Walking Map for April 14 Art Walk!
Featured Q2 Artist! Congratulations to Sonya Rupnick, @sonyaseattle, whose charming, cheeky slice-of-life animal portrait Nice Legs graces the new poster and walking maps. Sonya is represented in West Seattle by Fogue Gallery. See her work in April, May and June, 2022, during business hours and on Second Thursdays.
Some thoughts from Sonya!
“These paintings are little stories from a world where animals live a cozy, rural life, but one which is also sometimes unexpected and surprising. I try to portray them as living real, interesting lives, which we only see a portion of in each vignette. Each one has its own secret backstory. I want you, the viewer, to make up your own stories about them, and I want you to see yourself or people you know in them.”

Jenna Brechbiel INDOORS+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
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 since 2014 and has the privilege of working with many wonderful locations such as Bellevue College, South Seattle Community College , Daniel Smith , the Woman’s University Club (Seattle), Gage Academy and Antioch University.

Carmel Mercado WINDOW SHOW + BUSINESS HOURS ONLY 11am-5pm
Carmel Mercado is a self-taught Seattle-based artist on an unrelenting quest to celebrate life and joy with her community. With her use of bright, bold colors, patterns, speckled backgrounds, and whimsical child-like designs, Carmel aims to evoke happy bemusement, laughter, and a sense of gratitude for the otherwise magically mundane things in one’s day-to-day that create joy. For Carmel, some of those small daily joys include good food and good company (in the form of animal friends), two common themes in her art. Carmel works predominantly with acrylics and mixed media on canvas, but also creates digital children’s illustrations and indoor mural art. She has been a part of several juried shows and gallery exhibits throughout the Boston, Orlando, and Seattle areas and has received art commissions from institutions such as the City of Bellevue. Carmel’s punchy whimsical style has been heavily influenced by her time working with children as a board-certified pediatric ophthalmologist and from her travels around the world learning folk art and visiting wildlife habitats. In particular, Carmel draws a lot of influence from her time living in Japan. Carmel obtained her B.S. in Biology with a humanities concentration in Foreign Languages and Literatures at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her medical degree at the Johns Hopkins University. You can find her quirky ‘Magical Minis’ paintings celebrating the delectably small and cute at Zelda Zonk for the month of April.

Beth Ann Lawson INDOORS+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
I’ve been painting nearly all my life. Well, professionally “arting” anyway. As a young girl, I often accompanied my father into “the city” from the East Bay, helping him lug his many gorgeous, oil painted canvases and heavy easels from the large trunk of his blue Maverick into the colorful atmosphere and characters of the Embarcadero Square. A street artist in San Francisco, my father surrounded himself each and every weekend with authentic working/starving artists and craftsmen. Those years of raw creativity and sacrifice for one’s art left its indelible impression.

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!

Vanessa Ly-Nguyen INDOORS 4pm-7pm. Business hour display only.
Because expressions make the best impressions…Originally a Boston-based architect / artist, I have ventured my way to Seattle to explore what everyone calls the “west coast vibes” in a continuation to indulge in my obsessive passion –illustrating the intriguing puzzles of my mind. Trained with the rigor mindset of one profession yet adapted to the abstract of another has created this fixation of intertwining mechanics and organics as reflected in many of my subject matters; there is always the interest of engaging the rigidity of one element that is typically man-made with the looseness of another that is part of our nature to create a composition where characteristics of both are shared and equalized. With a playful heart in mind, hopefully each piece can compel the viewers to question why?

Kate Wolf– INDOORS SHOW AND RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
Altered Polaroids
I love connections to place and people through art. I stumbled into making altered Polaroid pictures in 1999 in Provincetown, MA. I had a Polaroid 600 and a pair of scissors. I’d snap the shot, cut around the edges of the image, peel off the top layer and interrupt the development. It was as if the picture was transported back in time: the colors remained muted, crackles appeared, and a fiery seal wrapped the border. It was exciting to compose an image but also be able to manipulate it on the spot to accomplish something that really wasn’t within the capabilities of the old Polaroid. Then in 2008, Polaroid folded and stopped making the film. The altered Polaroids literally became sealed in the past. This happened right at the rise of digital filters – which could generate similar effects – and other instant film and cameras which didn’t respond to the guerrilla method with the scissors. It was disappointing, but there was also something poetic about the medium itself becoming something that could not be recreated.

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.

Pam Hemmerling INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-9pm
Becoming an artist later in life and without formal training, I have found that the creative journey surprises and brings joy in unexpected ways. I primarily paint figures, portraits, and abstracts using acrylic paint but rarely start on a smooth canvas. To build up layers and texture I use vintage book paper, fabric, and other ephemera. Living in West Seattle for the past 25 years I continue to be inspired by the ordinary beauty found in each day. Through my art, I hope to touch the viewer in a meaningful way, forming a connection by sharing a compelling narrative of vulnerability and strength.

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.
Laurel Donkervoet
Laurel Donkervoet is a Washington native, born and raised in Puyallup. She moved to Seattle to attend school at Seattle Pacific University seventeen years ago to study apparel design and has been here ever since. She’s lived in West Seattle for the last ten years with her husband and three children where she spends her free time exploring the beautiful world of watercolor painting.
