Art Attack with Staci Graveley!
Join us for a one night only, Twilight curated solo show at Stables on February 12th! Staci Graveley is putting on a solo show of paintings.
The 12th also happens to be Seattle's 17th annual celebration of Neighbor Appreciation Day and, in the neighborly spirit, Georgetown Brewery is hooking us up with some donated brew. Stop by between 6 and 9 PM for some snacks, drinks, and artwork during this month's Georgetown Art Attack! RSVP on facebook.
From the artist:
"As Gustav Klimt once said "Whoever wants to know something about me, must observe my paintings carefully and try to see in them what I am". I feel the same way. I have been told that my pieces are really moody or that it is hard to believe that one person did all of them. Most of what I do, I do because that is how I'm feeling at the time. Creating art is many things to me but mainly it is the best way I know how to express myself. I grew up in rural Montana and moved to the Seattle area in early 2002. Even with them being almost opposites, I feel that both have influenced my work. I work mainly with cattle markers, oil pastels and acrylics."

Hey there, I'm one of Twilight's new interns! My name is Sara and I'm from Lancaster PA. I'm working at Twilight for two months, and this is my first time in Seattle. So far it's been great.
One of the projects the girls at Twilight have me and their other intern Ellen working on is re-doing their window display. We're going to design a couple of displays for the upcoming months and then build as much of them as we can in advance so that they can easily be installed when it's time. For valentines day we're making a bunch of wax paper hearts to catch the afternoon sun and accompanying them with a suitcase full of handmade paper roses. Ellen and I did a couple of days of research looking for the best tutorials on paper rose making, and let me tell you, it was slim pickings. There's lots of beautiful pictures, but as far as instructions go, one seems to have a choice between paying for good tutorials or struggling through mediocre ones.
We eventually chose the latter and, as a bonus, have decided to share our new knowledge in our very own tutorials. Here is my interpretation of the paper rose; look at Ellen's version also.
