IntroductionYou’re nobody ’til somebody loves you.

You’re nobody ’til somebody cares.

Since the legendary days of Sinatra, Martin, and Davis Jr., Vegas has been a hotbed for talent and spectacle. At tonight’s shindig we channel that spirit in spectacular fashion, bidding boldly on the incredible work from hundreds of local artists and letting it ride in support of access to art for all at Pratt Fine Arts Center.

Headlining tonight’s main event is a dazzling group of board, staff, and volunteers who lent their time and creativity to the planning committee. And if this were The Sands Hotel, we’d light up the marquee with the names of The Pratt Pack’s favorite crooners, co-chairs Adam Glant and Walt Riehl. We are humbled by their service and we thank them dearly.

Upping the ante is the Klorfine Foundation, raising the stakes for tonight’s Raise the Paddle appeal with a very generous $250,000 match. Help us show our immense gratitude by joining The Pack, giving generously and rising the meet the challenge in full.

Sip a martini with class or do like Frank and tip back your flask.

Gamble for a chance to win big and don’t miss the opportunity to double down!

Thank you for your support and may Lady Luck be ever on your side.

Cheers,

Bob Swain Steve Galatro BOARD PRESIDENT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Introduction

To Our Honorees, Richard and Barbara WortleyDear Rich and Barbara,People are honored for different reasons. Sometimes it’s for generosity of time and resources, sometimes it’s for service and dedication, sometimes it’s to recognize true leadership and community-building. With you, it’s all of the above. With you, it’s about honoring two incredible people who always show up.

You show up with boxes of donated art materials for youth classes and stacks of old newspapers for the glass studios. You’re there when the envelopes need stuffing or fundraising calls need to be made. You are the first ones in the dirt on campus clean-up day and the last ones to leave when setting up for an event. You are always there to support the artists at our events and to lend thoughtful insights to various committees and meetings. And who could forget the time that you conference called in to an important meeting from the back of an elephant, while vacationing a world away (true story!).

Perhaps the only quality that rivals your unmatched commitment to showing up is your ability to pair it with a genuine care for the work of the organization, for the well-being of its community, and for the support of artists. We are humbled by your true devotion and we all are lifted up because of it.

We are deeply grateful for your service. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for all that you’ve done for us.

Sincerely,

All of Us The Artists and Advocates of Pratt Fine Arts Center

THE VIVA LAS VEGAS PRATT PACK PHOTO BOOTH

Presented by Davis Freeman Photography.


Enter the Pratt Pack drawing and have the chance to own Chihuly’s Pink Soft Cylinder with Red Lip Wrap.

$100 / TICKET NO LIMIT PER PERSON

MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN

Chihuly’s Soft Cylinder series showcases a technique of drawing on glass using a series of colored glass shards, carefully placed on a hotplate and then gathered onto the molten piece before the final gather of glass from the furnace. This series has continued to gracefully evolve since Chihuly first began it in 1974. Inspired in form by the languid pull of gravity, and in design by the intricate weavings of Navajo blankets; this classic piece, created in 1989, is exemplary in what it represents of Chihuly’s artwork.

Hurry! Only 200 tickets are available and are sold exclusively at the auction.

About Pratt Fine Arts CenterPratt Fine Arts Center began in 1976 as a tiny art facility with a big vision to build a community of artists and an educational center providing the tools and the training to support the creation of art. Today, Pratt is making that vision a reality by being… The Place to Make Art!

Pratt Fine Arts Center is proud to serve as a lasting tribute to Edwin T. Pratt, a man who devoted his life to improving the quality of life for all people. Mr. Pratt served as Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League from 1961 to 1969. His assassination in that year by unknown assailants was deeply felt by many Seattleites who depended on Pratt’s calm leadership during a period of social upheaval.

For 38 years, Pratt has been providing the Northwest community with the opportunity to experience art. Pratt’s classes teach more than 3,500 students and its studios serve more than 500 working artists each year. Its classes, lectures and programs reach more than 20,000 people annually. Affordable studio space with an unparalleled array of equipment provides artists of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to learn, to experiment and to create.

101 The unusual properties of reactive colors in blown glass

have been guiding Andrew Horch’s most recent work. Certain colors, when combined, react chemically to create new colors and textures. To make the vessel, reactive colors were layered on top of each other, then the glass was raked to form unique patterns. Halos appear at the boundaries between different colors. These halos give the piece unusual depth and texture. As a glass artist, Andrew has been working exclusively at Pratt Fine Arts Center for the last three years. He is also an electrical engineer, a career that has made him attentive to qualities of precision and flow.

insignificant details, this image offers a space for imagination and emotion, re-inventing the world around it.

