Meet the Artist: Jeremy Mangan
|
 Back in March, 2013 Fellowship recipient Jeremy Mangan performed an ice sculpture demonstration in Neighbor's Park in Tacoma for his Meet the Artist event. Read all about it!
Artist Trust's Meet the Artist program is an integral component of the annual Artist Trust Fellowships. Every Fellowship recipient presents an event outside of their geographic area of residence or to a community that would not ordinarily have access to their work. Meet the Artist bridges our artistic community with the diverse communities in Washington State, increasing awareness about the vital roles the arts and artists play in our culture.

Tamara Stephas: Pentimenti
| |
2013 Grants for Artist Projects (GAP) recipient Tamara Stephas presents Pentimenti, a series of paintings that explore the changing relationship between humans and our environment, our evolving definitions of progress, and the stories we tell ourselves about it. Pentimenti are traces of changes in design or composition made by the artist during the process of painting.
I am influenced by the technical virtuosity and transcendent luminosity of romantics such as the Hudson River School painters, whose amazing depictions of natural wonders became the face of manifest destiny and America's expansion to the Pacific. But my landscapes necessarily reflect contemporary interventions in the natural world, as seen by a contemporary eye. [Tamara Stephas]
