Mixed-media artist Kathy Constantine is featured in a Burien Arts Gallery exhibit opening this week. The show runs to July 30.

The Burien Arts Gallery normally schedules its Artist/Opening Reception on the first Friday of the month. But because of the busy Independence Day weekend, plan to meet Kathy on Friday, July 8, 5-8 p.m. at the Gallery, located at 826 S.W. 152nd in Olde Burien.

“My mixed-media pieces flow directly from my vivid and colorful imagination and seldom use any reference material. I often add a bit of whimsy to my pieces,” Kathy explains.

Kathy’s work has been shown extensively in Port Townsend and Port Ludlow. She received a Merit award at the Northwind Arts Center Collage Show and AAUW selected two of her mixed-media pieces for a national art competition.

In addition, Nancy Bogni and Nancy Fulton will be showing in the Artists United room at the Gallery in July. They are members of Washington Women Painters and signature members of Northwest Watercolor Association.

The Burien Arts Gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. More information at www.burienarts.org or 206-244-7808.
