Northwest Printmakers

Printmakers – people who work with real live presses – already have a demanding process, whether they create blockprints, monotypes, or etchings. For this exhibition they do all that and in color.

Anne Lewis, who works in monotypes, says, "I value what is left in, and what is left out.  Most of all, I welcome the uniting of beauty and emotion. The printmaking process invigorates the dialogue I seek with composition. I ask the shapes, colors, lines, and textures to reveal themselves:  to express their energy, to express their nature, and to Ellen Wixted, Untitled, 2012. Monotype.

INSIGHTS: Work by Artists with Disabilities

Jean Pearson, Hands, 2012. Digital collage. Working with an energetic group of advocates for artists with disabilities, BAC has invited twenty dedicated and talented artists from the Kitsap Peninsula to be in a special February exhibition at BAC TOO. Our vision is best expressed by painter Craig Rogers, who said: “I hope when people see my art and respond to it they don’t think it’s pretty good art for a guy with a disability. I hope they can see the passion and integrity I put into my work.” BAC is delighted to meet this new community of wonderful artists!
