||| FROM AYN GAILEY |||
Winston Wachter Fine Art in Seattle will be exhibiting the works of Orcas Island artist Kandis Susol, with an artist reception on Saturday, May 11th.
The exhibit, Letters from Earth and Sky, is a body of work inspired by her participation in a group exhibition at the Museum of Northwest Art, focusing on climate change and its effects on coastal communities. In Letters from Earth and Sky, Susol creates impressions of shifting landscapes and the voids created over time.
Susol’s works retain their sense of gentleness, delicacy and harmony, while clearly showing how that balance can be shaken with shifting tides. Letters from Earth and Sky also draws inspiration from the light around us and the land supporting our future.
Susol has studied fiber arts, paper making and encaustics throughout her career. She has exhibited at the Bellevue Arts Museum and the San Juan Museum of Art, as well as numerous exhibitions throughout the Northwest.

Congratulations, Kandis. I have derived hours of pleasure looking at your spectacular pieces in the Orcas Center lobby while volunteering for the Chamber Music Festival for many years. I am captivated by their delicacy and strength and changing impressions depending on the light and shadows. I am awed by the creativity and skill I can only imagine that you devote to this medium.
What a delight to see this exhibit coming! Congratulations!
Ayn,
Thank you so much for informing us about Kandis’s show, and for including the link about Kandis from the Winston Whachter gallery. I was grateful to be able to watch the short video clip in which Kandis talks about her process, and shows her at work as she explains how she makes the fiber strips with which she creates her art.
Kandis,
I’ve always been entranced by your creations, and watching the video helped me to appreciate what you do even more.
Jean
Congratulations Kandis! I am sure it will be a fabulous show
