West Seattle Art Walk Thursday, October 13 from 5-8pm (Check venues for specific times)
Arachnophobes and those of tender dispositions beware! The Art Walk will be teeming with all sorts of creepy crawlies this month! Look for the large arachnids suspended (menacingly) from the entries to all our participating art show venues. Also, make sure to drop by our wonderful sponsoring eateries for magic potions to drink or enchanting victuals to consume to ‘finish’ the evening. The Art Walk this month will be on Thursday, October 13 from 5-8pm (check venues for specific times).
Art will be on display at 36 participating businesses and you can enjoy a wide variety of “Art Walk Specials” at 15 bars, restaurants and cafes (Check out our Facebook post for more info). So grab a Walking Map at any of the participating businesses below to plan your route!

Preston Graves INDOORS AND RECEPTION 5pm – 8pm
Born Springfield, IL Lives in Seattle, WA
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.

Megan Prince INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm – 8pm
Communities Statement
Now is the time. Togetherness. Love. Community. Solidarity. Courage. Hope. Ignore the lies and find the hope. With the works on paper, Communities, Prince explores aloneness, solidarity and togetherness. In Communities, the artist plots soft graphite stars on the mixed media works behind organic black forms in oil pastel, signifying our immediate people groups, and semi-circles of blue gouache, representing our earth. Each element points to levels of togetherness; we are not only in community with each other, but connected across our world and in the larger universe too. During the early works in this series the artist intuitively placed the stars but as this series developed Prince was compelled to use real stars. For the later works Prince used a star app on her smart phone to take pictures of the current constellations overhead, which she then hand-plotted on to the paper, documenting the current time. Relationships compel interdisciplinary abstract artist Megan Prince to create; relationships between people, to belongings, and to the earth. We are all tied together by relationship. Prince’s work points to the similarities we all share and the intrinsic desire we have of being together. “Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth. This is the real message of love.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Megan Prince Bio
Megan Prince interweaves advocacy and the zero waste movement in her interdisciplinary visual arts practice, exploring the nature of relationships between hope, love, and fear in the ever-changing world. In 2002 Prince received two BFAs at UW in Painting and Interdisciplinary Visual Arts, and a minor in Dance. Moving to Brooklyn, NY she received an MFA from Brooklyn College, CUNY in 2008, where she later taught while maintaining a studio fellowship with the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. After having three children in close succession, Prince embraced parenthood full-time, moved back to Seattle, delving into advocacy work and social and environmental justice. Influenced by this outward focus, Prince’s art practice has pivoted to reflect how relationships exist in the world, creating art that is invitational and accessible. This summer 2022 Prince created a large site-specific installation Spinning Lines, and developed a supporting durational performance Ruts of Repetition, for Howl with Forest for the Trees at Rallspur in Pioneer Square. Howl, curated by Lele Barnett and Amanda Manitach, received several write-ups including in the Seattle Times. This year Prince has enjoyed two solo exhibition Jean Bodies and Friends at Mini Mart City Park (Georgetown), and Great Mysterious Heart at the Kirkland Arts Center (Kirkland). The artist has received several awards, fellowships and honors, most recently the People’s Choice Award for the group exhibition Interdependence. Prince has enjoyed several successful commissions and the majority of her work is held in private collections internationally. Currently you can find Prince’s works here at Molly’s Bottle Shop (West Seattle), as well as in the group show Carbon at The Vestibule (Ballard) where one of Prince’s Jean Bodies sculptures is featured through October 18. Prince lives with her husband and three young children while sustaining her home studio practice here in West Seattle.

Meryl Sidikman INDOORS SHOW + RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
Meryl Sidikman is a Seattle based mixed media artist. Meryl is grateful to finally be creating full time after a career as a corporate insurance claims attorney that paid the bills but lacked color, fun and inspiration. Meryl’s works combine traditionally beautiful subjects such as flowers and landscapes with elements not usually viewed as beautiful such as bats and spiders. Bats and spiders are symbols for rebirth, change, power and creativity. These creatures also perhaps reflect some of the darkness she saw in her legal career. Meryl’s process involves painting a complete painting and then obscuring it with spray paint and acrylics and oil. She lets just a peek of the original work come through, thus demonstrating the courage to start over and pursue a new path. Meryl’s works can sometimes veer toward completely abstract and this is a track she may explore. Meryl received her Juris Doctor from Rutgers and a degree in graphic design from Montgomery College. More recently Meryl has studied at Gage Academy and completed the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program. Meryl’s work has been shown at Gage Academy where she received Second Prize in the 2020 juried student exhibition. Meryl has also shown her work at A/NT Gallery as well as local venues in White Center and West Seattle. Meryl lives in Seattle with her husband Mark and her two pugs, Dante and Coal.

John’s palette is whatever is close by. The subjects are skateboarding tigers, tofu, disaffected cafe dwellers, the chilly masses at the market, houseplants etc. Like life, his art can be ridiculous, melancholy, psychedelic, whimsical and repetitive… And fraught with themes of prescriptions to be picked up, playdates to schedule, therapists to meet. Take a look around, you’ll get it. He also loves hanging out with his wife and two kids and making pizza.

