Escape to Sunny California Via Annie's Art and Frame During Saturday's March Artwalk

Lisa Snow Lady’s paintings reflect her love of Southern California, and recent travels to Palm Springs and Catalina Island off the coast of Long Beach. She is inspired by turquoise swimming pools, the shape of the palms, and red-tiled roofs against a backdrop of cerulean blue seas.

Whether she is painting recollections of her travels, neighborhood scenes of her native Seattle, interior spaces, or garden paths, it is her balanced design, simple shapes and limited color palette that define her paintings. 

Lisa has a BA in Art History and Fine Art and a BFA in Painting from the University of Washington and has continued her education with a degree in Ornamental Horticulture from Edmonds Community College along with various art classes through Pratt Fine Arts Canter and Gage Academy. She has maintained a studio at BallardWorks in Ballard for over 10 years where she participates in the monthly ArtWalk.

The BalMar Features Photographs by Paul Knutzen for March Artwalk

Paul Knutzen is a local artist who currently lives in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of South Seattle. Paul’s attributes his interest in art to his father, a painter himself, who exposed Paul to a wide range of art as a child. He graduated from Seattle Central Community College with a degree in graphic art and soon found a home in the video game industry, where he spent over a decade creating 3D environments.

Much of Paul’s artwork reflects his strong affection for architecture and the organic elements found in man-made structures. He enjoys experimenting with different mediums and surfaces in order to create subtle and unpredictable textures in his artwork. When he is not working in his garage studio, Paul can often be found wandering the city streets with a camera looking for inspiration in unusual buildings, trains, colorful signage, or local street art.

Internal Navigation at Habitude For March Artwalk

For the March Artwalk, Habitude presents Internal Navigation, a show of mixed media work by Salyna Gracie. 

Salyna's mixed-media collage works explore her interest in the layering of consciousness, the surreal nature of reality and the universal experience inherent in the deeply personal terrain of inner truth. 

"My collages evoke dreamscapes that are at once mystical and confessional, exploring questions of identity, memory, legacy and inheritance. The symbols of a personal mythology, a legend, that navigates internal landscapes and unlocks sensual treasures of light and shadow.

Madeline Owen Brings Wild Animals To Miro Tea for March Artwalk

It’s often difficult to explain with words exactly why something is fascinating. Madeline Owen has always been drawn to animals. On the less crowded days, she visits the zoo to take pictures and observe; the wolves are her favorites. Each animal moves in a unique way- the bears lumber, the elk walk gracefully and majestically, the wolves have a spring in their step.

Owen explores this energy and movement in her show "Curious Poses" opening this Saturday at Miro Tea. To see additional pieces in her portfolio, visit: www.madelineowen.wordpress.com.

Inspire Me Mandalas On Display at Interfaith Community Sanctuary for March Artwalk

Through the month of March, Inspire Me Mandalas will be on display at the Interfaith Community Santuary. These unique, circular designs are handmade by Shabeena Helsley using basic tools, which preserves the designs' organic essence. They are meant to be visually balanced and appealing, and include meanings and intentions held within each mandala.  

The significance is derived through the elements, colors, numbers and symbols used in each piece of art. They are designed to draw the mind and allow it to clear the thoughts and invite a more philosophical or spiritual essence to envelope the observer, which in turn leads to higher consciousness and transformation.

Shabeena will be present for a reception and artist talk on Saturday, March 8th between 6-8pm.
