Red Salon is excited to welcome Robyn Kruse for the month of February. Robyn is a Mount Vernon based artist who was raised in the midwest, lived on both coasts, and she has traveled the world. Robyn sees her work as representational with abstractions that shift perspectives, giving the viewer the chance to see an everyday subject in a new light. Robyn will be featuring her Roosters and Raptors series of art work featuring mixed media roosters resplendent in plumage and tangled in chicken wire to the straight forward acrylic paintings of the regal raptors of the Skagit Valley.
1009 6th Street, Fine Art Photography by Mark Gardner Studio
Following in a long tradition of fine-art photographers, I use the camera and darkroom to make images that interpret what I see around me. I will primarily be exhibiting color abstract work as well as b&w and color landscapes printed on metal or fine-art paper. Work printed on paper is available as matted, framed or hand-mounted on wood panels.
520 Commercial Ave., Pelican Bay Bookstore & Coffee Shop
Robyn Williamson is a Plein Air Oil painter living in the Skagit Valley. The body of work that will be shown at Pelican Bay Books & Coffeehouse was painted on location during several weekly afternoon art adventures on Fidalgo Island. We will have our customary bites of Rosemary Sea Salt Rolls for sample. The coffee bar will be open for other purchases.
