Michelle Li Murphy

Michelle Li Murphy - Barbarianheart Studio — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 22:58:24 +0000

I have been a professional silk painter for over 20 years now. It is a practice that continually challenges me, surprises me, and brings me great joy. My design studio is in downtown Wenatchee, WA.
My Process:
I start with white silk charmeuse that is known for its luxurious drape, deep luster, and strength of fiber. The silk is stretched, like a canvas, on a steel frame and held in place with magnets. The colors and designs are then applied directly to the silk surface, by hand, using bamboo brushes and traditional silk painting techniques. Each piece of silk is an signed original that is then cut and sewn into custom made wearables, baby blankets, scarves, capes or shawls.
I am available for private commissions, installations, and unique custom wearables. I also welcome opportunities to demonstrate my craft at events or teach small groups in my studio.

Renee Adams

Renee Adams — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 05:58:11 +0000

My work investigates the complex relationships humans have cultivated with the natural world. By sculpting symbolic and realistic facsimiles of botanical specimens, my work draws parallels between human behaviors and those intrinsic to all species’ survival. The inherently unique beauty of plants and their singular identities make them perfect stand-ins for the human form. Like us, they set roots, claim territory and struggle for resources.

For the past twenty plus years I have explored sculpting processes and materials as varied as paper mache’ and blacksmithing. I am equally interested in traditional techniques and contemporary mediums, utilizing those which can best translate my ideas into tangible forms.

As an outdoor enthusiast and self-described beanbag botanist, I find immediate inspiration in the flora surrounding my home in central Washington State. I remain active in the regional arts scene as both the Exhibition Coordinator at Gallery One and an active member of PUNCH Projects, an art collective dedicated to supporting our local creative economy and promoting rural arts.

When not in my studio or working as a gallery manager at a local nonprofit arts center, I enjoy cultivating an edible and native plant garden, hunting for wild mushrooms, and sharing my love of the outdoors with others.
