Wahlgren has worked her love for vintage and natural finds into assemblages that tell a story. Her assemblages are intended to be a bit mind-bending, humorous and fun.

“I start with an artifact that sparks an idea, then I continue to add elements selected for color, texture and a dynamic design, and a story naturally evolves,” Wahlgren said in a press release.

Wahlgren is working on pieces that are intended to be interactive.

Next month, her artwork will be on display at the Port Ludlow Sound Community Bank at the corner of Oak Bay Road and Osprey Ridge Drive and online at www.portludlowart.org.

Raine has combined handmade papers, Gelli monoprints and inks to create paper jewelry.

“The fabulous thing about paper jewelry is that it’s as light as a feather,” she said.

Her jewelry also will be at the Sound Community Bank, the Port Ludlow Art Gallery and at www.portludlowart.org.

Group exhibit

The Port Ludlow Bay Club hosts a group art exhibit sponsored by the Port Ludlow Art League every two months. The theme for the current exhibit is Shades of Red.

Although there are close to 100 shades, the most popular include vermilion, wine, scarlet, ruby and carmine. In Egyptian culture, red was often associated with life, health and victory. In western countries, red is often a symbol of love, passion and fire.

The exhibit is available for viewing in person during February and March at the Bay Club, 120 Spinnaker Place in Port Ludlow.

For more information, email Alan Ahtow at info@portludlowart.org.

Bay Club Group Exhibit includes “Red Sky at Night” by Diane Walker.
