Gallery North is delighted to announce the art show, “A Fusion of Friends” opening October 1^st through 31^st.  This show will include the creations of three local artists, Jan Flowers, Cheryl Hufnagel, and Lonni Flowers, who are collaborating their various talents to display how differently each of them views the world of art. A Reception will be held Saturday, October 7th from 1-4 pm where you can meet artists, enjoy light refreshments, and view the beautiful display. ArtWalk will be Thursday, October 19th from 5-8 pm. Please stop by for a visit to see this special show any time throughout the month.

Jan Flowers has produced a number of colored pencil works displaying her detailed focus on birds and other creatures. Jan’s more recently painted acrylics tend to be less literal interpretations, many produced as a result of her love of hiking and photographing Washington’s gorgeous geographic beauty.

Cheryl Hufnagel has worked in soft pastel for over 30 years studying with many notable local and national artists. Her rich colors and attention to light and contrasts have enabled her to win awards and earn signature membership in the Northwest Pastel Society. She is also a valued member of Seattle Co-Arts. Her goal is to “stir the viewer’s soul and provide a visual respite in a hurried an chaotic world.”

Lonni Flowers has been an active member of Gallery North since moving to the area 10 years ago. Her artwork previously won numerous awards in California and has been shown locally in a variety of local and regional exhibits. She is currently serving her 3^rd year as president of Gallery North where her watercolors, acrylics, silk paintings and jewelry can be seen. Lonni says she is an “an exploratory artist” constantly challenging herself with new mediums, techniques, and subject matter.
