Naomi Cox INDOORS+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm

Show name: Favorites

I’m a West Seattle artist using primarily watercolor and pen—loose and full of color. This show is a collection of some of my favorites—from walks, on drives, in the kitchen, and around Seattle—created as a set of art prints. I love it when my paintings brighten someone’s day, show a different perspective, invite a conversation, and help people connect to each other and their surroundings.

Karen Johnson WINDOW SHOW + BUSINESS HOURS ONLY 11am-6pm

I’m fascinated by the transparency of water. This show is entirely focused on sealife, one of my many obsessions, since I often spend my summers living on a boat. Here in Seattle, we’re a coastal community surrounded by water full of amazing things, if you look for them. I hope that by drawing attention to these other forms of life, I can remind people to be aware of this precious resource. My current work is all created on an iPad Pro, mostly just using a finger or two directly on the screen, sometimes using a stylus for detail work. My graphic design background is evident in my art — I thrive on colors, shapes, patterns and textures. Fluid strokes and a sense of movement are the basis for my style.

Notecards of my work will be available. I am also showing at Mailbox West in the Morgan Junction.

Dominic Montello INDOORS 3pm – 10pm

Artist Statement
I am a Seattle-based painter who works primarily in oil paints. In my paintings I attempt to confront and wrestle with the problem of human self-worship in some of the forms it takes. By self-worship I mean our general human tendency to overly and uncritically idealize both ourselves as well as others. We rarely, if ever, scrutinize ourselves in an objective manner. These works explore and expose from different angles—and often with a healthy dose of humor—how we hubristically think of our environments as predictable and orderly, while thinking of ourselves as brave, moral and independent. It’s not about exposing how they contradict each other, but showing how the spiritual and objective planes of thought coexist. “[Man] is locked up in this consciousness, and nature has thrown away the key.”—Nietzsche, On Truth and Lying in an Extra-Moral Sense (1873)

Brian Nordwall INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-8pm

When the Silk Road was Open

I have been a photographer for 55 years. In 1971, I traveled overland to Iran and Afghanistan. Iran closed since the 1978 Islamic Revolution. Afghanistan since the Soviet Invasion of 1980, followed by the Taliban, Al Quaeda, American misadventures and abandonment. I was lucky to have good equipment and to know how to use it at that juncture in history,.

These pictures were shot with a Nikkormat 35 mm and 3 Nikon lenses. The film was developed for by the Miami Herald Phot Department, where I had worked in 1970.
The celluloid was scanned by the Color Group in Seattle to the highest standards. All of the Prints are between 30 and 60 megabites, which is super hi definition.

Each photo is available in a signed limited edition of 25. If you purchase one in a frame, or request a frame, It will use museum glass.

MEET THE ARTIST:

T. Frick Art – paintings
T. Frick is a self-taught artist and female entrepreneur. She is a licensed Landscape Architect with a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Art has always been a key part of T’s life, even as a young child. But it was her training in the architectural field that advanced her drafting, sketching, and painting style. Growing up, T. could be found wandering the backwoods with one of her resident pups or when indoors, she occupied her time with drawing, painting, or other creative hobbies. Her love of nature and the outdoors led to a career in design. When not working, you’ll typically find her creating — colors, shapes, textures, and movement creatively come to mind, manifesting into abstract, typically landscape, visions. T. will tell you she dreams in trees. No painting is ever planned. She begins with freedom of expression and movement, marking making with no preset destination. Sessions in, a painting will begin to reveal itself and navigate towards its intended vision. T. is currently working in oil and cold wax, acrylic, and mixed media in an abstract, expressive style. Her paintings are typically smaller in size with larger works on the horizon. Commissions at any scale are available upon request. Check out T’s website and join her on an artistic journey through her diverse array of artwork!

Erika Bass INDOOR SHOW+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm

Looking, responding, discovering. Art-making for me is the process of creating a visual tapestry of relationships between color, shape, texture and movement. I explore organic forms, piecing them together to build patterns and connections. I am interested in using floral forms layered together to create a sense of community within my compositions. My paintings are inspired by my Seattle coastal environment, with its ever-blooming gardens and natural sea forms. The work is hand-printed from both linoleum and paper collagraph plates onto rag paper. I build layers of colors with inked images, finishing them with gouache, colored pencil and acrylic paint.

Eric Chan BUSINESS HOUR DISPLAY ONLY 3pm-11pm.

Please note: Artist is not able to attend.

My artwork combines ink line drawing and oil painting on unprimed wood surfaces. I paint on off-cut wood because each piece possesses its own distinct composition that offers unanticipated challenges in the process of both drawing and painting. Unlike traditional paper, canvas, or digital space, scrap wood has no standard, blank white default setting. The human body has the same experience as wood, it never exists as a neutral, static object without context. Both are always aged and dynamically aging, rich with unique imperfections, random dimensions, and unexpected varieties of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures

Artist Statement

Seattle born Kate Flückinger works in oils. Her paintings evolve intuitively into abstracted landscapes and figures. She is drawn to organic matter and processes and liminality, an ambiguous state of between. She strives to convey a kind of meaningful chaos, joining the meticulousness of brushwork and color with an uninhibited physicality to develop compositions. Since 2007, Kate has volunteered providing confidential emotional support to women living in prison through a program that was suspended due to the pandemic. For this show, 10% of all sales of her art will directly support programs benefiting the children of incarcerated women.

Karen Johnson

I’m fascinated with exploring the biodiversity of our world. My goal is for my art to serve as a reminder to us all that the world is full of many wonders, and we should share it wisely. My current work is all created on an iPad Pro, mostly just using a finger or two directly on the screen, sometimes using a stylus for detail work. My graphic design background is evident in my art — I thrive on colors, shapes, patterns and textures. Fluid strokes and a sense of movement are the basis for my style.

Calendars and notecards of my work will be available.

Learn more about Karen’s work at her Instagram , Facebook and website.

Glenda Weibel

Glenda is a watercolor artist who has lived in West Seattle for over 20 years. She loves the immediacy and fluidity of watercolor, but has recently been exploring ways to free watercolor paintings from being framed behind glass. Several of the pieces in this show are done on archival tissue paper and mounted on a canvas and finished with varnish. This technique maintains the freshness of watercolor, yet sets it free from glass. She also enjoys using traditional watercolor paper and some of those are also in the show.
