Among the tribal people of the Northwest cultural area there are four worlds. The natural worlds are the Sea, Land and Sky, abundant with life familiar to us: Eagles, Ravens, Killer Whales, Salmon, Bears, et.al. The fourth world, or Spirit World, is accessed only by certain people, often with the assistance of particular animals and their power. The same animals that we recognize today long ago interacted with humans, resulting in remarkable, or supernatural, events that enhanced the human realm. Raven stealing the Sun, Moon and Stars to bring us light is likely the best known. Geographical features and supernatural animals such as Thunderbird are also involved in many parts of tribal histories. Natural & Supernatural: Contemporary Art of the Northwest Coast, our latest show at Gallery Cygnus is part of the ever-evolving tradition of representing the history, mythology, identity and ownership for the people of the coast. Individual artists in this show work within this context, but they also exhibit a wide range of style and expression. They push the boundaries through this effort.

Anne Schreivogl has evolved into an artist with stature and a growing fan base in an amazingly short time. Her whimsical notions in paint are a refreshing antidote to Northwest gloom and belie a serious study of color.

What is also perhaps not apparent is that behind such sensual delight is an artist with humanitarian intentions.

Anne has committed to delivering 40 paintings to Japanese citizens who continue to be displace by the March 11th, 2011 tsunami. She will hand deliver this work exactly one year after the desaster.

You can view Anne’s new work and support her endeavor. See this heartfelt work. Purchase one of the paintings in the gallery and help send Anne on her way to Japan with the 40 cherry blossom paintings she created especially for the people who are still living in temporary housing, awaiting relief. (Many of the paintings are 5 x 5 inches and are only $200!)
