The gallery has continued its support of environmental organizations this month. We have started working with the Sierra Club to help them support their donors in their Washington Legacy council. In March, the Sierra Club and the gallery hosted a reception for the Legacy Council members. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels attended and spoke about climate change and the movement within city government to reduce carbon emissions and conserve energy resources. We thank the Sierra Club and the Mayor for helping to make for such an enjoyable and stimulating evening at the gallery.
On Friday, April 11th the Seattle Times ran an article about Senator Patty Murray and the anticipated passage of legislation to bring the Wild Sky Wilderness Area into reality. The Times article was illustrated with a photograph of Eagle Lake in the Wild Sky that Steven made last summer while shooting the Wilderness Society. We thank the Wilderness Society for including the image on their press release and look forward to the final passage of this bill which will perserve the Wild Sky Wilderness area in the North Cascades.
Steven’s image “Spring Aspens, ” graced the cover this month of the American Psychologist, the primary journal of the American Psychological Association. This is our second American Psychologist cover. We thank Sandy Fowler and the APA editorial staff for helping to make these covers a reality.
Finally this month, there has been a change or personnel at the gallery. Brie Everard will be leaving the gallery director position but will be staying on as our Digital Imaging Specialist. Caron d’Amelio is the new Gallery Director. Caron comes to us from Kirsten Bunney Gallery in Maui, HI. Please call or stop by the gallery, and we can show you our beautiful landscapes in color or black and white, set up a portrait session or arrange for a private party.
