SCHEDULE
July 16th - 11am-2pm MANDY MAIN
I paint luminous oil paintings of the Northwest landscape, informed by nature and capturing a personal sense of place rather than an exact representation.
I am continually coming up with ideas of what I want to say about nature and the world and I never want to stop painting. A part of my inner being is woven into every painting I create.
July 19th BRENDA BOYLAN
My approach to creativity stems from an investigational curiosity. I embrace my art making like a child without boundaries, while pushing and pulling color with theoretical playfulness. The joy of stretching rules allows new ideas to flourish while color, composition, and intention are held tight. My process allows immense freedom while artistic principles hold me in line. What if? Why not? How fun!
July 25th - 26th LORI LATHAM
One of my greatest joys in life is painting. I try to listen to that little voice deep inside that gives guidance and support.
Letting go of expectations and desires is challenging, but the joy and freedom of “anything goes” is worth the risk every time.
July 26th - 11am-3pm THERESA ANDREAS-O’LEARY
The changing landscape implores my brush to document memories. Seasonal light affects my painting process. Embedded light circles, gold metal leaf & mixed media create depth & texture. Modernistic striated layers of paint weaving ghostlike images reflect a stained-glass aesthetic. Views of sacred hallowed ground in fields, open spaces and farms dotting the contoured hillsides...revealing layered soil hues, connecting me, connecting us. Stewards of the land, revering Mother Earth, we will remain.
August 23rd CARRIE KAUFMAN
Not unlike a patchwork quilt, my work is constructed of small forms that build on each other to become a complex image.
It’s easy to take life too seriously. Creating mixed media collage brings balance to my life and whimsy to my world. I love color and texture, and I strive to make the walls of our everyday lives sing with pleasure and delight.
