“Into the Blue” by Marie Plakos

Each artist was challenged to literally or figuratively create artwork with Out of the Blue as its theme. At this exhibit you will see contemporary quilts, handmade and hand-dyed textiles, mixed media, wearable art and wall pieces.

With 32 members all residing on Whidbey Island, this SDA chapter has been an inspiration to many.  Their successful show at the Schack Art Center in Everett was fabulous.  You can read more about Whidbey Island SDA and look at profiles of their members on their blog.
