Biography- Mimi Cernyar Fox 2026 Mimi has devoted her life to the visual arts. She trained in traditional art earning a four-year Bachelors of Fine Arts degree at the internationally renowned Pacific NW College of Art, in Portland Oregon and subsequently a Master of Fine Arts degree at Washington State University in Pullman WA. The influences in her life are clearly represented in her expressive works. Growing up poor, especially by today’s standards, the responsibility of being the eldest daughter and losing her mother in her childhood, provided her with a sensitivity to the human condition as it relates to trials and the “overcoming and moving through” that is necessary in life. Her understanding of both human suffering and great joy feels personal to the viewer in her portrayal of people. In her youth, Mimi attended a private Benedictine high school where she studied art and music. Growing up on the family farm working in gardens and with animals made a lifelong impression. Her spiritual paintings reflect and express not only her personal faith, but her understanding of animals and the spiritual side of the animals and their connection to their Creator. Having been influenced by music her entire life, beginning with her father listening to the jazz greats of the Big Band Era played on vinyl in the 1800s farm house she grew up in, with six of her siblings, has also been a contribution to her impressions on canvas, and are particularly notable in the movement of her ocean and sea life paintings. Mimi dabbled in singing, for the joy of it, and she can carry the vocals of a blues or jazz song along with any accomplished musicians. While attending college, she would often sing at the Jazz Quarry with vocalist Neil Diamond and the Eddie Weed band. The music experience impacted her and contributed to her inspirations for paintings in the form of expressive movement. After earning her master’s degree, Mimi supported herself and her painting by teaching art classes. The classes she taught included Understanding Art, Art History and studio courses for Pacific NW College of Art, and Eastern OR State University. Mimi has exhibiting work at Gallery 110, Seattle WA, Black-fish Gallery, Portland OR. The 8th Annual Icon Show at Lynn Hanson Gallery, Seattle WA, and Rowboat Gallery, Lincoln City OR. She was included in the annual Trinity 2021, show at Sparrow Gallery, Sacramento CA. She was presented in the on-line gallery show Anti-War 2025, an international call by Biofrin, Gallerium Art. She has had paintings at Gallerie Ettienne De Causans, Paris France 2007- 2009. The Hatfield Marine Science Center and the Guin Library, Newport OR have 7 paintings of hers in their permanent collection. Mimi’s work is in university collections and private collections across the USA. Her paintings in support of marine life have continued to be popular with the Sea-Doc Society Deer IS. WA. and they are sometimes auctioned to support the marine science work that they do in the Salish Sea. Mimi has and continues to experiment with a variety of traditional and non-traditional media. Her latest works encompass both the beauty and the gift of the horse. Her expressionist view of the horse is a spiritual take that is all at once totally unique and a joyful expression of color and beauty truly honoring “The Horse”.

Michele Knox is a self-taught abstract painter based in Olympia, Washington. Working in acrylic, oil, ink, and mixed media, she builds her paintings in spontaneous, layered gestures — allowing paint, texture, and movement to guide each piece toward its own conclusion. Her work is an ongoing meditation on what remains: after the storm, after the tide, after time itself has passed through. Her Lost in Tides collection draws on the Pacific Northwest — ocean, fog, and weathered coastlines — exploring memory and what emotional waters leave behind. The Old World collection turns toward Europe: chipped walls, antiques, and surfaces that seem to carry their own history, rendered in violet, olive, gold, and restless black. Alongside these, her Moody Blues and black-and-white minimalist works strip painting down to gesture and atmosphere. Introduced to museums and the performing arts by her grandmother at a young age, Michele has spent a lifetime finding beauty in transformation and unpredictability. She exhibits and sells her work from her Olympia studio. micheleknox.com · @micki_abstract_art

I've been creating my entire life. I owned a Decorative Arts Studio in the early 2000's where I honed my skills as a wall and furniture painter (decorative finishes, murals, furniture) and taught others as well. My "official" career is in marketing, and I currently serve as the Marketing Director for the Woodinville Arts Alliance while also juggling my own painting and working part-time managing a kids' art studio in Bothell. Earned an MFA in 2025 from Falmouth University in the UK.

