He grew up surrounded by the beauty of the region, and his mother exposed him to art at an early age, bringing him to her own art classes. Throughout his youth he pursued his interests in art, science, and architecture, and finally chose a career in architecture. He received a Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies in1980 from Washington State University and practiced architecture from 1980 to 2021.

Coldwell Banker Bain // Jan Powers

SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON JANUARY 18TH 5-8PM

Jan Powers is a watercolor artist who possesses a whimsical flair. She enjoys implementing fantasy into the realm of reality. Allowing a mysticism that leaves one to wonder...can it be? Not really certain in the beginning why she chose the medium of watercolor. She quickly discovered its unique qualities and embraced them. One of those being, that with watercolor, the paper is the light. The places of light that the viewer sees in a watercolor painting are thought out by the artist before any paint ever touches the paper. Watercolor, unlike other mediums, takes on a life of its own. The pigment will only go where the water takes it. And left on its own, creates subtleties and nuances that can only occur through the natural process of just being left to work its magic. The transparency of watercolor offers the ability to bring light and enchantment in ways not found in other mediums. Her art provides a voice of communication she refers to as an alternate language. Unspoken, but communicating her inner self nonetheless. ...Sometimes better than words.

Ryan discovered his love of self expression through art and photography while in community college in Southern California. He received his BFA in Fine Art Photography from the Academy of Art University and moved to Seattle. There, he became interested in Watercolor as a medium after taking courses at Continuing Education. He now teaches multiple continuing education classes at North Seattle College. In this show: “The Artifice of Nature,” Ryan creates these hybrid floral studies in which he hopes to express beauty in all its strange forms. These creations are a mix of Mandalas, science-fiction, and sacred geometry; all wrapped up in a thick skin of leather, for protection. Resilient in their natural beauty, they hope to be worthy of examination and praise. However, they have thick skins in case you disapprove of them.

SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON JANUARY 18TH 5-8PM

Becca Lavin started painting in 2020 when her 20 year old private massage therapy practice closed its doors for the last time. Becca's art is mainly abstract or representational abstract using every medium that is within reach. It is restless, colorful and textured with a mind of its own. If there is a theme, she hasn't found it yet. Perhaps, Freedom. By the time she finishes a painting there is usually a deep understanding that has surfaced, for her. She leaves the rest to the observer as that is one of the magical things about abstract. The utter subjectiveness of what comes through to the observer. "I love that about abstract!"
