May 2012 – Art Walk Color Theme was AQUA!
To create inclusion between everyone, you are encouraged to participate in the Art Walk’s monthly color themes as a fun community activity in any creative form they wish to express it, including dressing in it. May’s color theme is Aqua inspired by our natural resources, creativity, positive partnerships, and revolutionary ideas.

Our mission is to create approachable and accessible art and cultural venues that encourage the community to connect and celebrate expression and diversity.
Please participate with our creative community this month online at our Facebook Page at facebook.com/sequimartwalk utilizing distance socializing. #sequimbff Please stay home, be healthy, and keep creating!

Nigeria, Utah canyon country, France, New York, and the Pacific Northwest. Liisa
is inspired by the natural world including the wonderful colors and patterns of
landscape and the human environment. She began focusing on art after retirement
to Sequim, taking classes in drawing and painting, employing sewing skills in creative
ways to make art quilts, fabric collages, and wearable art. She benefits from the

around her. Many of her collages are inspired by photographs he has taken.
