Opening Reception: April 7, 5-7 pm
Opening Sponsor: Cashmere Valley Bank
Opening Introductions: 5:45 pm
Join Gallery One in April for exhibitions by Kittitas county artists, Sarah Thompson and Natalie Lupton. Over 37 paintings ranging in size from mural to miniature by Sarah Thompson will fill the walls in the main gallery and mezzanine. Upstairs in the Eveleth Green Gallery, Lupton presents psy.kaH.de'l.iHk - an altered state of awareness, a collection of mixed media works on a digital canvas. An opening reception for both shows takes place on Friday, April 7 from 5 - 7pm at Gallery One. During Natalie's opening reception in the Eveleth Green Gallery, enjoy the music of Ellenburg's own Pearl Street Band featuring David Rawlinson and the improv talents of High Impact.
Sarah Thompson paints landscapes, flowers, animals, and people in a prismatically surreal style. Throughout her career, she has been in over 100 group shows and 18 solo shows. She has won many awards for her work and it is prized and widely collected. Sarah is a native of New Orleans and studied painting at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. She later moved to Seattle and was a student of Jacob Lawrence at the University of Washington. She has lived in Kittitas County since 1999.
"In my own work I focus on the spiritual reality of my subject, using the full spectrum of color. A repeated motif is the window, with interior and exterior space painted in creative harmony. Often my images are figurative and because many paintings are done as much from memory and imagination as from direct observation, a dream like structure takes form. I am most influenced by the early modernist painters, as well as by the work of later painters Anne Tabachnick, Edward Pramuk and Jacob Lawrence, all three of whom were my teachers." - Sarah Thompson
In Natalie Lupton's exhibition, "psy.kaH.de'l.iHk", she pushes the limits of technology now available to artists by literally pulling, pushing, pinching and swirling pixels on a digital canvas. The images were created using electronic versions of brushes and media, or by modifying either the artist's photographs or original art. Each design has numerous interpretations-- what will you find when you experience this altered state of awareness?
Natalie has been a resident artist at Gallery One since July, 2005. She is also a lecturer in the Information Technology and Administrative Management Department at Central Washington University and teaches retailing, advertising and computer applications.
