Speaking of the Arts Council … The Arts Council of Snohomish County continues to present its 16th Juried Art Show.
This biennial exhibit features artists from the Puget Sound region and includes a wide variety of artwork, resulting in an eclectic and stimulating exhibit. The show runs through Aug. 16 at the art council’s gallery, 1507 Wall St., Everett.
Some of the winners of the juried art show include: Rick Cash of Marysville, who took grand prize for “Windows,” an oil on canvas; Joan Blacker of Everett, who took first prize for two-dimensional art for a mixed media piece, “The Moons of Amy Winehouse”; and Donna Perugini of Sedro-Woolley, who took first place in three-dimensional art for her porcelain piece called “Lifesong.”
Intricate details: Artist Ted Friedenson uses his camera to capture the bend in a flower petal or the point of a leaf, helping him, he says, discover nature’s intricate details.
A show of his work will be at Espresso Americano, 2702 Hoyt Ave., Everett, through Aug. 30.
The exhibit will present Friedenson’s work from nature shoots in Washington and will include landscapes, floral pictures and insect close-up shots.
More photo art: Charlotte Murray displays a different style with her digital photography, one that is influenced by nostalgia.
From 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, Sisters Restaurant is presenting “Images by Charlotte Murray” through Sept. 7 at 2804 Grand Ave., Everett.
Murray’s love for old photographic images comes out in the many pieces in her show. She has digitally toned the pictures to represent various historical darkroom processes that Murray felt were appropriate to the nostalgia of the image.
