Artwork Challenging the Senses

Evening View of the Blue Whole Gallery

A Visual Symphony 

     On First Friday, April 1, 2016 the Blue Whole Gallery will present an exhibit of artwork by two of its member artists, Bridget Baker and Karen Rozbicki Stringer.  Their work challenges the senses with compositions of imagination and feeling.  The result is a symphony of artwork combining meaningful experiences along with visual scenes based on observation and reflection. This is an invitation for the public to view and absorb different levels that each artist sees and tap into what life can offer to all of us without reservation. We invite everyone to an open reception at Blue Whole Gallery on Friday April 1, 2016 from 5 to 8pm to enjoy this array of visual experience.  


Bridget Baker
   Bridget is an abstract artist whose compositions evoke messages involving personal or familiar feelings that the viewer can discover in her artwork.   Not everything has to have a definition to be meaningful and the following sample works offer the viewer a chance to simply appreciate their beauty.  



"Sumac Shoals"



"Woodsmoke"

     As an artist, Bridget Baker uses mixed media such as acrylic, collage and watercolor to help her convey a complex idea or an abstract view.  That road can lead her onto various paths but her singular quest is to capture an original vision.



"Fracking the Dust Bowl"


   Share in Bridget Baker's challenging compositions that give the viewer the reward to wonder and come up with a personal meaningful interpretation of what they are seeing.  Meet the artist and examine and view her artwork by visiting the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday April 1, 2016 from 5 to 8 pm and throughout the month.

 Karen's passion is photography as a way of seeing and experiencing the world surrounding her.  She is presenting an exhibit entitled "Salish Sea Reveries:  Sequim-Dungeness" revealing images reflected in nature.  A simple driftwood log or a single bird or animal can be savored and saved in a single moment in time. 

 
"Center Stage"


 
"Change Is Coming"


    Using her skills along with observation, contemplation and reflection, Karen has the patience to savor that special moment in a scene or object in front of her camera.  Her images speak for themselves.



"Salish Sea Becalmed"

     Through Karen Rozbicki Stringer's photography the viewer deepens their awareness of what they are seeing and how the natural beauty of the Olympic Peninsula can be treasured.  Visit the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday April 1 from 5 to 8 pm in an open reception offered to all.  Meet Karen and share in her passion for her art that captures nature in a fleeting moment of time.
