Excerpts: Art from 1996 - 2009
Joan Kimura’s work is her journal. It reflects her experiences past and present. As life changes, so does her expression of it from day to day, and Kimura has been a working artist for 53 years. Kimura has gained national attention for her work exhibiting in New York, Connecticut, Washington and Alaska. She is represented in three major museums in Alaska: Alaska State Museum, Juneau, Alaska State Museum, Fairbanks and Anchorage Museum of History and Art and has been recognized in numerous publications nationwide throughout her career. Kimura was Professor of Art at the University of Alaska, Anchorage and retired in 1994 to concentrate on bringing new changes to her work. Gallery 110 is proud to include Joan Kimura amongst its member artists, and to present a rich and diverse retrospective exhibition of her work.

Couplings:
Art by Seattle artist Li Turner
With Valentine’s Day in February, Couplings is a show depicting a wide variety of couples: women & men, men & men, women & women, old & young, all in a dazzling array of environments. The contexts of the couples vary widely; as far-flung as our solar system, as immediate as an umbrella. The individual pieces depict a wide range of activities: an embrace, a mutual smile, a flirting glance in the other’s direction. Pieces include Turner’s hand painted etchings, watercolor and gouache paintings.
