Collage with Daphne Minkoff: Friday, September 25,
5:30 - 8:00 PM at Harris Harvey Gallery
In Edges of Unmaking, Daphne Minkoff explores the ways memory accumulates within the built environment. Her mixed-media paintings examine urban landscapes in transition, tracing what remains after places begin to disappear. Drawing inspiration from boarded-up houses, aging storefronts, overlooked structures, and abandoned automobiles, the work reflects on the transformation of place and the quiet histories embedded within it. Many of the buildings depicted have already vanished, replaced by contemporary mixed-use developments and condominiums. Their absence raises broader questions about memory, identity, and what is lost when familiar spaces quietly disappear from the urban fabric.
A conversation with Daphne Minkoff and fellow artist Amanda Knowles will take place at the gallery on Saturday, September 19 at 2 PM.

Upcoming Exhibition
HART JAMES - Poems of the Earth
&
GREGG LAANANEN - Fire in the Moon
October 1 - 31, 2026
Artists’ Reception: First Thursday, October 1, 6-8 PM
Pacific Northwest artist Hart James channels elemental forces into bold abstractions. The artist explores the inherent connection between the individual and their natural environment. Her compositions rendered in oil and charcoal, evoke the movement of water, the whisper of air, and the enduring weight of stone. With a deep knowledge of the Northwest Mystics, she paints in an abstract manner to carry this tradition forward to the present. James’s work speaks of the energy of nature—every painting is an attempt to reunite with an existence symbiotic with the natural world.
Gregg Laananen is a self-taught artist living and working in the Skagit Valley. His artwork is informed by observations made from nature, automatic drawing, the role of chance and intuition, material investigation, as well as the interplay of different kinds of abstraction. Alternating between painting in the studio and out of doors, Gregg Laananen breathes life and color into the Pacific Northwest landscape with his visceral interpretations of water falls, forests, and isolated elements of nature. Plants, flowers and flumes are rendered with visceral, highly textured paint application in a style that values simplicity and immediacy. The artist also creates enchanting floral still life scenes. Lannanen’s surroundings and their emotional effect on him determine his approach, which can be described as neo-expressionist.

KATHRYN ALTUS - Water Work
August 6 - 29 , 2026
Artists' Reception: First Thursday, August 6, 6-8 PM
Artist Meet & Greet: Saturday, August 15 at 2 pm
The August exhibition pairs recent works by Seattle area artists Karen Kosoglad and Kathryn Altus, uniting intimate figuration with the expansive presence of water. Kosoglad’s paintings explore quiet, gestural moments with contemplative female figures, while Altus’ work centers on the shifting, elemental force of water in the Pacific Northwest—its horizons, currents, and dissolving boundaries. Together, the exhibition moves between body and landscape, tracing a shared sense of rhythm, reflection, and beauty.
