*"Located within Postmark Center for the Arts"

*Josh Sands [ https://joshsands.com/ ]* [ https://www.amysimons.com/ ]
Exhibition Dates:* *October 26 - January 5, 2025**

We are eager to host Josh Sands in the Vault Gallery as our new artist for October!

*Artist Statement:*

"This piece continues my series of temporary public installations that showcases glass in the form of raindrops. Here the ordinary experience of a downpour invites viewers in to the space to contemplate, observe, and feel the sensations and emotions of such an event, in a displaced setting.

The narrative of this installation alludes to the importance of arts education and the need to shelter and support art during challenging times. Through the stewardship of local cultural centers like the Postmark and the City of Auburn’s programming, arts education and exhibition can continue to be provided and protected." -Josh Sands

**"Plastic Bodies 2 "by *Lisa Turner [ https://lisaturnerart.com/home.html ]
*Exhibition Dates: *October 26 - January 5, 2025*

We are eager to announce the arrival of a new Art on Main artist this October, printmaker Lisa Turner!

*Artist Statement:*

“In the artwork "Plastic Bodies 2", consumer objects are juxtaposed with the visual language of medical illustrations to create an environment. In some cases, these elements act as landmarks, other times they morph together to create Frankenstein like figures. Ultimately, they invite multiple interpretations while drawing attention to the inherent conflicts and confluence between the natural and the synthetic.” -Lisa Turner





*Auburn Community and Event Center Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529095 ]
910 Ninth St. SE*

Artists:* Lev Elkin | Kimberly Tepe
*Exhibition Dates: On view through* November 7, 2024*

Lev Elkin

*Lev Elkin* is a sculptor transforming found wood into art. "I find twisted branches and driftwood on river banks and ocean shores and strive to reveal their hidden beauty. Some pieces display their potential right away and others spend months or even years on my shelf before I arrive at a concept. Similarly, some take weeks and others much longer to finish. I hope my art brings joy and inspires others to see hidden beauty in seemingly ordinary pieces of wood."





Kimberly Tepe

*Kimberly Tepe [ https://www.kimtepeart.com/ ]* seeks to recreate textures and shapes found in nature. "I am drawn to nature. The textures enthrall me. The medium I respond with is fabric. With fabric comes thread and fibers, and a slew of techniques to manipulate the media into shapes. I am always experimenting to find the right combination to get the right texture. I have recreated trees with life like tree bark, leaves, needles, lichen, moss, and individual mushroom gardens that stand alone to remind us of what is outside our door."





*Auburn Community and Event Center Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529095 ]
910 Ninth St. SE*

Artists:* Wendy Wahman | Barry Roitblat
*Exhibition Dates: *November 7 - January 9, 2025*

We are eager to introduce two new artists at the Auburn Community Center gallery starting November 7th, Wendy Wahman and Barry Roitblat!

Wendy Wahman

Wendy Wahman [ https://www.wendywahman.com/ ]’s “Wenderings,” are improvisational, meditative drawings. Unplanned, with usually nothing conscious in mind, they begin with a line and go from there. Volumes 1 and 2 of, “Wenderings: to Wander (or Color),” along with her books for children, are available on Amazon. 



Barry Roitblat

Says Barry Roitblat [ https://artonpurpose.square.site/ ], "I am fascinated by the grand works of art created by 'Mother Nature' and enjoy turning nature’s art to a human purpose. I delight in the beauty revealed as an apparently non-descript piece of wood becomes a polished, functional art-piece. I have been turning for about 18 years and have had pieces on display at over a dozen galleries in Western Washington and nationally."





Penny FireHorse

*Cheryl Sallee Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529095 ]
**Auburn Senior Center
808 Ninth St. SE*

Artist: Penny FireHorse [ https://www.cosmicsparkdesigns.com/ ]
Exhibition Dates: On view through* November 6, 2024*

We are happy to introduce Penny FireHorse as our upcoming Cheryl Sallee Gallery Artist! "How my art is created… Most of my art can be considered impressionistic" says Penny, whose art utilizes bright colors and use of textures. "All my art is created on a soul level and it signifies my unity with the universal energy and flowing of my being into the artwork. I am inspired by many things including other artists, images, bright colors, emotional expression, and a desire of love, compassion and kindness. My art symbolizes overcoming obstacles within life to serve as hope and inspiration to others."
