Rooted in the PNW, these songs are the continual expression of the lifeblood of the artist, a mother to her own six children. Authenticity and vulnerability are the core values of the work, with musical influences including folk and jazz. Lyrically driven, these original songs bring the listener to the edge of transcendence through good humor and the idea that courage is our natural human capacity.
Maggie Jay
Textile and fiber art inspired by jawdropping nature scenes, the inspirational lives of LGBTQIA+ and the gorgeous Black culture of the U.S. I use fabric, paint, thread, metal, beads, yarn and even fake eyelashes to create my pieces. I am a self-taught textile and fiber artist, whose career started with photography about 10 years ago.My wearable art journey began about 18 months ago. It started with sketching a pair of earrings that had broken. I wanted to be able to commemorate them in some way. I drew my own version of them, which sparked a complete series I call Afro Goddesses.Much of my art incorporates old objects, tiny trinkets, and detailed work. Color plays a starring role in all of my wearable pieces, though pencil is my preference when drawing sketches.

I use fabric, paint, thread, metal, beads, yarn and even fake eyelashes to create my pieces. I love experimenting with the endless combinations of mediums to create the most profound pieces.

Redwood Naragon
Astrological mandalas which are a combination of micron pen and sumi ink. Redwood's journey as an artist began before this incarnation, that is for certain. One of his earliest memories is adding artwork to the wall of the game closet, which likely led to a spanking. While art was a natural focus throughout life, it was in 1997 that Redwood fully embraced this calling. In 1998 he both fell in love (again, in this lifetime) with sumi ink and a bamboo brush, and later in the year with creating astrological mandalas.
The artworks Redwood has been creating during the last year are primarily astrological mandalas, which are a combination of micron pen and sumi ink. Redwood has always strongly identified with being in the creative process, whatever that looks like, however that shifts and changes. He sees what comes through himself and any artist as a reflection of our relationships to things greater than us as individuals. Society may shine the light on the individual as the creator, but he believes that this is only half of the story of what is actually going on.

Jenna Fitton
Jenna Fitton ~ Multimedia art - Jenna Fitton is a multimedia artist and musician living in Olympia, WA. They primarily create art as a means of recontextualizing and surviving difficult
emotional states. This alchemical process draws the internal struggle outward and offers a great shift in perception of their human experience. Playing with color is cathartic and pleasurable - a connection to a younger and more imaginative self.
