Glass, drawings at Gallery North
“Color and Light,” the September featured exhibit at Gallery North, features colored-pencil artist Paula Parks and fused-glass artist Gayle Franklin.
Parks, a longtime member of Gallery North, is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America and its national exhibition director for the past six years.
Franklin is a fused-glass artist who enjoys creating both functional and sculptural work — everything from sun-catchers, dishes and wine-bottle stoppers to paintings she creates with glass. She has been a member of Gallery North for more than six years.

Edmonds art pieces cleaned
Artech, an art maintenance and restoration company, were in Edmonds Aug. 24 cleaning two local public art pieces.
Artech cleaned DuPen’s “Vision” and Cooke’s “Beach Launch.” The cleaning is funded by a donation to the Edmonds Arts Commission.
“Vision” was created by internationally renowned Seattle sculptor Everett DuPen in 1984. The sculpture was originally designed as a naked diver in reference to the Underwater Park, but local citizens objected and DuPen changed his design to the more modestly clad “Vision” looking out towards the water.
“Beach Launch” by Robert Cooke was created in 1998 for the new Brackett’s Landing South Park.
