602 Commercial Ave., Red Salon-Aveda Red Salon welcomes artist Christine Hassell for the month of March. She is an artist who is fascinated by the balance, harmony of form and color inherent in the natural world. She uses a limited pallet in oil and pastel and composes impressionistic vistas of land joining water and forested mountains.  Christine, who moved here in 2016, was inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and took a class at the PNW School of Art with Mich Albala, thus launching her adventures in landscape painting.

520 Commercial Ave., Pelican Bay Bookstore & Coffee Shop The bookstore features Anacortes artist Cathy Schoenberg’s mixed media collection. Schoenberg uses paper/collage and inks, as two-part harmony of the uncontrolled liquidity of India inks, and the corralling patterns in white. Small in scale, each piece invites the viewer into a rabbit hole of unlimited imagination.

420 Commercial Ave., Scott Milo Gallery The gallery features new, bold pastels of NW images by Steven R Hill of Lopez Island. Also showing are oils by Karen Bakke, paintings and ceramics by Susan Cohen Thompson, oils by Jennifer McGill and acrylics by John Roser.
