Rick Garcia has been an artist and composer for over 25 years. Much of his work as a visual artist explores polyphony. His painting, primarily oils on wood panel, contain many layers of color, symbols and textured brush strokes in different tempo relationships. To Rick, painting, much like music, is a generative process that pulls him along. He takes cues from his materials and views his work as growing organically and directly from his tactile approach to color and texture.
Rick attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle where he met and worked with the Artist Trimpin for 12 years. He has recieved awards and grants from the Art at Work program, Museum of Arts and Culture, Washington Composers Forum, Jack Straw Foundation and The Tacoma Art Museum.
Aylee Cody has been making jewelry her entire life. As a little girl she made pieces out of torn, hand painted paper garnished with sequins and beads. Today she uses precious gems and metals. Aylee studied Metals at Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, OR. Aylee is inspired by the Art Deco period and enjoys the juxtaposition of opposing forces such as old/new and masculine/feminine. Her passion is in the intricate details of each piece whether it be the rough cut stone, the filigree setting, the hand forged texture or the meticulous finish of the surface. Aylee employs traditional metalsmith techniques, uses repurposed metals when possible and is committed to purchasing materials from socially responsible vendors.

Camelion Design is excited
to feature the beautiful paintings of Jamee Linton during the June and
July Ballard Art Walk. Jamee, a new Seattleite, has recently relocated
from our sister city Portland, Oregon. She will be exhibiting both her
well-known landscape paintings as well as her new abstract works.
Her paintings demand attention
through their use of color, composition, and mark making. Her
landscapes offer a soothing escape into environments that remind us of
the places we have been and want to go. Her abstracts draw from the
motivations of abstract impressionism and tell a story of life, passion,
and struggle through texture, mark making, color, and spontaneity.
Jamee Linton-Kelly, originally
from Aiken, South Carolina, obtained her MFA in Painting and BFA in
Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Jamee has
exhibited her work in venues both in the United States and Europe,
including but not limited to Paris, London, Dublin, Portland, Atlanta,
and New York. Her work has received special attention in a number of
publications including: New American Paintings, Picture Perfect, The
Atlanta Magazine, The Portrait of Portland Magazine, and The Oregon Home
Magazine. Her paintings have also been featured on HGTV’s "Deserving
Design". She was also nominated for the 2011 Contemporary Northwest Art
Award through the Portland Art Museum. Jamee currently lives in the
beautiful, sometimes rainy, city of Seattle.

After a one year hiatus, Rick Garcia, whose work as a painter relates to music and sound, is back in Ballard with an amazing show. He began his work exploring sound in the early 1980’s, coming to Seattle in 1988 as a composer, working and studying with the sound sculptor Trimpin for over twelve years. During that time, his work became more and more visual.
In 1995, Garcia began to paint with oils on wood. Largely self-taught, his process is not bound by learned techniques. "To me, painting, much like
music, is a self-generative process that pulls me along." Garcia takes cues from his materials. "I look at my work as growing organically and directly from the materials and my own intuitive process."
Garcia explores polyphony and texture that are the result of many different layers of color, symbols and textured brush strokes in different tempo relationships. Shapes and symbols create a musical language within the painting. Totemic signs emerge in the work resulting from his systematic approach to color and layering. Garcia uses this process to create paintings with an abstract and primitive edge.
