We’ve always been fascinated with the intersection between art, science, and the natural world. Ritu Tilwani’s detailed and monochromatic linocut prints embody what we love about this convergence. Ritu is a new-to-Click! artist whose work we fell in love with on sight. Her collection features striking, minimalistic depictions of marine life, planets, and geographical wonders. The limited edition pieces include manta rays, orcas, starry skies, mountains, and so much more. They’re perfect for fellow nature lovers and those who are constantly pondering our connection to the universe :). The full collection is available to view in-store and online. And stop...

We’ve been dreaming of backyard barbecues, classy garden parties, and beachside soirees all year long. Now that summer has arrived, we’re done dreaming and ready to get doing! It’s been a little bit since we’ve hosted a get together so we pulled together a list to remind ourselves how this summer entertaining thing works. As always, we’re keeping it sweet and simple (just how we like it 😊). Ambiance is key, so the first thing to consider is décor. Your fête will feel extra welcoming with these little bud vases filled with foraged blooms and spread throughout. Add some color...

Rachel Austin, a long-time Click! favorite, is back as our featured artist for July! The show will feature new works in her signature style: vintage maps layered with boldly colored florals and bird silhouettes. These charming, hand-painted scenes mounted on wood block panels will be available in-store and online starting Thursday 7.8 for Art Walk, along with an expanded collection of prints and cards that express a love of the PNW. Also... many of the pieces are just the right size to fit in a suitcase, carry-on, or backpack and would make the perfect gift for visitors and local residents...

Ryan McAbery‘s meticulous and distinctive process combines her original photography, love of topography and crisp clean line work.   Her multi-dimensional pieces begin with an original illustration, hand drawn over a topographic map which is then printed onto clear acrylic. Each image is backed with a color photograph, creating depth and literal layers for light-catching and light-weight additions to any art collection. We carry a selection of Ryan’s art year-round and continue to be awed by the work she creates which both reminds us of home and inspires us to explore. Ryan’s latest collection debuts on June 10, 2021 during West Seattle Art Walk. The show runs through July...
