Part of this series was included in the landmark exhibition "Realists and Magic Realists" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1943. During this time, Helder was on staff at the Spokane Arts Center under the sponsorship of the Washington State W.P.A. Works by her close friend and fellow instructor, Robert O.

Coldwell Banker Bain // Scott Anstett

SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 15TH 5-8PM

Scott is a local artist living and working in Edmonds, Washington. He has a wide interest in subjects and creates portraits, figurative works, landscapes, still life paintings, and the occasional abstract. Scott is drawn to images that evoke, not just describe. Images that suggest movement or introspection. A gesture, or a thought. Images that make you feel something emotional or tangible. A place or a pose, or the texture of a thing. He strives to create paintings that will grab you and draw you in, that communicate something to you rather than simply show. Something whimsical, sultry, energetic or sincere. Something that will cause you to take notice, to stop and look...and maybe look longer...and then, like a good song, decide you’d like to add it to your collection to look at and evoke that certain something whenever you glance its way.

SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 15TH 5-8PM

Heidi’s art is inspired by Pacific Northwest landscapes, including mountains, forests, and sea. She began university majoring in Fine Art, focusing on Oil Painting and Sculpture. After moving from Ohio to Wyoming, pulled towards two different passions, she majored in Ecology and minored in Fine Art, while commuting to Colorado to teach snowboarding at A-Basin every weekend.

 While Heidi ended up in Ecology/ Genetics as a full-time career for 15 years, her love of art continued and meshed well with her love of mountain state ecology and adventures. In the past 15 years she has moved from Wyoming to California to Washington, with mountain and ocean terrain guiding her activities and shaping her inspiration source along the way. Eventually that inspiration led her full circle, to a full-time art career. Now Heidi lives in North Seattle.

Epulo Bistro // Becca Lavin & Wendy Rader-Konofalski

190 Sunset Ave, open Sunday - Thursday 4-8:30pm , Friday - Saturday 3-9:30pm
SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 15TH 5-8PM

Becca Lavin started painting in 2020 when her 20 year old private massage therapy practice closed its doors for the last time. Becca's art is mainly abstract or representational abstract using every medium that is within reach. It is restless, colorful and textured with a mind of its own. If there is a theme, she hasn't found it yet. Perhaps, Freedom. By the time she finishes a painting there is usually a deep understanding that has surfaced, for her. She leaves the rest to the observer as that is one of the magical things about abstract. The utter subjectiveness of what comes through to the observer. "I love that about abstract!"

Wendy Rader-Konofalski is a local artist who started painting later in life. A brush with death and seven weeks in the hospital and a long recovery may have worked a form of magic on her brain that opened up a portal into a creativity that she never knew existed. Wendy paints on canvas with acrylics, but often use mixed media elements such as charcoal and ink. She enjoys including collage in her work. She paints abstract works and landscapes as well as small florals. Wendy views her work as a sort of symbiotic relationship: herself as artist, and you as viewer.

Gallery North // Nicole Caulfield & Katie Caulfield

401 Main St, open 11am-5pm daily
SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON AUGUST 15TH 5-8PM

"Little Boxes & Liminal Spaces” a dual Art Show by Nicole Caulfield & Katie Caulfield explores the theme of nostalgia.

Through trompe l'oeil artistry, accomplished artist Nicole Caulfield masterfully renders everyday objects nestled within “Little Boxes”, inviting viewers to explore the intricate worlds they contain. Nostalgia permeates the atmosphere of "Little Boxes," with Caulfield's delicate handling of colored pencil evoking a sense of longing for the past. Vintage television frames showcase compositions reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons, populated by timeless toys and trinkets that transport viewers to cherished and sometimes flawed memories.

Emerging artist Katie Caulfield uses collage as well as found object jewelry to explore the theme of nostalgia in “Liminal Spaces.” Her images borrow from surrealism, with images from different eras pieced together to create an unearthly reality. Katie uses this mismatch of objects to exaggerate themes of femininity, gender roles, consumerism, and childhood wonder. But mostly she portrays if an “I Spy” book was illustrated by someone who listened to too much 90’s grunge.

A reception with the artist will be held at Gallery North on Saturday, August 3, from 3-6pm and at the Third Thursday Art Walk.

Koenig Financial Group (Securities and Advisory Services offered through Harbour Investments, Inc. Member SIPC) is proud to partner with the Edmonds College Art Department to bring Edmonds College artists to Art Walk Edmonds.

Vey Reutov is an emerging artist with a fire for depicting fiction and surrealism into her artwork. Her creations are a manifestation of dream-like imagery that transports the viewer into a fairytale world. Her second show, “Into the Inkwell II'' is a further exploration of ghost stories translated into drawings of ink: The ghosts we chase, the ghosts we run from, and the ghosts that are still with us. Vey believes it is these deep, haunting thoughts that are a reminder to take a deeper look within ourselves and reflect about who we are. Vey is a student at Edmonds College and a recipient of the Edmonds Festival of the Arts Scholarship, as well as the Ruby and Louie May Endowed Scholarship. She is on track to receive her associate’s degree in Visual Communications and Technical Arts in Spring of next year.

Shivam Bhardwaj is a self-taught artist who primarily works with oil paint and charcoal mediums. He has been drawing since he was a kid and started painting a few years ago. He focuses on all aspects of “painting”. He has done portraits and abstract work. He gathers his inspiration from other great artists. He learns by replicating their style and implementing it to his ideas. He enjoys the challenge of replication. The main thing that drives him is the idea of creating something out of nothing. In the future, he wants to try landscape painting and sculpting. Shivam is a graduate of Edmonds College.  He currently tutors EC students and will begin independent studies with an EC Art Department faculty member in the fall.

Carol earned her MFA from the University of Washington and her BFA from the University of Delaware. This body of drawings is on paper and are a mixture of water media: inks and acrylics. This is what she says about her studio practice: "Like words and experiences, there are times that a single line can be enough and others when the accumulation of them is what makes for a meaningful sequence.

“My drawings grow out of movement and are inspired by natural ephemera. Building a drawing is an exchange; I keep moving, staying in the moment, hoping to catch the liveness and the relationship that a series or phrases of lines, shapes and colors can make."
