Joanne Shellan is featured artist at Red Sky Gallery for September

Saturday, August 29, 2020

Sunbeam and the Shade


Featured Artist Joanne Shellan is an award winning artist. Her show at Red Sky Gallery is the month of September, her Reception is September 5th, 4pm to 7pm. 

With over 3k sq ft of space we have plenty of room to spread out and see the show and mingle safely and meet the artist. We are on the upper level of the LFP Town Center.



Joanne's Bio: Painter of Your Life in Color


When your father and grandmother paint, you come by the addiction to the brush honestly. Painter Joanne Shellan says, “I always felt at home doing any kind of art, from as far back as I can remember.” 

Joanne Shellan, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, has studied and painted full-time for almost twenty years in Kirkland, WA. After graduating from WSU in Communications and Art, she worked at her family business until she began her second career as an artist. 

Waiting, Moored in the Sun


She recently studied under master painter, Liana Bennett, Kenmore, WA. Over her career, she has explored a variety of mediums moving from watercolors (in which she received her Signature Membership from the Northwest Watercolor Society) to acrylics and oils. 

Shellan’s paintings have won dozens of awards including a first and second place award this past summer. She has been in over three dozen group shows and had almost two dozen solo shows.

She was chosen to represent Washington State in a year-long solo show at the Governor’s Mansion in Olympia, WA in 2012-2013.

The Sea is Calling


Two of Joanne’s donated paintings were auctioned for $10,000. Her work is part of the permanent collection at Evergreen Hospital (Kirkland, WA) and the Strom Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island, WA. 

The Seattle Public Library’s Foundation used one of her images for all their media in 2015. She is represented by several fine art galleries in Oregon and Washington. Shellan also co-started the Kirkland Artist Studio Tour which is now entering its fifteenth year.


Gently Rocking


A consistent theme in her impressionist style paintings has been to push the boundaries of color and use strong compositions to support her bold brushstrokes. 

“I like to paint subjects that are a little off the beaten path, especially small groups of people in interiors, city and landscapes.” 

To help keep her painting style loose, she likes to turn her paintings upside down and then take off her glasses.

Gallery North October 2022 Featured Exhibit - “Silent Voyage” by Artist Silena Wei Chen

Wednesday, October 5, 2022

Thriving Land by artist Silena Wei Chen

For the month of October, Gallery North is proud to present “Silent Voyage,” an exhibit of colorful and dreamy photographs and paintings by award winning artist Silena Wei Chen.

Using light as paint and the camera as her brush, Chen uses her unique technique to convey a very sensitive and personal feeling of nostalgia in her work. Much of her work was inspired by the interaction between ocean and sky afterglow along the west coast. She uses the subtle transition of colors and shades in her work to evoke a feeling of peace and invites viewers onto an imaginary journey on the sea. 

In this exhibition, Chen will present new works that were created on the Edmonds beach, along with her best-selling work Red Sun, A Dancer on the Blue Sea, Ocean Nocturne, Night of Silence and more.

Cascade Mountain by Silena Wei Chen

In addition to her photographic work, this exhibit also includes Chen’s acrylic paintings. What always fascinates her is to search for the harmony and collision of colors to represent the places where dreams and memories linger.

The public is invited to meet the artist on Saturday, October 8th from 2pm to 5pm at Gallery North and during the third Thursday Edmonds Art Walk on October 20th from 5-8pm. This exhibit will be open to the public from October 1st – October 31st.

Gallery North has been in operation for more than 60 years, continuing its mission to promote and sell local art in the heart of beautiful downtown Edmonds. It is located at 410 Main Street in Edmonds, open seven days a week. 

For further information, please visit the Gallery North website at www.gallerynorthedmonds.com or call the gallery at 425-774-0946.

Piano Time hits the right notes with visitors and home town players

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

NW Melodies by Marcia Lippert
in place at Goodwill

Once again Piano Time was a big hit! The third year of this “street piano” adventure brought artists, musicians and community together for an interactive experience. Eleven artist-decorated pianos were placed around Shoreline, cared for by adjoining businesses and neighbors and enthusiastically played by thousands of Shoreline residents and visitors throughout the month of August.

Pianos were generously donated to the cause, artists were selected from a Call for Artists, a collaborative committee of City staff, musicians, artists, Prosser Piano staff and community set the plan in motion, and numerous local businesses enthusiastically agreed to participate to make this all-August project a success. In addition Piano Time was supported in part by Prosser Piano, GBC International Bank and a generous 4Culture Group Arts Award.

