Whatever she makes, she brings that love of repurposing the old and discarded, and adds a modern twist to build a story. Each piece she produces includes a description of the “ingredients” to help build that cherished connection to the past.
Dmitrii Patapov - “In my practice, I explore the relationships between light, space, line, and color in everyday environments, where visual elements carry additional meaning and emotional nuance. Through observation, photography, and sketching, I translate visual impressions onto canvas, transforming them into painterly forms shaped by memory. I primarily work in oil, also incorporating elements of mixed media.”
Haley White - Haley White makes unique jewelry focused on balance—balance between art and jewelry, motion and a moment, natural beauty and human intervention. Each piece serves a dual purpose as adornment and a miniature kinetic sculpture, both interactive and captivating. She’s always been fascinated by miniatures and interactive artwork, especially mobiles, and regards jewelry as the epitome of interactive art.

Liz Park - Originally from Pennsylvania, Liz graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006 with a B.F.A in Painting. Her medium for many years has been acrylic paint on varnished wood panels - she uses a simplified color palette, and plays with negative space - letting the wood grain show through to create interesting compositions, usually of wildlife and mountain scenes. If you see wood grain in her work - then that’s the actual wood grain showing through.
Maria Olga Meneses - Maria is a multidisciplinary Latin American artist who was born in Colombia S.A. and immigrated to the USA with her family in the 60s. As an Immigrant artist in exile, she creates works that can be associated with nostalgia, cultural traditions, ethnic myths and history from the old country, as well as her experiences as a displaced youngster who seek a safe home in the new country and who struggled assimilating a new culture. Maria graduated with honors from Central Washington University with a degree in Education. She also has a degree in Fashion, is an environmentalist and is interested in the relationship between art and mental health. One of her goals is to have her first solo art exhibition in the near future.
Maria Zampardo - “I create handcrafted jewelry inspired by the endless beauty of the sea and sky. My work highlights the organic elegance of natural pearls, particularly baroque and Keshi varieties, with their unique textures and fluid shapes. By combining these luminous treasures with vibrant, natural gemstones, I create wearable art that feels both timeless and deeply connected to nature.”

Marita Dingus - Marita Dingus is an African-American environmental artist. She’s primarily a mixed media sculptor who uses discarded materials, which represent how people of African descent were used during the institution of slavery and colonialism then discarded, but found ways to repurpose themselves and thrive in a hostile world. She incorporates recovered materials into pieces of art where possible and appropriate, and to mitigate waste and pollution in all her work.
Molly McCann - Molly Patricia is a PNW-based fiber artist who finds joy in crafting all things cute and cozy. She loves to crochet food and animals.

Her ultimate goal is to foster empathy and inspire people to care about wildlife, the environment, and one another through her art and written work.
Perry Shaw - Perry Shaw is a woodturning artist. He creates handmade hollow form vessels, bowls and other wooden products on a lathe in his small studio in downtown Auburn, Washington. He works almost exclusively with storm- or naturally-fallen trees and aims to accentuate the natural beauty of the wood with clean, refined forms. What he makes is what he sells.
Renee Sonnichsen - Renee Sonnichsen owns and operates Hardwear by Renee, a line of contemporary handbags designed with atypical items such as recycled hardware, inner tubes, and cables.

Dedicated to a life of creating, learning, and skill sharing, she began weaving brooms in earnest while homesteading in the San Juan Islands. When not creating, she is busy running after her rambunctious toddler.
Sarah Dillon - Sarah Dillon’s work explores memory and change through imagery and the physical act of painting. The surface aggressively develops, pulling at threads of setting, figure and narrative gleaned from old family photographs or current events. It ages. Intention and emotion scraped away to abstractly reveal painting action from below, obliterating what was present. Fresh mark-making, born anew.
Sarah Miller - Sarah Miller is passionate about fostering inclusivity, creativity, and community, and creating a space that supports artistic growth and innovation. Through her community driven project, SHOW YOUR ART, in the form of a comprehensive guidebook and outreach, she aims to empower new and emerging artists in Washington and connect them with local businesses and venues eager to showcase creative talent.
Stephanie Norby - “I have been crocheting for 14 years. In that time, I have increased my skill and learned many techniques that help me to create intricate and detailed soft sculptures. However, I also enjoy making toys for children. Including smaller and simpler pieces, like my fidget snakes. I enjoy crocheting, and I love to share my talents with the community, especially when my work brings a smile to their face as well!"
Steve Jensen - Steve Jensen has been a working artist for over 30 years. He comes from a long tradition of Norwegian fisherman and boat builders, growing up on his father’s fishing boat. His current body of work, “Böts”, explores the universal image of the boat.
Sydney McMaster - “My passion for art began with a deep appreciation for the diverse landscapes and vibrant colors of the Pacific Northwest. As a Washington native, I draw inspiration from the region's forests, rugged coastlines, mountain ranges, and especially Mt. Rainier, which has been a constant presence throughout my life. Entirely self-taught, I work in acrylic, watercolor, gouache, ink, and mixed media to create paintings, illustrations, and hand-painted 3D dioramas that celebrate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Through my work, I strive to honor God's creation and transform meaningful places and memories into lasting pieces of art.”
Tara Campbell - “When my mother taught me to knit as a child, I'm sure she never suspected I'd wind up crocheting skulls, but here we are. My goal is to bring a bit of levity and softness to a world that is too often heavy and hard.”
Taylor Cox - Taylor Cox is a letterpress printer, block carver, illustrator and proprietor of Coxswain Press, a small letterpress printing and book arts studio located in the Pacific Northwest.
