Jeffrey Moose Gallery proudly presents works on paper by artist Anne Greenwell for the months of February and March. A reception for the exhibition will be held on First Friday, February 2nd from 6 to 8 PM. A Facebook livestream tour of the show will run from about 5:20 to 5:40. A second reception will take place on First Friday, March 1st, also 6-8 PM.

I first showed Greenwell’s dazzling compositions back in 2009 when she and her family were living in Richland and her husband was working in a government energy lab.The rollicking kaliedoscopic compositions reminded me of the landscape along the Columbia River, but with a wild twist: inspired by fractals, Sacred Geometry and psychedelic art of the 60’s and 70’s. Originally a textile artist, it's easy to imagine the artist transposing quilt patterns into more fluid two dimensional compositions.

She works primarily on paper with a variety of of media: many types of markers, acrylics, pens and pencils. As as she explains, aspects of her work are driven from studying perspective. Often her grids suggest complex three dimensional spaces.

Though trained and still employed as a nurse, Greenwell has found art to be a compulsion and has woven it around her professional life, participating in group shows in the 80’s and 90’s in NYC, Chicago, Dallas and Austin before having a child in 2000. She has exhibited in Washington State since 2008. She recently told me that she wanted to “…make something big and something little. I want it to feel like it's moving. The world needs more color and light!”

"Omoiyari' a Japanese word that means to have sympathy and compassion towards another person. Join us at BIMA in Frank Buxton Auditorium to take a moment and commemerate the anniversary of the Executive Order 9066.

A universal concept in human interaction that is required for a sustainable society. In Omoiyari: a Song Film by Kishi Bashi, internationally acclaimed composer and songwriter Kaoru Ishibashi (professionally known as "Kishi Bashi") embarks on a personal quest by creating his music in locations relevant to the Japanese American Incarceration during WWII. It is on this journey in which Kishi Bashi comes to terms with his own identity, and uncovers a myriad of social issues that have gripping modern relevance. ‘Omoiyari’ is a genre breaking, artistic exploration that fuses history, music, and the complexities of the human condition.

Anticipation is high for the arrival of Speckled Sussex chickens at the Reserve this spring. As part of the sustainable land management strategy, these chickens will play a vital role in clearing an 800ft area within the Buxton Bird Marsh and Pollinator Meadow this summer. Until the chicks are old enough to safely forage in their special enclosure in the Meadow in June, they are being housed at the Sheep Sheds.

Visitors have four opportunities to learn more about these baby chicks and this Meadow management project from dedicated Staff and Volunteers. Please keep in mind that these are growing animals and should only be admired from afar, under supervision. For health and safety reasons, please do not touch the chicks!

3/19 - THE LUNCHBOX (2013) - India (partially subtitled)
What happens when a lunchbox, lovingly packed by a wife, goes astray and lands on the desk of a much older man who finds her tender note and scrumptious food? Starring Irrfan Khan, this film delights as our lead starts to remember stories from his life.

3/26 - MARY & MAX (2009)
A young Australian girl sends off a letter to a stranger in NYC asking for a pen pal relationship. A cranky old Jewish recluse answers, and a funny, off-beat relationship is born.

4-2 - IL POSTINO (1994) - Italy (subtitled)
A simple Italian postman learns to love poetry while delivering mail to a famous poet, and then uses his own poems to woo local beauty Beatrice. Winner of Best Foreign Language Film statues all over the world.
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1995415065/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

4/9 - LETTERS FROM BAGHDAD (2016)
Gertrude Bell, sometimes called the female “Lawrence of Arabia,” was actually more influential and famous in her day than her colleague Lawrence. Bell was an explorer, spy, archaeologist and diplomat who helped shape the Middle East after World War I. In this PBS Documentary, narrated by Tilda Swinton, the story is told in the words of Bell and her contemporaries, chronicling Bell’s extraordinary journey into the uncharted Arabian desert and the inner sanctum of British Colonial power. Using excerpts from letters, private diaries, and official documents, the film takes us into a past that is eerily current.
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi415283737/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

4/16 - SWEET LAND (2005)
When a young German woman arrives in rural Minnesota as a mail-order bride, she meets Norwegian farmer Olaf, a fellow immigrant. Olaf's parents in Norway have arranged for the two to marry, but problems arise when she doesn't have the proper papers. Despite being unwed, the couple lives and farms together, causing a rift with their conventional community. Starring Alan Cumming and Jon Heard, "Sweet Life" is set in 1926 with stunning cinematography and a story as sweet as its title.

Dubbed "nothing short of masterful" by the Chicago Tribune, award-winning actor Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed stage portrayal of legendary comedian in this fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including “Hooray for Captain Spalding,” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style. Accompanied by his onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and Marx foil Margaret Dumont. A show perfect for all ages!

Jeffrey Moose Gallery is proud to announce a solo show of experimental photographs and mono prints by Bainbridge Island artist Mandi May for the months of April and May. A reception will be held on First Friday, April 5th from 6 to 8 PM. A Facebook tour of the exhibit will take place from roughly 5:20 - 5:40. On First Friday, May 3rd, Ms. May will do a demonstration of her non-traditional mono printing technique.

She has an unusual perspective on the land: her photos are carefully composed in-camera, without the use of software, using creative lenses, prisms and other objects to alter the field of vision. Her work often has a dream-like quality where water and sky merge seamlessly with forests and flowers. The juxtaposition of images often lends a sense of motion to her imagery, giving the viewer a sense of hovering above or passing by.

Her gelatin-plate monoprints are lighter but rich in texture and subtle in pastel hues and organic shapes. Split fountains of blended colors serve as gentle backgrounds and subtle amorphous shapes hover in the foreground. Instead of conventional metal or plexiglass plates, May uses flexible gelatin plates, which, combined with water-based inks, are re-useable and  good for the environment. These practices are a stark departure from traditional printmaking, which has been full of toxins throughout history.

Her education includes a BFA from Long Island University in New York, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Following college, Ms. May worked in the fine art printing business both in Seattle and in Arizona.

“My creative process is intuitive and experimental.Through the lens and printing plate, I paint images both familiar and imagined, merging form with emotion.” ~ Mandi May

​Polybanderous creates original songs that blend alternative, soul, rock, & pop genres. Drum and bass tracks are layered with live vocals, sax, and guitar celebrating a love for all the bands he’s lucky enough to be a part of.

The madness of music was planted into Bradford’s head by a tenor sax player in the London underground at age eleven. Since then he’s toured nationally and internationally, performed locally at notable venues like The Showbox, El Corazon, SeaTac Airport, The Crocodile, Neumos, Barboza, The Substation, Victory Studios, The Funhouse, and CenturyLink Field (during a Seahawks game), and has been featured on the television series Band In Seattle with Letters From Traffic.

“Dmitri Matheny is a jazz treasure. The lyrical Matheny has impressive chops, but it’s his warmth and soulfulness that win you over.”—All Music Guide

Acclaimed for his warm tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, American flugelhornist DMITRI MATHENY has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, traveling to 19 countries. With over 100 recordings to his credit, Dmitri Matheny has released 12 albums as a leader. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.”

Discover the hidden history of segregation in Washington State with the Racial Restrictive Covenants Project. Despite being outlawed, racist restrictions persist in property records across the state — a toxic residue from an era when local governments actively promoted racial segregation.

Join University of Washington researchers in exploring the local impact of housing segregation, the legacy of these practices on our communities, the archival research process, and the Covenants Homeownership Account Act (HB 1474), a landmark bill that will provide financial assistance to victims of racial restrictive covenants and their descendants.

The Racial Restrictive Covenants Project is powered by research teams at the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University and over 1,000 volunteers. Authorized by the State Legislature in 2021 under HB 1335, the project has identified roughly 50,000 restricted properties across the state, including 30,000 in King County and over 4,000 in Pierce and Snohomish County.

