Dominic Gomez
I began my career as an illustrator and graphic designer in San Francisco and have lived in Seattle since 2003. In 1992, I began applying my skills as a visual artist toward a more personal direction. Drawing upon the lush natural and cultural environments of the San Francisco Bay Area where I was raised and now here in the Pacific Northwest, my work examines the interface of the inner world of people's self-perceptions and the outer world of their actual physical and social realities through the media of acrylic painting, drawing and monotype. I'm currently working with Sev Shoon Arts Center in the BallardWorks Building

Dan Carrillo
Since Dan Carrillo discovered printmaking in 2003, he has been creating extremely intricate and intriguing mezzotints. The subtle gradations and tones of the technique blend well with his favorite subject matter, the human figure. ³In my recent work, I portray the vast differences and circumstances that exist between individuals that live in and out of the real world.

Sara Lord Bugbee-Rush
Sara Lord Bugbee-Rush, currently a resident artist at Sev Shoon, took up printmaking last fall after a life time of artistic endeavor in sculpture, ceramics, oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, cold and hot glass work and jewelry making. "So far I am absorbed by intaglio but find block printing and mono prints just as fascinating. The process is a bit like a special gift, you work to open the box and out comes a complete surprise!" This latest block print, Lily's Release, is a loving tribute to whimsy, water and mermaids everywhere.

Diane Davis
Diane studied painting and printmaking as an undergraduate in the 1970s and continued, after being distracted for several years by a law career and motherhood, at the UW School of Art and later at Sev Shoon, where she rediscovered her interest in etching and monoprint. Diane is interested in working with layers of color and pattern to enhance mood and emotion in an underlying image. She appreciates both the technical challenges of etching and the flexibility and element of surprise that monoprint offers.
