent daydreams and whimsy. I incorporate my birds to frolic among my fairy tale inspired abstract flora. I include hints to natures indulgences in our natural eco systems and hope to remind my viewers to not take any of natures gifts for granted. Learn more on her website.

Painting in my cozy, eclectic art studio in Seattle, WA since 2017, I enjoy adding unique perspectives to my designs to make each piece truly memorable. I love to explore the disappearing element of empathy through ironically colorful expressions. Let’s start a discussion – email me anytime.
