Continuing Exhibition
November 3 – 30, 2017
Art is both inspirational and functional.
Paintings, prints and sculptures in the home
inspire our daily lives.
Where we sit and sleep, how we cook and eat our food,
and drink our coffee and
wine, art enhances the flavor of life.
Fifteen of the Gallery’s artists
exhibit new work – furniture, prints, ceramics,
and fiber sculpture - that both
inspires and provides
functionality for daily living.

The Jenny Davis Jazz Duo
Jenny and Chuck, performing at the Gallery earlier this year |
A Seattle native, Jenny Davis
earned her Bachelor of Music from the prestigious Cornish College of the Arts.
She is currently working on her MFA in jazz composition. A 20-year steward of straight-ahead jazz, she
actively performs throughout the U.S. and Canada in clubs, festivals and jazz
venues. A true original with an
authentic sound, Jenny has that rare vocal ability to swing hard in the pocket
and hold her own with the best musicians in the business. Jenny’s commitment to the art form is never
more evident than in her third and newest CD release “INSIDE YOU”, where
legendary jazz composer Rodgers Grant sought her to record his beautiful ballad
“Morning Glory”. A versatile vocalist,
she is highly requested and is considered one of the Pacific Northwest’s top
big band vocalists. A passionate steward
of jazz, Jenny passes on the tradition as a jazz educator, and vocal coach. Davis is inspired by such great jazz vocalists
as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Mel Tormé, Shirley Horn, June Christy and
Kurt Elling.
“A pure voice and laser like pitch!” (Jazz
Times)
“Vocalese doesn’t get any better than this!” (All
About Jazz)
“A welcome addition to the history of jazz vocalists.”
(All About Jazz)
“Stellar vocal jazz...magnificent...talented!” (Smother)
