Don Haggerty

Don Haggerty is a figurative painter and sculptor, working from subjects he feels passionate about. The passion may be sparked by a single compositional element, or perhaps a gesture, or the dancing line of a twisted torso. He thinks of such inspirations as “gifts”. Each is a magical spark that ignites an entire work. With all its subtleties of gesture, variations of expression, drapery, light, shadow and mood, he has always felt figurative work to be the perfect context for inviting magic to happen.

Judith Heim

Spontaneity is very important to Judith Heim visually. Most of her paintings are not premeditated. They start out as amorphous shapes of wet color. As she sees subject matter emerge, she delineates it. Most of her imagery is influenced by the unseen world, dream imagery, and natural forms. She likes to create visual metaphors and sees it as a celebration of the journey.

The Gallery also features an array of handmade work by over 80 local artists. Information on the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council.
