Debra Van Tuinen: Six Decades Of Artwork
The Center Gallery, Olympia, WA - To Oct 4
Spanning six decades, this sweeping retrospective celebrates the Pacific Northwest artist Debra Van Tuinen’s celebrated career. The exhibition showcases Van Tuinen’s vision across etchings, drawings and multi-layered abstract paintings. Her intuitive practice seamlessly blends ancient and modern methodologies, utilizing rich encaustic wax, oil over acrylic and traditional Japanese sumi ink. Informed by her enduring obsession with natural environments, Van Tuinen’s luminous compositions vividly capture the delicate interaction of light dancing across land and seascapes.
