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.

Open house for Kristina at Sidereal Press Tonight

If you are in Seattle tonight, come down to Sidereal Press, just south in nearby Tukwilla, to celebrate Kristina Hagman's recent completion of the woodcut suite, 36 Views of Rainier, and wish her well as she prepares to move with her family to Los Angeles next month.  This is a special opportunity to see all 36 prints hanging at once - a beautiful sight to see.  

We will sorely miss Kristina in Seattle, but can't wait to see what drives up and down the California coast line inspire by way of new print series.  Word is Kristina is considering a landscape series based on views from Highway 1.
