We received a second postcard from Thailand! Nikki Barber, the League’s printmaking instructor is spending one month as a studio-based artist in residence at Rajamangala University in Chiang Mai.

Nikki sent us another “postcard” via email. Look at her apron. The Seattle Artist League is now officially international!

Iryna Yermolova was born in Ukraine, and has lived in England since 2005. Her figurative works are illustrative, bold, spontaneous, and colorful. They can be a bit too illustration/pretty for my personal tastes, but they still give me some good inspiration for my own painted figurative studies.
