Maryna Kantsyr - Sixteen Years Later

*Auburn Community and Event Center
910 Ninth St. SE*

Artist: *Maryna [ https://www.marynakantsyr.com/ ] Kantsyr [ https://www.marynakantsyr.com/ ]*
Exhibition Dates:* August 29 - November 1*

We welcome Maryna Kantsyr as our upcoming Community Center Gallery artist! Kantsyr's work is heavily inspired by how she interprets her environment, resulting in colorful abstractions of shapes and figures. "Ideas for my paintings usually came from interactions with the outside world, that become an idea of some kind of logic or just emotions that transform to colorful lines and objects. Sometimes I just start with a line and an idea comes after, sometimes I start with one idea and find out that it's transformed to a different idea."





Tiger Lilies [ https://www.joykloman.com/ ]

*Cheryl Sallee Gallery, Auburn Senior Center
808 Ninth St. SE*

Artist:* John Woodard [ https://www.johnwoodardart.com/ ]*
Exhibition Dates: *August 29 - November 1*

We are excited to present John Woodard at the Cheryl Sallee gallery! Woodard was born in Seattle and studied under influential Pacific Northwest artist Jacob Lawrence at the University of Washington. Woodard hopes that, like Lawrence, his artwork relies on “close attention to the tension between negative and positive shapes.” The series on display for this exhibition feature a process called watercolor resist. Woodard “begins with oil pastels on watercolor paper and then applies a watercolor wash, creating texture as the watercolor pulls away from the wax in the pastels. This technique marries the quality of painting with the immediacy and spontaneity of drawing.”





McGahan Art on Main

*Art on Main Gallery [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529278 ]
**One Main St.*

Artist: *Deanne McGahan [ https://www.deanemcgahan.com/ ]*
Exhibition Dates:* July 10 - October 21, 2023

*The Art on Main Gallery is featuring an installation by Deanne McGahan, a Seattle-based artist creating works in the 3-dimensional realm. As response to creating an installation piece specific to the space, says McGahan, "I've always struggled with adding color into my work as I tend to find it distracting in 3D forms. My work is about moving forward, and through that, I've learned that I have to take more risks to make the world evolve, whether that's the society around us or the world as a whole. No color, no change. Creating art is how I navigate life and I hope the work that I can create can give that energy of Finding Color within anyone.”
