Fall Arts Walk

Arts Walk was great fun (if a bit tiring) and we had between 150-200 people visit Furniture Works which was great considering the awful weather. Here's something on a few of the artists who showed their work.

Dale Matz, of Big Leaf Studio, builds furniture with a passion. He has a passion towards detail and design, but more importantly about the beauty of the wood. With years of experience building custom furniture and cabinetry, he is able to design and deliver functional, as well as artistically interesting pieces. To view his work, go to bigleafstudio.com or better yet, come down Friday night and meet him and his work.

Adrian Boomer is an Evergreen grad and retired teacher who has done and taught art ever since she could hold a pencil. Her large paintings are people, clothed and unclothed.

Ralph Boomer has been building furniture for over 40 years. He specializes in using sustainable local lumber and takes particular care to choose wood with beautiful grain. Among his favorite woods are big leaf maple , walnut and black cherry.

Patrisa de Francesca in a transplant from the "other Washington" via Arizona, California, Canada and Portugal. She loves nature and this shows in her photography. She also works in water color and would like to pursue an interest in encaustic painting.

Anita Adelika Eisenman is attracted to the reclaiming of the environment by nature. Some of her pieces are drawn from water, reflection, wind, and messages. She works primarily with pencil, paint, pastel, photography, encaustic, and clay.

Chris Johnson is primarily a three dimensional artist who also paints with water color and acrylics. He has worked in bronze, ceramic, fabric, wood, and steel. He has been involved with the artistic community for 30 years.

Chris, Dale & Ralph have left some pieces at the store for sale, so if you missed the show, stop by.
