Artist, Jay Alexander
"I began painting in 2002. Aside from a few art classes as an undergraduate, I have little formal training in painting and I am primarily self-taught. I became interested in seascapes and city scenes in 2006 when I moved from the Midwest to the outskirts of NYC. More recently, I have been more interested in the exploration of the abstract expression of urban subjects and geometric designs."

Artist of the Month: Zuzana "Zuzko" Korbelarova, Handcrafted Sterling Silver
Jewelry.
Zuzana
Korbelarova (Zuzko) is a Seattle based jewelry designer, originally from the
Czech Republic. She designs and creates jewelry primarily from sterling silver
and hand selected semiprecious gems. She patina's her silver and then polishes
it back up to bring out the depth of the metal for a feel that has been worn and
loved for a long time. Zuzana's designs are inspired by simple lines, different
textures and most of all movement that brings the jewelry to life when worn. All
of her original designs are hand crafted and fabricated in her Vashon Island
studio.

This exhibit features some especially fine work from guest artists new to us. We are especially amazed at the Shards of Ice Lamps which have constantly changing complex colors reflecting and refracting within a highly textured transparent and translucent lamp. The shapes resemble the hoar frost one sees on the trees at the tops of mountains in midwinter lit by an Aurora Borealis. Come see for yourself and make your opinion known!

Annie's Art & Frame
From the artist: My name is Gabriel, I typically work in drawing and painting. My mediums are charcoals on wood and paper. I have always been inspired by artists growing up, the whole process and build of a painting has always sparked curiosity. I use art to express my moods or just thoughts that come to mind intuitively and in some indirect way. Some drawings describe pain and some are just random.. I just draw. Freestyle drawing is something I really love to do. I like feeling the moment, to just create what you feel or dont feel at all. I make a few marks and embrace the whole process.