He established his Bay Area studio in 1992, exhibiting across the region for fifteen years and building a collector base that spans the country and abroad. Since relocating to Seattle in 2014, he has continued to exhibit and sell work to private collectors.

I’ve been creating since childhood, back when crayons, scissors, and glue felt like tools for making my own little world. Shows like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers shaped my early imagination, opening me to different cultures, perspectives, and a sense of curiosity that never really left. My creative path has wandered through many forms. I started in film photography, stepped away for years, then resurfaced through small handmade crafts before finding collage. Both traditional and digital collage feel natural to me. I love gathering existing images, choosing the pieces that resonate, and letting them arrange themselves into something new. My process is instinctive and unforced; music often sparks the flow.

I'm a photographer, web developer, and the creator and admin of the site SeattleArtists.com.

Artist Bio Mimi is a self-taught, Seattle-area mixed-media artist who began painting just one year ago. What started as a personal and therapeutic creative outlet has quickly grown into a passion for painting, making, experimenting, and transforming everyday materials into original works of art. Her approach is intuitive and exploratory. She works with bold color, texture, collage, abstract forms, photography, found objects, and repurposed materials while continuing to discover and develop her artistic voice. Upcycling is an important part of her practice. Old canvases, previously used frames, recycled materials, leather jackets, and unexpected objects can all become surfaces for something new. She is drawn to the idea of transformation—seeing possibility and beauty in something that might otherwise be overlooked or discarded. Right now, Mimi is especially inspired by the vibrant color, energy, and visual storytelling found in Caribbean art and artists; wolves, which she identifies with as her spirit animal; flowers and botanical forms; sacred geometry; and the beauty, shape, texture, and presence of large, magnificent Afros. These influences appear in her work through color, pattern, symbolism, organic shapes, portraiture, and experimentation. Art-making is also deeply therapeutic for Mimi. Creating gives her a place to decompress, reflect, process emotions, and become completely absorbed in working with her hands. The experience of making the artwork can be every bit as important as the finished piece. Only a year into painting, she embraces being a beginner rather than trying to hide it. Her practice is about curiosity, experimentation, learning, and giving herself permission to create without being confined by traditional rules or a single artistic style.

Self-taught as an artist, I am blessed with a very active curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. I continue to explore new photography techniques to create non-traditional art through photography. In 2024, a workshop in Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) reshaped my vision—and a feature on my shift appeared in the online March 2025 issue of “ICM Photography Magazine.” I entered my image “Moonrise Over Peter Kirk Park” in two shows and was awarded a 2nd place ribbon in the 2025 Cascadia Competition cell division at the Washington State Fair and 2nd place People’s Choice at the Kirkland Seniors Art Show. As a former ribbon winner, I was on the Kirkland CIty Hall TWIK podcast on April 16, 2026 to discuss my art and the Senior Art Show. My "Two Painted Turtles Basking on a Log" received 1st place in the Senior Art Show in 2025. I was born in Massachusetts , but lived in many states. My favorite is Washington state. My family has been in Washington since late 1889. When I moved in 2017 from Southern California to Kirkland, WA. I felt like I had arrived home. Though I spent over three decades in IT positions, computer programming and web development, my creative side was always quietly growing. I have been making photos since my teens. My first darkroom class at UMass, Boston in the 1970s was exciting and I never stopped learning. Three years as a bookkeeper for Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts exposed me to a range of contemporary art.

