Featured Artist – Chelsea Brown
We are pleased to feature new artist, Chelsea Brown, during this month’s Tacoma Art Walk. Join us Thursday, April 20th 5-8pm to see this exciting collection of drawing and collage!
A sample of Brown’s work…
“Posture” Stripped down of all excess and resting on another language, posture expresses vulnerability.
“Alice in Wonderland” Peering into the unknown, Alice feels like she is falling down the rabbit hole, but she is in control this time.
“Are You Cussing with Me?” The fox holds an unknown power in its gaze, taunting and intriguing the viewer.

This month’s featured artist is Barbara Serry! She’ll be showing her fourth solo exhibition opening on the night of Tacoma Art Walk on March 16th. “Wild Love” is a showing of her most recent work made during the first few months of being a new mom.
