Donna Jean Perry, a collage artist and winner of the 2006 Arts of the Terrace City Purchase Award, believes collage contains an endless combination of materials and fabric. She’ll show what she means during an exhibition of her work in Mountlake Terrace.
The show runs through April 30 at the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Ave. W.
Perry said her artwork can sometimes dim the line between collage and sculpture when she creates highly textured pieces with rolled or crushed papers, raised sections, and metal fragments and wires. Perry has developed a technique for painting on fabric using dyes, acrylics, India ink and a wax seal.
Spring at last: Well, at least in photos.
These photos are by Claudia Walker of Everett whose exhibit “Spring at Last” will include local spring flowers in bloom. The show runs through April 30 at Autumn’s Framing &Gallery, 537 Main St., Edmonds.
From 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, the gallery will participate in Edmonds’ Third Thursday Gallery Walk; 425-778-5150.
More art in Edmonds: Nate Boxer, who works in mixed media, will show his art through April 29 at the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St., Edmonds.
Born in Tokyo, Boxer said his work causes him to look for keys that connect the different elements in a piece, though the pieces have a common element: they engage his attention in such a way that he cannot fully explain. Boxer recently apprenticed with a blacksmith to learn to make things out of steel with hammer and anvil.
Haunting photos echo Holocaust: Everett Community College’s Northlight Gallery is showing “Images from Poland,” through April 27, a series of photographs from Ilana Cone Kennedy’s trip to Poland with Holocaust survivor Thomas Blatt.
The gallery is at Everett Community College, 2000 Tower St., Everett. For information, contact Sandra Lepper at 425-388-9445.
Cone Kennedy’s exhibit of 20 photographs includes other moving images along with Holocaust images. The exhibit also has photographs of concentration camps by photographer Rudy Brueggemann, who donated his work to the Holocaust Center.
The Presidential Seal: The Knight Visions Studio/Gallery is holding a retrospective of letters from U.S. presidents and their wives from the past 50 years as written to Phyllis Leslie.

Painter Lance Nelson uses acrylics applied with a small collection of rundown brushes, paints quickly and keeps the shapes simple and with hard edges.
Nelson will show his work starting with a reception from 6 to 9 tonight at Gretchen’s Cafe Culture, 109 E. Commercial St., La Conner. The show runs through May 6. 360-421-0985.
Through children’s eyes: A photography exhibit that showcases the work of children whose parents are in prison appears this weekend at Seattle Center.
The show runs through Sunday at Harrison Street Gallery, Seattle Center House, 305 Harrison St., Seattle.
Each participant was in a five-week workshop series that used photography and assignments such as self-portrait, family, community and dreams to understand themselves and where they fit in the world.
