Featured Artist of the Month: Maude May, studio# 443/445
Maude May has been creating art in one form or another since age three (drawing dog bones on her family’s walls, much to her parents’ dismay). Now with advanced degrees in both photography and textiles, Maude has won industry awards for her graphic design and her art has been featured in various publications.  


Specializing in clever invitations, favors and party ephemera for both private and corporate clients, Maude designs logos and related business collateral. Additionally she works in both fiber and paper collage, utilizing found objects, handmade papers and her own photographs and rubber stamp images.












3409 Woodland Park Ave N.
Artist: Suze Woolf
Woolf is a realist painter, but her message is in the contrast of subject matter, bold execution and a medium not typical for such subjects.  "Our commercial infrastructures — modern gantry cranes, container ships, loading docks, cement plants attended by barges of raw ingredients — are our civilization’s unintentional monuments. It is not typical to explore such subject matter in watercolor. Watercolor has long been the choice of the well-off tourist, portraying a lovely, genteel, above all “nice” world — I strive to demonstrate it as a medium of visual, emotional and intellectual impact."  
Regular hours: Thurs-Fri. 4pm-8:30pm, Sat. Noon-8:30pm, Sun. Noon-5pm
Phone: 206-420-2407

Venue: Caffe Vita

"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."

LaFalce is known for his paintings, drawings and Giclee prints.  "My goal is to show parts of the landscape that are hidden, obscured from our focus, revealing light and beauty in places where one wouldn't think possible. I search for lost images in an archive only my creative conscious can see, and in finding the emotional connection, I find the subject."




420 N. 35th St.
Artist: Melanie Reed
Melanie Reed has always identified with Surrealist art because of its evocative, symbolic and often disturbing language so appropriate for describing the "floating world" between nature's harmony and man's disharmony.  Through the medium of Collage, she has discovered her own way of organizing the chaotic and overwhelming thoughts that often accompany a life out of balance.

"Photography is about being present. When we make an image, like the aperture, we are open and engaging in the now. With nature photography immediacy takes precedent. Whether you’ve waited minutes, hours or days for the shot, this may never happen the same way again. Show up for it with your eyes open or it’s gone."