119 Cynthia Hibbard moves between painting and

printmaking, each medium informing the other. In printmaking, she is primarily attracted to the unexpected interplay between images, textures, shape and line. In painting, the way the paint comes to rest on the surface is her impetus every time. Cynthia exhibits at Shift Gallery in Pioneer Square. www.shiftgalleryseattle.org www.cynthiahibbard.com

120 Gwendolyn Santamaria’s artwork is inspired by

nature, growth, movement, and organic material. In her prints, she creates many textures using a variety of mediums and techniques which include: monotype, collograph, collage, encaustic, etching, lithography, and direct printing. Her work represents life in many different forms; however, while the images may be recognizable, they are not designed to depict true reality. Rather, she intends to maintain the appeal of abstract art and to leave each piece up to the viewer’s interpretation. www.gwenkearns.blogspot.com

121 Tyler Kimball is a glass artist living in Oregon and has

worked with glass for over a decade. Some of Kimball’s very first gathers were taken out of the furnace at Pratt Fine Arts Center. He was awarded the Jon and Mary Shirley Scholarship through Pratt in 2009. He will be forever grateful for the opportunities and explorations Pratt provides curious artists.

122 Carol Ross’ work has been described as ‘’loose and

energized.’’ She is most pleased with a landscape when it captures the mood and a sense of place. Casting Nets was developed from memories of watching storms wrapping the fishing nets into the sand at Kalaloch Beach on the Washington coast, with waves crashing onto the shore. Carol Ross’s paintings have been shown in numerous Seattle and Eastside galleries; collectors favor them for their often unexpected narrative.

16 x 20 (framed)

131 Ellen Cullom is inspired by the colors and patterns of

everyday life: the bright scarf of a woman at Starbucks, Christmas ornaments on display at the department store, the overhead electric bus lines against a brilliant blue sky. Ellen likes to abstract what she sees into simplified geometric designs that burst with color and maintain precise edges and lines between adjacent shapes. She is a largely self-taught artist, whose paintings are designed to create a light, bright, pleasant image for you to look at and enjoy.

132 In her photographs, Lily aims to create unique

worlds using traditional darkroom methods. Through the use of double negatives and negative manipulations (such as light leaks and hot glue), she tries to tell a story in her photos while also attempting to create images that are uniquely a product of the darkroom, which results in images that are impossible to recreate digitally. While she appreciates the benefits of the digital age, she laments the film apocalypse. The physical and time-consuming nature of darkroom printing plays a large role in her work. She prefers to photograph people, and her images maintain a very human presence even if no person is physically present within the frame. www.lilyidle.com

134 When Jane Edgley saw fused glass for the first time she

immediately loved it and wanted to learn how to make it. Research led her to Pratt Fine Arts Center, where she greatly enjoyed fusing classes. Most of her current work involves fusing multiple layers of glass to achieve 3-D depth. It is Jane’s goal to create beautiful and useful items that are unique and showcase techniques of glass handiwork that can’t be duplicated by mass production. Her work is always lead-free.

Hallie has been featured in several group shows around the country. She is a self taught artist. www.hallie-harris.com

138 This print is one from a body of work that Jan is currently

developing called Ansisters / Mancestors. The people portrayed in her prints are derived from snapshots Jan inherited after her mother’s death. Though not all labeled, Jan knows that these people are her family; grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, third cousins, close family friends, relatives by marriage – her Ansisters and her Mancesters. Ansisters / Mancesters consists of different printmaking techniques that include etching, linocut/woodcut, serigraphy, collagraphy, monoprinting, and a combination of techniques. She credits Pratt Fine Art Center for facilitating her vision, teaching her techniques, enhancing her style and inspiring her in her printmaking pursuits.

Scatter is a monotype based on photographs Becky took of her garden in the fall. It is a unique image built up of many layers of oil-based ink. The inks are painted on a Plexiglas plate using both brayers and brushes, and sometimes stencils. The process employs both additive and reductive methods. Paper is put on the plate, then run through the press many times to create the depth of color and overlapping shapes.

