DAVID FRENCH

View the work:     David French

David's sculptures delight the eyes with their colorful nature and implied textures. Looking at the these sculptures, they seem familiar, almost known....but upon closer inspection, these objects are fragments of the internal imagined world of David's imagination...So beautiful!

New Works:
BARBARA DUZAN

View the work:     Barbara Duzan

Barbara has created a new beaded sculpture very different from the recent deer heads the gallery has shown. This particular fox head features local driftwood branches incorporated into the form, a new colored clay treatment, all creating a different beaded sculpture.

Kathryn has been creating these beautiful monotypes for years. What's new and exciting is the hand printed papers and collages are now applied directly onto a pane. The result is the ablility to experience this beautiful surface directly without the need for glass. So beautiful!

A story of interest for gallery art lovers...

Is It fear of the Unknown? Intimidation? Boredom? As Four Fantastic art spaces close, I try to wrap my head around the emptiness of Seattle's Great Galleries...
