"I paint intuitively with pure inspiration. I know that I must put this raw energy, color, or emotion onto the blank canvas. I have total faith that the power which flows through me and onto the stark white emptiness will be full of life and passion and that this piece of Art will energize the space where it will ultimately reside." -Clarke
Wine for $5/glass (or 5/$20).  Live music by Jeff Fielder, and Skillet will be serving their legendary burgers with bacon jam, poutine fries, and more from their airstream trailer in the parking lot.  This is a great place to start your evening and then work your way around to the other galleries!

100 NE Northlake Way, Ste. 200
"Inspiration comes from unlikely sources, a pattern in a worn stone wall, a faded fresco fragment or a section of a chipped tile floor.  I start by carving into soft linoleum, using it as a drawing process, working quickly, accumulating a large library of block patterns.  After printing, I study the vocabulary of lines I’ve made and I pick through the stacks of printed paper, cutting out the parts that I want to use, discarding the rest.  I layer the transparent printed paper shapes onto wood panel using wax as a medium.  Adding and cutting away thin sections, I work to create a composition that is meaningful to me.  I introduce color last, mixing wax and oil, making subtle corrections, blending and changing the values and hues until a piece feels balanced and complete."

The Timesinfinity Gallery holds the first installment of the mANIMAL trilogy. mANIMAL is a new series of work that explores the ‘outlandish’ characters among the human race and in the wild.

The largest of his work, a Patagonia-sponsored mural, is currently on Evo’s West wall.  Elder holds a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts.

"I often carve my printing blocks in a natural setting: camping in Eastern Washington, at local parks or while watching wildlife at the ocean.  After printing the block, I build color with layers of watercolor wash over the areas of white.

Donna Stewart has been painting for the last 10 years, playing with color, texture, emotion and movement using references of the human body, water and the feeling of standing still.  
Seiler's work, on the other hand, is primarily crafted with oil bar, pastels, or pen & ink, though she often drifts into watercolors, mixed media, and embroidered works.  Her style embraces vibrant color, stark contrasts, and the curious and playful aspects of life.
 





420 N. 35th St.
What attracted us to Janet and made us want to show her was the lushness of her paintings. Images of jungles and gardens are thick with all manner of plants and creatures. But then that contrasts with her still lifes: simple, graceful, serene. Janet describes her process like this: "I paint and sculpt mainly from my imagination. I create a story in my mind, and then I try and create it on canvas or in clay."  Join as and see the world that comes from this beautiful imagination!
