Featured Artists
Beth Bridgers Johns
Photography
When Beth Johns retired from architecture and moved from Montana to Whidbey Island 13 years ago, she was immediately inspired to pick up her camera and photograph the landscapes and wildlife that stirred her soul. Her prints can be seen on her website at bethbjohnsphotoart.com and custom orders are welcomed! For each photograph, she works in the Photoshop digital dark room until the image reflects the emotions evoked in her by the scene. All prints can be ordered through the gallery website at various sizes, printed on canvas, metal, or archival paper for framing. These prints below will be at Artworks Gallery in July. Read More >>

Kelly Liedtke
Pen and Ink Pointillism
Art has always served as a form of therapy for Kelly Liedtke, a way to relax and recharge from her busy life as a wife, mother, and small business owner. Ordinary miracles found in nature serve as her muses. Her favorite art form is pen and ink drawing using pointillism, but she also creates using pencil, watercolor, acrylic, stone and clay. The nature of her ink drawings is generally full of energy and color while maintaining technical strength and control. Kelly invites you to get in close and see those details! She is an award-winning, internationally recognized artist who is very active in the current art scenes ranging from the US Pacific Northwest to Abruzzo, Italy. Read More >>

Andre Feriante
Photography of Historical Musical Instruments
Andre Feriante has devoted his life to music. Born in Italy, he began his musical journey with the Spanish guitar. After traveling in South America and Spain, where he studied with Andres Segovia in 1983, he settled in the US. He has performed professionally in the United States and internationally for over 40 years. In 2016 Andre moved to Langley, and his photography became inspired. His show currently on display at Artworks, "Stringstories", perfectly merges his two passions: creating beautiful music with a fine instrument and capturing its visual beauty in a photograph. He has collected and played these ancient relatives of the guitar in concert, exploring their wonderful and exotic sounds as well as finding them visually stunning and unique. Read More>>
