Opening Reception: October 10, 5-8pm

Karen & Jasen Willenbrink-Johnsen, a husband and wife team, are equally accomplished glass artists who share a love of nature and bird watching. They work collaboratively to find ways to translate the colors, patterns, and textures of flora, rocks, and animals into amazing glass sculptures. And the friends they have invited for this group exhibition are all prominent glass artists in the Pacific Northwest.

This exhibit will also feature the works created by their close friends:
