FEATURED ARTIST: APRIL - JUNE 2024
Amanda Thornton-DeWitt
Amanda Thornton-DeWitt’s photography approach is a delicate blend of artistry and technical expertise, using light, composition and perspective to infuse each image with a unique character.
Amanda's journey in photography has led her in an exploration of various genres. Whether it's the excitement of event photography, the intimacy of lifestyle portraits, the warmth of pet and family photos, the sentimentality of senior photos, the camaraderie of sports team photos or the soul-stirring nature of fine art photography, each experience has enriched her craft.
Above all, Amanda considers the grandeur and subtle beauty of nature to be her constant muse. With an eye for the perfect moment, Amanda delights in bringing the breathtaking outdoors into the frames of her photographs.
Meet Amanda Thornton-DeWitt and learn more about her work at the upcoming Art Walk Edmonds Third Thursday event on June 20.

Brooke Fotheringham
Brooke Fotheringham is a West Seattle multimedia artist who studied photography, installation art, and costume design at The Evergreen State College and Northwest College of Art. Her experimental macro photographic work has shown locally and nationally for the past several decades. The work often focuses on celebrating what is just beyond visual perception with the human eye, and is presented in a way that centers form over subject to create abstract landscapes and atmospheric compositions.
In recent years Brooke has been exploring the intersection of synthetic biology and materials science, which has manifested as a mixed media series of biomorphic art installations, assemblages, surface pattern designs, and video art imagining futuristic applications for the naturally forming geometric patterns created by silica, cellulose, chitin, and chromatophores.
You can find more of her art and designs at www.brookefotheringhamart.myportfolio.com/

Kim Parsley
Kim Parsley has combined her passions for finding a new life for old things, elevating great design, and renewing the enjoyment of creating cocktails (spirit-free or spirit forward) into her vintage travel bars; affectionately named The Happy Travelers. Each Happy Traveler is designed around a wine experience or a specific cocktail and includes all the bottles, bar tools, and glassware needed for the creation and enjoyment of that cocktail. Because most items are vintage or second-hand, each travel bar is one-of-a-kind, creating a renewed purpose to items that would otherwise sit on a shelf or in a landfill.
Kim also brings together art and science in creating her original encaustic artwork, in which she uses liquid beeswax to express the unique juxtaposition of places or textures and objects that are otherwise not connected to each other.

Catherine Goron - Ocean Sky Lab
Catherine is a life-long photographer, paying close attention to the marvelous details around her. The backdrop in most of her work is Paris, France where she was fortunate to live with her husband and two boys; and the Pacific Northwest where she's currently based.
The Ocean Sky Lab Gallery Shop is about timeless designs that are both beautiful and useful for every day: fine art prints, portable calendars, and cards for all occasions. Nothing fills Catherine's heart more than hearing customers say that her photographs are the first thing they see in the morning and brighten their day. She strives to offer that same sense of beauty, function and connectedness in every aspect of her work.
A selection of Catherine’s prints and greeting cards are available for purchase at Vie & Vin.
