Izaya Colson INDOORS SHOW + RECEPTION 5pm – 8pm
Visit Lily’s not just for their wonderful cuisine but to see their large wall mural depicting the city of Guazapa where the owner, Lily, grew up. Below is the description of the art murals:
The inspiration for this painting was to replicate a peaceful, small city in El Salvador, called “GUAZAPA”. Lily, owner of “LILY’S SALVADOREAN RESTAURANT”, was raised in Guazapa before moving to USA in 2004 and then to Seattle in 2007. One of the first and most important things to notice is the woman in the lead. She is wearing a blue and white dress to represent the El Salvador flag. In the center of the painting is the lifeline river “RIO GUAZAPA”. A river like this is where Lily’s family would wash clothes and bathe. The yellow flowers in each corner of the painting are the national flower, called “FLOR DE IZOTE”. Unlike flowers which face up, these face down, almost as if they are relaxing. They vary in color from vibrant yellow to soft off white. One the far right, you will see the national bird El Salvador, called “TOROGOZ”. Lily recalls how the birds would sometimes peck at her window, which she found humorous. She felt a friendly connection the the birds, as if they were very aware of each other’s presence.
Look closely at the mountain in the background, you might see the “sleeping lady”. This mountain view is only visible from some angles. When the civil war started in 1979, the fighting was fierce in Suchitoto on the other side of the mountain. Many people fled Suchitoto for the safety of Guazapa.
The painting took ten full days of hard work to realize, from building the frames, painting and installation. Izaya’s intention is for the viewer to feel as if they are stepping into Lily’s world, to experience where she’s from and the things that made her happy. This captures the place where Lily learned about herself and shaped how she relates to the community, family, food, and her culture.

Throughout the pandemic and into the “now-times” I’ve changed much of my artistic style to incorporate the landscapes and beauty of the Pacific Northwest into my already existing abstract flow. Landscapes that focus on the changing coasts, bodies of water and skies, flowers that bring bright color to our long grey months, and contrasting lines and movement. These pieces are my love letter to sunshine, the birds and the bees, and the things that grow all around us.

Megan Carroll is a Canadian born artist, currently living in West Seattle with her husband and two children. This is her artist statement: I am a mixed media artist who makes expressive, abstract paintings and soft sculpture. My work is a reflection of my relationship to color and form, with a focus on the way they interact with each other to create an emotive visual experience.
My artworks are created through a process of mark making, layering and experimentation. The result is a minimalist palette that combines colors and bold marks to express emotion and moods, such as calmness, peacefulness, urgency, or anger. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Fine Arts through Emily Carr University with a focus on invisible domestic labour and gender roles

Colleen Monette INDOORS + RECEPTION 5pm-til late
Colleen Monette is fulfilling a lifelong dream of being a working artist. She was lucky to have several very creative careers: working in visual merchandising and owning her own floral studio and antique shop. Those detours were essential to me being who she is today. Colleen is a salvage artist and an encaustic painter. Her style, her aesthetic, is much like a historian or archaeologist, to preserve what she unearths. She loves the ancient; she swoons over beautiful penmanship. Her work explores her love for this antique ephemera, the beauty and the decay, working to merge together elements that are centuries apart to create a new history.

Cathy Woo INDOOR SHOW+RECEPTION 5pm-8pm
“I have been privileged to work as a professional artist in the Seattle Area for over 25 years. My paintings have been exhibited in shows and galleries both locally and nationally. During that time, I have come to understand that the act of painting is a tool for discovering how to live life to the fullest rather than a method of producing pretty pictures to hang on a wall. The practice of painting is now embedded in my life, just as my life is embedded in my paintings. My recent paintings on Plexiglas have given me the opportunity to explore my interests in the dualistic nature of the universe and the many influences of light as a visual element. I love to experience random systems moving toward structure and then naturally disintegrating again toward confusion. It’s a never ending cycle. I observe the same forces at work as I move through the construction of a painting. Recently I have been contemplating the intentional randomness inherent in Zen thought and contrasted it with the systematic binary structure of computer programming language. This is the basis for my series of paintings called “Zen Dots and Pixels.”

Flora Carlile-Kovacs: Flora Felts Handmade Textiles
My interest in textiles drew me to graduate studies in ethnography, but I felt a deeper passion for creating with fiber than analyzing it. I have learned several traditional fiber arts from the greatest masters in Hungary. When I’ve learned the basics of the felting technique, I realized this is a limitless medium with amazing possibilities. In my work I use the most ancient textile technique, combining carded, unspun wool and silk fibers with water, soap and vigorous kneading to create a durable, unwoven material: felt. I have improved the traditional techniques and invented new ones of my own. Breaking away from making useful objects I am now exploring how handmade felt can become applied art for public spaces. I use several layers of hand-dyed merino wool and silk fibers and fabrics to create optical color blending. I incorporate various materials in the felt to achieve captivating textures and surfaces. I often create raised surfaces so the light refracts on the ruffles of silk and synthetic fabrics. Handmade felt is underestimated and underrepresented in the art world. My mission is to find its audience and to break the boundary between craft and fine art.
