celebrate our local artists by ringing in the rain!

Jennifer Angaiak Wood is an artist of Yup'ik, Irish, and Italian descent. She was born and raised in Fairbanks, AK, and spent summers in her dad's home village, Tununak, AK. The inspiration for her umbrella is the importance of clean, healthy water to maintain healthy populations of salmon and all of the sea and land creatures that rely on them, humans included.

Dylan Wood is a youth artist of Yup'ik and mixed-European descent. His interests include trains, rockets, and playing with his dog, Nugget. The inspiration for his umbrella design is the custom-designed trains for Thomas and Friends - he designed his own custom umbrella for the red characters in the show. *Psst - it kind of looks like a fruit rollup!*

Cassidy Wood is a youth artist of Yup'ik and mixed European heritage. She was born in Fairbanks, AK, and is currently in the 7th grade. Her main interests are fashion, spending time with her friends, and investigating the paranormal.

  Hello, my name is Leah Price and I’m a Running Start student based here in Bremerton, WA at Olympic Community college. I love finding fun ways to express creativity with different materials and mediums. I had a fun time making my little umbrella!

   I've lived here in Bremerton my whole life, absorbing the visual beauty of the pacific northwest. The local marine ecosystem is one of my favorite subjects and I'm particularly fond of painting cormorants. I hope to illustrate books professionally one day and am currently working on a map for my grandma's autobiography. 

  I am a ceramic artist and aromatherapist who loves to branch out to other facets of creativity, like small scale block and cyanotype printing, origami, beading, and needle felting. I also love sharing the beauty I find around me through photography. You can see photos of these creative explorations on Instagram at @earthandaether and @jenniferlombardak.

  I choose to work in watercolor because of the element of surprise. The artist must be willing to let go of control, taking a back seat to the movement and caprice of paint in water. The painting reveals itself. 

 Born and raised in Bremerton, Washington, Billy Richardson is a world traveler whose art reflects the diverse cultures and countries that have shaped his creative vision. His work draws inspiration from patterns and their symbolic meanings, reimagined through a contemporary lens. Outside of his visual art practice, Billy is an avid rockhound and jeweler. 

  Lynn Horton has a design background and is currently on the Bremerton Arts Commission, the Bremerton Creative District Executive Committee, and the Board of the West Sound Arts District. 

The piece is called Spiraling into the Vortex. 

Hailing from Bremerton, Renee Oswald is an aspiring artist who is inspired by everything throwaway and vivid colors. Her favorite artform is mixed media.

Linds hails from Manette and holds a BAH/AAS.  She is a Covid Doodler and loves to see people smile.  She utilized a black sharpie to create a monochromatic parasol.  Her piece was inspired by Morris Graves, Bob Ross, Matisse, Picasso, Haring, Frank, and Nature.  

Thomas Friday is an up-and-coming standup comedian from Bremerton, Washington. Gifted (or cursed) with a brain full of puns, one-liners and weird observations, Thomas can be seen performing at bars, breweries, and the occasional backyard. He understands the value of time and chooses to waste it wisely with friends, family, and the pursuit of comedy.

I am more of a seamstress than an artist, having done costumes for local theaters and opera.  I also use creativity in flor designs for Garden Club flower shows.  

I love a challenge!  It was fun to decorate a parasol and be part of the gallery and Bremerton Art Walk.
