Preston Graves INDOORS AND RECEPTION 5pm – 8pm
I grew up in Tempe, Arizona and lived there for twenty years. A lot of my knowledge about drawing came from my grandma Betty when I was a kid. Formally, I learned to draw at Mesa Community College before going to school and earning a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I received a MFA from the University of Oregon in Eugene in 2005 and currently live and work in Seattle. I am a volunteer beach naturalist for the Seattle Aquarium and I am a scuba diver. I love exploring the cold emerald waters of the Salish Sea. My work is informed by the biological curiosities I encounter while searching the intertidal zones and old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Passages of pattern and growth habits of nudibranchs and lichens become the vocabulary I dwell on in creating these landscapes. I’m interested in the abstract relationships of a system where mark is form and resulting spaces are unfamiliar walks through unexplored terrains.

T.Frick INDOOR SHOW+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
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 or floral visions.
T. will tell you she dreams in trees. They just seem to end up on the canvas! No painting is ever planned. She begins with freedom of expression and movement, mark-making with no preset destination. After multiple sessions, a painting will eventually 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!

Matthew D Hoover ARTIST OPEN STUDIO 5pm-8pm
Matthew D. Hoover first emerged in the 1980’s as a photographer earning recognition through showings such as NW International Exhibition of Photography, Exposure Gallery of Photography, the Bellevue Art Fair and the Bellevue Art Museum. A series of 40 paintings were created during this period with all ending up in private collections. There was also a small set of note cards once distributed locally. Photography was the primary creative mainstay until 2018 when more time could be dedicated towards painting once again. A small set of acrylic paintings were created during the Covid shutdown of 2020 although oils are the medium of choice. Subject matter is heavily influenced as a Pacific Northwest native with travels through Italy & France. Landscapes are formed through a distinctive pointillism style creating textured layers with rich colors. With a multitude of layered oils, it is not uncommon for a single piece to take months to complete with beautiful scenery through a potpourri of color. This very refreshing impressionistic work is worthy of gallery, business or home environments. See a full portfolio and bio at //www.MatthewDHoover.com
A big supporter of local small businesses and charitable causes, Matthew D. Hoover will occasionally offer art donations to charitable events for fund raising purposes.

Happiness Lost and Found
Artist Statement:
My works are a series of maps filled with pockets of love and loss in our lives. Happiness comes and goes during times of loss, grief, mental health struggles, and life transitions. Each piece and title recorded past thoughts and reflections.
In the uncomfortable spaces, these repetitive marks represent growth (steps) and grief (tears). Life is full of chapters closing, opening, and re-opening. We go through the white spaces of reflection and the dynamic path of the growing pains. With a variety of color, movement, and emotion I lay out our stories. But not everyone gets to hear these stories. I encourage viewers to step close and away from the works. From a distance the works almost become invisible. From afar, everyone’s life looks almost perfect. In reality, we are all struggling in silence.
I want to create a comforting feeling that you are not alone. I hope that one day we will come out of the fog. We will love a little harder and feel the grief a little less. We will continue moving on to the next unwritten chapter in search of happiness.
I am honored and humbled to have my first solo exhibition here at Arts West. I hope you find a moment of comfort and joy with this show!

Lindsay Bassett INDOOR SHOW 5pm-7pm
Canna West Culture Shop is pleased to present West Seattle artist Lindsey Bassett for the July West Seattle Art Walk. For July, the Canna family of businesses is expanding our Art Walk experience by incorporating displays at our sister store, Canna West Seattle, across California Avenue at 5440 California Avenue (21+ only). Please visit both locations to get a full picture of Ms. Bassett’s works.
Artist Lindsey Bassett is a transplant from Chicago to West Seattle. She’ll work with any paint she can get her hands & brushes on, but oil paint holds a special place in her soul (with the proper ventilation, of course) because it allows her to be the most expressive. Lindsey is drawn to the spirit of flowers & figures, and often finds herself revisiting their themes in her artwork. Many of Lindsey’s paintings focus on facial features or sections of the human body, usually elevated by surface texture and non-traditional uses of color. She tends to use bright or vivid colors in skin tones to convey the underlying emotions of a subject. Color and texture are important tools Lindsey uses to engage and communicate with her audience. For her, color has a lot to do with emotion, and with what’s left over on the pallet. Continuity & interconnectivity are common themes throughout her body of work, and she often works in series; reusing leftover paint from some paintings as the starting colors in others. Flowers and foliage also appear frequently in her paintings as a nod to human fragility & emotion, cycles of growth, and the interconnectivity of life. The addition of plants alongside human bodies creates a commentary on gender and societal expectations. Lindsey’s work often challenges social constructs and perceptions, particularly surrounding femininity. The compositions that feature close-ups of a human body keep the subject anonymous, drawing specific focus to features of their face or body part. While viewers may interpret the images as personally or as impersonally as they choose, it remains an intimate & emotional exchange between artist and viewer. This is her favorite part about sharing her art with the world. She hopes viewers can recognize themselves in her work and find comfort & connection in the complex emotions that make us human.

“My latest body of work explores the intentional disintegration and abstraction of a still life scene, eliciting a feeling of beginning a profound sense of nourishment and newness. The warm cradle of a burgeoning kaleidoscopic natural environment evokes calm but reminds the viewer of times rapidity and the constant annihilation cycle of the natural world. WE see the energy of the paint as moving object and hold onto it for a moment before the decay.” – Liz Moody

Priyanka Parmanand INDOOR SHOW 5:30pm-8pm
Priyanka Parmanand is an artist with Women Painters of Washington Gallery, located in the Columbia Tower. She has over a decade of professional art experience including participating in and curating exhibits, public art projects, murals, and corporate paint events. She is also the founder of Crimson Canvas Arts, a company that mentors budding artists and is present in more than ten schools on the Eastside. She has recently been featured in the Seattle Times and in PublicDisplay.ART, a One Reel publication showcasing local artists. Of her work, Priyanka says: The complexity and boldness of abstract art has always spoken to me. My work is a blend of expressionism and impressionism. I work with acrylic paints with texture and surface being an important aspect of my work. I work in a simple and spontaneous way with palette knives, moving back and forth loosely across the painting surface. I use vibrant colors that push and pull each other to completion. I paint florals because they reinvigorate Hope, the fundamental belief for human existence. It is an expression of all that is different while unifying this diversity through a common denominator of human feelings. Plus, they are comforting, healing and bring smiles.

Rodolfo Rios Garza INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-9pm
I am mostly self-taught but early on benefitted from the mentoring of the late renowned Southwest artist Mel Casas, and from Peruvian artist, Francisco Grippa. I get my inspiration from my surroundings, both natural and man-made, photographs, music and from images in my dreams.
This exhibit focuses on trees. Trees are such an endless source of inspiration for me. Trees speak to me in many ways. In them I see energy, love, sadness, and so much more. Their texture lends itself to detailed expression while their limbs can denote a range of moods and resurrect memories.
As is my practice, I also include new pieces outside of the show’s main theme as a means of hinting at where my mind wonders and where that wondering might lead me creatively.
Theme of the show is “Trees”, with original acrylic paintings and a few prints on canvas.

About the Artists Please note: artists will not be present as exhibit is business hours only.
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.
