More about the artists:

Liz Copeland

I am passionate about textiles, texture and color. I combine 24 years of fiber art experience with an exploration of my spiritual path.  My work captures those moments when we experience the connections between the different layers of our own being and the greater world. Whether it is as energy bodies dancing through life, or the plants and birds of the natural world where I find my spiritual center, my work expresses the feelings of those deeper connections.

Constance Perenyi

My medium is collage, most like the Japanese practice of “chigirie,” or painting with paper.  I tear, cut, and piece tiny bits of color and texture to create images of the natural world. My work is an expression of gratitude for a rich life, and for the companions of all species who fill my imagination and heart. I have been fortunate to work directly with many of the animals I illustrate. This show celebrates individual animals who have been, and will always be my muses.

The Gallery also features an array of handmade work by over 90 local artists. The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to nurture all of the arts in the community through programs and events, arts education, advocacy, and support for artists and arts organizations. Proceeds from The Gallery at Town Center help fund these programs and events.
