Stop by the Gallery at the Park this April to see a colorful exhibition from Katherine Sylvan and Linda Ellis Andrews!
Katherine Sylvan is a fiber artist currently working with quilts and interlacements. She earned a Master of Arts in Weaving and Textile Design and Clothing Design from Wayne State University in Detroit.
Sylvan uses the colors of nature as her artistic inspiration, and she enjoys taking risks with unusual combinations. Her current projects explore the color and design of Eastern Washington’s agricultural landscape, often using abstract silk collages with multiple layers of surface design.
“I hope that my work will assist newcomers to the Inland Northwest to look more closely at the beauty and energy of the landscape which surrounds us,” Sylvan says.

Linda Ellis Andrews was an acclaimed glass and bronze artist. Before she passed away in 2022, she spent three decades creating and exhibiting fused glass and cast bronze art, always doing her own casting, welding, and finish work.
Andrews fell in love with glass fusing after taking her first class in 1988. In 1991, she attended the world-renowned Pilchuck Glass School and was one of the few students to have a piece in the year-long Pilchuck Glass Exhibit at SeaTac Airport.
Since 1992, Andrews’ work has won many awards and has been shown across the nation and internationally. Her art resides in public and private collections worldwide.
