September 8 - October 8 2006
Artist Reception: Tuesday, Sept 12, 2006, 6 - 9pm
New (and gently shown) paintings of Bears and Flowers*.
Please come visit Retrofit Home during the month of September
to see the latest show of acrylic paintings by Joey Veltkamp.
The show is built around the pairing of two of Joey's favorite things:
bears and flowers. Both of which play prominently in the artist's
life and history of the Pacific Northwest.
For instance, did you know that the tulip was "born" here?
That's a fact -- I read it on the internet. And another fact?
We have more Pandas in captivity than any other city north of San Diego.
That's also a fact I just made up. True or false? Joey Veltkamp is widely
considered to be the foremost emerging "paint-by-number"-esque bear
artist in Seattle. (That's true!)
If you'd like to know more facts, please visit the show.
Artist Reception is Tuesday, September 12th, 2006. 6 - 9pm!
See you then!
* Yes, the title is intentional homage to Western Bridge's wonderful show, Boys and Flowers.
