EAFA Welcomes January Guest Artist Stephanie Hargrave
Crossroads Community Center
Tuesday, January 14, 12:30 – 2:30pm
Stephanie Hargrave has been painting and working in clay since college, where she studied ceramics, color theory, sculpture, drawing, painting and writing. She has shown her work across the US and in Stockholm Sweden. Her paintings are in several corporate collections including Swedish Hospital, UW Medical Center, Barclays International in Texas, the Abri Hotel in San Francisco, and Kaiser Permanente in Baltimore. She has had 21 solo shows, participated in over 100 group shows, donates to auctions annually and has taught for 17 years. In early 2020 she moved to Brooklyn, NY and was instrumental in facilitating discussions and mentoring artists via the Yellow Chair Salon program. After 3 years of working and showing in NY, she moved back to Seattle to focus on sculpture and reunite with her own kiln. She has a studio in Pioneer Square’s Art District at the Tashiro Kaplan Building where she makes encaustic paintings, clay/encaustic sculpture and works on paper, all inspired, essentially, by biology. Her 25-year studio practice is her very nucleus.
Stephanie will demonstrate some aspect of her work at the general meeting.

Public Art: Since 1986 we have exhibited members artwork through the Healing Arts Program at Overlake Hospital. We currently exhibit in four different areas and the exhibits rotate on a quarterly basis. EAFA has coordinated with two local libraries to exhibit art, Bellevue Public Library and Newcastle. These venues change art on a quarterly basis. There is also a chance to showcase your art on-line in our quarterly members exhibit on the EAFA website. We collaborate with other arts groups to organize an annual juried exhibit in a location in the Puget Sound area.
Plein Air: A spring through fall Plein Air painting program at locations around Puget Sound gives EAFA artists a chance to practice in the open air with other artists. All levels of art expertise are welcome.
Meetings: Evergreen Association of Fine Arts Members enjoy monthly meetings with professional artist presentations, an opportunity to participate in an art critique session and to showcase your latest art work as well as meet other artists.
Scholarships: Evergreen Association of Fine Arts is a 501c3 organization and we hold an annual Artists Rummage Sale to raise donations for a scholarship to an educational charity.