I am a Bellingham, WA-based mixed-media nature artist with over 40 years of experience. As a teenager struggling with undiagnosed PTSD, artmaking was lifesaving for me, providing a calling, a practice, and a sense of generativity. I attended the Rhode Island School of Design and afterwards worked as a full-time artist–painting, exhibiting, visiting schools, libraries, and synagogues, and publishing two picture books–while raising my sons. In 2007, I returned to school for education, earning a master’s in 2009 (Harvard Graduate School of Education) and a doctorate in 2018 (Northeastern University), focusing on language and literacy for nontraditional and multilingual students. Until 2022, I taught academic writing to students of all ages and backgrounds, from incumbent workers at Boston hospitals to nursing students at UMass Boston and first-year Boston University students. The pandemic brought me back to the studio full-time, transformed. This year, I am participating in Surge, an art/science collaboration through the Museum of Northwest Art, and in 2024 I served as Visiting Artist at the Native Plant Trust in Massachusetts. I have exhibited and sold my work widely. View my work at https://www.juliebaer.com.

Steve Bisig is a Pacific Northwest fine art photographer based in South Bend, Washington. His black and white landscapes explore stillness, atmosphere, and emotional connection to place through forests, rivers, coastlines, and mountains shaped by weather, season, and time. His work grows from direct experience outdoors, often during long walks through rain, fog, tidal shorelines, and quiet backroads where subtle light and changing conditions reveal themselves slowly. Rather than pursuing dramatic spectacle, Steve is drawn to quieter moments that invite reflection and a slower way of seeing. Working in black and white allows him to reduce the landscape to form, texture, contrast, and mood. His photographs often explore solitude, resilience, transition, and the enduring character of the Pacific Northwest. His work has been exhibited in galleries and art spaces throughout Washington State and is collected by individuals seeking timeless, contemplative artwork for homes and shared spaces.

I started painting full time after I retired from a career in software. My interest in painting comes from being out in nature, especially after I completed hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

Very small artist, just starting out in Seattle, WA. I’m looking for a community to connect with and find resources through. I’m 20, halfway through college, with a needs-improvement portfolio. Advice, critique, anything is loved and appreciated.

I am a watercolor miniaturist creating small-scale works that celebrate resilience through the quiet details of nature. My Story: I was an active professional in my 30s when I started getting sick. I fought to stay healthy, but surgeries and diagnoses piled up until I was disabled and homebound. I lost my social life, independence, and livelihood. But I flipped the script by reconnecting with my neglected art. And it's been life-changing! I feel like art is giving me back pieces of myself. Maybe I can no longer stand at an easel, but I can still make art, one tiny piece at a time. Art is giving me new purpose, new energy, and a new community.

Although art has always been a central thread in her life, Kelsey only recently began claiming the title of artist. A cross country move and the loss of nearly all her art supplies forced her to strip her practice down to its essence. With limited space and resources, she began experimenting with charcoal powder and intuitive mark making, allowing process and instinct to guide her rather than perfection or external expectation. This shift became a turning point, marking the beginning of what she describes as her Awakening. Follow on Instagram @krlang_art for updates on recent works and links to her portfolio and shop. KRLang Artworks studio is located in downtown Port Townsend (929 Water St, Unit B4).

