Blue Whole Gallery's
Artist Members
Recognized for their Artistic Skills
The Sequim Arts 39th Annual Juried show hosted by the Museum Arts Center at 175 W. Cedar St. in Sequim, Washington is taking place from May 1 to May 30 Wednesday thru Saturday from 10am to 4pm.. This 2015 juried show's goal is to promote the visual arts in our community and be apart of the City of Sequim's Irrigation Festival.
Blue Whole Gallery artist members, Debbie Sterk, Ryoko Toyama and Karen Rozbicki Stringer participated in this local event. Debbie Sterk's oil painting below titled "Ready to Load" won the Merit Award. The main objective of the painting is to catch the fading light on the Seattle Pier at the end of a work day. Debbie has definitely achieved this and won recognition for her painting skills.
Another Blue Whole Gallery member, Pam Walker, has been nominated for an award from the 2015 8th Annual International Color Awards. There were 7,358 entries received from 79 countries and her work received a high percentage of votes overall, putting her in the top 10%. A well deserved recognition for her as an artist. Below is one of two of her entries:
Also, Janine Hegy, a Blue Whole Gallery member, was awarded a contract from the City of Sequim to incorporate pavers for the new City Hall Building. Janine is a Stone Mason as well as a Jeweler and landscaper. Her task involved sandblasting dedications, names or expressions into each paver. Her work required exact centering, cutting and transferring to the surface and then placement. The results are seen below and will give the new Sequim City Hall an artistic and personal dimension to this public building.
Local and national sponsored events help support the arts so that artists can show their work and be recognized. Such exposure provides the general public access to artwork that can be viewed and appreciated. These situations and events help create cultural richness and value within our society.
