Kay French, Jerry Iverson, Estate of Jay Steensma January 20 - February 28, 2009 Kay French      Birch  2008 Kay French has a fascination with science, and for the past few years her artistic focus has been highly influenced by the study of botany. Through her precise collection and study of plant specimens, her detailed paintings show the beauty of disregarded plants (many often designated as weeds). The care in rendering and composition offer the viewer a path to a measure of transcendence. Jerry Iverson      Line Bomb 10  2009 Jerry Iverson layers tissue paper, sumi ink, rabbit skin glue and varnish which he applies to gessoed panels. Iverson works boldly, inspired by shadow and silhouette as much as abstract expressionism or mark-making. However, there is a sensibility in the compositions that evoke modernist greats such as Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell. Jay Steensma      Untitled (Red Fish Blue House) Jay Steensma, the second generation of the NW Mystic School, was born in Idaho in 1942 and reared in eastern Washington, educated at the University of Washington School of Art and a resident of Seattle between 1959 and his untimely death at age 52. Signature works on canvas and on paper will be featured in this exhibition. Works by Mr. Steensma are in the permanent collections of the Portland Art Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, The Henry Gallery at the University of Washington, the University of Oregon Art Museum and numerous other art institutions. The Pulliam Deffenbaugh Gallery has represented the work of Jay Steensma since 1989 and now represents his estate.
