Kouros, 30x30 in., Rust Monotype on panel with gold leaf Roby King Galleries In Winslow on Bainbridge Island, Washington, hosts a Printmaking Exhibition this month.  The opening reception is October 3 at 6 PM.  My rust Monotype Kouros (youth), above, and companion print Kore (maiden) will be exhibited. Kouros and Kore were inspired by sculpture of archaic Greece (800 BC – 480 BC).  The Kouroi and Korai sculptures of Greece did not represent an individual but the idea and ideal of youth, a combination of moral and physical beauty and nobility.

Day of the Dead is theme and exhibition at Vashon Intuitive Arts Gallery through the month of October. Nine island artists: Annie Brulé, Sooze Bloom DeLeon Grossman, Adrienne Edmonson, Brian Fisher, Kara LC Jones, Lynndee LeBeau, Carol Schwennesen, Jane Valencia, and Sherene Zolno share imagery inspired by El Día de Muertos.
 
 Opening night, Vashon's First Friday, October 3rd, from 6 to 9PM, will include a live harp performance by Jane Valenci.  Intuitive Arts Gallery also welcomes  images and offerings that celebrate memory and connection from the community.
