Following are the Central Washington artists selected for the new Fall/Winter 2025-26 Windows Alive! exhibit, including an excerpt from their artist bios/statements,
- Bea Plath: “I began painting in 2011 to fill my winter days after retirement. Around the same time, I heard the term, ‘Vocation of Love,’ from a friend. I began painting with that vocation in mind.”
- John Fannin: “Seeking the uncommon in the common is the theme that runs through my photographs in this collection taken in 2024 and 2025 in Budapest, Hungary.”
- Dani Redfeldt: “My work blends techniques from both acrylics and oils to create tranquil, harmonious landscapes that evoke a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.”
- Mary Hale: “I started painting seriously when I was about 15, using tempera paints and a lot of hopes and prayers. From there, I got into acrylics and later branched out into oil paints and mixed media pieces.”
- Ketsiri and Daniel DeBord: “Our photography is a celebration of nature’s beauty, capturing the awe-inspiring landscapes and delicate details that make each place unique.”
The Yakima Arts Commission, an advisory group appointed by the Yakima City Council, developed the Windows Alive! idea to harness the creativity of Central Washington artists.
Now in its 12th year, Windows Alive exhibits have featured artwork of over 150 Central Washington artists.
Following a submission and evaluation process, the above artists were chosen to be part of the latest “Windows Alive!” exhibition.
