Julia’s In Wallingford:  Artist: Sultana A. Kaba
“An enchanted life has many moments when the heart is overwhelmed with beauty and the imagination is electrified by some haunting quality in the world or by a spirit or voice speaking from deep within a thing, a place, or a person. Enchantment may be”
– Henry Louis Mencken

Sultana A. Kaba graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with a degree in Fine Arts. She resides with her family in Bothell, Washington. Her passion is painting with her heart and she hopes that her paintings will evoke emotion in all who see it.

Wine World: Jeff Hengst.   Our display of Jeff’s work will include some of his lush landscape/abstract paintings inspired by the verdant colors and pearlescent skies of Autumn in the Northwest.  These works are lush and now grace many beautiful homes and businesses in the Seattle area including the Board Room for the Space Needle. We will also feature some of Jeff’s unique depictions of the fall harvest.  Ever since Van Gogh’s sunflowers became famous, it has become a challenge for artists to invent their own particular vision of how to paint flowers, fruits and vegetables.  Come see what Jeff has come up with.  And come see how much the atmosphere of art can enhance the quality and experience of enjoying good wine.

Cutz Meridian- Kathy Liao was born in Taiwan.  She received a BFA from University of Washington and an MFA in Painting from Boston University.”

“My creativity is fueled by direct observation.  My work is driven by the fascination with perceptual and visual experience of light and space.  I am constantly seeking new ways to create an illusionistic space through an exploration of of lines, shapes, color and through the visceral act of painting, scraping and collaging materials.  I draw upon images of the people, objects, and places that I observe and identify with on a personal level.  Specifically, I am drawn to experiences that tap into my cultural identity.  These images and ideas are given substance and transformed through my painting and printmaking practices.

Fuel Coffee - Chris Thompson. We will also be holding a crafts sale at Fuel during the art walk.

Irwin’s - Andrew Detloff

Grizzled Wizard- David Gordon Williams

Dandelion Salon- Vanessa Steinhilb:

“My paintings can best be described as a collision of Pop Surrealism, Modernism and Illustration. Each painting contains multiple layers, each layer tells a story. I primarily work with oil paint. I never work with a model or photograph, preferring to work from distorted memories and precognitions. My process is intuitive. I do not pre-plan my paintings.”

Thrive- Sydney Palmer: These watercolor paintings emerged from my love of the glorious colors and quirky shapes of vegetables. Their unending variety never fails to bring cheer.

Dandelion Salon- Megan Key
“These paintings give you a look into my universe. In them I explore visions that spark when I practice yoga, meditate or am outside running. I use oil and acrylic to create a mix of colorful magical landscapes and sometimes creatures. My intention is that my paintings share this world with you, and I invite you to come see them and be inspired.”

Assistant League of Seattle Thrift Store- TV Tommy Vision
This “Outsider Artist” creates mixed media mosaic with images evoked from his fantasies, daydreams and nightmares.

RAIN Sushi- Matt Ballard
“Recent changes in my life and awareness have brought me to my current work with perception. My curiosity, appreciation and respect of animals has inspired me to create a series of paintings (virtually endless) of animal silhouettes surrounded by a plane of swirling colors representing one plane of perception, being emotion and growth. The words in several languages are a metaphor for how well we understand each other as a whole as well as the definitions of these words as we know them.”

Wally Pets – Photos by Peter Dudley. He is one of the owners and his black and white photos are of cats and birds that were taken on a recent trip to Istanbul, Turkey.

KeyBank – Jeanne Horsey
“Jeanne Horsey is a self-taught artist who developed her skills mostly by reading, observing, experimenting, and attending workshops. The raised line drawings that she did for blind students in her career as a special education materials specialist inspired her to try using heavy tin foil for Repousse drawing with acrylic. The raised dots you’ll see in her work are actually Braille dots done with a stylus.
Jeanne’s work includes large watercolors, repousse, note cards and repousse light switch covers. She continues to grow and expand in her use of both media.
She is a resident of University House and the mother of local renowned cartoonist Dave Horsey. Her works are exhibited at the University House Art Galas, and at the East Side and University Unitarian Church Galleries.
KeyBank will be serving refreshments and we will be open to display Ms. Horsey’s art from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.”

Ka’ Dunk
Music to soothe the savaged soul… so they say…Ka’ dunk is a Seattle based band that just started itself one day, spontaneously and organically, and then later pulled in its various, eclectic musicians to fulfill its visions. Collectively this group of musicians play in so many groups that it would silly to try to list here, and chances are are if you check out live music in Seattle, you have seen one or more of these musicians playing…some good music!
Think Zero 7 meets Radiohead meets SADE meets The Meters and Jackie Mittoo and Oh so relaxing… ]]> http://wallingfordartwalk.org/2011/07/july-art-walk-summer-time-seattle/feed/ 0
