Nielsen’s PastriesSimply DessertsSugar Rush Baking CompanyTASTE Restaurant Upper Crust BakeryVios Café & Marketplace

L01 Kellie TalbotMotel

Oil on canvas (12" x 24")

Value: $500

“Jobs that produced tangible products of iron and steel are being pushed out, traded in grasp for the New. What remains is a language of artifacts in the American

landscape formed by signs and industry that communicate through word, design, typography, color and the state of repair. It is this language that

conveys society’s economic, political, social and moral aims.”

Talbot is represented by Bherd Studios, WA.

L02 Eduardo FernandezInvIsIble MorandI

Oil on linen (16" x 20")

Value: $950

“The starting point for this painting was my appreciation for modern master Giorgio Morandi. My approach was to paint entirely from life, using common objects in

natural light as a starting point to explore these ideas. For me, a Morandi painting inspires the simple joys of visual contemplation and evokes a timeless quality and

sense of serenity. I hope that my painting captures some of these qualities.”

Fernandez is represented by Nisus Gallery, OR.

L03 Jim Phalentwo trout

Charcoal on paper on panel (20" x 16")

Value: $1,000

“I’m interested in perception. I choose my subject based as much on their potential content as on their visual characteristics. I try and elevate common subjects by

engaging with them through careful observation and rendering. I often think that the subject is secondary to the act of painting when seeing the works of great artists.”

Phalen is represented by Dolby Chadwich Gallery, CA, Cumberland Gallery, TN, and Linda Hodges Gallery, WA.

L04 Terry Furchgottblack boy at the beach

Pastel over watercolor on Arches 140lb cold press paper (22" x 19")

Value: $2,500

“During one major period of my career I painted almost exclusively people of color, primarily African Americans. I sought out models with sculptural quality of their

features and an infinite variety of skin colors. The setting is the beach at Madison Park in Seattle, and the intense light combined with the busy summertime scene

resulted in a work full of dramatic tonal contrasts and rich color.”

Begins at 8:00pm Live Aucion

L05 Lois Silverthe bIg whIte cat

Oil bar (11" x 14")

Value: $1,950

“I draw with the oil stick, then rub the paint around with my fingers and then finish up the details with my right index fingernail. I hear the people in the pictures conversing with each other. Their moods affect the way

each painting is executed. Yes, the big white cat represents something. No, I’m not going to tell. It’s up to you.”

Silver is represented by Lisa Harris Gallery.

L06 Michael MagrathchrIstIna

Bronze (4" x 12")

Value: $2,800

“Christina is the first in what has become a larger Respite Series. I was seeking something restful and real in response to the often idealized, heroic figures current

in much commercial bronze. I am seeking the person within the archetype.”

Magrath is represented by Blue Horse Gallery, WA.

L07 Kurt Solmssennew year sunset


Value: $3,600

“I usually paint outdoors and I try to emphasize the design, color and light of the landscape, often with compositions bordering on abstraction. The pictorial

qualities of Fairfield Porter and Edward Hopper are strong influences in my work which records landscape views near my home and my daily life with my family.”

Solmssen is represented by George Billis Gallery, NY, and Adler & Co. Gallery, CA.

L08 Susan Bari PriceMezzo

Oil on linen canvas (12" x 20")

Value: $800

“An abstract mark is often better at conveying a thought or feeling because it does not represent a physical object. People often see abstraction as

the rival of representational art. It is actually its foundation and its structure. My own work is firmly centered in representation,

yet my connection to abstract design is fundamental.”

Price is represented by Atlanta Art Gallery, GA.

L09 Andrew Harechubby and tubby


Value: $2,400

“I had long admired the Chubby & Tubby on Aurora Avenue for its quirky construction, arched roof and ample storefront. After recently driving by the yet again repainted building, I was inspired to dig out my old photos

and recapture with brush and canvas and imagination the fun and uniquely Seattle flavor of this one-of-a-kind store.”

L10 Kimberly Trowbridgeoh My!


Value: $2,100

“This painting reflects an oblique vision of the self: the journey of one’s ‘cargo’ or ‘goods,’ in the form of a still life, toward the greater, unknown

self. The objects are metaphors for what is left after stripping-down our assets to the bare essentials needed for our life-quest.”

L11 Michael GrimaldiFIgure study (Male nude wIth arMs crossed)

Graphite on paper (17" x 14")

Value: $2,500

“I was trained within the classical tradition but I am interested in capturing light, form and space directly, in a way

that speaks to our modern condition.”

