"Zen & the Silent Voices of Critters & Trees" by Scott Moore


Urban Light Studios & the Seattle Arts Coalition presents:

Scott Moore's 
"Zen & the Silent Voices of Critters & Trees"

From Scott:

Come and see some of my paintings and drawings of critters and bonsai trees!

My outlook on life and influences on my art come from travels and experiences. We all draw on what we know, or believe we know. I believe my travels and experiences, which include various places in the US, Europe, Western Africa, Asia, have shaped who I am. I did my undergraduate work in Montana with exchanges and overseas studies in France and Africa. I attended graduate school at the University of Hawaii, and then moved to Japan in 1990 where I have spent ten years full time, and many more traveling back and forth. I now reside in Seattle.

I started college as a Fine Arts major, although I eventually finished with degrees in both linguistics and political science. Art has always been a part of my life.

In 2007 I started a fine art reproduction and giclée printing business called Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction in Seattle (Bellevue). My day job is now reproducing artwork for other artists and fine art photographers, which is not only an interesting job, but has an enormous impact on my own work, serving as a daily inspiration.

Opening Reception:
Friday, 10 November, 6-10pm

Encore Reception:
Friday, 8 December, 6-10pm

Part of the Georgetown Art Attack!

"I was born and raised in Newport News, VA and moved to Seattle in 2004. Art and drawing have always been an interest of mine from an early age. Having dabbled with painting over the years, I have grown a passion for oil painting. I use my own photography for my reference. I also like to paint a still life occasionally, though mostly for study. I like to paint figurative art that is simple, yet complicated, and like life-a bit surreal."

"Dead Ringers" by Heidi Estey


Otherworlds & the Seattle Arts Coalition present:

"Dead Ringers"
by Heidi Estey
Heidi Estey Art

Showing 14 September - 12 November 2017

I am an illustrator, artist, and craftsperson. I love combining artwork with mechanical things, making new fashions out of ancient visions, swirling past and future together into meaningful eye candy. I am also an avid fan of many other artists, and enjoy the spirituality of making, sharing, and living out my art. Inspirations include: Faerie tales, science fiction, Victoriana, animals, alchemy, weird but cute creatures, and subversive sociological themes (like ladies being free!). I have an annual showing at Gargoyles on The Ave in Seattle (in autumn, of course), and have contributed to many shows, galleries, and art events with my peers.
