CONWAY — Several Snohomish County and Camano Island artists are part of an annual art show that runs for another week in conjunction with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

Marguerite Goff, who lives in the Seven Lakes area and operates a pottery studio near Arlington, serves as director of t

he show. The Pleasant Ridge Gallery at the Rexville Grange is located about 5 miles west of Conway and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. through April 17 at 19299 Rexville Grange Road.

Goff’s artwork is well known in Arlington, where her ceramic salmon swim up the side of City Hall. Her work at the art show includes functional pottery and other pieces.

Nancy Dean, of Stanwood, shows her handmade wool hats decorated with embroidered birds. Molly LeMaster, of Camano Island, and Janet Hamilton, of Everett, show paintings depicting the Northwest and beyond. Arlington’s Lucinda Van Valkenburg presents bowls, garden tools and toys crafted from wood. Pam and Lisa Summers, who live north of Arlington, show an assortment of jewelry featuring their own glass beads.

Other participants include photographers Kathy Hastings, of Snohomish, and Sarah Arney, of Oso, and stained glass artist Gary Wold of Stanwood.

Located at the southern edge of the Skagit Valley tulip fields, the Pleasant Ridge Gallery art show at the Rexville Grange can be found by leaving northbound I-5 at Exit 221 and heading west through Conway on Fir Island Road. Just after the Skagit River north fork bridge, turn right at Rexville Grocery onto Summers Drive, which connects with Rexville Grange Road one block ahead.