L12 Joseph LesserverMeer’s rooM


Value: $1,200

“Something intrigues me about the rooms that great artists painted. In this painting, I was in no way trying to emulate Vermeer’s painting

craft; rather I was painting in my own familiar way, sensing the light and composition, the color balance.

Live Aucion

L13 Rebecca AllanPond near lake washIngton

Acrylic on canvas (18" x 24")

Value: $1,800

“This painting was begun onsite, at one of the watery inlets connecting Lake Washington to the Arboretum, and was finished in the studio. The July day had

begun with rain, and, by noon, these marvelous Tiepolo clouds had filled the sky.”

Allan is represented by 2/20 Gallery, NY.

L14 Tony RyderModel wIth harrow


Value: $2,500

“The model is leaning against a heavy, wrought iron harrow, an agricultural implement designed to be pulled behind a tractor or an ox in a field after it has been plowed, so as to break up large chunks of earth. We leaned the harrow

against the wall, with the spikes pointing away from the model, in a pose that reminded us of the martyrdom of saints.”

Donated by Annie Rosen.

Ryder is represented by Jenkins Johnson Gallery, NY; Andreeva Portrait Commissions and Gallery, NM.

L15 Juliette AristideslIght & lIght bulb

Oil on panel (5 ½" x 7 ½" & 7 ½" x 5 ½")

Value: $3,600

“Joseph Conrad wrote that the aim of art is to snatch a moment from the remorseless rush of time and to reveal that rescued fragment to others.

These light bulbs, examined as sources of light and possibly truth, are easily discarded artifacts of our modern age.”

Aristides is represented by John Pence Gallery, CA, and Skotia Gallery, NM.

L16 Geoffrey LaurenceIshMael (FroM Moby Dick)

Oil on paper, mounted on board (18" x 12")

Value: $12,000

“I wanted to make a piece about narrator Ishmael who learns that Captain Ahab seeks one specific whale, Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale.

Artists have also to carry what may be a deadly obsession, which their family and friends also have to witness, so there is some resonance in the story for me.”

Laurence is represented by 101/exhibit gallery, FL.

L17 Chihuly Boathouse: Private Lunch & Tour for SixValue: Priceless!

The Boathouse sits on scenic Lake Union in Seattle, Washington, and is home to the hotshop of world-renowned artist, Dale Chihuly. The facility features

magnificent collections of Northwest baskets and American Indian trade blankets. Guests will also have the opportunity to view Chihuly’s unique lap

pool, and observe a beautiful saltwater aquarium. Visitors may also watch the Chihuly team of glass blowers create artwork in the Studio environment.

After the tour a catered lunch will be provided in the scenic Evelyn Room overlooking Lake Union.

This opportunity has been made possible through the generosity of Chihuly Studio. This offer is valid until March 4, 2012, and may not be transferred. The tour must be arranged at least ninety

(90) days in advance at a mutually agreed upon time. Tours, which last about 1 hour, can be scheduled between 10:00am and noon or 1:00pm and 2:30pm, Monday – Friday.

L18 Craig KosakuMber


Value: $4,600

“Umber is the final painting in a series of equestrian portraits inspired by the work of Hopi artist Charles Loloma. Loloma’s work included jewelry inlaid with colorful semi-precious stones and provided a model for the unique treatment in the horse’s mane.”

Kosak is represented by Giacobbe-Fritz Fine Art, NM.

L19 Norman Lundinstudy For PraIrIe FIre


Value: $4,500

“Just as one cannot have something ‘long’ without having something ‘short’ for comparison, one cannot have an ‘object’ without a ‘void.’ It is the void that interests me. The objects are not there to be described; they are there to explain the space. I don’t limit myself all the time, though, and, once in a while, I do use loaded subject matter.”

Lundin is represented by Francine Seders Gallery, WA; Koplin Del Rio, CA.

L20 Martha Mayer Erlebacherseated nude wIth golden cloth


Value: $8,000

“I have been a figurative artist for over four decades. I create narrative figurative paintings to critique contemporary culture using metaphor and social commentary.

This solo figure was painted from life in my studio in Pennsylvania.”

Erlebacher is represented by Seraphin Gallery, PA; Sullivan-Goss Gallery, CA; and Rosenthal Fine Art, IL.

