Port Townsend School of the Arts’ Grover Gallery will present a special seasonal show and sale of small works by more 40 regional artists, “One of A Kind: The Gift of Art,” through December.
Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Thursday to Sunday, though selections from the show can be viewed online at
www.PtArts.org.
“One of a Kind” features art of all sorts, including wearable fashion, fiber arts, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, prints, cards and more and will present artists from all over the region, with sculpture from Addy Thornton, Michele Soderstrom, Theadore Olson and Tininha Silva; jewelry from Anna Frank, April Ottey, Janice Speck, Miranda Lynn, and Rachel Katz; illustration from Rick Myers, Chris Stevenson, and Darsie Beck; fiber and wearable art from Cathie Wier, Erica Iseminger, and Barbara Ramsey; paintings from Andrea Woods, Carl Jackson, Carolyn Woods, Chris Witkowski, Meg Kaczyk, Craig Hester, David Moore, Elisabeth Mention, Julie Read, Kate Flores, Kim Kopp, Larry Crockett, Linda Okazaki, and Meg Lodes; home goods from Eric Hanson and Virginia King; and photography from Kerry Tremain.
Members from the Port Townsend chapter of the Urban Sketchers will present framed illustrations from their varied collections, as well.
“This is an exhibit of many colors, sizes, shapes and textures! I am so impressed with the variety and the artistry that is truly one of a kind,” said Grover Gallery manager Toby Warren. “All pieces are available for purchase to take home right away, perfect for the gift-giving season.”
Several of the exhibiting artists are new to the gallery, including Brazilian-born textile artist Tininha Silva who said, “Weaving intuitively is at the core of my creations. I am always pursuing what feels right, exploring abstracted shapes of sea life, coral reefs, seaweed and anemones.”
Some familiar gallery artists are presenting new work in expanded genres, including fiber artist Barbara Ramsey.
“Over the past several years, I have become interested in botanical printing: making patterned fabrics using natural plant matter that I gather and process myself,” Ramsey said. “These botanical prints have become the basis for purses, pillows, and sometimes quilts. I’ve augmented my existing sewing knowledge by learning about straps, buckles, webbing, and all manner of purse hardware. My goal is to use fabric, plants, and notions to create three-dimensional objects that are not only beautiful but useful.”
Port Townsend School of the Arts’ Grover Gallery is located at 236 Taylor St.
