SEE ART ALL MONTH DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND ART WALK ON SEPTEMBER 21ST 5-8PM

The art show “Early Bright” features the work of emerging printmaker, Hannah Mason and featuring ceramics artist Tomoko Suzuki.

Known for her black and white block prints and linocuts, Hannah’s new show, “Early Bright,” will showcase a new side of her work featuring old prints in new shades and hues to new block-prints and jigsaw linocuts in, browns, tans and golds. For Hannah, carving is an act of destroying and subtracting to create something new. Born and raised in the foothills of the cascade mountains, she draws inspiration from nature and seeks to inspire that love and appreciation of the outdoors through her work. She fell in love with printmaking for it’s graphic quality of lines and patterns; the repetitive nature of printing yet the chaotic imperfections of texture and ink. Soft and strong, power and grace, she’s drawn to the paradox.

Tomoko Suzuki was born and raised in Japan. She developed the desire to pursue art when she moved to the states 28 years ago. Since then, Tomoko went on to study printmaking to receive her Master’s degree in fine art. Her strength as an artist has been her flexibility to work across media and will to learn new techniques that best fit her artistic vision. She creates abstract figurative art in different disciplines such as drawing, printmaking, sculptures and installation. The plump figures, which she calls “Chubbies”, are the predominant icons in her art. Tomoko aims to express the strength of ordinary beings and hopes to inspire the joy of living life in the midst of daily struggles.

A reception will be held Saturday, September 9th from 1-4 pm and during the Third Thursday Art Walk where you can meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and view the beautiful display.
