After extensive design training, Pittsburgh native J. Craig Thorpe moved to Seattle where he started his own architectural illustration business. While his ink and water color renderings have interpreted design concepts for countless NW clients, Thorpe is known nationally for his oils of contemporary railroad themes. Amtrak used his painting of the Olympia, WA station on its 1993 national corporate calendar, opening the door to dozens of railroad commissions for noted clients such as Union Tank Car Co., General Electric and the White Pass & Yukon Route in Alaska. Recent Amtrak commissions include the Centennial paintings for Washington, DC Union Station and Glacier National Park. For the last 16 years, Thorpe has produced yearly calendar art for Alaska Marine Lines, the maritime company shipping barges of containers to Alaska. He also specializes in iconic NW scenes. Thorpe is primarily a landscape painter and even his industrial commissions set the subjects in their unique settings. Says the artist, " The haste, cynicism and expediency of our age has blurred an ability to see beauty. These images help people refocus." He combines a technical accuracy with a painterly style evoking an emotional response from the viewer: "That painting makes me want to be right there!"

Movement + Light. And a clean windshield. That’s how Ben Scherer created this series of photographs. Each shot was taken from his car while driving through Seattle’s streets at night. The electric patterns come from a variety of different car and shutter speeds, camera positions, turns and bumps in the road. Vibrant lights from stores, bars, cars, buses, signs, and sometimes the slightest bit of daylight, provide raw and real color. While each shot is digital, they are not retouched. The series started as an effort to capture the unique nighttime energy of Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods. Scherer's inspiration was simply wanting to try using his camera to create art and his imagination to make the familiar seem extraordinary.

Pursuing a path guided by faith and intuition, Brian Bacungan moved to Seattle from Kaneohe, Hawaii last September to develop himself as an artist and find his spiritual center. He utilizes meditation as a tool to wholly connect with his art, thus enabling his true inner-world to flow through. Brian describes his art as a spontaneous, intuitive expression of his thoughts and emotional energy. His perception of the natural flow of energy and its interaction with the physical world is a subject which heavily influences every piece he makes.

Firehouse Coffee2622 NW Market Street
Artist of the Mind, Life, Fine Form and Figure. “Art is everywhere you look and in everything you do.” This show relates to simply the world of wonders the artist sees, feels and captures. His work
consists of one to nine photographic images merged into one, which goes through many artistic and technical adjustments and cleanings. A typical image can take up to 10+ hours to refine and produce, creating Thomas G. Whipple Fine Art Photography with a Twist. One that captures details, colors and shades that single images miss. Composition and concept are high priorities in the creation of Whiple's images. Embedded in some of my images are concepts, which can appear in the form of stories and personal philosophies, hidden symbols or figures.

Showcasing the work of Mindie Willson McDonnell who developed her sense of style way back when while working in such fine jewelry shops as Nielsen's and Bender's Jewelry. Her passion includes the love of color and luminescence in opals and gemstones, which is reflected in her most contemporary resin originals. Resin is a fabulous medium, and McDonnell has developed her own mark with color and sparkle in these individual paintings that embody a spiritual essence. They are light to wear and bring light into a focal point that says, this is original, like the spirits who don them!

In 1966, Terry John Pratt saw the movie Blow-Up, an English film about a studio photographer. Inspired, he purchased a Kodak folding camera and started shooting pictures. While still in his teens, Pratt met NW photographer Mary Randlett, who is still taking pictures and is an inspiration at the age of 86. He worked for another (iconic) local photographer, Chuck Kuhn, during the 1980s, where he was introduced to the commercial side of photography. Pratt now returns to photography after 30 years away. When he left it was all about D76, Tri-X film, Polaroids, darkrooms and thermometers. Now it's all changed and Pratt is so glad to have experienced those earlier days.
Kiss Cafe
2817 NW Market Street
It's a collaboration of two photographers! New Mexican born Miguel Edwards has been a working artist in Seattle for nearly two decades, working primarily as a photographer and painter. His goal is to bring aspects of our lives which are usually subconscious or unacknowledged into the tangible world. Whether working with time-based media, pigment and canvas, wood or metal, intuition, time and chaos are the co-conspirators in his creative process. Edwards is an artist of exploration, placing process above medium, and enjoying the role that a specific location or intention can play in the direction of a piece. He appreciates learning and growing as a result of the challenges that arise in any creation.
Edwards' work resonates with that of his old friend Travis Monroe, who was born and raised in Montana. Though he was only able to spend seven years with his father before his death, it was through him that Monroe learned to love photography. After earning a degree in Graphic Design and touring the country as a truck driver, Monroe returned to Seattle where he works as a web developer, graphic designer and marketing consultant. In his professional career, Monroe spends a lot of time behind a computer screen. So, when getting a chance to shoot photos, he likes to limit his images to what can be captured with just a camera. Whether it’s a twist of the lens as the shutter is released, the use of expired film in a medium format camera with a plastic lens, multiple exposures, or just taking a shot from a unique position, Monroe finds photography a lot more satisfying without using software to produce an image.

