Expressive Imagination On
Two Different Levels
The Blue Whole Gallery will be featuring two artists whose skill in using elements of creativity differ widely due to their methods and application. Marilynn Evans is an accomplished digital artist who takes her photographs and using her computer and specific software changes the original image, adding imaginative elements to create a work of art. While Joyce DeCastro Volmut uses her sculptural skills to render animals and birds with lifelike realism which exemplify their character. Both artists have years of experience and their works will be presented at the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday July 7, 2017 from 5 to 8 pm. and throughout the month.

| "Lavender Sunset" |
Maryilynn Evans digital image above is an example of how an original photo taken by her at the Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm in Sequim and printed on aluminum can be enhanced by a little imaginative help.

The results highlight the elements of versatility and exploration in her work.

| "The Unicorn" |
Another example of Marilynn's work is the "The Unicorn" which delves into fantasy and allows her to use imagination to enhance a photo taken in the Olympic National Forest. She incorporates into the forest scene images of a unicorn, a peacock and a fairy thus creating a medieval mystical scene in an idyllic setting.

| "Kissing the Light" Rufous Hummingbird |
Joyce DeCastro Volmut is a sculptor and carver who is dedicated to capturing the essence of a bird or animal in a realistic manner, paying particular attention to facial expression, feather layout and general demeanor of the subject being worked on. Such interest stems from Joyce's interest in ornithology and is particularly shown in her renditions of birds such as the Rufous Hummingbird and the following below.  |
| "Oh Beautiful" American Bald Eagle |
Joyce's favorite wood is basswood which allows her to carve elements into her subject that captures their positions and manners that reflect their characteristics and thus give a realistic portrayal of the bird or animal.

| "And So I dream" Sea Otter with Cub |

| "Arctic Stomp" (Running Snowy Owl) |
