Art Source of the Day - January 16, 2007

The ArtSource entry for January 16, 2007, is the RiverSea Gallery of Astoria, which features original Northwest art, fine crafts, and exceptional jewelry. Visitors will find prints, paintings, pastels, photos, sculpture, glass, clay, and wood pieces. The gallery also exhibits contemporary works by coastal, northwest, and national artists.

Tom Benenati is a pastels artist whose pieces have appeared in RiverSea Gallery. He says the gallery's variety means there is something there for everybody. What especially inspires him is a sense of artists in community, "...a sense here of art as an endeavor, not so much as a product for retail." - Artisan Northwest magazine
