Textiles, New Paintings!

Busy in the studio working on a new series of work for a show in 2011. Paintings and mixed media costumes...more to come! 'keep you posted.

Patri O'Connor

Patri O'Connor, a local Seattle artist and friend, came up with this creative project for her show at ArtsWest this month. Take a look at this youtube compilation of artists (including SAL at 1:22) that Patri creatively designed and produced. It was inspired by Patri's love of Joni Mitchell's music.

West Seattle Art Walk at Windermere

I'm showing Textile inspired mixed media paintings that are colorful, complex and lively during the month of June at Windermere in the Junction.

Some paintings use a palette of blues, and others warm and cool colors hoping to convey rhythm, texture and sometimes hidden images.

The West Seattle Art Walk is held on the second Thursday of each month from 6-9pm.

Celebrating our 3rd year at the studio!

The Studio in West Seattle is a wonderfully charming venue for creating art. Located on Beach Drive, it offers great light and visual inspiration with Talese and Sam's eclectic collections of art projects throughout.

'Found this video for your viewing. It seems to bring together fashion, nature and spirit. Enjoy!
