About the Show:
In
this month known for the twin virtues of love and sharing, we celebrate new
work from ceramic artist Robin Hominiuk and fiber artist Jacki Moseley.
Robin, a Northwest potter who has shown in our gallery for many years, is now
living close by in Seattle and continues to surprise us with both functional
and sculptural ceramic vessels. Her specialty is woodfire and she fires
in both Washington and Oregon. Jacki is a relative newcomer now living on
Bainbridge Island; she experiments with sculptural felting, as wall art
and vessels. Her latest work focuses on Joomchi or Korean paper felting using
Mulberry paper and silk formed into wall sculptures. An art piece from
Robin or Jacki is a perfect memento for your special Valentine!
The
Jenny Davis Jazz Duo will supply the music for the opening Reception, and L’Atelier
TR is back with more edible art. Tamas and Tae create delicacies for
happy and expectant visitors to the gallery and it is always a wonderful
surprise - we have been given a hint that chocolate is involved… (come early!)
About the Artists:
Robin
Hominiuk, Seattle
Robin
was born in Canada and moved to the United States in 1998. She received her clay education via community
education courses and several terms at Mt. Hood Community College. She regularly attends workshops to keep a
fresh perspective and learn new techniques.
In addition to the beautiful functional pots she produces from her
studio kiln, she also creates pottery and sculpture for wood firing. These pots are fired in huge kilns based on
ancient Japanese traditions. The pots
are fired for 70 plus hours with a committed group of potters and six to eight
cords of wood. Pottery fired in this
intense method is transformed by flame and ash; the colors and marks cannot be
replicated or produced in any other way. Robin’s work has been featured in
numerous national and international collections.
Jacki
Moseley, Bainbridge Island
Jacki began felting in 2012 after being attracted
to the texture and dimension of felt for many years – fascinated by its
properties, how to make it, and how to make things with it. She has most
enjoyed making bowls, vessels and wall hangings. She also worked with beads,
sewing them onto her creations, which are made with merino wool. She uses both
wet and needle felting processes, where the wool fibers become intertwined to
create a design and/or a form.

Music:
The Jenny Davis Jazz Duo
Jenny Davis, M.F.A. - jazz vocalist, composer, arranger and educator
- has pleased audiences here at the gallery for several years. During the
February Artwalk Elliott “Kirk” Kuykendall accompanies Jenny on upright bass.
A Seattle native,
Jenny Davis earned her Bachelor of Music from the prestigious Cornish College
of the Arts. 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.