If you didn’t get to see all the pianos you can find images on the Public Art page of the City’s website. 

Sports and Tunes on Backyard Birds
By Susan Pope at Paramount Park


Each piano had a “note book” attached and collected comments from both pianists and performers – children, teens, adults, seniors, beginners to professionals. The comments were wildly enthusiastic with many wishing the pianos could remain in place indefinitely and definitely supported their return in 2015.

Piano Time 2014 celebrated with bookend concerts at Arts al Fresco on August 7 with three pianos in play, and the Michael Stegner and Friends trio in the City Hall courtyard concert on August 27. Along with noon and evening concerts in the parks, musical theater outdoors at City Hall, new Gallery and Sculpture Stroll exhibit openings, plus chalk art on the trail, this was definitely an art-filled summer to remember.

Piano Time 2014 Notebook Quotes:

  • Great to hear Mason play in the sunshine on a bike ride!!!
  • Thank you for doing this art project. I look forward to this sunny month with pianos all year long.  I love not having to pack gear around. The pianos are just there already. Thank you for all the effort moving, setup, creation lots of work. I go find a new piano each day and do some morning music for all to hear. These pianos add beauty to the gray drab suburban landscape. I cover any pianos I see when it rains trying to help them last for years to come. Thank you.
  • Love this idea! Had a woman sit on a bench and play her harmonica along with the piano! Art rules!
  • Back to re-live our first date.

  • Whoever dolled up the piano did a great job. Thanks, Shoreline.
  • We played and played. We loved it so much! We had so much fun!

Fancy Footwork by Kelly Lyles
The Park at Town Center

  • I’ve really enjoyed the pianos around the area. At first I didn’t play at the library park too often because of the seven or eight missing keys, but it was great at the end of the month to have the keys fixed. But anyway, I hope this program continues for many more years. I love playing these pianos and listening to the different styles of music that comes with each musical passerby. So again, thank you Shoreline.
  • Loved being here – very healing for some old fears and made new happy memories in their place. Wonderful 55th birthday gift.
  • I’ve been playing piano since I was 3 years old. It’s brought me around the US, to Germany with Macklemore and even earned a Grammy nomination with Macklemore from playing “Same Love” on The Heist. It’s amazing what music can do for people and where it can bring you. I encourage people to follow their joy in music and let it inspire, heal and uplift you!! Josh Rawlings 
  • Music is, at the best of times, an expression of heartfelt emotion to be used as an extension of oneself. At the worst of times it is a plague – nothing more and nothing less. Perhaps actions such as these will allow us to cleanse from ourselves the impurity of insincere music. I truly hope so. Good luck, music lovers.
  • Had so much fun playing a duet with Mom.
  • Possibly my favorite piano ever!! I played 2 jazz standards. Four missing keys made it tough.
  • Thank you so much for Piano Time. I was so excited Sky gets to host this beautiful flower piano this year! The action on the keys feels really nice. I am cashier at Sky and also a pianist on the side. Love to play the music that makes people happy!
  • Yea! Mom and I enjoyed finding and playing on all the colorful pianos last year—so happy to see them again! Thank you!
  • So happy to see the piano on display! So good to take part in this fun event.
Wonderland by Heather Carr

  • This is a great idea! I hope that if they are not already in Seattle they can get them too.
  • I played these jazz standards for a flowery piano: Days of Wine and Roses, Poinciana, Red Roses for a Blue Lady
  • Thank you 1000 times plus. This is amazing!
  • What a wonderful idea—becoming a tradition, perhaps Goldberg variations are beyond me, but casual chord changes sound good on … does this piano have a name? Alice?
  • Beautiful tonal quality!...I wish they had something like this in San Diego, California!... visiting family here!
  • I’m jealous of everyone for playing so well. I Just tapped some keys, remembering old tunes. (6 days later) Back again! I’ll play a little more, try to get better. It’s cooler out here than in my house!
  • This piano is beautiful and it’s sunny out and August in Seattle, right here writing in this silly piano book, right now is perfect.
  • My granddaughter loves to sit down and play her nice pieces before entering the store. Nice thing!
  • We just love the pianos! Thank you Shoreline for such a fun and interactive art project! We always meet the nicest and most interesting people at the pianos. Kudos to you!
  • We drove up from Bonney Lake WA. What a wonderful way to bring such creative minds together for something that looks and sounds so great!
