MaKiDa: Lenses on the World On view at the Historic Bayview Cash Store, Whidbey Island

Photographs by Marian Myszkowski, Kim Tinuviel, & David Freed

MaKiDa are three photographers with three different experiences and interpretations of the world around them. Their first exhibit together will be on display in the Front Room.

Travel is the muse for Marian Myszkowski's photography. She seeks to capture the feeling of being in another world, in another culture, in another state of existence when one is dropped into a landscape of unfamiliar sights and sounds. She has traveled extensively, primarily on her own, and has most enjoyed photographing Rome, Las Vegas, Barcelona, and Havana

Kim Tinuviel's work reflects the abstract textures and colors of our everyday world. She is currently exploring the third dimension of abstract textures and colors, printing on alternative materials and using photography as the medium. Also a fine musician, Kim has enjoyed bringing her joyful spontaneity and technical mastery to her photographic creations.

David Freed's forest walk series captures the mystery and sense of transformation that the forests close to his home on Whidbey Island hold for him. Based on an ongoing series of abstract forest photos he has taken over several years, David strives to capture the spirit and essence of the object he is photographing.

MaKiDa invite you to share in their experiences, experiments, and examinations of the world around them.

The Bayview Cash Store is located at 5603 Bayview Road, Langley, on South Whidbey Island. From the Clinton ferry dock, travel 7 miles on Highway 525 and turn right on Bayview Road. The Front Room is located on the second floor.

Upstairs in the Front Room

There's a chill in the air, the leaves are falling, and dogs all across Whidbey are wagging their tails just a little more impatiently. And you might wonder, why? You guessed it. The Mutt Strut dog parade and costume contest is just around the corner!

This year's prize categories are: best dog and owner costume combo, best trick, best dog costume, and best celebrity dog.

Ever-ebullient Jim Freeman emcees this menagerie while our literary panel of judges takes carefully crafted notes of your creativity and élan. You'll be dressing to impress Drew Campion, Molly Cook, Sue Frause, Elisabeth George, and Janice O'Mahony, led by MuttStrutJudgeforLife Emily Berg. You're gonna' have to be on your game!

All this dog on fun happens on Saturday, October 25, 11 am - 3 pm. Register for the Mutt Strut beginning at 12:30. The parade starts at 1:30 sharp.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

It's also Apple Day, so Bayview Farm & Garden will be hosting their spectacular apple tasting station. The Bayview Farmer's Market has all sorts of goodies planned. There's mask making in the Cash Store. And Ro Purser and Neil Brown are back this year to play bluesy, wistful, gritty, and heartfelt tunes about living large and loving hard.

See you at the Corner!

The Open Door Gallery + Coffee at Historic Bayview Cash Store Exhibits Jeanne-ming Brantingham's New Paintings

Whidbey Island residents and visitors now have the unique opportunity to see new portraits by Jeanne-ming Brantingham, currently on exhibit at the Open Door Gallery + Coffee at Bayview Corner. Jeann-ming grew up in Taiwan, a member of the third generation of expatriates living in Asia. Her great-grandmother arrived in Shanghai in 1896 from Ohio as a Quaker missionary doctor. Jeanne-ming spent her formative years living in and working on the island of Taiwan.

Jeanne-ming, always a portrait painter, began experimenting with various styles and media after she moved to Whidbey Island in 1995, her first experience living in America. Unbearably homesick, she began painting portraits of her childhood neighbors and friends to ease the distance. The intricate details of her friends' stories and the rich texture of their lives are a continual source of inspiration.

"Our family had a mission on Wu Fung Street in the southern town of Chai Ye which was devastated by an earthquake when I was aged seven. Many of the old houses and ways of life changed after the earthquake, but to me the biggest loss was that of our common use of a water pump located right in the middle of the street. I had loved to wash our dishes at that pump in the evenings while "eaves dropping" on our neighbors chattering over their sons and daughters. I came to know all the comings and goings of our neighborhood, the gossip and expressed longings, fears, and anxieties of the families who lived near our mission. The older I become and the more I paint, the more I long for the time before the earthquake when I could observe my neighbors while still remaining an "anonymous child". My paintings are of my neighbors of that time. I hope you will become as endeared to them as I am." Jeanne-ming Brantingham

The Open Door Gallery + Coffee at Historic Bayview Cash Store Exhibits Mark Fessler’s sculpture and Liza vonRosenstiel’s oil paintings November 3-29, 2009. The Opening Reception is November 7th, 5:30pm-8:00pm.

These two artists have taught together since 2002 through Coyote Central creating public works with middle school students in Seattle’s Central District each summer.

Mark Fessler began carving in his grandfather’s shop in northwest Iowa at age ten. Over the years, he was self-taught in stone carving as well. In 1979 he began using cast, forged and fabricated metals in conjunction with wood and stone. Since then there has been an ongoing dialogue of forms and materials with frequent use of the salvaged and reworked. Fessler has taught and exhibited extensively in many regions of the United States.

Liza vonRosenstiel’s oil paintings are inspired by the trees, sky, and water of Whidbey Island, combined with the stories that make up daily life- with all their complexity and mystery.
