During October, Crossroads

on real and imaginary adventures

interesting enough to spark imagi-

membership of diverse media,
interests and backgrounds to find
the themes engaging,” said Claire

Valley Artists Alliance.
The show begins First Friday
and will be open from 10 a.m. to 8

from other artists participating
in the group show,” said Crystal

for Crossroads.

Kemp has returned to painting
and writing full time after nearly
22 years as a professional fire-
fighter.
In her biography, she describes
her art in third person: “Despite
her discovery that it’s more daunt-
ing to bring to life the painting
that’s in her head than it is to run
into burning buildings, she lives
the creative life at Gamble Creek
Studio, formerly her small farm
west of Seattle.”

inspired painting.