L21 Lyle SilverkIng street statIon

Oil bar (16" x 20")

Value: $1,900

“I’m attracted to the old parts of the city — the old ornate red bricks that have withstood the elements for all these years and the overhead trolley

wires that clutter and abstract the sky. I like the early morning or late afternoon light that provides the dramatic contrasts and shadows.”

Silver is represented by Patricia Rovzar Gallery, WA.

L22 Keri StackPePPers


Value: $650

“Although many of the objects in my paintings are timeless or herald from an earlier time, my approach is to paint them in a contemporary, simple way. The paintings begin with an everyday object that, simply put, needs to take center stage. Other times, it’s a matter of selecting a cast whose members don’t always get along.”

L23 Ted KutscherbrIttany (west to PoInte du raz — baIe de trePasses)

Oil on board (16" x 14")

Value: $1,500

“There are times in your travels when you find a location so paintable that you can’t believe your good fortune. Happening upon this view of the end of the continent in

Brittany (Finisterre) was about as good as it gets. An Elysian two hours! With the late afternoon air and light coming off the Atlantic, I almost felt that I was channeling the

greats who painted here: Gauguin, Matisse, Whistler, Monet!”

Kutscher is represented by Silverwood Gallery, WA.

Value: $500

“My paintings explore the relationship between humans and our environment.”

L26 David DwyerbreakFast scene


Value: $1,200

“There’s a tremendous visual overload in our contemporary life — I’d like my paintings to offer a respite from this. I work with a

limited palette of pigments as I find that this approach helps to create an overall unity in the finished work.”

L27 Gary FaiginvIllage wIth a Plan


Value: $4,500

“After years of painting landscapes plein air, in my Imaginary Landscapes series, I’m re-exploring urban and rural landscape imagery, both hovering over towns

and fields with farmhouses in space and looking at them straight on. The combination owes something to the abstract.”

Faigin is represented by Linda Hodges Gallery, WA.

L28 Susan Bennerstromlacken strand

Oil on linen (20" x 16")

Value: $2,800

“Lacken Strand is a beach in County Mayo on the West Coast of Ireland. I made this painting following a residency at the Ballinglen Arts

L29 Patti WarashinaFeMale PourIng ewer

Low fire clay, underglaze, glaze (10" x 10" x 6")

Value: $2,000

“I often use the figure in voyeuristic situations in which irony, humor and absurdities portray erratic behavior, as a way of finding relief from society’s pressure and frustrations on mankind. It is my way of escaping the doubts and disharmony

of human nature and its routine, and role-playing scenarios to my liking.”

Warashina is represented by Loveed Fine Arts Associates, NY.

L30 Peter Van Dyck seattle FroM steve’s house

Oil on board (16" x 20")

Value: $2,500

“If your real window looks over the parking lot or the neighbor’s roof, your painted window can survey the rural roads where your grandparents

grew up or a wilderness untouched by time. A landscape has become a green time machine, a poster-sized park.”

Van Dyck is represented by John Pence Gallery, CA, and Grenning Gallery, NY.

L31 Michael Stasinosburger row

Oil on panel (12" x 12")

Value: $1,200

“This view struck me as an iconic American image of Everytown, USA, although it was done in Wenatchee one rough spring day.”

Stasinos is represented by Woodside-Braseth Gallery, WA.

L32 Mark Kang-O’HigginsuntItled

Charcoal on paper (23" x 18")

Value: $1,400

Custom framing donated by Annie’s Art and Frame.

L34 Melinda Hanniganthe global harMony

Oil and glass beads on panel (30" x 30")

Value: $2,400

“The inspiration for my paintings comes from the working side of the maritime world, a world I have known all my life: tankers, container ships, barges, rusty old bulk carriers. I manipulate color, composition, perspective and texture, and as a

result my paintings include realistic images that become abstract canvases.”

Hannigan is represented by Fetherston Gallery, Waterworks Gallery and SAM Gallery, WA.

L35 Tom Hoffmannsouth head

Watercolor on paper (25" x 37")

Value: $1,200

“If the basic formal relationships are true, the viewer will be able to meet me halfway and fill in the details. I know that I prefer to look at paintings that

offer me the opportunity to be involved in interpreting the subject.”

Hoffmann is represented by Fountainhead Gallery, WA.

L36 Meg HolgatelIly Pads vIII

are so ingrained in our being that they require only a subtle visual suggestion to bring about euphoric recall.”

MornIng kIMono
