July Show
GALLERY HAPPENINGS IN JULY
Northwind Arts Center’s July exhibition will feature the work of two Port Townsend artists, Bill Curtsinger and Inge Norgaard.
Bill Curtsinger, a photographer who moved to Port Townsend in 2006, specializes in underwater and natural history subjects. During the Viet Nam War he was a member of the elite navy Photo Unit, Atlantic Fleet Combat Camera Group. He is also a graduate of the U.S. Navy Dive School and has photographed 33 articles for national Geographic Magazine. Other photographs and stories have appeared in Smithsonian, Outside, Time, Newsweek, Audubon, Geo, Paris Match and many others.
He is a founding member of the Maine-based art group “10×10” and a founding member of Port Townsend’s printmaking cooperative, Corvidae Press. His latest book, “Extreme Nature-Images from the World’s Edge” is a 400-page retrospective of his work. It was published in nine languages and in 11 countries in 2005.
Inge Norgaard was born and raised in Denmark where she studied printing and graphic design and then turned to weaving, apprenticing with some of Denmark’s most renowned weavers.
In 1981 she came to Port Townsend with her American husband and has exhibited in many American venues internationally. Norgaard says that as she grows older she has broadened her artistic life and has been doing work in mixed media, painting, printing and carving. She is also a member of Corvidae Press. “One almost becomes euphoric with so many choices,” she says, “the point, however, is to sharpen the way in which to express myself.”
The July show will include photographs and prints by Curtsinger and an assortment of work by Norgaard, including her tapestries. The show opens on Friday, July 5 and runs through Sunday, July 27.
Please come to meet the Artists during Gallery Walk on Saturday, July 6 from 5:30 to 8 pm at the Northwind Arts Center located at 2409 Jefferson Street in Port Townsend.