221 Ann Scott is an artist/educator who has maintained a

professional studio since 1982 after graduating with a BFA in jewelry/metalsmithing from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. In 2003 she received her Master of Arts in Teaching from Pacific University and has been teaching in the Columbia River Gorge since then. Her sculptural jewelry is lightweight and strong. She strives to create a balance between the edges of geometry and the organic form of the human body by purposefully creating shapes that are not perfect. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally since 1982. www.modernann.com

222 Good design peels away extraneous material and ideas

to reveal the essential. As an architect, Kristen Scott looks to simplify and support the essence of her design concept. In jewelry design, she’s drawn to the natural world, creating pieces that reflect the abstract pattern of nature. My Red Bauble is a playful piece with heavy old Venetian glass meant to move with the wearer and reveal different compositions. Hand hammered in silver with dark torch-made patinas that echo the age of the old African trade beads, her rustic pieces are all held with simple kinetic connections that shape movement. www.kristenscott.net

225 Making art is a form of meditation for Jennifer

Bennett. Sometimes she starts with the material and lets it speak to her, and other times she sees something in nature that she’d like to reinterpret in metal or other materials. The intimacy of jewelry art allows one to subtly be connected to both the person who makes it and the intention behind it. Jennifer is a fan of beauty and quiet revolutions. She is represented by Velvet da Vinci, San Francisco and Ragazzi Flying Shuttle, Seattle. www.dilucedesign.com

226 Kari Goldstein strives to create a relationship between

objects and a viewer’s memory. She draws inspiration from the nostalgia of objects from childhood and enjoys applying an adult context. She earned her BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005. She currently lives in Seattle and is an instructor at the Museum of Glass, and Pratt Fine Arts Center, and is affiliated with Pilchuck Glass School.

228 As a maker of hollowware, Sarah Perkins uses

properties of the metal: the plasticity, the permanence, and the dimensionality. As an enameler, she uses properties of the glass: the preciousness, the texture, and the color. Her current work is primarily bowls and ceremonial vessels because she is interested in the social implications and uses of these forms. Subtle differences in shape affect the meaning of the piece dramatically; an open form is generous and a tighter one more austere and self-sufficient. This bowl is an experimental use of gold leaf on enamel which she intends to use more in the future. www.sarahperkinsenamels.com

229 Mark Bennion is a painter and sculptor who has shown his work

across the United States, Canada and Europe since 1968. He lives and works on Vashon Island. Over the past 25 years, Bennion has developed a unique painting process, which he calls fresco, using oil, dry pigment on plaster, and paper on a panel or canvas. Strongly encouraged by mentor William Ivey (1919–1992), Bennion sees his ‘’frescoes’’ as a confluence of Eastern and Western techniques. The work on plaster is painted and sanded, and painted over and over, sometimes four or five layers but often up to 10 or 12 until the work is complete. Bennion is also a sculptor, exhibiting large-scale geometric welded steel pieces in numerous outdoor installations. www.markbennion.com | www.travergallery.com

230 Susan Walker’s studio is a renovated farmhouse built in 1889

in Issaquah’s historic Gilman Village. Her training has been continuous since her college days at UC Davis, where she had the privilege of working with the great American painter Wayne Thiebaud. Susan attended the University of Washington from 2008-2010 where she formed collegial relationships with both faculty and the emerging artists in her cohort that continue to sustain her work through art critique groups and collaborative exhibitions. Her work, Enter Knowingly, incorporates oil on canvas and collage. Once the collage is dry, Susan finds a spot, a place, an opening for a tiny oil painting. She chooses iconography from some of her prior paintings, most often doorways or windows. www.susanwalkerstudio.com

Using a technique developed by the artist, a single, continuous length of hand-dyed cotton rope is hand-stitched into a free-standing form. Her current body of work includes paintings informed by two opposing styles: sumi-e and gestural abstraction. The former achieves the greatest expression through the fewest carefully executed brush strokes, while the latter relies on the physical act of applying paint to be an integral aspect of the work.

