Artist: Patti Bowman
"I like to use many different tools and media in my paintings, including encaustics, oil, acrylic, relief prints, monotypes, silkscreen, leftover latex paint, automotive primer, brushes, a screwdriver, a plumbing torch, razor blades, a heat gun, old drawings, bits of paper, ruined brushes, and used guitar strings to create my suburban-mother/conspiracy-theorist esthetic. I don't know if there is any unifying theme in my paintings other than a feeling of uncertainty."

"Seattle has so much rich texture and diversity. I can't think of another place where the urban landscape and nature come together so harmoniously. Trying to capture that relationship is a constant quest." Live blues rock by The Jelly Rollers (5-9pm), and Dante's Inferno Dogs serving in the parking lot. Wine for $5/glass (or 5/$20).

Venue: Caffe Vita
4301 Fremont Ave. N
Artist: Derrick Jefferies
"My work transforms the banal into the biological through photography and a marriage of domestic materials. My goal is to restore a kind of material nobility to the commonplace object and a re-evaluation of how we 'know' it. The work also exploits the biological and sexual associations we assign to particular forms and colors."

Abbott, Otis Bell, Ingrid Abbott, curators Deborah Bell and Craig van den Bosch. http://www.fremontabbey.org/

"As a child growing up on a small Texas farm, I would spend summers poring over National Geographic, Life, and Look magazines. Today I am fortunate to travel throughout the world meeting people from many different places, such as Iran and the Middle East. At each location I try to capture images that tell a story and provide the viewer with a perspective into others’ lives and provide a sense of wonder about the world."

Venue: Johnston Architects PLLC
100 NE Northlake Way Suite 200 Seattle, WA 98105
Artist: Steve Costie
Costie's minimalistic paintings are largely graphite that is burnished by using increasingly harder grades over softer strokes. This creates a base against which he places various ““elemental”” images--either sharply defined or evanescent/ fuzzy/blurred. "The idea or problem that I am working through is that of early perception in the development of human vision and understanding. The fundamental drama of light and dark and later the introduction of simple shapes –– hard or blurred –– pretty much outline the way we learn to see."
Art Walk Hours: 6-8pm
