ART BUSINESSES
1. Imogen Gallery
240 11th St.
Imogen Gallery presents a dual
exhibition with Kim Hamblin and
Christopher Wagner, two artists linked
by a background in farming and animal
husbandry. Hamblin gains inspiration
for imagery from her lifelong love of
the sciences. The focal point of her
work is not only use of imagery, but the
delicateness of pattern revealed in each
paper cut; painted surface and nails
further enhance pattern and texture.
Wagner, a sculptor, also focuses on
animal imagery within his work. With a
strong sense of whimsy balanced with
irony, Wagner brings his hand-carved
reclaimed wood pieces that depict the
close relationship between man and
animal. Utilizing milk paint he brings
his igures and animals to life, adding a
sense of play to his cast of characters.
2. RiverSea Gallery
1160 Commercial St.
Festivities begin 3 to 6 p.m. with
a jewelry trunk show featuring two
regional designer jewelers. Judith
Altruda from Tokeland, Washington,
brings a selection inspired by the an-
cient deities of journeys and crossroads.
Lucy Barna is a recent transplant to
Manzanita via Santa Fe, and brings
lively contemporary jewelry inspired
by springtime, renewal and growth.
“East of West” is an exhibition of
surreal paintings by Seattle artist Jef
Mihalyo. With a theme of the meeting
and melding of Eastern and Western
cultures in our times, the works in
this show are inspired by his travels in
faraway lands intermingled with the
wild otherworld of his imagination.

on the fabric,” she says. “I am currently

has long wished for art to satisfy visual
hunger in settings usually sterile and
practical by nature of their function. He
sees his work as a window for escape

chef’s intensity and playful control
of his medium. Meet the artist, and
share a bit of art, food and beverage
with him.

will help you reminisce on the days

churches battled for souls in tiny
towns,” Adam says. “Discover Oyster-
ville and Nahcotta in Washington,
through photographs taken in the fall
of 2015.”
