"Don Paulson grew up in Auburn, WA; was a contributor to Seattle Gay news; wrote about historic Seattle cabaret night clubs; and was a part of many LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Dawn (Paulson’s art pseudonym) created many works on paper that boil down large feelings and moments into simple color palettes and shapes. In this tiny, travel-size piece, a small white butterfly swoops away from hard, straight lines into a blurred abstract shape. Paulson seems to have gifted us a moment of joyful resistance to prescribed paths laid out by society."

Lately, I have been reflecting on art's place in the face of tragedy, of war, and of suffering. This piece, 'For Fukushima - Hannya-shingyo II', has always struck me visually, but it has captured my mind especially in this context. Hiroshima beautifully understands art as remembrance, art as witness, art as prayer. The artist's hands are felt in the texture of the handmade paper, in each layer of color applied, in each stroke of calligraphy. The language speaks of wisdom and in deep red, it is powerful but not forceful. The mountains are dark but they touch a bright sky. This piece naturally inspires honest reflection.

"I am so captivated by Rob Connell's less-is-more, no-nonsense, it-is-what-it-is ink and gouache paintings. There is plenty of texture where there should be, plenty of contrast throughout, and nothing else to get in the way. His skies are often stark white, untouched and overexposed, while his windows are pitch black, completely concealing any interior. This piece has all of Connell's best features topped off with a uniquely pink building, speaking for the under-appreciated textures of our cities."
