Windows into the Fantastical ... through Paint and Pixel

In this fun show, Erin Libby and Maggie Bates allow us a peek into the fantastical worlds created in their artworks. Erin, a well-known Bellingham artist working in watercolor, ink, oils and pastels, presents us with surreal, playful visions peopled by magical, improbable beings and creatures. Maggie, newer on the Bellingham art scene, illustrates her fairy tale children’s books in watercolor but has also embraced digital art, where she weaves animals, plants, and people into imaginative, often animated, compositions that reflect Celtic, fairytale, and steampunk influences. 

A show full of whimsical artwork for the curious mind, you’ll find vibrant art that explores everyday situations in fantastical realms and provides a glimpse into magical tales.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
