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.
