WHY MAKE A linocut print, instead of a painting? For Northwind Art Showcase Artist Kelli MacConnell, it's the joy of surprise. The many unpredictable factors in printmaking thrill her.
A FULL-TIME artist and mother who lives in Chimacum, Kelli will give a free artist talk **and a demonstration!** this Sunday, [Aug. 10] at Northwind Art’s Jeanette Best Gallery, 701 Water St. The 3 p.m. discussion of printmaking, inspiration and the creative process is open to everyone!
MacConnell’s large-scale, two-tone creations, including “Moonlit” and “Gold Giant Redwood,” are on view in the Northwind gallery’s “Showcase 2025” exhibition. This show, on view through Sept. 8, is devoted to 14 local artists, who also include painters, sculptors, a ceramicist, a photographer and a mosaicist.
MacConnell grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and became an avid outdoorswoman, through-hiking the Appalachian Trail and trekking sections of the Pacific Crest Trail. She made her way to Portland State University, where she earned her bachelor of fine arts degree and discovered her passion for printmaking.
MacConnell is dedicated these days to creating “original, introspective art in hopes that it will speak beyond the frame, fostering a healthier relationship between humans and nature.”
