Art
drawing, painting, or sculpture interpreting human experience.
Moment In Time
Jamie Lightfoot
Oil. My goal is to manipulate light in my oil paintings and photography in a way that invites the viewer to come along on the journey. The structure of the work provides a roadmap for the eye. But the path is impressionistic, leaving the mind to fill in the blanks and the observer's soul to complete the scene.
Reflections On A Pond
Ed Martin
Watercolor. I am fascinated by the way light, color and motion are reflected on bodies of water. This work attempts to capture all three on a small pond.
I Can Breathe In This Water
Cyra Jane Hobson
Sculpture. I am an expressive multi-media artist specializing in surreal stone sculpture and public installations. Water, to me, is love. Is romance. Is sensual and enveloping. This sculpture is of the moment of giving over to the water, the acceptance and submission to the emotions.
What Lies Beneath
Lisa Daniels
Acrylic. Our ocean story is a current abstract series which I feel is so important to our world in this changing environment - an underwater world that needs attention and importance brought to the forefront.
Flowing As In A Dream
Barbara L. Chapman
Watercolor. Barbara’s work explores our connections to nature , to our intuition and instincts and is an invitation to explore however deeply the viewer chooses.
Atolla Jelly
Frieda Verlage
Block printing. My goal is to continue to learn about all the different biodiversity that the deep-sea offers and create artwork that sparks curiosity in others to learn more about them. Deep-sea creatures often have the reputation of being big and scary; however, the more I learn about them, the more I see them as uniquely beautiful and incredible. I enjoy working on a smaller scale since it allows me to get more intimate with the design for each creature. I hope that my work inspires others to look at the deep-sea in a new light and take action to protect and conserve our ocean.
Underwater At Shilshole
Kristine Svehla-Brown
Acrylic. I discovered acrylic flow painting as a medium and spent time experimenting with this method. I often come back from a swim inspired and ready to create new artwork. With this medium, I see so many similarities in the paint as I do above and below the water.
Silver Tides
Alexie Blake Sinclair
Acrylic. Though impossible to bottle the overwhelming peace that the ocean rushes at us, I find it. This particular piece is contemplative of life itself: deep hues and silver highlights, the delicate balance between chaos and calm.
The Ctenophores
Jay Stemmler
After a one year apprenticeship in Japan, most of my work is functional and leans to the Asian aesthetic. I occasionally enjoy creating larger sculptural work based on the natural world at large. My underlying goal is to make pieces that people will enjoy using or displaying.
Stiniva II
Shayna Leib
Photography Eric Tadsen
I work with glass. Glass is fragile. It is see through and dark, like the ocean.
