Medusa in Furs

Red Raven Gallery is pleased to present

 a show of Spectacular Beauty

We Welcome the incomparable talent of Jel ena, Serbian multi media artist all the way from her adopted home of Los Angeles.  Jel Ena's work displays a mastery of the figure and color. Her style is unmistakable and remarkably unique in its vision.  She works with graphite, colored pencil, pastel and paint to create creatures that are at once gorgeously fascinating and untouchable.  Emotion flows from their eyes and captivates the viewer.  

Pentinence

I am not the flesh of your penitence,

your fetishistic fingers will not pry

forgiveness from these lips.

you may rip out my heart

but it will not bleed,

there will be no pleasure for you

in my blood.

MAY IS ARTWAVE and YOUNG ARTISTS SHOWCASE

YOUNG ARTISTS SHOWCASE

The Red Raven Gallery has the honor of presenting talented young artists from the PT High School this May for The PortTownsend Artwave event.  Our gallery walls will showcase several up and coming artists work and  the proceeds of sales go directly to the student artists.  This is a great way to show your support for these talented artists before they graduate!  For a new artist a real gallery show is difficult to get into.  We wanted to give them a chance to see what it will be like to be involved in the gallery and talk about their work.

Curated by Michelle Garland and Laurie McClave

Michelle is a senior at Port Townsend High school and is curating this show as part of her senior project before Graduation.  Curating a show involves many things including, gathering the artists into a cohesive show, organizing photos, press releases, event listing, blogging and hanging the show.  

 

 We will also be having a fundraising raffle of work by the resident artists of Red Raven to support a scholarship fund for youth art programs in the schools.

The raffle tickets will be available before the night of the event at the gallery for a low,low price and there will be as many winners as we have prizes!!! 

Please join us for this amazing night of art and fun with friends and family and support the youth in arts of Port Townsend!

New painted works 

by Jaime Foster

“Originally from the Midwest, and after moving to the Pacific Northwest and being
surrounded by incredible beauty, nature has become my vehicle for creation. My work is inspired by natural formations and driven by deep emotion. When creating my mixed media work, I enter an explorative state; emotions immerse and are mapped with organic formations. I collage with fragments of paper, drawing, painting and staining with ink have become my method for steering memories and imagination through osmosis.”

 Jaime's work is a wonder to behold and must be seen in person 

to truly appreciate it's magnitude.

Jaime began her art career painting a series of doors with heavy emotional context. She uses collage, artifacts, acrylics, wood, clay, and various forms of media to present conflict in a series of stunning visuals. Frequent topics of her work revolve around human interaction with the natural world, both positively and negatively.
Jaime has been painting since she can remember, emerging professionally into the “Re-Modernism” scene in the early part of the decade. Optimistic is not a word usually associated with modern art. Jaime Foster appears to be a major frontrunner attempting to introduce the concept of fun back into the art world.

Sculptural works in clay

 White wolf
by Sarah Fitch

Red Ravens' resident artist Sarah Fitchs' work in clay centers around the flora and the fauna that surrounds us.  Carving pieces in ceramic clay and painting with different glazes and even glass, she embellishes natural forms with figures of horses,ravens,wolves,dragonflies and other creatures to create works of art that resonate with our animal selves.  Sarahs' love for animals shines through in her artwork and her daily life, and her pieces are at once whimsical and serious.  Come see Sarahs newest completed works on the walls of the Red Raven this weekend.
