Jo Anderson Studio, 619 Commercial Ave (Suite 18 on the 2nd Floor)

717 Commercial Ave, Ink & Wool

Ink & Wool presents a collection of work by Melanie Dugan. Dugan says, "I have loved to draw ever since I can remember.  When I was young, people always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I would always answer, "An artist or a teacher". I am fortunate to have done both.  At the age of 14, I won "Most Outstanding Artist". I was painting then, but pencil--especially colored pencil--is my medium of choice.  I like the control and detail I can achieve. My favorite subjects are animals. I love the challenge of the various textures. I hope you enjoy seeing my work."

1216 7th Street, Christ Episcopal Church

Swinomish wood sculptor Kevin Paul’s carvings of a salmon and eagle represent the giving spirit and prayerful practice of the Christian belief will be on display and described in more detail.  Inside the sanctuary you can enjoy the eight stained-glass windows that surround the space.  Each beautiful window, as designed by Jim Perry of Perry Stained Glass Studio of Issaquah depicts a scene from Jesus’s life, such as the violent storm in the Sea of Galilee where Jesus calms the waters.  As you learn more about each scene you can enjoy the beauty of the stained-glass and reflect on the artist's interpretation of each story. We also feature paintings by Dederick Ward of Anacortes.  All are welcome.  Light refreshments and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
