Port Townsend Gallery welcomes artists for August

Posted

Port Townsend Gallery will host two featured artists in August: fiber-and-bead artist Pat Herkal, and abstract artist Melissa Bixby.

Herkal’s work is a whimsical and colorful celebration of the natural world. Embellished with embroidery then beaded, her art features intricate hand-sewn details. She mixes fiber, thread, beads, and trinkets to create jewelry, sculptures, dolls, and more.

Bixby’s artwork features a love for the ocean, detailed in abstract, brightly-colored forms. Brought to life with the use of wax and fabric dye on cotton cloth, her images depict a beautiful underwater world. She creates landscapes, nature scenes, and sea creatures.

The Port Townsend Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and by appointment. The gallery is located at 715 Water St.
