As an avid frequenter of the businesses on Greenwood, I love all the bits and pieces this street has to offer. Whether I'm grabbing a quick snack, browsing vintage clothing, sitting down for hours with friends at 74th St, or even sharing my paintings with the coffee crowd on the walls of Herkimer, I find a vibrant energy in this long corridor that I hope comes through in the strokes of my artwork with different parts linking together. Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Artist Statement: My goal was to depict a journey through PhinneyWood, weaving in examples of its nature, welcoming charm, and landmarks that make this neighborhood special for both locals and visitors. Medium: Acrylic and ink on mixed media paper

Artist Statement: This piece honors the orca as a sacred relative and messenger of the deep.

Artist Statement: I know you've seen them, they rule this ridge. Some with an iron beak, others with a curious head tilt, circling and gliding from sea to lake in search of shiny things; they are the Crows. I created this piece because Seattle seems to have infinite crows. Their black wings are a perfect graphic contrast to the Emerald City's blue skies, and PhinneyWood's colorful brick buildings. Medium: Pen, paper, pixels

Artist Statement: This piece is my tribute to the spirit of PhinneyWood, expressed through four interconnected panels. As a resident of its sister neighborhood, Wallingford, I’ve often found myself wandering through Phinney, absorbing the sights and moments that give it character. From the animals at the zoo and people enjoying coffee at cozy cafés, to the sweeping views of Green Lake from hilltop homes, the steady stream of dog walkers, and the joyful energy of the local playground. I wanted to bring these distinct vignettes together in a way they don’t usually coexist, creating a scene that feels both familiar and dreamlike. My hope is that local passersby can spot something they recognize, and perhaps even see a bit of themselves in the story. Medium: Digital illustration

Artist Statement: This piece is inspired by the playful spirit of the Phinney/Greenwood neighborhood. I wanted to blend local landmarks and landscapes into a tapestry of perspectives. My process begins with freehand waves that evolve into layered textures and line work—creating a space where animals seem to have escaped the zoo to explore and play throughout the neighborhood. Medium: Digital

Artist Statement: I wanted this piece to be a reflection of the part of Seattle and this neighborhood I love: The water all around us, cherry blossoms, and the magic I felt when I moved here 10 years ago. I also wanted to capture the challenges of being at a growth point in one's life. I tried to capture the movement, overwhelm, uncertainty, and also beauty. This piece is in memory of my Mother, Sharon Lorraine Ross, whose eyes are heavily featured in the image and who passed away during its creation. Medium: Printmaking, collage, watercolor, acrylic paint

Artist Statement: Wild flowers as a symbol of community—distinct yet growing together in quiet harmony. Vibrant color contrasts Seattle’s typically grey with warmth and light. Medium: Jig-cut birch plywood, latex paint

From local icons to cherished community events, each element reflects the spirit of connection and shared experience that defines PhinneyWood. The artwork began as a hand-drawn sketch and was brought to life digitally through careful illustration, color, and texture. After more than 20 years of calling this neighborhood home, every detail holds personal meaning—woven together to celebrate the character and warmth of a place that continues to inspire me.

Artist Statement: A gallery wall collection—Nine drinks, nine moments, capturing the flavor of our neighborhood.

Artist Statement: Based on the work I created for the Utility Box on 60th & Phinney/SW Corner. The floating islands are like memories—perhaps the other details and landscapes are not visible to us, but there is a specific place in the clouds of our mind that we can visit. Many of us share these islands, making them iconic in our minds, but some, like this one, may belong to just one person. Medium: Paper cutout with mixed media
