This May, PUNCH presents a survey of work by six (mostly) regional artists, who individually approach the notion of abstraction in their own personal and inventive ways. And though our clever exhibition title might lead one to believe otherwise, this show has absolutely nothing to do with a 1980’s psychological romantic thriller about a lawyer and his scorned mistress. But rather, this exhibition has everything to do with the visual vocabulary of non-figurative representation, made by six female-identifying artists who excel in their own territories of butt-kicking bad-assery.
Catherine Cook approaches the canvas with no preconceived plan; for her, the act of painting determines the final outcome. Her keen eye knows what to include and what to leave out. For Cook, everything we see around us becomes part of us.
Maria Cristalli lives is the woods and forges hot metal. Her sculptural work marries function and form. Aside from her custom ironwork, she creates studio pieces as well as large-scale public art.
Jen Erickson uses watercolor and oil combined with graphite to create subtle paintings of nuanced, atmospheric layers of information. For Erickson, her infinitesimal pencil marks appear as flying and fleeting bug-like swarms and serve as stand-ins for her own feeble attempts to capture and hold onto it all.
Kathy Guss throws ceramic pieces informed by the slip-glazed terracotta pottery produced in Italy and southern Gaul during the Roman Empire. In most ordinary households, these embellished vessels were used daily for food and drink. For Guss, the textures of the stamped and raised surfaces are meant to contrast and complement the smooth finish of the colorful slip glazes.
Robin Mayberry artistic practice revolves around exploration, particularly through encaustic paintings. The combination of pigments and hot wax, with its tactile and fluid nature, invites viewers into a realm where the boundaries between the conscious and unconscious blur, guiding us into our own wild hearts.
Christina Miller chases that sweet spot where nature and architecture coalesce. By combining walnut ink, paint on paper, and plywood substrates, Miller develops new relationships between the linear and the organic, courting visual stories and the charged emotions behind them.
Please join us for the opening of Fatal Abstraction on Saturday, May 4, from noon until 4 pm with live music from Roslyn’s own Micah J from 2-4pm in the PUNCH bar.

Pop-Cyclicle by Ron Evans @ Punch
2024-06-01 12:00 - 16:00 | Punch Projects, 10630 N Thorp Hwy, Thorp, WA, 98946, United States
Ron Evans
Pop-Cyclicle: Robots, rayguns & remnants from a time or place that likely never existed.

Ron Evans, a dynamic mixed-media artist rooted in East Wenatchee, is driven by an unwavering and inexplicable passion for robots, rayguns, pinup, mid-century design, and pop culture. While his artistic journey began with acrylic paintings and pen & ink illustrations, Evans has ventured into the realm of 3D artistry, crafting intricate sculptures from paper, wire and foamboard.
Within his creative philosophy, 1960s kitsch, nostalgic tacky motels, Saturday morning cartoons, and heavy metal album covers are elevated to the status of ‘fine art’. Evans strives to infuse his creations with both substance and a sense of approachability.
In 2015, Evans opened a tiny art gallery in his home called RadarStation. The success of these shows – focusing mostly on lowbrow street art and pop-surrealism – led to a downtown gallery/bar/venue which operated from 2017-2019. In 2017, Evans launched The Comet Magazine, an alternative local-centric arts and entertainment monthly which continues to grow in readership and coverage.
Pop-cyclicle showcases some of the investigations, interpretations and transgressions that occupy Evan’s creative mind. Please join us for the opening on Saturday, June 1, from noon until 4 pm with live music by the legendary Jumpin’ Johnny at 2-4pm in the PUNCH bar.

Upcoming Events on the PUNCH Stage:

6/01: Jumpin’ Johnny [acoustic jams from a legendary rocker], 2-4pm
6/08: Anjuman [classical indian/ afro-cuban fusion], 2-4pm
6/15: The Last of the Red Hot Mamas [jazz-inspired, country-sauced blues], 2-4pm
6/22: Randy Weeks and the Silent Treatment [soul/ americana/ roots rock], 2-4pm
6/29: Last Saturday!: DJ Grand Marshal, The Nightmares [punk /garage-rock], Datura [post punk/ goth rock ], 6-8pm

Monthly Song Circle
2024-06-01 18:30 - 20:30 | Leavenworth, US Hwy 2, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
Shine Song Collective presents a Monthly Song Circle.

Every month on the 1st – locations will vary.

What is a Shine Song circle? Together we will sing simple, heartfelt songs that invoke our inner most power. Our voice is a musical instrument…but also an instrument for healing, for mental clarity, for generating true confidence, and for the awakening of a heightened consciousness.

While many other musical events are passive – you listen and take it in, our offering is active. Shine song circles are all about how it feels on the inside, not about how it sounds on the outside, a safe place to express yourself. Be prepared for movement and soul connections too, through the power of our collective voice.

We’ll be singing old songs, new songs, loud ones, soft ones, funny, intense and tender ones. Yours, mine and ours. No experience necessary, all are welcome. Just bring your open heart. And some water.
~~~
S.H.I.N.E stands for
S. Sacred synchronicity in song
H. Harmonically holding space to heal
I. Inspiring innovative inner work, inclusively
N. nurturing new neural pathways for nourishment
E. Everyone elevates ecstatically!
