Exhibit shows 4-H youth can shoot to thrill

Artist Jolie Maki called the photographs taken by 4-H youth the kind of images that will “lift your heart.”

These images are compiled in an exhibit called “Zooming in on 4-H Youth.” Visitors can meet these young artists during a reception from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Arts of Snohomish Gallery, 105 Cedar Ave., Snohomish. The exhibit is on display through April.

The show features 25 4-H photography members of the Washington State University Extension-Snohomish County 4-H program.

The show is based on several elements such as portraits, landscapes, architecture and nature. All works will be framed and for sale. The proceeds will benefit Snohomish County 4-H clubs. For more information, call the gallery at 360-568-8648.

Interpreting Washington was the task of watercolor artists Joan Penewell and Bobbye Miller who will present their paintings in “Visions of Washington,” an April exhibit at WiseDesignz gallery, 2908 Wetmore Ave., Everett.

An artists reception is planned for 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday during the Everett Art Walk.

“You complete the story” is what LJ Duffy hopes to inspire where viewers are able to connect the dots in her paintings with their own personal life histories.

Duffy is an emerging artist from Woodinville. More than 20 of Duffy’s paintings are on display and available for purchase through April at Meyer’s Cafe, 1700 W. Marine View Drive, Everett.

Duffy’s vintage linoleum floor patterns in several of her paintings evoke stories from another era. Duffy says she tries to create a time-worn painting that hints at the common experiences and the common journeys.

Uncle Elizabeth’s Internet Cafe, 1123 Pike St., Seattle, is showing the work of Everett artist Loren Smedberg.

This two-month exhibit ends in May and deals in figurative studies, with many of the pieces produced while Smedberg drew with live models for the Lowell Art Works life drawing group.
