Uniquely Northwest Black and White Photography by Bill Voxman Opening Reception February 3. Exhibit runs through February 24. "Many images are drawn from time spent backpacking and fly fishing in his favorite Northwest locations; others are drawn from travels to Mexico, Europe, New Zealand, and Cuba. The not-so-loquacious Voxman "speaks" through artistic pursuits, in photography and in music. An avid clarinetist, he has played in chamber groups and symphony orchestras. He enjoys sharing his love of black and white photography with others. He uses a medium format camera for the majority of his photos, or a 35 mm for selected subjects. Voxman works only in "traditional" black and white, processing all his own images to obtain the final product." |

| Saturday, Feb 23 | Open Studio at the Dahmen Barn “Open Studio” means that artists come and work in the same area at the same time without an instructor, bringing their own supplies. It is a great way to network with other artists, share ideas, get critiquing if desired, and make some new friends in the art community. Every fourth Saturday of each month beginning February 23, blossoming artists, Sunday painters or experienced artists may come to the Dahmen Barn between 1 and 4 pm to participate. Resident artisan Katherine Clancy is coordinating these happenings, and will be happy to set up still life subject matter if participants wish. This is a drop-in afternoon that is open to those who enjoy painting with any medium or drawing but can’t find the motivation or space to work at home. For participants aged 16 through adult. There is no fee for the Open Studio, which will be on the calendar each fourth Saturday afternoon through 2008. Katherine (Kat) Clancy has dabbled in art for most of her life. She began a serious pursuit in learning watercolor painting in 1992, taking private lessons from Linda Wallace. She is a member of the Palouse Watercolor Socious and the Idaho Watercolor Society. Kat maintains a studio at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn. Contact: Leslee Miller 509-229-3655 or dlmiller@inlandnet.com for more information. |
