Bainbridge Island has produced a body of work that rivals any regional painting tradition in the Pacific Northwest — artists who have given sustained decades of attention to its light, its water, its relationship to the Olympic Peninsula and the Cascades across two bodies of water. Iconic Bainbridge is not a nostalgia show.
It is a contemporary argument about what serious regional painting looks like when the region is taken seriously as subject. Ainsworth's decades of plein air study. Guild's realism that tips into the psychological.
Wolf's water paintings that name specific channels and passages the way a marine chart would. This is the island's art — made by people who live here and have been looking for years. The Artists Diane Ainsworth · Taralee Guild · Ericka Wolf View All Artists → Diane Ainsworth Oil on Canvas · Pacific Northwest Landscape Ainsworth has spent decades studying Bainbridge Island light — the particular quality of the sky between seasons, the way water holds color at dusk on Rich Passage.
Her work is the visual record of a sustained relationship with place. View Biography → Taralee Guild Oil on Canvas · Realism · Atmosphere Guild's paintings occupy the territory between realism and atmosphere — the trailer reflections that tip toward abstraction, the forest canopies that dissolve into color field. Her Bainbridge work is the island seen by someone who understands its relationship to the Pacific.
