Artist’s Reception

Sunday, March 8th

1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Edmonds Art Walk

Thursday, March 19th  

   Gallery North presents “Spreading the Fire,” a luminous collection of paintings by well-known Pacific Northwest artist June McCallum. Each painting amplifies Christian themes with the use of bright and radiant colors in watercolor, acrylic, and multi-media collage.

   The inspiration for this collection comes from June’s personal wish to give thanks for her life’s miracles. Through her 86 years she has experienced many challenges including polio as a child and other severe illnesses as an adult. Despite the odds, June has been able to “pull through” and continue to paint and share her creative passion with others. “This is my thank you,” said June. “I want to do this now while I still can.”

   The public is invited to meet June McCallum on Sunday, March 8th at her artist’s reception from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Gallery North. Light refreshments will be served. The artist will also be available on Thursday, March 19th for the Edmonds Art Walk from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.

   June McCallum, a resident of Edmonds, is a prolific artist who has numerous awards and accolades to her credit. Her rich career history includes exhibitions at the Frye Museum and other prominent venues, abundant honors including several First Place awards at the Edmonds Art Festival, and years of incredible volunteer service helping others enjoy the satisfaction of creating.

   June is a member of Gallery North and contributes new works monthly.
