SEPTEMBER 2018
During the month of September, Museo will exhibit works by Marly Eidsness and Kathe Fraga.
Marly Eidsness will be presenting her wire-mesh sculpture of human figures, birds, and boles. Marly finds a quiet beauty in the process of turning a cold roll of wire-mesh into something life-like that has a connection to something meaningful.
Kathe Fraga returns with “Narratives”, in celebration of her eighth year showing at Museo. She will exhibit new paintings inspired by the romance of vintage French wallpapers and Chinoiserie with a modern twist.
DANIELLE BODINE & PETE JORDAN - August 2018
AUGUST 2018
Danielle Bodine and Pete Jordan, two well known and accomplished local artists, will exhibit new works for the month of August.
Inspired by the twists and poses in her yoga practice, Danielle Bodine has created a series called “Twists”, that plays with both centering and surrender. Her “Wild Hare” series is whimsical, and fun.
Pete Jordan, renowned Whidbey Island painter, has created a series of new, meticulously crafted paintings, which are a balance of tranquil and dramatic.
"HOT GLASS" and KANDIS SUSOL - July 2018
JULY 2018
Kandis Susol creates unique and meditative works in artist-made paper, bees wax and resin. She says of these pieces, “the work invokes different visions making them a journey or portal into ones own imagination. I create a space where the viewer can rest and flow through to peace. These “paintings” must be seen in person to fully appreciate.
“Hot Glass” presents artists whose compelling visions are expressed through glass. Their unique, evocative and varied expressions are not to be missed.
JENNIFER CALDWELL & JASON CHAKRAVARTY with STEPHANIE HARGRAVE - June 2018
JUNE 2018
Jennifer Caldwell & Jason Chakravarty will be showing new works in glass and mixed media. Over the past couple years they have mounted multiple two person exhibitions which included work that challenges the experimental process specific to each of them. Within these compositions, Jennifer included flame worked components that represented her mastery of the process while Jason’s contribution was cast and blown glass.
Stephanie Hargrave exhibits encaustic paintings and sculptures. Her paintings incorporate a tendency to abstract organic forms, and in doing so, emphasize the direct correlation between her subject matter and materials.
