In June, Sev Shoon is pleased to present the work of guest artist
Alice Dubiel.
Please join us for the artists' reception on Saturday June 14, 6-9pm and an Artist's Talk on Thursday, June 23 at 7:30pm.
The Hazel Tree Mother is inspired by variants of the Cinderella story. This series offers cultural and environmental contexts to explore symbiosis, especially in the care of offspring and loved ones during fearful times. Cinderella’s loss of her mother and her subsequent adventures require her resourcefulness, imagination, devotion and persistence.
Alice Dubiel has exhibited her work in the US, Asia and Europe. She
works in paintings, prints, and installations. Her work focuses on
ecology and the politics of representation in Washington and
California. Her work appears in the collections of the University of
Washington and Swedish Medical Centers, the National Museum of Women
in the Arts and is represented in private US collections.

Amber Dye
Amber Dye's work is inspired by medical illustrations, books on medical oddities, animal photographs and a love for the human form. It is concerned with personal identity, whether awake and in dreams.
Bobbi Pearce
My work is inspired by the idea of endless possibilities. I have been influenced by art in one way or another all my life, first as a professional musician, then as a photographer, and finally as a printmaker. Through printmaking I have found the perfect vehicle to aid in my search for endless possibilities.
Michael Azzano
Michael Azzano's artwork deals with the ideas of control and the fragile quality of life. His mediums range however he is an avid printmaker.
Yoshi Nakagawa
There is great beauty in our everyday lives: a morning serving of a gleaming red pomegranate, a childhood memory of playing house with tools, learning constellations on a summer evening. This is what catches my imagination and propels me towards printmaking. Well-known objects become metaphors to share my appreciation and convey human experience. Since renting at Sev Shoon, I have mainly produced etchings but I also use relief, monotype, and mixed media methods of printmaking.

October: Instructors and Students II
Amanda Knowles
Amanda Knowles has taught at Sev Shoon since 2004. She teaches classes in ImagOn (photoetching) and currently teaches Bootcamp. She earned a MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is currently represented by Davidson Galleries in Seattle, WA. Knowles serves on the Board of Seattle Print Arts.
David Ferrell
In Sev Shoon Instructor Daved Ferrell's work, he uses gestures and poses to create archetypal narratives. He is influenced by mythology, symbolism, literature and in-depth histories. He often creates work from dreams and from memories distorted by dreams. His hobbies include knitting and bicycling.
Dan Carrillo
Dan Carrillo thinks mezzotints are the perfect medium for dark and dreamy visions. His imagery comes from my mechanical inclinations and affinity for portraits, especially when they are deliciously twisted.
Kate Sweeney
Kate’s current work combines printmaking, digital techniques and various painting media. Cut forms have always been part of it. She does not think in rectangles, but shapes. Like cave paintings, there are no borders, so form can move into the surrounding space, this excites Sweeney.
Kristin Will
Kristin Will’s series is centered around using the printmaking process and photographs to create images that more accurately capture the feeling of being there.
Lolo
Lolo’s prints were hand-pulled from a square of gelatin which she had mixed, cooked and poured into a modeling clay mould. She likes the softness of the monotypes, and how the plate starts to decay immediately and changes shape introducing randomness into the work.
Shannon Welles
Shannon Welles spends most of her time making photographs but does occasionally dabble in printmaking. She loves maps and exploration and finds the textures and imperfections of the ImagOn process just right for re-imagining lands.
Nancy Stentz
As a designer and teacher of graphic design, the balance and rhythm of Nancy’s art has always been important to her. Stentz trys to incorporate the elements of design into every piece she makes.
Paul Holt
November: Renters Show III
Theresa Connolly
I studied printmaking with Joan Stuart Ross for a year in 2006 and haven't stopped making prints since. The pictures I make are always about things that I love. Making a print gives me a lot of time to look at the things and think about them. In a way, my prints are thank you notes to the elements in this world that sustain me.
Lynn Rodgers
Lynn’s work is mostly linocut reduction and usually has something
to do with water.
Nate Sottrup and the Sev Shoon Print Exchange
This showing of work is a print exchange done by the following individuals at Sev Shoon: Mike Azzano, Jen Bauer, Theresa Connolly, Diane Davis, Amber Dye, Dionne Haroutunian, Paul Holt, Bobbie Pearce, Lynn Rodgers, Nate Stottrup, Kim Van Someren.
December: Renters Show IV
Judy Gregory
Art and photography have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Both mediums assist me in listening to and seeing the world I live in. More recently, printmaking has become a way for me to integrate contrasting images from the natural and man-made world that inspire my work.
Phil Stoiber
I honor self-expression and self-discovery, and I have the highest regard for rigorous honesty. My aim is to reflect these values in my work.
With torn Japanese paper, I use combinations of mark-making,
photocopy and written word to articulate personal qualities I admire.
Kirsten Wysen
Kirsten Wysen has been printmaking since 1987 and has been renting studio space at Sev Shoon since July 2007. She uses intense colors and Norwegian ship and mountain images to explore how different monotype methods can interact to create unique prints.
