UP Front [art] Issaquah artist Anne Anderson has silk paintings featured at UP Front. This unique art form is similar to the watercolor process; however, the medium is quite different: silk, wax, and dyes. She enjoys the medium for its deep and rich color reflecting properties. Often inspired by primitive images, she also paints luminous flowers from her garden. Here is a magnolia.

Barbara Patera's recent solo showing which ended Halloween Day 2009, is a striking body of work confidently executed, compositionally bold, and masterfully laconic. Each image and title works at multiple levels simultaneously provoking meaning and doubt while leaving the viewer pondering Ms. Patera's insistent ambiguity. A powerful show of insight, creatively depicted.

In Susan Olds's lecture and slideshow, "What is Modern Art?" on Wed, Oct 28, 7 - 9pm, learn how the term "modern" came to be applied to art of the early 20th century.

The students work and experiment with color, texture, beads, and surface embellishments. Basic sewing skills are helpful, but not necessary (fusing is an option to sewing).
