Painter Casey Brookbush is mainly known as a musician in the Northwest arts scene, playing six years as the drummer for rock band “The Oswald Effect.“ Two years ago he left the band to vigorously pursue his own painting career. His subject matter? Musicians and other celebrities.  Brookbush says, “Having been a part of the music scene for years, painting is another way to share my connection to and love for music. It’s essentially therapy. I come home, crank up the rock and pull out my brushes.”
Live music by Pearl Django Trio, and mobile food truck Fusion On the Run will be serving Hawaiian-inspired fare in the parking lot.  Wine for $5/glass (or 5/$20).  This is a great place to start your evening and then work your way around to the other galleries!

This series of paintings deals with the universal human condition of aging.  From expressions of wonder on a newborn's face to those sculpted into the face of an old man, the landmarks of the past and the expressions of the unknown future are remarkably displayed in our faces.  Kate Tesch is a self-taught artist who lives, plays and paints in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle.

Longley has utilized various art mediums as an emotional outlet including ceramics, candle making, oil and acrylic painting and most recently encaustic painting. Layers of pigmented wax deliver color in a way no other medium can, for as light passes through those layers and is redirected back up to the surface, the painting is actually illuminated from within.

Emily Alice Peck’s work is encaustic art, using wax, heat, and pigment.  She tells us that she started developing her technique almost 3 years ago:    “The canvas built of wood, using plaster/fresco base, color oil pastels, acrylic, oil, milk and clay paints.  The lines are etched, and finished with layers of wax.”  For Emily “the hands are connected to the heart".

Malik has hiked the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, Shenendoah National Park, The Grand Canyon and throughout the Pacific Northwest with his large format film camera. His rich images are the payoff for carrying as much as 60 lbs. of gear up the side of a mountain; they reflect both the majesty and the intricacy that he loves about the natural world. Rakesh is part of the National Forest Committee, working to protect the ancient forests that give the Evergreen State its name.

"I have always made art. My eyes and my heart have always been excited by the ability to create something out of nothing. I weave with yard waste, or gathered materials. I spend many hours LOOKING at things entranced by how one takes a three dimensional object, puts it on two dimensional paper to make it look three dimensional. That thrills me."  ArtFX Gallery is pleased to show the results of her creative wanderings!
Regular hours: Thursday to Sunday, 12-5pm
Phone: 206.545.7459





3510 Fremont Place N 
Drie Chapek uses brush work, texture and color as codes to convey inner self portraits. Her surfaces are poured on; built up and torn down-aggressive textured layers in one moment become gently coaxed brush strokes the next.  The work is intended to be experienced as an installation on canvas, a raw painting left open to be completed by the viewing experience.

Special treat:  Blue Sky Soda
will distribute FREE beverages from their 1965 VW van parked outside the store!
  And as always, Free jewelry inspection/cleaning while you enjoy art & refreshments!
