Sharon Ballard "The creative process behind my paintings is always a learning experience, sometimes frustrating, always challenging but above all....most rewarding. Painting is an integral part of my life and has included large murals, artwork on furniture, and a vast amount of subjects on canvas including one of my passions, pet portraits. My art background was a true compliment to my career as an interior designer. I could always find a perfect piece of artwork for my client...and in many cases, it was right at the end of my paintbrush. The potential for paintings surrounds me daily.....what a joy!" @sharonballard5356 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudioartists.org ______________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Katy Fenley: "My passion is creating one of a kind, beautiful jewelry from sterling silver, glass, and semiprecious stones. I like for my pieces to feel as though they have a history and stories to tell. Growing up in the Southwest has influenced my work, but I am ever-inspired by nature and the beauty of my surroundings here in the Pacific Northwest." @bellavarastudio 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudiosartists.org ______________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Kathy Marty: "Using two antique floor looms, I weave eco-friendly rugs from recycled Pendleton Mills wool selvage (the raw edges trimmed from Pendleton blankets) and cotton warp. The Pendleton wool gives my rugs striking and dynamic color combinations, and the wool's textures produce a rich, luxurious feel. Drawing from my background in sculpture, painting, graphic arts, and textiles, I blend a colorful, modern aesthetic with the traditional art of hand-weaving. I love sharing the process and joy of my craft; and making something of beauty for others is deeply satisfying." @windyhillweavers 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudiosartists.org ____________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Kathy Beckman "I am a self-taught artist working mainly with acrylics and ink on canvas. I love creating one-of-a-kind paintings in my small home studio. My intuitive style of expressive painting often results in brightly colored, exuberant works of art. Most of my pieces begin with the creation of organic shapes. Through the process of multiple layers and selective deleting, a finished piece reveals itself. Currently my daytime job is that of a first grade teacher. I savor the minutes I can steal away and create something of lasting beauty, and hope my pieces bring joy into the lives and homes where they land.

John Furniss: "As a blind woodworker, the blueprints for any of my projects start forming as a picture held in my mind. I'm fortunate to previously have had vision, as it allows me to visualize the design and change it any way I need until it feels right. In my own way I still use sight by forming a physical object that originated from an imagined diagram. The journey in my own wood shop has mirrored my journey through blindness. Each project has brought its own challenge, much like navigating the landscape of a sighted world without sight." @theblindwoodsman 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weeekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudioartists.org ___________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Deborah Roberts "My inspiration comes from the love I have for animals and life. I strive for a colorful life and my art is for people who don't take life too seriously and want to just have fun! The mediums I use are colored pencil, pastels, acrylics, oil pastels, and watercolors. I love bright rich colors, so my latest pieces have been more colorful. I get great pleasure when my paintings and commission pieces bring smiles to my customers. Colorful pet portraits are my specialty." @deborahs_creations 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudioartists.org ________________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Cyndee Starr: "I am a mixed media artist and obsessive doodler. My doodles are very intuitive and carry me from paper to whatever I find that will take my pen." @shewhodoodles 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudioartists.org _____________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Chris Brodigan "I am a 37-year-old husband, father, and fulltime railroad conductor, who is trying to make everyone he knows their favorite cup. I obsessively hand make highly functional pottery. Each piece is carefully designed to suit the unique characteristics of different beverages and different people. I want to help people become more connected to the regular objects they used every day." @grasshopperpottery 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalstudioartists.org _______________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
Charlene Hale: "Having been raised in a family which valued self-expression through the arts, we learned several disciplines at the knees of our matriarchs, one of whom held private shows well into her golden years. Because of their influence, realism and abstraction were always juxtaposed in my heart. Over time I have grown to love the form of realism expressed through graphite, pen and ink, and photography. Ceramic is a wonderful mix of form and chemistry where the earth adopts renewed meaning and purpose. Most recently, I have come to admire the freedom of abstraction through glass and it's ability to be dynamic yet perceived as static.

Char McHugh: "I see the beauty that surrounds us in the Pacific Northwest, including the birds, the salmon, the animals, and the magnificent scenery all around us. I'm inspired to capture that beauty in the pieces I create. The fun of mythical creatures including tree spirits and Sasquatch have also found their way into my art." 2019 Washougal Studio Artists Tour Mother's Day Weekend, May 11th & 12th, 10am-5pm www.washougalartiststour.org ________________________ #washougal #washougalartists #washougalstudioartists #pnwart #pnwartists #clarkcountyart #clarkcountyartists #clarkcountywa #washougalwa #washougalwashington
