Kristen Gill will be showcasing several fine art photography exhibits,
including the Kaleidoscopic Project, Norway People & Landscapes, and
her iPhoneography project.
Kristen Gill is a travel photographer who enjoys shooting 'from the
hip'. She doesn't spend a lot of time setting up equipment, but prefers to
capture spontaneous moments and movements in time. Combining her love of travel
with her passion for photography, she seeks to capture the essence of a place
from behind the camera lens. Kristen's photos tend to focus on lively street
scenes, wide-angled landscapes, architecture, portraits, people and culture.
"My vision is to examine photography's place in contemporary culture, as
well as explore its possibilities for social change. I have slept in caves in
remote forests in Brazil, lived with hill tribes in northern Vietnam, laughed
with the Irish over pints of Guinness, and documented street protests in Spain
and Argentina. My approach with photography is to capture diverse cultures, but
also to find the commonality between people."
Kristen shoots with both digital and film cameras, and also enjoys
experimenting with Holga pinhole cameras and various camera phone apps. Born
and raised in Chicago, Kristen has lived in Dublin, Ireland, and New York City,
but now enjoys Seattle as a home base. Artist Present.

“Ski Jump” by Todd Smith. The Leavenworth Washington Ski Hill has an iconic structure gracing its slope. This structure, a ski jump, is historically very rich. The history has been written elsewhere. The structure itself is now a ghost, falling apart. It sits atop the hill reminding the valley of thrills sought decades ago. The purpose of these photos is to attempt to show the effort put forth and severity of a hand made structure produced for such simple and childlike pursuits: Jumping and flying. A pure thing built by thrill seekers. A reference for the thrills and extremes we all seek today with our own childlike curiosity. Artist present.
Rockwell Realty: 8315 Greenwood Ave N

Tasty: 7513 Greenwood Ave N
Tasty opens “Creatures
Featured” Friday July 13th, a tribute show in support of the rebuilding efforts
in Joplin, MO following its one-year anniversary of surviving a devastating
EF-5 tornado.
The Joplin twister was the
country's deadliest single tornado in six decades. A year later, supported by
more than 130,000 volunteers, this American city is putting its lives and
community back together. The “Day of Unity” events and activities that took
place on May 22nd included a speech from President Barack Obama, a 4-mile
“Walk-of-Unity” through hard hit areas and public interactive art that
symbolized 161 hearts to represent those who died in the storm.
Inspired by the dedication
of a dear friend, (Dorothy Maples) who left her spouse in Seattle and is currently
serving a year with AmeriCorps St. Louis, to help rebuild her hometown of
Joplin, local artists and Tasty owners Sean & Sheri have produced a huge
group exhibit centered around the theme of RE-BIRTH. “It was the stories of
butterfly sightings that first peaked my interest”, said local artist, Eric
Osborne, whose mixed media pieces carry the signature Art by E.
Here's the best story we've
read that sums up the Butterfly People:
While Tasty is using its
connections in the art community to generate a body of work for sale, owner
Sheri Hauser says “it’s inspiring to read stories from around the country, of
how other Joplin transplants are rallying in support of their hometown the way
Dorothy has done for us.” For example, a contingent of bicyclists who left New
York City's Central Park weeks before the first anniversary on a Cycle for
Joplin fundraising ride, which was organized by a group of former Joplin
residents known as the Joplin Expats.
More than 30 local artists
are making original art for Tasty’s group show, named “CREATURES FEATURED”, and
all will be matching Tasty’s donation of art sales to support the rebuilding
efforts in Joplin, Mo.
On behalf of Dorothy
Maples, the residents of Joplin, and other volunteers serving with AmeriCorps
St. Louis and similar charity organizations, we invite you to join us for a
celebration of RE-BIRTH, at Tasty in Seattle, WA at 7513 Greenwood ave n.
during the opening night reception: Friday July 13, from 6-10pm in partnership
with PhinneyWood's monthly ArtUp & Chow Down night.
In the words of Joplin’s
City Manager, Mark Rohr: “Staying together as one has been significant in our
success in recovery efforts, and it will continue to provide benefits as we
work together and finish the rebuilding process for a stronger and better
community.”
Here's a video published by
AmeriCorps with regards to their efforts in Joplin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZApuJHy3GM

Starbucks: 316 N 67th Street
Art by Gregg Tralle. It all started with a blank
garage wall and how to make it more exciting. An idea of using bird houses
seemed the best solution. Painting prebuilt houses soon lead to
re-purposing found objects as house and trim and then choosing bright colors to
enliven the drab Seattle winter’s grey.
Soon the houses became too good to hang on the
garage in the rains and making them interior and decorative opened all sorts of
possibilities and options. Evolved quickly beyond bird houses these assemblages
have taken a life of their own with only birds remaining and then sometimes
even the birds are no longer a part of the final piece.
And so the hunt for the flotsam of everyday life
continues, Good Will Outlet and yard sales as well as donated bits and pieces
from friends. Artist present.
