New Studio & Gallery space in Georgetown - Come visit!

I am incredibly excited and pleased to announce I am mostly moved in to a new studio/gallery space in Georgetown that I am sharing with two other wonderful artists, Karen Dedrickson, a sumi painter,  and Francine Moo-Young who does wonderful accessories in handpainted leather.  Since I work in textiles with a strong preference for silk, we decided to call our new venture Sumi, Silk & Leather.  And SumiSilkLeather.com will become active sometime in July.  We're still in the moving in and settling phase, so right now, our hours are M-F 11 - 4 and by appointment.  And of course the Georgetown Art Attack night, the second Saturday of each month, from 6-8pm. The building is an old bottling plant that has been turned into a mixed-use commercial space and is the northern anchor point for the Art Attack van loop.  Our address is 5628 Airport Way S, Suite 236, Seattle WA 98108.

We signed the lease 10 days ago and have been painting and moving since. Here's a picture of the empty space, pre-painting.

This wall has become mostly white with some darker green trim and that has really increased the light reflection and spacious feel of the space.  We've filled it with work tables and are in the process of hanging lots of art on the newly painted walls in preparation for the potentially overwhelming July Art Attack night which coincides with the 25th anniversary celebration of Sub Pop records.  Details here, at least for the music part of the day.  I have no idea how many of the music lovers and general partyers will wander into the building and visit during the Art Attack time but it should be fun finding out.  We are going to wait until August for our Grand Opening on August 10 so as not to feel totally cast into the shade by the silver jubilee so I hope to see locals at one or the other of these events.
