Redmond: A Visual History

Nine artists were chosen to participate in a private Redmond Historical Walk & Sketch Tour hosted by the Redmond Historic Society in collaboration with the VALA Art Center and guided by Tom Hitzroth, local historian and Chair of the Redmond Landmark Commission.  On the tour, the artist were inspired by Tom’s rendition of the fascinating history of the landmark buildings in Redmond, Washington. Then the artists were encouraged to personally and artistically respond to the tour in order to create work for an art installation at the VALA Art Center.  They were also encouraged to supply supporting artwork for a second art installation at the Redmond Library.

A reception for Redmond: A Visual History will be held at the VALA Art Center on Wednesday, July 17 from 6:00pm until 8:00pm.  During the reception, the artists will be on site to meet the public and to answer questions about their works of art.  The works of art can also be seen the VALA Art Center and at the Redmond Library during their business hours.

My work, "A Bit of Then in the Now" a 24" x 36" an enhanced digital photographic print on Canvas, will be displayed as part of the VALA Art Center Installation.  My digital photographic prints, "Waking Up," "Reflected," "Quiet Snow," and "Sunny Day" will be on display as part Redmond Library installation.
