Wood Artisans at Blue Whole Gallery

Evening View of the Blue Whole Gallery

Woodn't It be Amazing!

      A special group showing by seven wood artists from the Blue Whole Gallery will decorate the Gallery's windows with an eclectic array of work for all to enjoy and admire. Each artisan will display pieces that they have either carved, turned, painted or reclaimed from wood.  

Hurricane Ridge - Olympic National Park

   As a group these artists have captured the creativity and versatility of wood which comes to our community from trees and plants of the Pacific Northwest. This collection will be presented throughout the month of January beginning on January 1st, New Year's day.  An open reception will be offered on  Friday January 8, from, 5 to 8 pm where you can meet the artists and view their artwork in person  as part of the Sequim Art Walk.   Below are sample works of each artist:
