Artist’s Reception on Saturday, October 7, from 5 to 7 during Langley’s First Saturday Art Walk.

Rob Schouten Gallery, a premier showcase for Whidbey Island and Northwest artists, is located at 101 Anthes Avenue, Langley WA at the corner of First and Anthes. October Gallery Hours: Weekends 10 – 5, Weekdays 11 – 5, Tuesdays by appointment.

Metalsmith Mary Ellen O’Connor makes unique works in 24k gold on polished copper. Following her passion for animals, nature, and wildlife, her works exude a calm elegance influenced by Asian design and esthetics. After applying the gold leaf design, a process of heat treating the copper allows her to create iridescent color patterns, further enhancing the gold image.

Joining her is painter Anna Mastronardi Novak with exciting new multi-layered color pencil drawings depicting her native Italian landscapes and vistas, as well as imagery from around her home on Whidbey Island and the Northwest. Using a soft focus and often muted color palate her works are at once traditional in subject and contemporary and relatable.
