Reflections on Water, Clarridge Gallery, March 26-April 30

Helen — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 01:45:39 +0000

Water seems to be a perfect subject for winters in the northwest.

All these images, with the exception of Winter Rain, were taken during the last flood of the Snoqualmie River. Large floods in this area seem to be a regular occurrence these days. They pose problems for the farms of the Snoqualmie Valley, and sometimes for the residents of Carnation. However, they can also be quite beautiful, especially once the driving rain stops and the sun comes out. I found the patterns of the moving water to be especially captivating. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Here are some photos from the EAFA Gallery Exhibit II show. The Eastside Association of Fine Arts is a local art group that meets monthly in Bellevue. They currently have a wonderful gallery space in the Seattle Design Center in south Seattle. I also edit their newsletter.

It’s a great show, and runs from March 2 – April 9. These pictures are from the show reception on March 10th. I have five pieces in the show – all of them are textural paint/rust shots.

Stop by and see it if you get a chance.

EAFA Gallery is located in the Seattle Design Center at 5701 Sixth Avenue South, Suite A239 in Seattle. It is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The facility does not allow children under 12.

Unable to attend the Bellevue ArtsFair this year

Helen — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:39:49 +0000

Many of you asked me at the Edmonds Arts Festival if I’d be attending the Bellevue ArtsFair show. I had a spot in the show, but a recent family medical issue led me to cancel my participation this year. I have many friends participating in the show though, and it should be a great event.

If you are interested in purchasing my work, you can still contact me directly at 425-922-2935.