237 Melissa Misoda has been blowing glass for 18 years

and co-owns Misoda Glassblowing Studio with her husband, Andy. She is inspired most by the spontaneity of her medium. Her newest work captures the process of flowing hot glass in a single moment. She strives to create motion in an otherwise motionless object, which influences her to further explore new color techniques in glass. With her special color blending technique, she hopes to further this visual flow through each piece by creating seamless fades from one color into another. www.melissamisoda.com

238 Trung Pham wants to depict the potency that lies within

the space ‘’in between,’’ which is a space of vital tensions and ambiguity. He uses biomorphic forms in his paintings to represent this dynamic interaction. These natural organic forms are embedded in the visible brush strokes of texture, yet the forms also suspend and integrate with their surroundings, thereby creating a sense of movement. www.trung-pham.com

Taken together, these disparate elements suggest the documentation of a disintegrating world. www.dawnendean.com www.shiftgallery.org

311 Jennifer Umphress’ work often draws inspiration

from her environment. Born and raised in California, she began working with glass in 2000 while living in Hawaii. Umphress now lives and works in Kingston, Washington where the Pacific Ocean continues to influence her work. She studied with Cesare Toffolo during a month-long apprenticeship in Murano, Italy, and has taken workshops with Robert Mickelsen and Janis Miltenberger. Her work has been shown at galleries nationally and internationally. Umphress was awarded the Glasscraft Emerging Artist Award in 2009. www.jenniferumphress.com

312 Delores teaches domestically and internationally and

has been an instructor at Pratt Fine Arts Center since 2001. Her goal is to see pâte de verre flourish and grow, avoiding the disappearance that happened earlier in ancient Egypt and the 1900’s in France. Taylor’s work can be found in the Microsoft, Aylett Survey, and the Sanbao Ceramic Art Institute collections. Slippery Slope is a high-temperature kiln-cast pâte de verre method, requiring a four-part mold to create the final piece. www.delorestaylor.com

313 Raised on Bainbridge Island, multimedia artist Carrie Goller

recalls being advised as a child to pursue a career in fine art, but it wasn’t until she battled breast cancer that she became a serious and dedicated artist. From her Bainbridge Island and Hood Canal studios she transitions easily within a wide range of genres and mixed media, including oil and pastel. Her work is held in national and international private and corporate collections. She shows in several galleries and museums, and has been featured on KING 5 TV. www.carriegoller.com

314 This work incorporates imagery photographed

by Daphne Minkoff in Italy, letters from her grandfather, and bee illustrations. By juxtaposing letters from the grandfather she never knew with images of strange and unfamiliar walls, doors and alleys, she explores the inexplicable connections and emotions one might experience with places seen only in passing and objects of sentimental value. The piece’s bee iconography speaks to the idea of communication and the critical nature of this communication to the survival of the hive. For this reason, the bees are a poetic parallel between the letters and graffiti. Daphne Minkoff is represented by Linda Hodges Gallery. www.lindahodgesgallery.com

315 The Frye series was inspired by a series of watercolor studies

of the namesake museum. Clean architectural lines and organic objects have been abstracted from pencil sketches and reinterpreted with washes of watercolor and graphite over panel. Encaustic medium adds texture, color, and gloss. Oil paint diffuses light from some areas of the surface. Jo Moniz presently has representation with SAM Gallery and Palette Gallery in New Mexico. She has also served as a lecturer in design drawing at UW’s College of Architecture. This background has served as a strong influence in her artistic work. www.jomoniz.com

316 In this piece, Karen Mahardy attempts to capture, in the

simplest manner, the energy of a long rolling wave as it crashes on the beach, and with it the feeling of land jutting out into the sea versus the expanse of the open ocean as it breaks land. Karen was the recipient of the 2012 Bullseye Glass EMERGE Best Newcomer and Academic awards. She completed her MFA in Glass from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2013 and exhibited with Bullseye Gallery at SOFA Chicago 2013. www.karenmahardyglass.com

Scott designs and forges small functional items for home and garden and works with other artists as well, but sculptural ironwork is his true passion. All the King’s Men is a series from the early 2000’s. With a new baby boy in the house, it was easy for Scott to title all his work with storybook names.

334 An ordinary whisk broom that Cathy inherited from her

fathers’ woodworking studio, now cast in glass, is a memorial and honor to him and to working with glass. Cathy Chase teaches regularly at Pratt Fine Arts Center and is a Career and Technical Education teacher at Wilson High School in Tacoma. She has also taught workshops at Pilchuck Glass School, Urban Glass, Museum of Glass and many others around the globe.

