Anacortes-based Hart James captures close-up views and faraway vistas of the Northwest. Her paintings have an immediacy about them that places us up front and center to the various landscapes she portrays.
Whidbey Island photographer Paul Shapiro’s panoramic works convey expanses of local, regional, and Southwest scenes, with the added layer in some images of an antiquing of their surfaces that amplifies their timelessness.
