Stop by Lucky Dry Goods for the July ArtWalk for Music by Barton Carroll and Paintings by Scott Davis

Lucky Dry Goods is proud to present local songwriter, Barton Carroll, and painter Scott Davis for July's Second Saturday Ballard ArtWalk event on July 13th.

Barton Carroll is an intense, brutally honest & literate folk singer in the vein of Bert Jansch or Michael Chapman. He's played with the Archers of Loaf, Crooked Fingers and other side projects, but he really shines on his solo albums. The "old, weird America" and ancient folk traditions of England are well evident in his complex yet simple story songs.

Scott Davis looks like he may have been in the Byrds. He works at Jive Time Records and knows everything there is to know about music. He paints these beautiful paintings, too.

Please join us for a summer's eve of live music, visual art, vintage clothing and adult beverages. All ages are welcome.

Continued for the July ArtWalk : Landscapes and Abstracts by Jamee Linton On Display At Camelion Design

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.

"Pictures", by Richard Lewis Now on View at Art & Soul for November's ArtWalk

Art & Soul presents "Pictures" by Richard Lewis, a showing diverse in media but united by a simple equation:

                accidents + formal control = art
 

This equation shines in paintings made by reworking a surface until it has developed a logic of its own to B&W photographs where detail and accidental forms of light interact.

Paintings By Melissa Fenwick Showing at Ghost Light Theatricals' Production of Scapin

Ballard’s theatre company, Ghost Light Theatricals, has Melissa Fenwick’s song-inspired paintings on display during their production of Moliere’s classic farce, Scapin. The lobby of their home, the Ballard Underground, will be open for the November Artwalk between 6:00-7:00 p.m.  At 7:00 p.m., the lobby will be open to patrons who are seeing the performance of Scapin at 7:30 p.m.

From the mind of Rob Raas-Bergquist, director of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Ghost Light Theatricals opens its landmark 10th season with Scapin, an adaptation of Molière’s classic farce, in the style of commedia dell’arte—one of the oldest forms of improvised comedy in the world—as viewed through the lens of the late-70s punk rock revolution. Chaos ensues when the titular character (archetypal charlatan Scapin) is tasked with helping two young men marry their penniless lovers, and proves how quickly indeed a fool is parted with his money. Love, lies, laughter, and a live band, this promises to be one of our most fun shows yet! Anything could happen, never the same show twice, Scapin is not one to miss!

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.

Beholder

Gobstopper

Ooze

 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.

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.