335 This bowl was made at Pratt Fine Arts Center during

Scott Benefield’s June 2013 workshop on cane techniques. In attempting to move beyond the traditional applications of classical Venetian cane techniques, he has wandered into territory that shares something with quilt patterns, marquetry, and collage. It’s all about pattern, and what the disruption of orderly intervals can bring to an otherwise static and symmetrical composition. www.scottbenefield.com

336 Colin Blakely received a BA from Williams College

in 1995 and an MFA from the University of New Mexico in 2001. He has exhibited in galleries across the United States and has received numerous awards for his work in photography. This piece is made from a series of work entitled Somewhere in Middle America, which focuses on the 400 and 500 blocks of Keech Avenue – an examination of the artist’s immediate surroundings. The work tells the story of a community that is holding on to a vanishing way of life. It is about a group of people living quite literally in middle America geographically, economically, and politically at a time when our notions concerning what that means are quickly changing. www.colinblakely.com

Jack rocks (Frank called it gasoline) was the primary fuel, supplemented with dry martinis. Dean Martin’s preferred poison was J&B Scotch, while Sammy Davis Jr. sipped amaretto and various vodkas. For this year’s Pratt Pack Auction, the Board of Directors have stocked up your very own liquor cabinet that would make this historic drinking circle quite proud! These bottles of popular liquors have been collected over the past few months from local distilleries, trendy cellars, historic bottlers, and personal favorites from Pratt’s group of esteemed board members, each with a sense of great taste and passion for well crafted cocktails. Whether your preference is straight up or on the rocks, you’ll be going home with an assortment of booze-tastic bottles that will make your next cocktail party truly epic!

Enrique FloresUNTITLED

etching with a la poupée 2007

28.5 x 48 (framed)

$800

14 Enrique’s work is equally influenced by life in a small

rural village of Huitzo, Oaxaca, Mexico and by such artists as Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, and Rudolfo Morales. His luxurious use of ink to define stylized forms responds both to the muralist traditions of revolutionary Mexico and to his own experience as a painter of gouache on bark papers. Flores has been a major contributor to the Oaxaca School of Art, especially in the style of “magical realism.” People, farm animals, and everyday objects, such as bicycles and the constellations, weave together in a seamless narrative style. People fly, animals put on ancient masks and musical notes become physical creatures. Enrique was a master artist at Pratt Fine Arts Center in September 2013 and teaches Pratt’s Study Abroad Workshop in Oaxaca every February. www.tallerdegraficaeflores.com

15 The natural world – its intrinsic energy and fundamental

properties – is dependent upon a fine balance. The equilibrium of positive and negative forces extends throughout universal concepts: dark/light, finite/infinite, soft/hard, and organic/manmade. The five elements – earth, fire, water, air and space – are the foundation of this universe, our bodies and our mental and spiritual selves. Maintaining the balance among and within the elements and understanding their energies is paramount to our survival. Catherine’s work explores the balance of energies in many cultures. Each is an offering to the basic elements of our delicate natural systems. Gua II contains the series of eight trigrams that make up the I Ching 64 hexagrams: heaven, thunder, wind, mountain, fire, water, lake, and earth. Courtesy of Abmeyer+Wood Fine Art

then at Rhode Island School of Design, where he received an MFA in 1990. He then assisted sculptor Howard Ben Tre for one year before moving his own studio to Brooklyn in 1991. His first job in New York City was in stained glass. Ferguson actively exhibited works nationally and internationally until his death from cancer in 2008. Ferguson’s artwork can be found in the permanent collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York, and the Ebeltoft Glasmuseum in Denmark.

Torch 2 invites viewers to look at the quality of light in a different manner. A beam of light shines from a classic flashlight body; the beam is made out of cast glass and supports the body of the flashlight – as if light is holding the flashlight rather than the flashlight holding a light beam.

Stopped short by mass extinction and wiped out by no fault of their own, these artifacts are clues of the past, and should challenge us to inspect the past and experience self-reflection about our responsibility for our planet. www.kellyodellglass.com

The details of the work and mosaic technique slowly emerge only when the viewer comes closer. Naoko makes art that is natural, playful, and lifts people’s spirits.

