Gallery North is pleased to present Passing Through, a solo exhibition of colored pencil drawings by Edmonds-area artist Nicole Caulfield, on view throughout the month of August. The exhibition features a collection of carefully observed scenes inspired by the places that make Edmonds and the surrounding Puget Sound region unique.

Rendered entirely in colored pencil, the drawings celebrate the quiet beauty of everyday moments—a ferry crossing at sunset, the view from a café window, a familiar waterfront bench, downtown landmarks, and glimpses of the shoreline framed by windows or natural features. Each piece invites viewers to pause and notice the places they may pass every day without a second glance.  “Passing Through is about the moments between destinations,” says Caulfield. “It’s about looking out a window, watching the ferry pull away, catching the last light of the day, or noticing a favorite view you’ve seen a hundred times. These places become part of our lives even when we’re only there for a moment.

Displayed along with Caulfield’s work is special guest ceramic artist Jon Anderson. Jon Anderson has worked as an artisan potter for about 12 years; his practice includes mixing his own glazes and a keen interest in surface texture and layering. His current work focuses primarily on soda firings but also on wood and pit firings to create visual interest on a variety of forms. 

Visitors are invited to meet the artists during the Opening Reception on Saturday, August 8, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., and again during the Edmonds Art Walk on Thursday, August 20, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
