News — Art Walk

Click! co-proprietress Frances Smersh's jewelry has been the centerpiece of our shop since we first opened in 2004. Recently she's been focusing her creative energy in another medium: painting. Drawing inspiration from a trip to the Utah desert last year, Frances has developed themes evocative of water, life forms, and geometric structures in a style all her own. She paints simple lines and shapes washed with colors that warm and soften the feel of the pieces.   Trajectory, the first collection of Frances's new work, will be at Click! beginning with an opening reception on West Seattle Art Walk: 6-9pm November...

Thursday, May 9 from 6-9pm we welcome Amy Huber for an opening reception on West Seattle Art Walk. Amy has two collections of new work, both very intriguing conceptually while also accessible and affordable. The bulk of this show, Organically Controlled, focuses on a series of diptychs Amy created with ink and paper as a sketchbook experiment.

The relationship is apparent but not obvious:   Amy is also bringing a delightful collection of small "stress paintings". These pieces originated from the...
