The Beignets and Martinis show features original artwork by ten local women artists. These artists first met and began painting together over 10 years ago at the Winslow Art Center (WAC) on Bainbridge Island, founded by Martha Jordan. Friendships and talents blossomed and grew at the many in-person workshops, classes, and gallery shows at Winslow Art Center.
In 2020, when COVID-19 restricted most in-person gatherings, and Winslow Art Center was forced to go online, Martha set up Zoom calls and named the group, “Beignets and Martinis”. Although some are primarily studio painters, many met outside and painted “en plein air.”
As restrictions have lifted, Beignets and Martinis, meet to paint indoors as well as en plein air, and thus the exhibit combines both studio and plein air works. Each artist’s work is a unique expression of their individual journey, showcasing their personal growth and creative style, says Linda Meier, the library’s art coordinator.
The Artists: Diana C. Benjamin, Kristen Carpenter, Joanmarie Eggert, Gigi Godfrey, Nina Jackson. Nora Masters, Bernadette Neff, Hilary Newberry, Joanne Onorato and Laurie Rose.
