Elizabeth Berrien is a world renowned wire sculptor. Her strikingly innovative wire sculpture helped launch wire sculpture as a dynamic art form, the ideal feature for spaces enhanced by substance, yet not overwhelmed by volume. The artist enjoys collaboration with architects and design teams to create award winning installations and projects. Each Berrien wire sculpture begins with the joining of two strands of wire. Then another, and another, until hundreds or even thousands of wires are involved.
JIMMY ULVENES
“Amidst all of our strife and fear, especially in the last few years, Nature continues to do what she does. Leaves fall, flowers bloom, and the tide comes in and out. I find a great deal of comfort and reassurance from that. “
Jimmy is a local artist who has shown his work throughout the Puget Sound for over 20 years. He is known for his landscape and seascape paintings, where he typically places the viewer right in the middle of the scene. |
TOM FATH
Tom Fath’s work includes ribbon installations on wood found in old barns and paintings on canvas. The images he employs arrive totemic, two dimensional interpretations of urban culture and natural themes. Pieces of a puzzle that when finished, makes statements about our culture and nature. His narrative registers the relevance and the power of redemption and reclamation, as a universal emotional need for our times.

CAROLE LANDISMAN
My artwork examines distortions of perception due to the limits of our physicality, our personal biases, and changes in perspective (both concrete and metaphorical). The multi-chrome pigments cause these works to change their appearance as the viewer moves past or sees them under different illumination over the course of the day. These changes speak to the malleability of our perception and it’s sensitivity to context and time.
CELERY JONES
I'm interested in just about everything. Fascinated by life itself, I like to learn about my environment and dig meeting people and learning their stories. Chances are good I'll like what they like, too. Raised in Appalachia, then moving from Kentucky to rural Wales, on to London, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and now Olympia, I had the opportunity to try all sorts of cultures and geographies. Across the board, I like it! Hence the collection presented here. It may seem all over the map, but that's how I operate: trying different styles and techniques depending on which way the wind blows.

One of my earliest ecstatic memories as a child is sitting alone in a sea grape tree. I held the branches, listening and observing, and suddenly became one with the tree: the warm breeze in my face, the slight vibration of leaves, a nearby mockingbird singing its endless song. The repository of color, form, pattern, texture and quality of light are imprinted upon my subconscious and translate into subtle layers of meaning- emotions driving the artistic journey forward.
My painting is rooted in my early life experience, amidst the sights and sounds of New York city where I absorbed the loud rhythmic symphony of the subway, the constant construction and destruction of buildings. Moving through diverse crowds that interplay global cultures also had a profound effect. The exciting sounds of Jazz, Rock and Latin music permeated my being. To this day I carry these influences within me and express them in my art.

"Color helps to express light...
not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that is in the artist's brain." -- Henri Matisse Jan Carlton favors a loose impressionistic style, focusing on vibrant colors and the effects of light. Her subjects are mostly landscapes and still-life's. |
katherine ransom
We belong to the elements...earth grounds and holds us, water provides and heals us, air revives and sustains us and fire fuels and humbles us.
Katherine creates expressionist works of art, primarily using oils and mixed media. Her concentration on earth, air, water and fire are informed by her lifelong passion for nature. |
