Three exceptional artists discovered at the Bellevue Festival of the Arts

Julia Adams Artist

 

 

Yes, she is giving you that look. Yes, that look.

And it's something to write home about, too. With an asking price of $17,000 Juli Adams' deeply quizzical artwork pierces the thin veneer of polite society and into your soul. You'd brush it off, if you could, but you can't. It's exceptional.

Piece by piece, Juli Adams delivers wrenching, penetrating images that both inspire and frighten you at the same time. You look. And you look again.

 

Jennifer Bowman Artist Festival of the Arts Bellevue

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Bowman changes the tempo with
works that my mother would swoon for.

Free-flowing, interpretive pieces of gardens and countrysides that you could come home to day after day, brilliant color in a creative "loosing of the tie".

Chardonnay, anyone?


James Kelsey Sculptor Bellevue Festival of the Arts

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our quest for the striking would not be complete without a hefty appreciation for a bit of the modern, specifically bronze, stainless steel, and stone sculpture that belongs in the gardens and houses of those not merely content with magnificence on the wall.

James Kelsey's sculpture is an experience in scale,  playfulness, and  presence.

While a painting can sit amicably by itself, Kelsey's sculpture demands dialog. Its strong, clean lines belong on the edges of pools and lakes, gracing zen gardens, and in the recesses of your imagination.

Sara, I was so bummed I didn't get to meet you at Inman. I guess I'm more like your mother I love the piece by Jennifer Bowman.

I'll take the Chardonnay....although a visit to a zen garden would work well for me right now!...

Missy, I like it too!!!!! But if my mom saw it.... well... she would become very upset at how expensive it is, LOL!!!! She would say, "This piece belongs in my home!"

HEHEHEHE Rich, love your humor!!!! Yes, I'd like a visit to a zen garden, too... ;)

I love the Juli Adams painting. It reminds me of a painting that I once saw at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Great art and nice people.

Hi Freddy! Juli's work stopped me dead in my tracks. It has so much presence that I almost tiptoed around it, forgetting I was in the open air and not inside a museum...

I vote for the field of poppies, although that sculpture would be fun to climb around on!
