News — Art Walk

Thursday, November 12th, Click! co-owner and creative director Frances Smersh will be unveiling her latest collection of paintings at the West Seattle Art Walk. We are elated to have Frances' new work grace our walls for the next two months! Frances has a long-standing love of painting and drawing. Throughout her career as a jewelry designer, sketching was always at the forefront of the design process. Everything started on paper, and eventually made it's way into the materials she loved: sterling silver, stained concrete and cork, steel and powder coat. But around four years ago, Frances put down the jewelry tools completely and fully...

We are thrilled to introduce our next featured artist for this month’s Art Walk! Seattle's own Deanna Baldi will be adding some serious beauty to our space with her botanical-inspired creations. Deanna uses some of the most interesting media to bring her floral subjects to life!

These bright, vivid colors will bring so much life to your walls! Deanna credits one of her favorite childhood memories as a...

Hannah has a new book out called Arrow to...

Luckily, we get to see a combination of her talents in her collection for this month’s Artwalk! Having close ties to the restaurant...

Thursday night September 11 we will host two makers from very different disciplines. Shelli Markee, the artist whose wire birds soar up the walls at Click!, will flesh out the space with more flora and fauna sculptures in wire. Steve Lawler, a Tacoma woodworker whose reclaimed furniture line is one of the newest additions to the Click! showroom floor, will also be on hand to talk about his solid goods.   Shelli's wire works are three-dimensional line drawings, capturing the essence of their subject without color or shading. They are instantly recognizable despite their minimalism. The inspiration she finds in...
