This is a juried tour and 51 of Whatcom County’s fine artists and crafters will be opening up their spaces for the first two weekends in October (2/3 and 9/10) from 10am to 5 pm. I am participating again this year and will be sharing my space with the fabulous jewelry artist Jeni Cottrell. Color Guidebooks can be picked up at my studio now so that you can plan your tour.

      Sharon Kingston is a Northwest WA oil painter who uses the properties of her medium to create paintings that respond to both the atmosphere of her surroundings and poetry. This method of looking inward and outward and, in the moments of painting, finding her way on the canvas is her approach to creating paintings infused with poetry and the memory of landscape. The atmospheric element of her work is a testament to her desire to create spaces that are undefined, contemplative and allow room to reflect and accept uncertainty. Poetry, by nature open ended, is used both in the conceptualization of the work and as a part of the studio practice. The words of Rainer Rilke have informed Sharon’s work for many years, but she also turns to contemporary poetry when it resonates with her life. She uses layers of transparent color, reveals forms by concealing and unearthing pentimenti and suggests elements of landscape in her process.
