Both endeavor to reveal their love of nature and the surprises that Summer offers us all. Such a setting will be on view in the Gallery's display windows starting on 1st Friday, August 1st, and throughout the month. Expand your days of Summer by visiting the Gallery and viewing the fine works of art that will be on displayed for all to wonder and enjoy. Here is a sample of the works by both artists.

These elements are seen in the following examples created by Pam.

You can readily see that Pam does accomplish what she sets out to do as viewed in the art works above. Yet she also avidly works in pastels to focus on the subject pictured.
To reveal the power and majesty that we all can enjoy, Pam Walker gives us that view by capturing a dynamic action of the moment to bring out the stately beauty that passes so quickly in time. This is so apply seen in the following images.

David C. Willis

 |
| "Foxgloves" |
A versatile artist who explores nature with different approaches and mediums. The results of David's art work are both abstract and realistic reflecting the diversity of the natural world. With Summer time in Sequim, David is fascinated by the splendor of colors, fragrance and textures surrounding him in his garden on the Olympic Peninsula. So it is no surprise that he eagerly wants to share with you what Summer has to offer. Using his art skill he has taken his brushes and canvas outside to paint what he sees so that others can enjoy his love affair with art and nature. Here are examples of his art work:
 |
| "Lupin" |
 |
| "Beachcomber" |
David was raised in the Philadelphia area and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He then took advantage of opportunities to apprentice with a master craftsman builder and an historical restoration expert where he was trained in the fine art of furniture making and finishing. Thus, when he is not outside painting or gardening, David uses his time to make furniture, picture frames and even volunteers designing and building live theater sets. These activities give David a chance to widen his artistic interests and expand into photography .
