Bev Hill

Blog Manager

Bev moved to West Seattle in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and could only look longingly into storefront and restaurant windows during that time. As a child she lived in Australia, South America, the US Midwest and California. When she was 13 her family settled in Seattle, and she has lived in the Northwest ever since. Trained as an industrial designer, and practiced as an architectural lighting designer, she has long been appreciative of the visual arts. She now makes art in her own studio and can finally visit stores and get to know and enjoy the West Seattle community.

Helen Halpern

Photography Director

Helen is from Philadelphia originally and is now enjoying her home in West Seattle with her husband Steve, toddler Max and dog Nutmeg. She has been a lifelong art lover and traveler and is excited to be a part of the West Seattle Art Walk. She works as an occupational therapist and is always seeking new opportunities to learn and be inspired by art. She enjoys painting, reading, exploring new places and meeting new people, as well as gardening in her new West Seattle backyard.