Marie Skoor INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
The Private Collection of Sir Winston Mumford Johansson III
Verity Credit Union welcomes Seattle artist Marie Skoor who is presenting drawings that represent an imagined collection of a turn-of-the century explorer, adventurer and amateur paleontologist: Sir Winston Mumford Johansson lll. The charcoal drawings have been done on heavily textured board, canvases, and panels to give an overall effect of the fossil subjects having been chiseled out of stone. The stark drawings are balanced with canvases painted in pastel hues. The charcoal drawings are a contrast from the artist’s usual use of a bright color palette using acrylic paints. The storytelling that accompanies the drawings are archival “item cards,” meant to invoke an air of whimsy, returning us to the curio collections and oddities found in museums at the turn of the century. Marie Skoor holds an AAS Degree in Advertising from Seattle Central College and a BA in Fine Art from The Evergreen State College. She has called West Seattle home for the last 12 years with her family. You can follow the artist on Instagram at @marietheartist10 and on Facebook at /SkoorStudio. She can be contacted via email at marietheartist@yahoo.com.

Along with the beautiful body of work from Vanessa Lanza, you can still enjoy the the brilliance of Melissa Misoda’s breathtaking blown glass pieces.
Vanessa Lanza
Vanessa’s artistic process involves using natural elements and locally foraged objects in her work, so that nature is not only the subject of a piece, it also plays an integral role in the creation of it. As a printmaker, this is particularly exciting because there is a direct storytelling aspect to it, as she allows natural elements and processes to shape the outcome of a piece. Vanessa’s hope is that her art will inspire all to join her in honoring, treasuring and protecting our region’s most precious natural resources.

Stacey Sterling INDOORS+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
Fabrics for Life
Painting about the Ocean is my passion. Teaching about the problems in the environment through art is my mission. You can often see me painting outdoors either at the beach or at community events. My latest project was painting a 4’x8’ mural with the community at the West Seattle Summer Festival. Until now I have not talked much publicly about my Breast Cancer journey. I didn’t want this diagnosis to define who I am. I am a painter, mother, friend, and family member and I am also a cancer survivor. Since I have been asked to participate at the Discovery Shop, I have taken the opportunity to say; cancer sucks! but, you are not alone. No one should be alone on this journey. I gained knowledge and strength through close contacts and strangers. There are many organizations and people with experience that can make the scary diagnosis palatable. One great resource is The American Cancer Society which has invested in cancer research since 1946. It makes sense to give to an organization that does so much to help cancer patients. For this one night only show, I will be donating a percentage of proceeds to The American Cancer Society. You will have the opportunity to see my latest wearable/frameable fabric Art and have profits from your purchase go to a good cause.

The Shifter Scrolls: Inked Hiking
These works are from an ongoing series I call the “Shifter Scrolls” (my nickname is Shifter). The concept for this comes in part from my fascination with long linear Chinese, Japanese, and Indian scrolls that tell tales from the important to the mundane. These longer drawings are based on 8 days of hiking in Glacier National Park in 2021. The 30 foot drawing is a depiction of this journey in linear time, from day 1 to day 8. The other 25 foot work is a assemblage of drawings from the same adventure. The diptychs are a collection of work from hiking in the Mt. Baker area a couple weeks ago. They combine photography of the location alongside an ink drawing of said location. This series is a physical manifestation of the emotions and feelings experienced from being in nature, in exercerting energy and becoming weary and high on endorphins on my hiking journeys. The ability to become one with nature, to cease to exist, to feel that the world is limitless, and that existence is infinite. The act of making art equally transits my existence to another plane. It’s sort of some out of body experience. I’m fascinated at the interior depths you can wander in while in the mountains and the forest. I’m equally intrigued by the depths you can travel to within yourself while creating art. This work happily combines the two. Both the drawing and the hiking at times produce an incredible feeling of possibility. CONTACT: nickshiflet@gmail.com

Please note: Artist is not able to attend.
In our time, the inundation of digital images is extraordinary. Yet perhaps surprisingly, people remain captivated by works using traditional media, such as painting and sculpture, and continue crowding museums to experience their marvelous power. Painting, for me, transforms that which it seeks to captivate, thereby promising to bring a new experience to the viewer, even inviting participation. I like to hope that this process, and what I bring forth through working it out, will hook the eye and engage the psyche. I feel extremely fortunate to engage in this transformation, whether painting from life, from photos, or from pure imagination, across an undulating range of subjects.

Liz Moody INDOOR SHOW+RECEPTION, 5pm-8pm
“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
Seattle based artist, Liz Moody, has been honing her skills in painting for over 20 years. Originally a Minnesota native, she’s made the Pacific Northwest her home since 2007. You can usually find her riding her bike all over the city or doing doing sun salutations at roof top yoga. Although she loves the outdoors; camping and all things nature, her favorite weekend activity is antique shopping and thrift-store “picking” for her vintage clothing business (@babydeervintage).

Evan Schoenfeld INDOOR SHOW 5:30pm-8pm
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.

Kevin Ducoing INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
Lately, my work has been focusing on the trees in our neighborhood, and how trees –even a single tree– transforms a neighborhood into something quite different. Urban trees buffer mechanical noise, make shade and homes for a wide variety of animals, and interact with wind to make almost imperceptible sounds that are conducive to comfort and introspective thought. Attempting to capture this aesthetic in my art is a continuing adventure. I invite you to enjoy my work!

About the Artist Please note: artist 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.
