Debbie Daniels - Oil paintings

May 15 – June 13

Debbie Daniels is a self taught artist who creates large scale oil paintings of Pacific Northwest seaside scenery. Her current series of rock, water, and boat paintings portray the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands. Her paintings often are about freezing the movement of water in order to preserve that delicate fleeting moment in time. The goal through her work is to inspire people to see the details of the world; savor the color, texture, shapes, and patterns of life.

Since its inception in 1985 WaterWorks Gallery has a tradition of reinvention. The 2020 show schedule broadens the concept of the ART AiSLE. Monthly, the gallery hosts a recent body of work highlighting artists from the Pacific Northwest.

WaterWorks Gallery is proud to present Cathy Schoenberg. Cathy’s journey to her present floral based work is a very circuitous route, filled with lots of pattern and design. Her brilliantly colored oil paintings are scaled with larger floral shapes belonging to many seemingly familiar flowers.

The Long Way Home

Dana Roberts - Oil Paintings

06/19/20 – 07/10/20
Dana Roberts represents a generation of mature women painters whose works personify a smaller and quieter world.
For Dana abstract painting occurs outside and beyond words. A color suggests itself; a shape appears. An emotion is felt. The painting responds and shift, and this does not end until the painting has a sort of bounce. With this jump, the painting bridges the threshold from an inanimate object to a dynamic object.
Reception for the artist: Friday June 19, 5 - 7 PM.