Jeffrey Moose Gallery proudly presents works on paper by artist Anne Greenwell for the months of February and March. A reception for the exhibition will be held on First Friday, February 2nd from 6 to 8 PM. A Facebook livestream tour of the show will run from about 5:20 to 5:40. A second reception will take place on First Friday, March 1st, also 6-8 PM.

I first showed Greenwell’s dazzling compositions back in 2009 when she and her family were living in Richland and her husband was working in a government energy lab.The rollicking kaliedoscopic compositions reminded me of the landscape along the Columbia River, but with a wild twist: inspired by fractals, Sacred Geometry and psychedelic art of the 60’s and 70’s. Originally a textile artist, it's easy to imagine the artist transposing quilt patterns into more fluid two dimensional compositions.

She works primarily on paper with a variety of of media: many types of markers, acrylics, pens and pencils. As as she explains, aspects of her work are driven from studying perspective. Often her grids suggest complex three dimensional spaces.

Though trained and still employed as a nurse, Greenwell has found art to be a compulsion and has woven it around her professional life, participating in group shows in the 80’s and 90’s in NYC, Chicago, Dallas and Austin before having a child in 2000. She has exhibited in Washington State since 2008. She recently told me that she wanted to “…make something big and something little. I want it to feel like it's moving. The world needs more color and light!”

"Omoiyari' a Japanese word that means to have sympathy and compassion towards another person. Join us at BIMA in Frank Buxton Auditorium to take a moment and commemerate the anniversary of the Executive Order 9066.

A universal concept in human interaction that is required for a sustainable society. In Omoiyari: a Song Film by Kishi Bashi, internationally acclaimed composer and songwriter Kaoru Ishibashi (professionally known as "Kishi Bashi") embarks on a personal quest by creating his music in locations relevant to the Japanese American Incarceration during WWII. It is on this journey in which Kishi Bashi comes to terms with his own identity, and uncovers a myriad of social issues that have gripping modern relevance. ‘Omoiyari’ is a genre breaking, artistic exploration that fuses history, music, and the complexities of the human condition.

Anticipation is high for the arrival of Speckled Sussex chickens at the Reserve this spring. As part of the sustainable land management strategy, these chickens will play a vital role in clearing an 800ft area within the Buxton Bird Marsh and Pollinator Meadow this summer. Until the chicks are old enough to safely forage in their special enclosure in the Meadow in June, they are being housed at the Sheep Sheds.

Visitors have four opportunities to learn more about these baby chicks and this Meadow management project from dedicated Staff and Volunteers. Please keep in mind that these are growing animals and should only be admired from afar, under supervision. For health and safety reasons, please do not touch the chicks!

3/19 - THE LUNCHBOX (2013) - India (partially subtitled)
What happens when a lunchbox, lovingly packed by a wife, goes astray and lands on the desk of a much older man who finds her tender note and scrumptious food? Starring Irrfan Khan, this film delights as our lead starts to remember stories from his life.
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2695342873/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

3/26 - MARY & MAX (2009)
A young Australian girl sends off a letter to a stranger in NYC asking for a pen pal relationship. A cranky old Jewish recluse answers, and a funny, off-beat relationship is born.

4-2 - IL POSTINO (1994) - Italy (subtitled)
A simple Italian postman learns to love poetry while delivering mail to a famous poet, and then uses his own poems to woo local beauty Beatrice. Winner of Best Foreign Language Film statues all over the world.
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1995415065/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

4/9 - LETTERS FROM BAGHDAD (2016)
Gertrude Bell, sometimes called the female “Lawrence of Arabia,” was actually more influential and famous in her day than her colleague Lawrence. Bell was an explorer, spy, archaeologist and diplomat who helped shape the Middle East after World War I. In this PBS Documentary, narrated by Tilda Swinton, the story is told in the words of Bell and her contemporaries, chronicling Bell’s extraordinary journey into the uncharted Arabian desert and the inner sanctum of British Colonial power. Using excerpts from letters, private diaries, and official documents, the film takes us into a past that is eerily current.
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi415283737/?ref_=tt_vi_i_1

4/16 - SWEET LAND (2005)
When a young German woman arrives in rural Minnesota as a mail-order bride, she meets Norwegian farmer Olaf, a fellow immigrant. Olaf's parents in Norway have arranged for the two to marry, but problems arise when she doesn't have the proper papers. Despite being unwed, the couple lives and farms together, causing a rift with their conventional community. Starring Alan Cumming and Jon Heard, "Sweet Life" is set in 1926 with stunning cinematography and a story as sweet as its title.

