Sandy Dymale INDOORS+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm Bloom Like A Flower
I’m a Seattle native and currently live in West Seattle with my husband, Steve. I’ve always wanted to paint but found so many reasons not to begin—mostly fear and lack of time. Since photography seemed to fit into the constraints of family and career, that’s what I focused on for much of my life, beginning in childhood and inspired by my dad, who took thousands of photos during his life.
I finally began to paint in 2017, after retiring from my career as a landscape architect and with encouragement from my daughter. I am drawn to paint scenes that include people or captured moments that are meaningful to me. I love the way light plays on surfaces, fabric and skin. I’m moved by the photos in my dad’s treasured collection from across more than a century, including moments from his childhood and mine, and am inspired by the careful compositions made with film cameras.
As a new painter my style and what I want to express is still evolving, but so far most of my paintings have some connection to my personal story.

Alex Trapp INDOORS+RECEPTION, 12pm-8pm
Mt. Rainier and the Valley Below
Alex Trapp is an award winning and published Contemporary American Impressionist painter. As a longtime resident of Seattle, WA, Alex spends many of the wet months painting in his studio bringing to life memories of the seasons before. “I use plein air studies I create in the field to remind me of a time and place from the seasons before. I work to bring those feelings back to life in the studio in order to offer the viewer a visual poem.”
During the dry season Alex can be found painting the landscape En Plein Air in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. “I paint anything that I find of interest, but mostly I’m inspired by nature. I appreciate the context of learning from it. The challenges that come with painting En Plein Air are complex, to say the least, but I like that. It’s an endless love of learning.”
As a self-taught artist, Alex looks to the history books, paintings, and writings of impressionist masters like Edgar Payne, Sergei Bongart, and Claude Monet. “I’m influenced by a number of American, Russian, and French Impressionists. My personal intent in landscape painting is to stay true to the harmony of nature as I see it while at the same time, attempting to achieve a visual melody for the viewer to experience through design, light and color.

Our October guest artist Reeve Washburn is a native Manhattanite, fantastic coordinator of the @wsartwalk, and an emerging fine artist out of a career in graphics and brand design.
“I like structure. I’m good with order and great with routines. It grounds me and is calming. When I started painting, it was scary to be loose and free with my technique, even though I wanted to be in that visual space. The more I explore, the more I understand the duality of my expression, and embrace the contrasts. I’m learning that structure can hold us up, versus hold us in.” – Reeve Washburn

Sam King INDOORS+RECEPTION 5-8pm
Growing up in Seattle, I was surrounded by beautiful diverse artist who influenced me to create exceptional artworks in various styles. My art is flights of fantasy and snapshots of reality, moments of exhilaration and evenings of gloom. As an artist, I have struggled to “speak” with my art, and I realized later, as I was working with my own chosen theme of harshness and void, that art comes to me as a form of expression and a form of exploration. My paintings are just at the intersection of realism and abstraction filled with color and vibrancy. Visual art gives voice to my emotions, my fears, my wildest wishes and my aspirations. Some artist like to make viewers think. I prefer to make viewers feel. Different mediums allow me to express different ideas.

Local mixed media artist Linda McClamrock presents more than a dozen original works, all created lovingly from paper.
Linda is a collage/mixed media artist, using primarily upcycled printed papers. She also incorporates vintage music, old books, discarded sewing patterns, and whatever else she finds.
Linda does not have a traditional art background, discovering her talent for collage only in her 50’s. She started making collages on a whim one summer and found she could not stop. Her technique is unusual, as she does not draw. She sees the piece in her head and starts looking for the right colors/textures to bring her creation to life. Then she picks up her trusty scissors and starts cutting!

Artist Statement
Born and raised in Copenhagen city (Denmark) where I have done some local exhibits at “Kulturhuse” as a young Artist and later on in 2012. I studied graphic design specialized in Classic Arts in Venice (Italy) were I have made small local exhibits (Biennale, Mestre city hall), in Bologna (Cassero, SalaBorsa), Padua (Altinante) and other small venues around Italy. I move to San Francisco in 2014 whjere I have done local exhibits as well as in Seattle where I currently reside. Acrylics on Canvas is my media with 3 styles, human dreams, Peeled panels (my signature style that is all about geometry combined with natural movement giving a feeling of peeled panels) and Black & White illusionistic patterns. I won the 30th Annual Shoreline Arts Festival Juried Art Award “1st Place” multiple pieces exhibited, part of the “Celebration of Art 2020 – an all media show” exhibit at Marin Society of Artists (CA), part of the “2020 POLITICAL DISCORD exhibition” exhibit at Las Laguna Gallery (CA), part of the “Humanity” exhibit at Cultural Center of Cape Code (MA) and for the exhibit “Politically Charged” at Blue Line Arts (CA) and part of the “ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ | A Global Art Project” exhibit at Dab Art Co.

Pamela Ware INDOORS + RECEPTION, 5PM-7PM
Please note: Artist is not able to attend.
Artist Statement
As a budding artist I have, for a couple of years now, been exploring the world of acrylic pour painting. It’s a technique used to create paintings with natural flowing patterns. The effect is created by combining acrylic paint with a liquid medium such as Floetrol. This mixture is then poured onto a canvas and spread around by means of tilting or swiping the paints. There are endless ways to explore the process. Sand or glitter can be added to the canvas when it’s drying to create texture. I can incorporate other media onto a finished pour or use the pour as a backdrop for other painting images, as I did with Buffalo and Octopus.
I love the freedom of not knowing what will unfold…watching the shapes and faces appear and how the colors blend in a way I could never anticipate.
Please contact Jan at West Seattle Cellars for purchase details.

Jessie Summa Russo INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-9pm
This quarter, Viscon Cellars is hosting returning artist Jessie Summa Russo from October through December. Jessie studied art and illustration at Sarah Lawrence in New York and Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and has called West Seattle home for the past two decades.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My recent work is inspired by my life as a musician as well as the lives of my relatives. My grandfather was an Abstract Expressionist painter in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, and I feel like his paintings both defined him and I understood him through them. My mother went to art school when I was a toddler; some of my earliest memories are of the printmaking studio with giant black press wheels taller than people.
When making art, I don’t think about anything, and that is the primary joy of the process. It feels like a pure meditation on visual interest and the nature of time (there was nothing, and now there is art), and a simultaneous, unfettered expression of that meditation.
I use coffee filters, candy wrappers, vintage record sleeves, yellowed sheet music, and fragments from my Grandma’s scrapbooks. (She kept everything.) I cover and reveal elements with paint until the effect reminds me of a wall plastered with posters and graffiti that have worn away over time. I like to bring a hint of goofiness to a beautiful, textured aesthetic, and campy ‘50s ephemera is perfect for that.
I’m drawn to art with texture for its mystery—how can it be beautiful as it reminds us of entropy and death? How will I view this work as I change with time? For example, I’ve begun using my 25-year-old etchings in collages, and by ‘using’ I mean ripping out bits and gluing them into new worlds, sometimes even painting over them completely—transforming the fraught past into a hopeful future with new meaning.
I want to deliver room transformation to friends and strangers that they enjoy as much as I enjoy my own collection. I want them to look at the work and see something new every time.

Artist Statement
I took art all throughout school. However, like most people, once school was over I took to adulting… never believing that art would be a lucrative enough industry for me to create a career. Now, at 40 years old, I’ve come full circle and realized the passion I had for this fluid art form. These past few years has been a struggle for many people. I just want to bring some beauty back into the world.
