If you are in Petersburg, don't miss your chance to see the Portable Southeast curated art exhibit at the Clausen Memorial Museum, showing now through Friday, February 24th.
This watercolor and ink piece was completed in 2020 by Ellie Sharman and is called 'Outer Coast Treasures'. These treasures were collected while hiking the beaches of Southeast Alaska's outer coast between Cape Spencer to Yakutat.
Artist Statement: "I have lived and worked in Glacier Bay and Gustavus since 1983. I have a passion for sewing, quilting, and all things fabric. My small art quilts are inspired by the natural history of Southeast Alaska and from living in rural Alaska. My designs use a rich palette of brightly-colored batik fabrics and are finished with free-motion quilting. During the pandemic I began to experiment with watercolor painting. I enjoy keeping a sketchbook where I document my travels, flowers that are blooming, and Southeast landscapes in ink and watercolor."
