ALFREDO ARREGUÍN
Primavera

Born in Mexico in 1935 and a resident of Washington State for nearly

five decades, Alfredo Arreguín has long been recognized as a major

force in pattern painting. His canvases are tapestries that mingle diverse

influences and images: the traditional crafts of his native Michoacan; the lush rainforests of his homeland and of the Pacific Northwest; Japanese ukiyo-e prints; sacred and endangered

animals; gods and totemic figures; icons like Frida Kahlo and

Cesar Chavez; and motifs including masks, eyes, and abstractly patterned

tiles. But Arreguín's paintings, for all the apparent flatness of their surfaces,

conceal an astonishing depth of perspective.

ROBIN MAYBERRY

Borrowed and Blue

In her show Borrowed and Blue, Robin Olson Mayberry uses vintage and hand-painted

fabrics to juxtapose old against new and tradition against modernity. In particular she

seeks to express the complexity of marriage, woven as it is on a loom of long history,

but always in a state of re-invention and renewal.

Robin Olson Mayberry is a fiber artist who loves to work with found and hand-altered

fabrics, using embroidery, dye and paint techniques, quilting and machine stitching.

Her work has been published in the national magazines Sew Somerset and Cloth

Paper Scissors. She lives in Ellensburg with her family
