Tara McDermott and her fine art photography of the natural elements; be they a copse of trees, or a curve of hill, often fading to the expected idyllic scene, a common and overwrought image. To transcend an otherwise predictable experience, Tara deliberately relies on formal composition and bold visuals. Her work is as much about enhancing a particular detail within an image as it is about distilling it to its simplest, purest form. - FRAME UP STUDIOS - 3515 FREMONT AVE. N.

Rick Simpson's lithography’s invite the viewer to dive in his haunting world of beauty, obscurity, depth and darkness.

Also this month Randy Sill, beloved local ceramic artist, turns from his work in lovable monsters and happily toothy slugs to present pieces rich in texture in form which wonderfully intertwine with the darkness of Simpson's work. - FRANK AND DUNYA - 3418 FREMONT AVE.
