The Ontological Formula brings together mezcal, tequila, charred pineapple, prickly pear, and a cilantro cactus cordial in a bold yet balanced composition that mirrors Rico’s exploration of connection, contrast, and the relationship between the natural and manmade world. Smoky, vibrant, and layered with unexpected flavors, this cocktail is designed to spark conversation and invite curiosity, much like the artwork that inspired it.

Featured Artist: Kathleen Dyer.
Kathleen Dyer is a full-time artist and muralist who has been painting canvases, skateboards, shop windows, and walls throughout the Wenatchee Valley since moving here from Park City, Utah over 20 years ago. She attended The Art Institute of Pittsburgh to study Media Arts and Animation, and after completing an internship at an animation studio in Ireland in 2012, Kathleen originally planned to move overseas to pursue animation full-time. Instead, she chose to stay in the valley and focus on painting murals and commissioned artwork locally. Art has always been a major source of the joy in her life, and her main focus is to spread that joy through her work. She paints from her heart with vibrant colors in a semi-realistic style – with a wide variety of constantly changing subject matter consisting of anything from scenic landscapes to happy monsters, to her favorite foods, animals, people, and flowers. In her free time she enjoys hanging out with her husband Hans, her 17 year old daughter Chloe, and her fluffy dog Georgie.

MAC Gallery

Featured Artists: Nik Penny and Scotty Broberg.

Nik Penny and Scotty Broberg: A Quiet Space
WVC MAC Gallery
May 1—July 10

Nik Penny and Scotty Broberg, local artists and team on the ArtsWA Public Art Roster, blend computerized industrial design tools, large datasets, and traditional woodworking processes to create a compelling suite of wood sculptures representing starscapes visible at locations around the globe. The process translates celestial data into a tactile, spatial language, with visual effects that emerge as viewers shift their positions—drawing them from the beauty of the natural wooden surfaces to an experience of the heavens and back again.

Team Statement

Scotty Broberg and Nik Penny utilize digital and traditional fabrication techniques, and work with both engineered and natural materials, as they give form to concepts which hold respect for the intended environment. They think deeply about their projects, developing meaningful narratives that stimulate emotions while being mindful of the importance of the relationships between a space and an installation. By encoding consequential data into material, they develop sculptural systems that embody and communicate meaning.
Their combined knowledge and skillsets give them experiences with a wide variety of materials and processes, and their collaborative and complementary approach to problem solving integrates technical rigor with conceptual depth.
Broberg develops unique systems using tools he often designs himself, including a pressurized steam oven and a 3D matrix system. He builds bent wood sculptural forms that emit light, which are simultaneously precise and expressive. Penny draws on his experience in painting, programing digital looms and knitting machines, and creating computer algorithms that generate structures based on real-world data sets. Together, they seek to bridge the digital and tactile, working with materials that shift perception and activate space.
Through sculpture, they aim to make hidden systems visible—and their implied meanings are translated into physical installations. Their work positions data not only as information, but as material and metaphor.
