Oil, 24” x 36”
This November we open our expanded Gallery space, which will allow us to display additional furniture and a number of new artists, especially in the area of wall art. As part of this exciting expansion we are delighted to welcome prolific artist Carrie Goller of Port Ludlow, Washington.
A Bainbridge Island native, the multi-media artist recalls being advised as a child to pursue a career in fine art, but it wasn’t until she battled breast cancer that she became a serious and dedicated artist. Goller is lured by simple yet sensuous organic forms and the intoxicating realm of vibrant colors, shapes and textures found in nature. Her thoughtful approach to subject matter can be evidenced from her tender still life work, along with a passion for rendering impressionist oils of daily life. She transitions with ease within a wide range of genres and mixed media, including oil, watercolor, pastel and charcoal, as well as ancient mediums such as encaustic (molten pigmented beeswax), casein and egg tempera.
"As a colorist, I truly appreciate Carrie Goller’s work. She has a wonderful talent for creative combinations that really do engage the eye," says Leatrice Eiseman,
Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Please visit us in November to view Carrie’s initial presentation. We will feature her new works in a solo show opening on First Friday, February 1, 2013. In the meantime, keep an eye on our web shop to view more pieces from this very special Northwest artist.
Faceted Canister, Eric Gorder
Dimensions: approximately 7” tall x 8” in diameter
A wonderful example of hand-building clay and the most subtle expression of wood firing effects, Eric Gorder’s elegant Faceted Canister is functional as well as decorative. It has a shino interior and could easily be used to store tea or spices.
Silk Organza: hand-dyed two-patterned shibori formed, pieced, stitched.
For over twenty years, as she has cultivated her love of art and fabric, Boston textile artist Amy Nguyen has gone about stitching, painting, patterning, quilting and dyeing to create clothing that is both functional and sculptural. Her artistic journey has been greatly influenced by Japanese textile design and ancient dyeing techniques such as shibori, rozome and katazome. This coat of paper-like silk organza is notable not only for its exquisite, exact construction, but for the play of black-green dye against shimmering white. We are delighted to report that Amy is featured in the most recent edition of Ornament magazine; one of her beautiful creations appears on the front cover, and if you’re a lover of textiles, the article is an interesting read. One size (fits approximately sizes 8 - 16).
Dimensions: Adjustable, 26-30”
Combining “stunning” and “fun” in one package, this wonderful polymer clay necklace from Seattle jewelry artist Sylvia Luppert is the perfect way to dress up holiday, or everyday, outfits! Mixing vibrant color with unexpected texturing and glass or metal beads and findings raises Sylvia’s pieces to the status of wearable sculpture. The artist typically employs gem-tone color schemes in her work that go beautifully with earth tones and really spice up that Little Black Dress or formal ensemble.
Dimensions: 13” in diameter x 4.75” tall
Crafted by Seattle wood-turning master Dave Thompson, this exquisite salad bowl is a perfect selection for holiday giving (or keeping!). The rich character of the wood shows to great advantage; the inset photo shows the bowl’s lovely interior. It features a food-grade finish and comes with its own matching salad servers.
