West Seattle Grounds

2141 California Ave SW

Matthew D Hoover INDOORS SHOW & RECEPTION 4pm-7pm

Matthew D Hoover is a PNW native pulling inspiration from travel and the outdoors.  Often described as an influenced impressionist of the 1800’s, admirers often call out the intricate layers of colors overlapping each other when viewing the details.  Uniquely styled, colors are frequently mixed on the canvas while work is in progress, rather than premixing on a pallet resulting in rich, textured compositions.

Charlie Piper and Sarah Geissler INDOORS SHOW & RECEPTION 5pm-7pm

Charlie Piper: Charlie returned to West Seattle after earning degrees in Studio Art and Art History from the University of Vermont. Over the years, he has established a unique style that highlights both realistic natural elements and imaginative design which he translates through his acrylic paintings as well as into his work as a tattoo artist.

Sarah Geissler: As a Vermont native and now West Seattle resident, Sarah has always looked to the nature surrounding her in the beautiful places she’s called home for inspiration. While she explores many mediums including acrylic, ceramics, woodworking, and watercolor, she has always been drawn to working with charcoal due to the depth and detail it can achieve. This collection of pieces captures her love for all things “In & By the Water”, and pays homage to her East Coast upbringing and West Coast home.

Lauren Quist INDOOR SHOW& RECEPTION, 5pm-8pm

Lauren Quist

Lauren Quist is inspired by the challenge of achieving harmony through the interplay of hard and soft mediums, blending the softness of impressionism with the contrast of illustrative art.

Her process begins with a photograph, which she transforms into mixed media paintings on canvas through sketching, painting, and lastly embroidery. By incorporating embroidery, she allows light to dance dynamically over the canvas, exploring how it touches various surfaces and highlighting the contrasts within. Through art, Lauren aims to engage viewers in a deeper exploration of these captured instances, inviting them to share in the beauty and complexity of the world as she sees it. After graduating high school, she attended the University of Washington to study architecture but graduated instead with a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts (IVA). Her first mixed media painting, created for her senior studio, combined oil paints and embroidery floss on canvas. In 2013, she participated in her first professional art show, “”Around the Square,”” where she won the Popular Vote Award. Since then, Lauren has continued to exhibit work in several art shows across the Pacific Northwest.

JETT Landscape Architecture + Design

3445 California Ave SW

Heather Hargesheimer BUSINESS HOUR DISPLAY ONLY Artist cannot attend

My medium is encaustic painting, the ancient technique of manipulating pigmented beeswax on panels. The process involves applying heated beeswax onto rigid surface, such as prepared wood. The colors are achieved from adding pigments to the melted beeswax. The medium’s luminosity and depth have led me through a series of studies of abstract compositions built with strong graphical relationships and layered with rich colors. My work is restrained, yet complex; inspired by nature, but abstracted in its use of forms. Encaustic painting has allowed me a way to open my artwork to a new level of abstraction while still maintaining my connection to the natural world.

Carrie Brazil INDOORS SHOW & RECEPTION 5pm-8pm

Carrie, a proud Seattle native rooted in the vibrant community of West Seattle, has found immense joy in abstract pain. Carrie has always considered herself creative, but didn’t discover her love for abstract painting until experimenting with it again in 2021. In Carrie’s work, you can find echoes of love, connection, family and fun, as well as politics, empathy, grief and nature, in ways both subtle and obvious. “I paint to process, to relax, to celebrate. I paint with emotion, usually without any specific direction. Intuition is my guide. Art is not always comfortable or palatable.  It can challenge our perceptions and deepen our connection to the world around us. This collection of small works represents both peace and stillness, as well as bright playfulness.
While my art holds deep personal significance, my dream is to create pieces that evoke unique meaning to each viewer.” Through her art, Carrie seeks to navigate and make sense of the realities of today’s world, inviting us to join her on this journey.
