11th Ave Art Collective

How did you get involved in making and creating?
“We are a group of neighbors who, upon discovering that we each had a passion for making art, decided to band together and share our work in the Phinney Art Stroll.”
What is your favorite part about participating in the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll?

AA ArtWork
Makes: Original abstract ink drawings and unique home items with original prints
How did you get involved in making and creating?
“I have dreamt of being an artist since I was four years old. As I entered adulthood I gave up my dream in pursuit of a ‘stable’ career. Luckily, my love of creating never left. In the last year, I have dived back into my true passion, art. This is the first time I will be selling my artwork publicly. I’m excited to finally share my passion with the world.”
Andrea Lewicki Art
Makes: Sewn collage art, collage kits, and tiny pieces of joy
What inspires you to make and create?
“I use art to play with structure. With collage, most of my time is spent cutting up materials, dissecting them into parts. When it comes to assembling new work, there is so much opportunity for reinvention, for seeing things in ways I never imagined. This never gets old!”
What is your favorite part about participating in the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll?
“I love the community feel of the neighborhood and I enjoy talking with everyone who comes out to see the art.”
Art-Maranth Designs
Makes: Original mixed media paintings, journals, cards, and prints
How did you get involved in making and creating?
“I arrived in Seattle in 2000 after I graduated from Instituto de Bellas Artes in Ceramics from Mexico City. Since then I started teaching art within my Spanish speaking community and that led me to become a full time Teaching Artist. During all these years I’ve been creating lessons and exploring different mediums: acrylics, recycle, watercolors, etc. I create something on a daily basis: a sketch, a pinch pot, a paper sculpture. Most of the time I create small series of Mixed Media with different themes.”
Blue Daisi
Makes: A journal for daydreaming
What is your favorite part about participating in the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll?
“Meeting the people who will use these journals face-to-face.”
Blue Fish Stained Glass
Makes: Stained glass art and home decor
What inspires you to make and create?
“I make a variety of pieces – from home decor to the tiniest of suncatchers. I work hard to expand my artistic horizons. My glass mountain arrangements and abstract water pieces are among my favorite – and absolutely inspired by my love of the outdoors. Hard not to live in the PNW and not feel a blanket of inspiration.”
What is your favorite part about participating in the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll?
“Love that this stroll has become an annual event in the Phinney-Greenwood community! It’s quickly become my favorite way to kick off the summer.”
Brightspot Design
Makes: Greeting cards, art prints, vinyl stickers—often PNW and food themed.
How did you get involved in making and creating?
“My goal is to design cards and prints that stand out, are hand crafted, and special—not something you could find just anywhere. Each colorful card has an expressive hand drawn quality and whimsy. A lot of the time they’re straight up punny.”
Glass Art Creations by Michelle Parnes, Majken Ryherd, & Bridget Culligan
Makes: Glass art for home and garden
How did you get involved in making and creating?
Michelle: “I have always had my hands engaged in some aspect of creating from quilting to making jewelry. In 2019 I was looking for something to do during spring break and called Seattle Mosaic Arts, a place I had driven by many times.”
Majken: “The ceramic platter with my son’s handprints on it broke and I couldn’t bear to part with it. I stumbled across Seattle Mosaic Arts and my wonderful mosaic journey of 13 years began!”
Bridget: “I fell in love with glass. I love the color and the texture and the way the light transforms as it moves through this transparent material. I started as a glass blower. I love the way that molten glass can be pushed and pulled, it can be rolled and blown like a balloon! And then when it’s cool it’s sharply dangerous.”
Hello Liv
Makes: Up-cycled, hand-dyed home goods
How did you get involved in making and creating?
“I’ve always created custom dyed, repurposed, and up-cycled items for my own home. After I left my former career as an elementary teacher I wanted to immerse myself in joyful activities and share these little items that bring me joy with others.”
What is your favorite part about participating in the PhinneyWood Art Sale & Stroll?

“As a kid, I vividly remember collecting acorns and flowers in my overall pockets on hikes, bringing them back home, and drawing my nature treasures or painting what I saw on my Fisher-Price easel. My passion for creating grew as I did and after practicing and refining my skills throughout adolescence, I received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art and a Master’s of Art Education. Now I’m an elementary art teacher for Seattle Public Schools and own a small business selling my art. I love teaching young artists and sharing the magic of making every day.”
Lee Harper Photography

I got to learn welding, knife smithing, metal lathe machining, and other various skills in my metal shop class in Hydaburg throughout Jr. High & High School. Most of my friends and family are creators, innovators, or visionaries in one form or another. Whether they be tattooers, graffiti writers, graphic designers, clothing designers, photographers, videographers, writers, painters, native artists, welders, lyricists, beat makers, sculptors, so on and so forth. I’m extremely fortunate to be able to say that I’ve learned a little from each and every one of one of them, and still do to this day.”

Puget Sound Pottery

Rejuvenated Art
Makes: Custom framed, original art, various media
What inspires you to make and create?
“With this particular project, inspired during the Pandemic, watching the incredibly long lines at the local Goodwill I couldn’t help but imagine all the original art that was going to end up as landfill. Most people that visit that section are primarily looking for frames. And the fact that I work at a Custom Frame Shop. Rejuvenated Art was a no-brainer.”
Seth Fields Woodblock Prints
Makes: Original, hand carved woodblock prints

Shay D.Design
Makes: Powerful gemstone jewelry with 14k gold-fill metalwork

Urb.Em.Sketches
Makes: Fun and quirky watercolors of beloved Phinney Ridge and Seattle locations, affordable art prints, custom pieces, cute miniature paintings, hand drawn maps, and more
What inspires you to make and create?
“Places have stories, and I feel like sketching and painting allows me to be a collector of those stories. When I am drawing Nutty Squirrel Gelato I’m not just outlining the architecture – I’m thinking about the lovely owners, and the time my friend bought me a chocolate sundae for my birthday. I want that love to show up in my art. I love looking at old maps, or historical records of what a building has been in the past. It is just a joy to really get to know a place.”
Women Dancing with Vegetables
Makes: Delightful refrigerator magnets, greeting cards and prints
What inspires you to make and create?
“As an artist I am enchanted with the color beauty and grace inherent in fresh vegetables and fruit. I combined these two passions in the series of 23 playful paintings entitled Women Dancing with Vegetables. These paintings depict the wonder and joy that comes from eating vegetables and fruit that are brimming with life force. When we eat these life plants, we infuse our bodies with vitality. I wanted to create artwork that would brighten the kitchen, send a smile to someone in a card. The refrigerator magnets can remind you that you have vegetables waiting to be steamed or made into a salad to be eaten before they wilt!”
