FEATURED ARTIST: NOV. 2024 - JAN. 2025
BethAnn Lawson
BethAnn Lawson is a modern-impressionist painter who lives and works in Seattle, Washington.
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, she was taught by and is heavily influenced by her surrealist painter-father, who was a founding member of the San Francisco Street Artist Association.
After graduating from the Institute of Design in San Francisco, she moved to Seattle and spent over three decades as a textile designer, graphic designer and illustrator, but returned to her love of painting after the passing of her father in 2011.
BethAnn’s art embraces modern compositions—cityscapes, people, and landscapes. She uses the color black strategically to anchor the compositions, creating bold contrasts that deliver a contemporary edge, combining a sense of modernity, perspective and depth.
Up close, the paintings offer a slightly abstract view, drawing viewers in with intricate details that unravel and come into focus as they step back from the work. BethAnn often hides secret shapes and messages within, but also deliberately leaves spaces for the viewer's imagination to weave in their own narratives.
Her show at Vie & Vin features a few botanicals, harkening back to warmer days when the vineyards back home (Napa, California) were in bloom.

Brooke Fotheringham
Brooke Fotheringham is a West Seattle multimedia artist who studied photography, installation art, and costume design at The Evergreen State College and Northwest College of Art. Her experimental macro photographic work has shown locally and nationally for the past several decades. The work often focuses on celebrating what is just beyond visual perception with the human eye, and is presented in a way that centers form over subject to create abstract landscapes and atmospheric compositions.
In recent years Brooke has been exploring the intersection of synthetic biology and materials science, which has manifested as a mixed media series of biomorphic art installations, assemblages, surface pattern designs, and video art imagining futuristic applications for the naturally forming geometric patterns created by silica, cellulose, chitin, and chromatophores.
You can find more of her art and designs at www.brookefotheringhamart.myportfolio.com/

Kim Parsley
Kim Parsley has combined her passions for finding a new life for old things, elevating great design, and renewing the enjoyment of creating cocktails (spirit-free or spirit forward) into her vintage travel bars; affectionately named The Happy Travelers. Each Happy Traveler is designed around a wine experience or a specific cocktail and includes all the bottles, bar tools, and glassware needed for the creation and enjoyment of that cocktail. Because most items are vintage or second-hand, each travel bar is one-of-a-kind, creating a renewed purpose to items that would otherwise sit on a shelf or in a landfill.
Kim also brings together art and science in creating her original encaustic artwork, in which she uses liquid beeswax to express the unique juxtaposition of places or textures and objects that are otherwise not connected to each other.

Catherine Goron - Ocean Sky Lab
Catherine is a life-long photographer, paying close attention to the marvelous details around her. The backdrop in most of her work is Paris, France where she was fortunate to live with her husband and two boys; and the Pacific Northwest where she's currently based.
The Ocean Sky Lab Gallery Shop is about timeless designs that are both beautiful and useful for every day: fine art prints, portable calendars, and cards for all occasions. Nothing fills Catherine's heart more than hearing customers say that her photographs are the first thing they see in the morning and brighten their day. She strives to offer that same sense of beauty, function and connectedness in every aspect of her work.
A selection of Catherine’s prints and greeting cards are available for purchase at Vie & Vin.