Great Harvest Bread Co.
2218 NW Market Street
Twenty-one year old photographer Antonio Ysursa was born and raised in Idaho. His passion for photography began when he bought his first camera in high school and realized there was art all around him –in the people and places of home. Over the last five years, Ysursa has been building a body of work using his younger sisters and cousins as subjects. Inspiration drawn from his own childhood strongly affects his photographic approach. Paralleling his own past with the dissipating youth of his family, Ysursa explores the braids of memory, loss, and love. They tell of home and the bonds of blood, ultimately becoming a lamentation and memorialization of youth and its passing.

Behind the Light: Inside NYC Fashion Week
While on assignment covering 2011 Fashion Week for NYC's The Village Voice, photographer David Wentworth was much more intrigued by the stories behind the scenes than those on the runway. This show takes the viewer beyond the velvet ropes and rows of celebrities into a realm of modern mythology.
In these photos he documents moments of tenderness, trust, jealousy, joy, and ambition in a world known mostly for its shallowness. Each photograph is a story, full of depth. His photographs neither glamorize nor exploit, but elevate feminine mystique. He finds moments of peace in backstage chaos, as well as times of turmoil and humor.
These images are not only fascinating and beautiful, they are technically masterful.
Every piece teeters on the edge of chaos and symmetry. His camera finds deep perspective and always, perfectly defined intention.

Cha Davis paints portraits of mostly hens, mostly hers. Her lush acrylics, often adorned with beads and embroidery silk, are totems to the Underdog's Underdog. Her paintings evoke artifacts of a world in which these mystical creatures are given their due. Davis began her long creative life as a member of the seminal 70s theater group, Ze Whiz Kidz and later performed internationally in bands ranging from pop to blues to trip hop. She began painting late last century, but it wasn't until a chicken crossed her path while walking her dog that she found her muse. This showing is the first unveiling of all her 'girls'.

Ken Judd describes himself as a blue collar artist and craftsman who makes art wherever he goes. He’s always been drawn to using found objects and inexpensive, odd materials. When Judd moved into a rental house in 2009, whose previous owner was a handyman/do-it-yourselfer from the Depression era, he discovered a treasure trove of nuts, bolts, washer, old brake fluid cans and tools - inspiring him to create his current series of Robot Pioneers. They are made of 95% salvaged materials: wood, glass, metal and resin.

Art & Soul
2860 NW Market Street
Presenting New Work, art by Joan Stuart Ross & Kappy Trigg.
Joan's current series builds up layers of encaustic medium as metaphors for energy, introspection and depth. In a process similar to intaglio, the grids and interstices of color-filled carved lines create an atmosphere underneath and between suspensions of wax, resin and color. Kappy's new works layer surfaces of acrylic paint on panels to create a lacquer-like density, a luminous glow. Interspersed are dabs of color that relate to the idea of foul bite in etching--random marks and glyphs engage to create a mysterious narrative.

VAIN Ballard
5401 Ballard Avenue NW
Featuring the jewelry collection of Zerosept, a mix of natural wooden elements that have been shaped into delicate industrial shapes. Born in France in a very industrial town, Audrey Lou of ZeroSept settled in Seattle and fell in love with the natural beauty of the Great Northwest. An industrial designer by profession, she has taken her knowledge and creativity into a more emotional, down to earth and feminine adventure. Lou's recipe for creating jewelry is a mix of natural and industrial steps. Using the noble and unpredictable material of exotic wood, she creates contrast and modernity by drawing geometric shapes which will randomly fall onto the ever changing wood patterns. Utilizing laser cutting technology to create some precision as well as an industrial twist to her work, the finishing touches are put together by adding silver and metal components to compliment the stunning raw beauty of the wood and all of the magic (assembly) happens by hand.

As so well put by Juliet Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, "If you love horses, you will love her photographs. Her horses are immediate, personal and lovable. You'll feel you are there, stroking a velvety nose."
Venue 5408 22nd Avenue NW
