Beginning Monday, March 2 artist Jean Behnke will take over the art gallery in the lobby of the Administration building (1000 bldg.) with her show titled “The Geisha and the Hawthorn Stump.” The show runs through April 10.

In a show that represents an ongoing investigation of a self-created fable, Jean delights in the synchronicity of things, considering intersections of intimate and infinite experience that reinforce a sense of wonder. Jean’s inventive printmaking and sculpture easily crosses mediums combining materials/media and uses methods of casting, assemblage and relief printing.

Jean founded Anchor art space in 2008 and is currently a member of the La Conner Arts Commission. Jean lives in La Conner and on Lopez Island in northwest Washington State.

Be sure to stop by the art gallery in the lobby of the 1000 building and check out her work between March 2 and April 10!
