Between - A Shared Experience Opens November 6 in Anacortes

10/31/15

Between – A Shared Experience, a group exhibition of 10 artists associated with Camano Island, opens Friday, Nov 6 at Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes.  Between – A Shared Experience explores the artistic links between process and imagination, between daily living and creating art, between love and loss, between art and community. The show is a result of eight years of continuing conversations, great meals, and laughter between the 10 artists as they supported one another and forged powerful bonds that have inspired stronger work by each.
 

The show, which closes Dec 1, includes work by Indy Behrendt (jewelry), Susan Cohen Thompson (ceramics, oils, watercolors), Marguerite Goff (ceramics), Janet Hamilton (pastels, oils), Liz Hamlin (watercolors), Kathy Hastings (photo encaustics), Lynne Nielsen (mixed media), Patricia Resseguie (fiber), Jackie Roberts (book arts, photography), and Renate Trapkowski (mixed media).

Haiku About My Art

4/30/14

Artist friends wrote haiku about each others' art.  Here are a few about mine.

white mulberry leaves 
design teased out of a thread
woven epiphytes
Jackie R.

She opens her gift.
Thread becomes stitch becomes row
becomes cloth - her life.
Kathy H.

She sees paths of a life
mimic patterns of nature-
lichens show us hope
