Art Up Phinneywood Artwalk: Fri, March 9 from 6 - 9pm






A1 Piano: 7020 Greenwood Ave N
Paul Knutzen is a local artist who grew up in Seattle and currently lives on Beacon Hill. After attending art school in Seattle, Paul spent over a decade in the video game industry designing and developing 3d environments. Much of his work reflects a strong affinity for architecture and the organic nature that can be seen in it.

“When I was a kid I was captivated with the Surrealists and how differently people could perceive the world. When I can’t come up with something to work on I’ll grab a camera and wander the different areas of the city, checking out buildings, trains, signage, and graffiti; the eclectic blend of people, dizzying color, and clamor of the streets is always inspiring.” Artist Present.

Bherd Studios Gallery (Greenwood Collective)
8537 Greenwood Ave N, Suite 1
Look Up Here celebrates 5 years of exhibits at Bherd Studios Gallery and features 33 Pacific NW artists who have been an integral part of the gallery and the Seattle art scene. In addition to the exhibit, a book under the same title features all 33 artists with a book signing event in April. The belief that the Seattle art scene is ripe for recognition has been Bherd's main mission to promote the promising talents of local urban and contemporary artists. While the gallery has shown well over a hundred different artists throughout the last 5 years, these 33 artists have been especially productive within their own careers and have been involved within the art community through creating events and supporting other artists along the way. Many of these artists have also participated in multiple projects, exhibits, and curated shows at the gallery, which truly shows their passion for their work and for their peers.

“The range of media is extensive, from aerosol spray, acrylic, and oil paint, to stencil, pen & ink drawing, collage, sculpture, photography, encaustic, and street-based installation and performance. In just five years, Bherd has created a rich mixture of both lowbrow and highbrow that they bring together under the “urban and contemporary” umbrella. There’s also a fascinating hybrid or cyborg quality to much of the flora and fauna where organic shapes are grafted on to humans, machines, or robots. Nature also appears as a series of scientific specimens, and there’s a wonderful, collective take on the 19th century (Victorian period), with gothic horror, ornate frames, and steampunk paraphernalia.” David Francis (excerpted from Look Up Here, the book)

Featuring: 179, Carlos Aguilar, Michelle Anderst, Debbie Bianchi, Zach Bohnenkamp, Chris Brett, Jenn Brisson, Mike Capp, Cash, Duffy, Ego, Justin Kane Elder, Marty Gordon, Jeremiah Hammer (aka dear earthling), Justin Hillgrove, Ksera, Larkin, Jesse Link, ninjagrl, John Osgood, Augie Pagan, Kate Protage, Mat Savage, Chris Sheridan, Michelle Smith-Lewis, Kellie Talbot, Siolo Thompson, Sensei23, Solace, Urban Soule, Dan Voelker, Joe Vollan and Redd Walitzki.

Suze has been drawing all her life. After an initial undergraduate degree, she pursued fifth-year studies in printmaking and ceramics at the University of Washington. Her professional career has included the graphic design of printed materials and interface designs for commercial and prototype software applications. In the last few years she has devoted herself to the watercolor medium.

She carries her paints into Washington’s Cascade Mountains, the Canadian Rockies, by the shores of the Columbia River, underneath the overhangs of barns, to the ledges of the Grand Canyon – in short, throughout the North American West.

Tasty to host Anthony Angel Trunk Show: Wed, Sept 21 from 6-9pm




On Wednesday night, September 21st from 6:00 – 9:00pm Tasty hosts a Trunk Sale with the fine art jewelry of Anthony Angel.

Statement from the artist:
“The jewelry I create is influenced by my long history of being an artist. I have worked in many mediums, but making jewelry has been the most gratifying of all. This is because I get to see how my artwork compliments the style of the wearer. As I design each piece of jewelry I take into account the gems color, shape and even history. I handpick all of my gemstones to ensure their quality by selecting them by their clarity, color and cut. The final stage is to bring the design to life by constructing the piece of jewelry in gold and silver with the gemstones. I take great pride in the design and construction of my artwork and I know it will be reflected in the many compliments you will receive from admirers.”

To add extra flair to the one night event, Fly Girl Feathers will be offering feather & tinsel hair extensions, feather earrings and other accessories. Plus, Shelby from Stila Cosmetics will be here to enhance your inner beauty! Ah, did I mention Champagne Cocktails? Oh yeah, that too!

To RSVP on facebook visit https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=261188997235827

Gainsbourg: 8550 Greenwood Ave N
Best known for his surrealistic cityscapes and sultry portraits, Ethan Jack Harrington’s paintings provide viewers with a whimsical perspective of the constantly evolving world. As a plein-air oil painter, the artist captures scenes in-person, in real-time; when a subject earns his attention, Harrington sets up his easel on a sidewalk, rooftop or in an alley and quickly paints the area as he sees it at that moment. Influenced and taught by his father Jack Harrington, a professional impressionistic oil painter and illustrator, Harrington has painted professionally for 20 years. His intensely unique style and skill has developed into what is now an easily recognizable trademark among collectors.

Congdon, known for her use of florescent pinks, rich greens and aqua blues, gently infuses this palette into her paintings of icebergs and snowscapes—just enough to make you wonder if you are looking at a scene from another world entirely.

Marty Gordon, Greenwood-Phinney Artist, Published in "Masters: Collage" book!



I think we all feel that Greenwood-Phinney has a plethora of talented artists right in our own backyard. But the proof is in the pudding. Marty Gordon, who is a renowned collage artist and lives in our neighborhood was recently published in a book called "Masters: Collage".

The book showcases 40 of the leading collage artists working today and Marty is one of them. Each artist has an 8 page profile including text and images of some of their work. Marty Gordon's work is one of my images on the cover. The book is available now through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Collage-Major-Leading-Artists/dp/1600591086) or Barnes and Noble (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Masters/Lark-Books/e/9781600591082).

Tasty, owned by Sheri Hauser, is new to the Greenwood/Phinney neighborhood.


Just six months ago, an arsonist plagued Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood in a string of fires which completely destroyed several businesses.

Today, like the phoenix painted on a new North 85th Street mural, Greenwood-Phinney is rising from the ashes. New businesses have opened all along Greenwood Avenue North, including Tasty, Assemble Gallery & Studio, Art on the Ridge (opening May 14), The Chocolate ShoeBox, Couth Buzzard Books (which relocated from its former location several blocks south, next to Ken's Market), Sasquatch Studios, Hazel Salon & Organics, Body + Brain Holistic Wellness Center and 8 Limbs Yoga Center -- just to name a few.

Assemble for a Cause: Sewing for Seattle Cancer Care Alliance



Taken from Assemble Gallery's Press Release:

February 17, 2010--Assemble Gallery and Studio invites friends and neighbors to gather for a cancer awareness program, Assemble for a Cause, every Monday night in March from 6pm-8pm. Participants will cut and iron fabric, sew from a simple pattern, and donate the cotton hats to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

Knit hats are often donated in the winter season, but summertime sun requires cancer patients take extra precaution. Kate Burt, local artist and wife of a cancer survivor says, “Chemotherapy drugs make the skin photosensitive, and sun sensitivity after radiation treatments will be life long…Even non-cancer patients should protect their heads with breathable hats or scarves.”

Assemble will provide all materials, instruction and refreshments; donations at the door are welcome. Assemble encourages participants across the country to sew at home and mail hats to the shop (email info@assembleshop.com for patterns). A drop box will be available for fabric donations and completed hats until March 31st.

Assemble Gallery and Studio made its debut in the Phinney-Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle in November 2009, with a focus on traditional craft as modern and relevant art.