38 Over the years, as Juan’s images and subjects have changed along with

mediums and techniques, he has found that humanity is the driving force in his work. The fact that Juan was born in Cuba, the quick loss of innocence he experienced as a young person in a foreign place, learning a new language, and growing up without immediate family will always affect his work. Juan finds the politics that have made him an outsider intriguing, since they are almost always present, yet out of his control. The human condition, our fragile existence on this planet, the way we relate, love, isolate, and unnecessarily damage ourselves and the world we live in are fascinating topics, no matter how they are ultimately expressed. Juan is influenced by balance, perceived symmetry, architecture, growth and decay, weathered beauty, and the tug-of-war between the natural and the manmade landscape. www.juanalonso.info

Scott then spent four years in Japan as associate professor at the Toyama City Institute of Glass Art. In the spring of 2007 Scott received his MFA in glass from Ohio State University. He has taught workshops around the globe, including Canada, Japan, Pilchuck, and Penland. He and his family returned to Seattle in summer 2011 where Scott is a practicing glass artist and the Glass Studio Manager at Pratt Fine Arts Center. The inspiration for Scott’s design comes from the Japanese chochin (paper lantern). Traditionally in Japan, chochin can be found hanging outside of businesses, restaurants, and festivals to tell potential customers what is being offered. Many have simple graphics or lettering with names of food (ramen), characters from culture (Daruma) or simple words of wisdom (beware of fire in your house!).

45 Armelle Bouchet O’Neill is a French-born, Seattle-based glass artist. Attracted by Scandinavian design, she studied at the

Danish Design School on the island of Bornholm from 2005 to 2008. She moved to the United States in 2009, where she shares a studio with her husband and work partner, Sean O’Neill. She has been the recipient of many awards and scholarships, and in 2012, Bouchet O’Neill received the juror’s Grand Prize from Museum of Glass, Tacoma. Bouchet O’Neill’s work draws from the diversity of the rich and wild landscapes of the earth and what they inspire in us. Her work explores the repetition of line and its resulting forms. The lines are carefully laid out on the glass surface and the space between them is carved deeply using high-pressure sand. The series of lines will later reveal a landscape: a curve catches the light, evolves, repeats itself and grows organically, alluding to the rugged yet intricate formation of terrain. www.TraverGallery.com

$2,500

49 Liquid light moves with calligraphic intention and fluid and elegant gestures. A cooled glass form, now an object,

refracts and reflects light, thereby magnifying and illuminating our life experience. As an artist, Julie Conway’s inspiration is to combine glass forms with light sources to create experiential works that may brighten our physical space and perhaps transform our personal state. She is enchanted by the material that is simultaneously a solid and a liquid; its propensity to refract light is an essential part of her work. Illuminata, the name of Julie’s studio, stems from the Italian Renaissance group of thinkers and artists who expanded consciousness and brought enlightenment to the public. Their daring courage influences many of her artworks and challenges her perceived limitations. Included with this piece are LED components and a rechargeable battery pack for an easy, lighted display in any location. www.illuminataglass.com

51 Chandler Woodfin uses watercolor to explore the interference of

humans into the landscape. These places are beautiful and bright, but also sick. They bloom and flourish with overabundance, but the soil and water are frail. These environments are vulnerable. Chandler is a Seattle-based painter and draftsman. Using watercolor and charcoal, she examines what it means to be human in both its personal and social contexts. She focuses on the moments in between action, the overlooked difficulties of our day-to-day existence, and tries to provide antidotes of comfort to our common ailments. Chandler received her BFA from Columbia College of Missouri, and completed a two-year painting apprenticeship at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle. She currently teaches drawing and painting at Pratt Fine Arts Center. www.chandlerwoodfin.com

Layne KleinartTHRESHOLD 14oil on paper 2009 37.5 x 29.5 (framed)

$1,600

54 Threshold refers to the brink of consciousness when wonder, joy, and curiosity collide. The subject of adolescence is an ongoing

inspiration for Kleinart. She responds to that juncture of innocence and discovery, where emotions are often hidden by self-consciousness & uncertainty... feelings shared by many artists. This unique piece was painted with oil inks on rag paper, utilizing the printmaking technique of layering multiple plates. Layne holds fine art degrees in painting & printmaking from the University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. She is a former board member of Pratt Fine Arts Center & currently serves as president of the University of Washington School of Art Advisory Board. Kleinart’s work has been collected and exhibited internationally and can be seen locally at the Seattle Art Museum Gallery. www.laynekleinart.com

55 Micki Lippe’s studio is her safe place. She makes the rules. There

are no stop signs or speed limits. It is the place she goes to when life is good and when life is bad. Making jewelry offers her the pleasure of working with her hands building things. Micki hikes or cross-country skis almost every week. With the images from these experiences swirling in her head, she reflects on the beauty of the forest. The jewelry is a meld of the natural bounty of the Northwest and her personal aesthetic. More of Micki’s work can be seen at Curtis Steiner Gallery. www.curtissteiner.com
