 Sydney Davis is a Pacific Northwest artist whose artwork ranges from abstract pieces to plein air scenes, but regardless of the subject, her work is always colorful, expressive, and inspired by nature. Some pieces are abstracted versions of nature or a micro-view of the insides of things, such as geodes or flowers. Others are an exaggerated macro-view, much like an aerial photograph of a beach or other landscape. Sydney enjoys plein air painting whenever she can and exploring a variety of other mediums, including fused glass and hand-built ceramic sculpture. Sydney has been an artist her entire life and has shown her work in local, regional, and national shows and venues.

 Rebecca Mott is a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago studying the intersection between contemporary painting and artificial intelligence. Her own studio practice and her deep interest in art history and theory, motivates her to be a professor. Rebecca has experience working in a variety of materials. She primarily enjoys painting in acrylic, looking for ways to expand her practice. Her paintings often take on molecular or constellation-like forms that develop from repetition and visual association. Her enthrallment with biology and botany feeds her desire to produce abstract works.
 Combining the shimmer and luminescence of metal leaf with paint, Julie’s work hovers somewhere between abstract and realistic. Inspired by oceans, rivers, and mountains, her interpretations use multiple layers -- modeling paste, metal leaf, paint, glazing, and varnish. Sometimes sculptural, always dynamic, these contemporary works provide multiple levels of engagement -- beauty of place as well as of color, composition, and texture. Julie is available for commissions -- custom painting for your specific needs in regards to size and color palette. Please contact her through her web-site.  "Refuge" - Original Acrylic on Goldleaf by Julie Marcelia $310 - 12in x 12in  Cynthia has been painting in earnest for the past 11 years, after retiring from a long career as a licensed architect. She graduated with her BA/Fine and Applied Arts and MA/Architecture from the University of Illinois during the 1970s. She has been exhibiting her paintings since 2016, with two one-person shows. Cynthia is a member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Mt. Si Artist Guild. Her works have been reproduced in DESTIG magazine, and many of her paintings are in private collections. Her work explores the concept of voyaging—through life, space and time. Living next to Puget Sound and sailing aboard her beloved sloop “Mirage” influence Cynthia’s artistic themes: marine landscapes and visual explorations of the tenuous edge between the land and the sea.
 People ask me: what is your inspiration? I tell them I look at the piece of flattened recycled silver and let it tell me what it wants to be. The technique of melting Sterling Silver into a liquid mass and transforming it into a piece that is flat, a round rod, wire or tubing is not an easy task. I make an ingot (a lump of metal) by heating silver past its melting point in an ingot mold. The ingot is passed through a rolling mill, which flattens it or thins the silver into square wire. The flat piece or square wire is then textured. All pieces are stamped with 925, the legal numbers that represent Sterling Silver, my last name, the word recycled, the year, and a copyright © symbol. Thank you for your interest in my work, and the ethical sourcing of Sterling Silver, which helps me to keep my promise to do my best at not further harming the planet.

Her favorite medium, watercolor, seems a natural fit with the seashores, lighthouses, boats and fishers (both people and creatures) that she frequently depicts.

She primarily enjoys painting in acrylic, looking for ways to expand her practice. She embraces a sense of whimsy making organic paintings; but simultaneously inhabits the energy and vibrancy of a diverse community through expressive color and baroque compositions.

 Sheila has been doing artwork all her life, mostly painting and drawing. She had her first gallery show in 1975. She has studied at the following schools of art including Burnley School of Art, Seattle, WA, Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, HI, Hoschschue fur Bildende und Kunst, Berlin, Germany, and Frei Academy Art Psychopolis, The Hague, Holland. Her paintings are shown in several international art collections. She has worked in ink, oils, acrylics and sculpture; but watercolor is her greatest love. She invites you to enjoy these artworks. She paints them because she is in awe of the beauty of our earth-its endless and ever-changing clouds, water, sky, forests and mountains. When she paints these landscapes, she sits at her easel and allows herself to enter into a quiet space of no thought. She makes a mark and the painting begins to appear on the empty white paper. She just tries to keep up with its birthing. Sheila's work can be seen at the Art Gallery of SnoValley as well as the Art Gallery of SnoValley Online Store.