Dubbed "nothing short of masterful" by the Chicago Tribune, award-winning actor Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed stage portrayal of legendary comedian in this fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including “Hooray for Captain Spalding,” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style. Accompanied by his onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and Marx foil Margaret Dumont. A show perfect for all ages!

Jeffrey Moose Gallery is proud to announce a solo show of experimental photographs and mono prints by Bainbridge Island artist Mandi May for the months of April and May. A reception will be held on First Friday, April 5th from 6 to 8 PM. A Facebook tour of the exhibit will take place from roughly 5:20 - 5:40. On First Friday, May 3rd, Ms. May will do a demonstration of her non-traditional mono printing technique.

She has an unusual perspective on the land: her photos are carefully composed in-camera, without the use of software, using creative lenses, prisms and other objects to alter the field of vision. Her work often has a dream-like quality where water and sky merge seamlessly with forests and flowers. The juxtaposition of images often lends a sense of motion to her imagery, giving the viewer a sense of hovering above or passing by.

Her gelatin-plate monoprints are lighter but rich in texture and subtle in pastel hues and organic shapes. Split fountains of blended colors serve as gentle backgrounds and subtle amorphous shapes hover in the foreground. Instead of conventional metal or plexiglass plates, May uses flexible gelatin plates, which, combined with water-based inks, are re-useable and  good for the environment. These practices are a stark departure from traditional printmaking, which has been full of toxins throughout history.

Her education includes a BFA from Long Island University in New York, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Following college, Ms. May worked in the fine art printing business both in Seattle and in Arizona.

“My creative process is intuitive and experimental.Through the lens and printing plate, I paint images both familiar and imagined, merging form with emotion.” ~ Mandi May

​Polybanderous creates original songs that blend alternative, soul, rock, & pop genres. Drum and bass tracks are layered with live vocals, sax, and guitar celebrating a love for all the bands he’s lucky enough to be a part of.

The madness of music was planted into Bradford’s head by a tenor sax player in the London underground at age eleven. Since then he’s toured nationally and internationally, performed locally at notable venues like The Showbox, El Corazon, SeaTac Airport, The Crocodile, Neumos, Barboza, The Substation, Victory Studios, The Funhouse, and CenturyLink Field (during a Seahawks game), and has been featured on the television series Band In Seattle with Letters From Traffic.

“Dmitri Matheny is a jazz treasure. The lyrical Matheny has impressive chops, but it’s his warmth and soulfulness that win you over.”—All Music Guide

Acclaimed for his warm tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, American flugelhornist DMITRI MATHENY has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, traveling to 19 countries. With over 100 recordings to his credit, Dmitri Matheny has released 12 albums as a leader. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.”

Discover the hidden history of segregation in Washington State with the Racial Restrictive Covenants Project. Despite being outlawed, racist restrictions persist in property records across the state — a toxic residue from an era when local governments actively promoted racial segregation.

Join University of Washington researchers in exploring the local impact of housing segregation, the legacy of these practices on our communities, the archival research process, and the Covenants Homeownership Account Act (HB 1474), a landmark bill that will provide financial assistance to victims of racial restrictive covenants and their descendants.

The Racial Restrictive Covenants Project is powered by research teams at the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University and over 1,000 volunteers. Authorized by the State Legislature in 2021 under HB 1335, the project has identified roughly 50,000 restricted properties across the state, including 30,000 in King County and over 4,000 in Pierce and Snohomish County.
