From the Artist:
“The beauty and diversity of the natural world is the inspiration for my acrylic paintings. Using expressive colors and rich details, I create paintings designed to give the viewer an experience, both up close and at a distance.
As a graduate of Central Washington University, I began my art career with Alaska Silver and Ivory as a scrimshaw artist.
Then, finding it more fun to work larger, I moved from ivory to colored pencil and then to acrylic paint.
I love to share with the viewer a new way to see everyday scenes and details that would be ordinarily passed by.
I hope you’ll find it’s fun to see the world through an artist’s eye.”

The 2024 Juried Art Show & Sale will be judged by Velocity Made Good founder Perri Lynch Howard, CWU Campus Visits Manager Sarah Haven, and WVMCC Board President Stephanie Stauffer.
Perri Lynch Howard: Perri Lynch Howard is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound. Her work investigates the passage of light, sound, and signal through landscapes on the front lines of climate change—a phenomenology of place. Howards’ art has a global reach through exhibitions and sound installations completed in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the Arctic Circle, and in South India as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar. She is a volunteer field recording ambassador with Quiet Parks International, an avid adventurer, and a private pilot.
Sarah Haven: While studying theatre as an undergrad, Sarah Haven took a ceramics class on a whim, and it changed the course of her life. In 2003, she relocated from Ohio to Washington for graduate school. Enthralled with the Pacific Northwest, she decided to stay upon completing her MFA. After 12 exciting years at Gallery One Visual Arts Center, a nonprofit in downtown Ellensburg, Sarah recently returned to work at Central Washington University. She relishes spending time-pinching pots in her basement studio as well as serving on the board of the Washington Clay Arts Association. Sarah’s pots are available at Saltstone Ceramics in Seattle, WA, and Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN.
Stephanie Stauffer: Stephanie currently serves as board President of the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center. For close to twenty years, she has worked as a lawyer, and is currently employed by Starr Ranch as its general counsel. Although Stephanie’s personal artistic skill is limited, she appreciates creative expression in all forms and is immensely appreciative for the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Juried Art Show.
At the end of the exhibit, the first-place winner will receive $500, the second-place winner $250, and the People’s Choice Award winner $200. Artists receiving awards will also receive one complimentary admission ticket to the Museum’s Night at the Museum on September 21, 2024, from 6 – 9 PM.
