The creative works of Stephen Cunliffe and Anne Schneider will be on display at the Port Townsend Gallery in August as part of a joint featured artist exhibition, “Line, Form & Color.”
Cunliffe has been a national award-winning nature photographer for many years.
“Photography is often thought of as capturing a specific subject, a bird, a forest, or a mountain, but within nature, and some man-made scenes, there is an innate graphic design of line, form and color, which becomes a work of art,” said gallery spokesman Mitchel Osborne. “Images of these designs will be the theme of the work that Stephen displays in August.”
Cunliffe reportedly donates the proceeds of his sales at the Port Townsend Gallery to the Jefferson Land Trust, and to the Port Townsend Marine Science Center.
After five months of sheltering in place, mixed media artist Schneider said she considers herself an “Artist in Residence.”
“This opportunity to spend more time observing the natural environment around her home has translated into her interesting use of colors in her abstract views of the sunsets, sunrises, clouds, sea and woods around her,” Osborne said. “The flow of changes during the day and how the colors interact are represented in her recent art.”
Schneider’s art merges acrylic paint and papers on the canvas to create textures, both imagined and real, to provide depth and perceived motion to the work, Osborne said.
Her abstract “A New Day” depicts an abstract sunrise as seen through her window. “Sunset” is a mix of the vibrant colors on the horizon and the flow of the reflected colors on the sea.
Schneider has been a member of the Port Townsend Art Gallery for the past four years. Her art is currently in the Sequim Arts Advisory digital show and on exhibit in Portland, Oregon at the Hampton Hotel Art Gallery.
The gallery is located at 715 Water St. and is open from 12 to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday. and Sunday.
