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!

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.

"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

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!

Featured Artist of the Month: Brandon Vosika, Mixed Media
On view will be Brandon’s unique light boxes, paintings, craftings & collage, all accompanied by the haunting melodies of his musical work – a land & soundscape into the past; memoryscapes perhaps of an old and fading world juxtaposed with a modern overlay.  Ancient explores lost on tundra’s of ragboard and reclaimed wood; innocent rabbit children pose for an unseen cameraman under coffee stained skies; quizzical dogs await the sound of their master’s voice…all are present in Vosika’s miniatures.

 Tyson Anthony Roberts is a painter based in Seattle, WA.  He studied studio art at UC Davis and after college moved to Mexico City to continue developing his style away from home. Upon his return to Northern California, he voraciously worked to distinguish his brush-work and thus his style has culminated into what you see today. This past year Tyson exhibited his work twice in NYC and at numerous locations throughout Seattle.
Live music by Bar Tabac, and Skillet Street food truck will be serving deliciousness out of their iconic Airstream trailer 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!
