Invisible Adventures: A Story in Art & Poetry By Cynthia Heino Smith On View at Blowing Sands for the July ArtWalk

Paper collage, acrylics, wire, and watercolors—art in a range of mediums each with a corresponding poem: The concept of this show is that while each piece stands alone artistically, the whole of the show is connected through a character’s story.  This is a show to read your way through while on a summer’s art walk.

In October, Annie's Art & Frame is Showing the Paintings of Mike Dipetrillo

Mike likes painting funny things. And as an artist, he doesn’t think funny has to be separate from beautiful. A lot of his art takes on concepts that can be paradoxical when combined: funny, cute, gross, weird, and beautiful.

 His paintings reflect his obsessions: dinosaurs, stripes, mythology, geek culture, and gross-out humor. He enjoys the reactions people have to his paintings. He has been compared to everyone from Dali to Tim Burton. He says that seeing what other people think of his paintings is as much fun as making the paintings themselves.

Capricorn

Mike is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and has also attended Cornish College of the Arts. He’s been practicing art since he was but a tiny child. He works primarily with acrylics, and occasionally in digital media. Also, when he doesn’t know what to draw, he draws dragons.

You can keep up with his work at www.mikeatron.com.

Brilliant by Kappy Trigg

In celebration of more than ten years together, they challenged themselves to create work with a central theme using various mediums: encaustic, oil, acrylic, collage and printmaking. GRID offers “the viewer the opportunity to imagine what’s said, to find what’s hiding and to enjoy what’s implied.” Nancy Worsaam, Artsstage-seattlerage.com

Breia Mallett of The Brush & Mallett, Showing at Venue for the August ArtWalk

Artist Breia Mallett has always had a love for creating and after finding herself constantly making little whimsical cards for her husband, Ryan - they thought it’d be a great idea if they started a card business.

Breia starts her cards with simple hand-drawn images and then scans the image to her computer to digitally create the touches of color that complete the illustrations. All printing is done on their own professional printer at home; then the cards are hand scored, folded, rounded corners trimmed and packaged by hand. Every card is lovingly handled from start to finish. Breia delights in coming up with fun ideas for cards and being able to share her creations with others through her art.

For this month’s artwalk, Breia will be expanding her card collection to include some prints as well as small, original paintings done in acrylic on wood blocks.
