||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Visit the Orcas Senior Center Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in March and April to enjoy artwork by local artist Paula Capitano, joined by repurposed works from John Ehrmantraut.
Working primarily in oils, Paula draws inspiration from Orcas Island’s natural beauty, especially mushrooms and madrona trees. A longtime island resident, she arrived in 1979 after purchasing the Cottage Gift Store and has been painting since her early 20s, first on driftwood and later in oils after studying with Terry Johnson.
Paula is also fondly known for her homemade cookies. Stop by to experience light-filled, nature-inspired paintings and creative, reimagined pieces.
