SEQUIM — Four women well-known on the local art scene are getting together for a rare show and sale this weekend: ARTfusion.
The exhibition and sale will open today and continue through Sunday at the Cutting Garden Art Center, 303 Dahlia Llama Lane.
Painter Catherine Mix, jewelry designer Paulette Hill, ceramicist and pen-and-ink artist Linda Collins Chapman and, new this year, driftwood artist Tuttie Peetz will offer their creations from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. all three days.
Art demonstrations are slated, too, at 2 p.m. each afternoon of the show.
Admission is free.
Hill, a prize-winning designer, uses fine silver wire wrapping, peyote bead-stitching and right-angle weaves in her work.
Mix, founder of the Cutting Garden Art Center, paints with pastel and watercolor in her images of the Olympic Peninsula’s scenery.
She’s also among the artists about to participate in the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center’s Paint the Peninsula plein-air competition (www.paintthepeninsula.org) to start Monday and run through next weekend.
Chapman has been working with clay for 40 years.
She also does wheel-thrown porcelain pieces and uses the ancient technique of sgraffito.
Her work has been selected for American Craft Council shows in Baltimore and San Francisco and at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
Peetz, another award-winning artist, has displayed her driftwood sculptures in Sequim, Port Townsend and Seattle.
A sculptor for 19 years, she’s been teaching driftwood art techniques for the past decade.
