MUSEO features oil painter Terry Leness | AT THE GALLERIES

This month, MUSEO in downtown Langley features the work of oil painter, Terry Leness. Her work reveals her fascination with the play of light on objects, as well as her love of deep, saturated color.  Leness’ subjects are eclectic and provocative: older houses, rundown buildings, vintage trailers, and eccentric landscaping schemes. Her paintings suggest the beauty and mystery of ordinary things; things that are often unnoticed.

Also this month, Dona Anderson exhibits works in fiber. In all her work, from her “Woman Warriors” to her contemporary basketry, she uses a variety of materials, including bamboo, round reeds, cloth, paper, wood, metal and screens.

Stained glass artist Gioia Boerrigter is featured at Artworks Gallery at Greenbank Farm through September.

Using lead, copper foil and plating techniques and working outside the traditional notion of stained glass, Boerrigter pushes the boundaries with her three-dimensional objects.  Each is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation.

Boerrigter has received numerous awards, including a three time First Place Stained Glass Professional and Peoples Choice award winner at the Glass Craft and Bead Expo Gallery of Excellence in Las Vegas, Nev. Her work is also featured in “Best of America Glass Artists Volume ll.”

Artworks Gallery is a cooperative of artists whose work includes paintings in oil, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic, handcrafted jewelry, color and black-and-white photography, fiber arts, metal sculpture, pottery, raku and vessel-gourd art.

A new show at Whidbey Pies Café at Greenbank Farm shows the photos of Linda Schwarz through September.

"Twenty-one Landscapes of Whidbey Island" is a collection of photographic images by the island photographer. Strong composition and a painterly style capture the timeless beauty of island scenes including mountain and water views, pastoral themes, barns, woodlands and flora.

Framed and unframed limited-edition prints are for sale in addition to the artist's Whidbey Island Photography Calendar available at local businesses and holiday fairs beginning this fall.

Belov, a masterful painter and printmaker, and Kamera, a seasoned textile artist, blend their mediums in a show that promises to be rich in color, texture and patterns.

Belov's prestigious career spans 35 years. She is well known for her portrayal of light, structure and color in luscious landscapes and stunning still life images. Her paintings create a conversation with the viewer in narrative scenes that play on the interaction between natural textures and manmade patterns. Belov's goal is to create a believable fiction, which tells a story and engages the viewer. Her paintings in oil and watercolor, as well as her monoprints, will be featured in this exhibit.

Kamera creates wearable accessories that transform cloth into art. The artist starts with pure white — a blank canvas. Finished pieces feature up to three elements: unusual color combinations, intricate patterns and sculptural elements.  Kamera employs surface design techniques such as shibori, dye painting and screen painting to produce beautiful and unique wearable art.
