Participating artists include:

• Annie Danberg

Danberg is a lifelong artist, in addition to being a marriage and family healing therapist. Visual journaling has been her passion and primary art form since 2004.

• Judy Danberg

Danberg has been crafting jewelry for more than 20 years and is drawn to beads that have a history.

Some of her jewelry features trade beads from the 1800s, French gold beads from the 1750s,Victorian glass lamp pulls from Venice, and vintage Swarovski crystals, all incorporated into modern settings.

• Carol Durbin

Durbin has always dabbled in one art form or another, appreciating the colors, textures and sensations of the world around her, she said.

She recently displayed a retrospective of her artwork, reflecting the time she spent in Japan, California and Mexico.

• Gary Griswold

Some of watercolorist Griswold’s favorite subjects are classic boats and marine and nature scenes in the Northwest.

He is inspired by wind, temperature, the smells of nature and travels to coastal areas for his paintings.

• Victoria Foster Harrison

As an encaustic printmaker, Harrison creates original, one-of-a-kind prints on a warmed palette with chunky pigmented beeswax. Then, she embeds the prints onto a panel and embellishes the prints with hand-dyed silk, rusty objects, paper ephemera and mark-making.

• Mary Lynn Laker

Over the years, Baker has worked with fabric, mixed media, photography, paint, metal, glass and wax.

• Gail Larson

Inspired by visual and performing arts, Larson’s paintings and collages have been accepted in local and national juried exhibits and invitational shows.

• Marti Mathis

The paintings and drawings Mathis creates are in a realistic style.

• Pamela Raine

As an accomplished watercolorist, mixed media artist and jeweler, Raine blends these diverse mediums into wearable abstract art.

• Jackie Van Noy

Van Noy began formal art studies at the State University College in Buffalo, N.Y. She continues to expand her visual vocabulary using collage, painting, calligraphy and drawing.

• Sharon Zablotney

When Zablotney retired, she started to explore the many forms of art media, including drawing, watercolor, acrylic and silver art. Sharon uses the lampwork process to transform glass into jewelry.
