Hey all, we are super excited to introduce Woodinville artist Lisa Sheets! Her exhibit titled: "Easing Into Hope" is a truly engaging collection of recent collages. This work is so dynamic; humorous, contemplative, sincere, colorful, visceral in voice, it is not one to miss!
"Lisa Sheets' mixed media analog collages explore history, gender roles, and cultural norms, and how these things impact our lives. Sheets uses combinations of religious and historical iconography along with pop culture images to stress the sacred in our modern day lives.
For several years now, Sheets has been examining our common thread of experience with the recent pandemic. Sheets wanted to document how we are connected to our ancestors who battled the 1918 pandemic, and the tangible impact the recent pandemic has had on all our lives. Her most recent body of work places a firm focus on hope, joy, and renewal, Sheets is now committed to emerging out of the disruption and trauma, to move towards a time that can be new, fresh, hopeful; a time of growth and re-imagining. Sheets uses a combination of found/recycled materials, along with digital copies of vintage photos gleaned from advertising, family albums, and historical databases, Sheets hand cuts, pastes, layers, transfers, and paints to create her one of a kind collages. Sheets often uses repetition and digital manipulation of source images to emphasize key imagery and create symmetrical compositions." -L. Sheets, 2023 Discover more of Lisa's work@ www.lisasheets.com

FEMME LOCALE
FEMME LOCALE 6th Annual Exhibition at The Palace Gallery
A group exhibition of Kittitas County female artists.
"Kittitas County is alive with the creative work of female artists! For the last six years, Femme Locale has worked to host an all-inclusive, open-call show for women artists of all levels. The artworks in this show range widely, including sculpture, paintings, textiles, and others. Look forward to an exhibit whose styles and media move from traditional and subtle, to edgy and unconventional. This collective show invests in the creative process of women, and empowers them to tell their stories, reveal what is in their hearts, and share what lights them up.
To paraphrase what our organizer, Robin Mayberry, has said: The creative and generative force of women is the most powerful force on the planet. It is hurricanes. The cyclic rhythms of the seasons. It's the force that fuels the zygote to become a fetus to become a newborn baby. It's the aspen grove that covers miles from the roots of a single tree.
Please come experience Femme Locale 2023, and be a part of the power that fuels Kittitas County’s female artists!
