Evening View of the Blue Whole Gallery |
Rhythmic Figures & Concepts
Two members of the Blue Whole Gallery will be featured in the Gallery's windows during the month of March. Suzanne Eller, a self-taught artist, who finds inspiration in the medium of Assemblage Art which incorporates her love of collecting natural and everyday items; and Lynne Armstrong an accomplished artist who uses watercolor, oil, acrylic and clay to express her feelings and to capture a view of life in a timeless way.
Both of these artists reveal the complexity and diversity that Art can display and give the viewer an unexpected insight into an artist's imagination. See their efforts by visiting the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday March 2, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. and meet the artists as well!
Suzanne Eller grew up in the Pacific Northwest often exploring the beaches and forests of the Olympic Peninsula. These natural surroundings inspire her creative energies to put together sculptural assemblages from natural materials, textiles, rustic tools and other found objects that she has collected.
Elements in Sue's work are wide and varied and may include yarn, vintage tools, hardware, buttons, jewelry and other as shown in her work below.
"Happy Grasshopper" |
"Collared" |
Many of of Sue's works evoke images of birds, animals such as dragon flies, cats, birds, insects as well as themes of time and place. Each piece is carefully put together so that the image is both recognizable yet tells a story or relates a new meaning.
"Nearsighted Pheasant" |
"Migration Time" |
"Harnessing the Wind" |
Human imagination can be varied and diverse as it is with the assemblage art by Suzanne Eller. As a self-taught artist her work brings out a thoughtful yet diverse form of artwork that can be enjoyed at the Blue Whole Gallery on First Friday March 2, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. Visit the Gallery and meet the artist along with her creative sculptural forms.
Lynne Armstrong loves being an artist who relishes the time she spends creating works of art that capture a mood as well as the mystery within a given space at a moment in time. Lynne's style varies but centers on loosely applied brushstrokes and abstract compositions. Her work can include thick impasto strokes of acrylic, washes of watercolor and even clay images that are diverse in subject matter and approach as seen below.
"Eve before the apple" |
"Seventeen" |
Lynne strives to develop elements of light and movement as well as color and mood into her art work which transforms what is being portrayed. Developing these aspects helps Lynne to show reality and capture a view of what she sees and feels. That imagination can be seen in her portrayal of faces and figures below.
"Carmen" |
"Faith" |
"The Hat, Sunglasses & the Watermelon" |
Enter Lynne Armstrong's re-imagined world and feel the vibrant colors and shapes that she captures along with the feelings and emotions that are there. Visit the Blue Whole Gallery and meet the artist on First Friday March 2, 2018 from 5 to 8 pm. and see Lynne's expressive vision of living life through art.
Both Artists welcome your contact including interviews.
