Rainier in L.A.

If you are in Los Angeles this summer, or specifically in Pasadena, stop by the Pacific Asia Museum and see Kristina Hagman's series of color woodcuts, 36 Views of Rainier, on view at this fantastic museum through July 15th.  Since its exhibit at Cullom Gallery last June, this series has remained a favorite, and although Kristina is now based in Los Angeles, her work remains available in Seattle, at Cullom Gallery, including a few new urban views of Santa Monica, available now in the gallery, and soon online.

Hatchings Highlights

With just two weeks to go, I want to thank everyone for the great response we've had to the Hatchings series these past three months.  I have been pleased to have Rumi Koshino, Robert Hardgrave, and Brian Lane as guest curators for the run of these shows.  Their artistic vision has brought a new selection of art, artists, and their fans to the gallery, and has allowed me some valuable time with our new daughter, Summer, who was born at the end of March.  A big thanks to these three talented artist curators.

Below are a few highlights from the three shows.  And a reminder that Brian Lane's exhibit, Texture of Being, continues at Cullom Gallery through June 2nd.  Then it's back to work for me, and an exhibit of Eva Pietzcker's woodcuts of Washington State, opening June 7th.
