Most of you know, that Arts Walk and the Procession of the Species Parade fall the weekend after Earth Day. We think that our lineup of artists exemplifies their love & concern for our environment, through their commitment to their work.
Cal Capener‘s extensive traveling throughout the Pacific Northwest is apparent in his latest grouping of oil paintings – from the golden banks of the Yakima River, to our own locally beloved, Billy Frank Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. There is a noticeably different style, but familiarity of landscape, in the oils of Carla Paine‘s “Twin Barns” and “Nisqually Basin,” but is exhibiting her lovely figurative and still life work as well. Many of our native bird species, including our state bird, the Goldfinch, and their characteristics come to life in the sweet and precise, little bird acrylic and pencil paintings on wood, by Kristen Etmund. The carved and colored birds in the “wood paintings” from Sara Gettys, have a personality all of their own, including an owl that appears to be looking directly into your thoughts. Birds appear yet again, perched upon the tops of planets and tips of tails on Babette Harvey’s sculptures, reminding us of the delicate, yet attainable balance between the earth and all of it’s inhabitants.
We hope you can join us in celebration of our kinship with The Earth this Friday 5pm – 10pm & Saturday 12pm – 8pm. There will be live music from Pat Cole & Jamie Jenson 6-9 on Friday & piano by Ann Finn from 2-4 on Saturday.
