Venue: JOHNSTON ARCHITECTS pllc - 100 NE NORTHLAKE WAY, SUITE 200 In a continued effort to bridge the gap between the east and west sides of the Cascades, JA is excited to announce a series of exhibitions celebrating artist of the Methow Valley. February’s show is in collaboration with the Methow Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring people to care for and conserve the land of the Methow Valley. All proceeds from this show and event will benefit their conservation efforts. The opening of the show on Feb. 5th will act as a preview for a social & art auction on Feb. 24th at 7pm.
Imagine the Methow: Nature as the Muse, Landscape as the Canvas, is a mixed-media show inspired by conservation easements in the Methow Valley. Over the last six months, each artist spent time on properties that have been set aside by the Methow Conservancy and private landowners in an effort to conserve forests, farmland, riverfront and scenic views of the valley. The work in this show is each artist's response/reaction to the landscape. The Feb. 24th auction will also include additional small pieces of artwork along with Methow experiences, ranging from fly-fishing to cross country ski lessons. http://www.imaginethemethow.org/

I’m In the Mood For Love – Mixed Media Work by Kelly Keigwin.
Keigwin grew up in a small town north of LA, where she found endless inspiration in desert landscape before it was overtaken by urban sprawl. “Light, joy, love, passion, heartache, loss, social injustice, man’s negative impact on the world - anything that I feel in the pit of my stomach inspires me. I try to embrace the irony of the human experience, whether my experience or another‘s. In my world beauty is found in that which most people pass by everyday." – Kelly Keigwin

"For me, photography is a constant pursuit of seeing what I am looking at, listening to what I hear and then translating these into an image of what I have witnessed. I don't believe that I can capture a true slice of reality. It will always be bathed in my interpretations." - Paul Lebel