(Website: dmitriivanovart.com) (Instagram: @dmitri_ivanov_art) Dmitri Ivanov is a passionate contemporary Seattle artist, creating stunning original paintings, intricate drawings, hand-drawn digital art, as well as other types of art, involving different types mediums. His work is a reflection of his unique vision of the world, blending intuition and imagination to bring life to his creations. With a commitment to authenticity and creativity, Dmitri Ivanov Art aims to share the beauty of art with the Seattle art scene and the rest of the world. Dmitri Ivanov is widely recognized for his hyper-intricate pen-and-ink illustrations that blend cosmic exploration with botanical surrealism. His distinct approach to world-building separates his art from traditional science fiction illustrators. Operating out of the Pacific Northwest, his unique identity is defined by several core elements: High-Contrast Stippling and Line Work - The foundation of Ivanov’s style relies on painstaking, microscopic ink application. Instead of relying on digital gradients, he generates depth, shadow, and cosmic textures using dense stippling (dot-work) and cross-hatching. This gives his illustrations an organic, hand-etched texture reminiscent of 19th-century engravings, even when depicting highly futuristic subjects. The "Space Garden" Concept - While most sci-fi art frames outer space as cold and metallic, Ivanov’s signature thematic universe introduces interplanetary botany. He routinely places astronauts, moons, and spaceships alongside massive, swirling celestial mushrooms, terrariums, blooming flora, and winding vines. This surreal mashup frames cosmic exploration as a form of cosmic gardening or eco-futurism. Sub-Aquatic Cosmic Surrealism - Ivanov frequently merges the imagery of the deep ocean with deep space. His portfolio features iconic images of deep-space octopuses floating past planets, alongside astronauts navigating alien worlds that behave like coral reefs. This thematic crossover emphasizes the parallel mysteries between Earth's uncharted oceans and the edge of the universe. Multi-Disciplinary Flexibility - Beyond the black-and-white ink work that serves as his social media hallmark under @dmitri_ivanov_art, he is a highly versatile creator. He intentionally experiments across different mediums, fluidly translating his high-concept fantasy and surrealist aesthetics into physical paintings and sculptures. Dmitri’s artworks can be found in private collections across the Pacific Northwest. Dmitri's portfolio can be viewed on his website: dmitriivanovart.com

Her work is influenced by travel, dreams, music, humor, and the unexpected forms that emerge through an intuitive process. Through both abstract and representational subjects, Dinsmore explores themes of identity, perception, connection, and the often-unspoken aspects of the human experience. She views art as a way to reconnect people with curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of shared humanity. Her ongoing aquatic-themed series uses fish and marine life as metaphors for human behavior, corporate culture, social dynamics, and personal growth. Through humor, symbolism, and layered visual narratives, the work invites viewers to look beyond surface appearances and question assumptions about themselves and the world around them. At its core, Dinsmore’s practice is rooted in curiosity. She sees art as a way to bridge differences, encourage reflection, and reconnect people with their own creativity, intuition, and sense of wonder.

Jesse Holt was born into the kinetic energy of Brooklyn, New York, and raised with an independent spirit. His perspective on art was shaped by a life in motion. Life has taken him from the rhythmic urban jungle of NYC, to the rugged coastlines of New England and the lush, tropical landscapes of Hawaii—a migration that instilled a deep appreciation for the tension between diverse environments and contrasting artistic impressions. He formalized his artistic instincts at the University of Hawaii, earning a Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. Drawn by the pulse of the design industry, he later returned to New York City to sharpen his craft and build a professional foundation at the intersection of fine and visual arts. Following a pivotal chapter in California, Jesse now calls West Seattle home. He continues to bridge his rich personal history with a modern, collaborative approach, creating visual storytelling that is as diverse as the landscapes and influences that shaped him.

I grew up watching Bob Ross paint his fluffy clouds and insist there were no mistakes when it came to painting. I was mesmerized. He insisted that everyone could be a painter, even me. It was many years later, when my son started first grade, that I started to paint. It was a place of experimenting -- and discovering what might happen next. A place where surprises might surface, on the canvas, and inside of me.

I am a mostly self taught artist who was exposed to fused and flat glass art at an early age. I opened my own stained glass studio in the '80s in Woodinville where we lived and raised three children. Glass is a wonderful art medium because there are so many different aspects to it. Flat, sandblasted, blown, painted and fused are a few. I've been drawn to nature since my childhood and try to put that love into my glass pieces. It's always fun opening my kiln every morning to see if the dance with the properties of heating the glass (fusing) and the glass has transformed into what I had in my mind. It's a bit like Christmas morning everyday at my studio. It's a fine line to walk between the chemistry of the glass and my artistic creativity and always keeps me challenged to learn more.
