BigFoot, Sasquatch, Yowie, Yeti all names for our fury Hide and go seek Friuend that lives amoung us in the PNW, but for many true Believers of bigFoot it is an Experience> Not only is BigFoot Mysterious but is very cultural and Native Americans in Washington State , the Sasquatch is very serious and very much a part of their culture for they are considered “The Watchers ” and “The Protectors of the Forest”, I wish to eventually have a Museum and a Cultural Interpretive Center to educate and to protect the Species. Eventually as our technology increases we will have identified and added Sasquatch to our list of Native Species …In Fact The Army Core of Engineers has already done so …There was a book put out by the Army Core of Engineers in the early 1970’s where the book listed 4 pages of Genius/ Species and Habitat of Sasquatch in Washington State, and guess what ? ..The residents/ taxpayers of Washington actually paid for the distribution of the book ” The Genius and Species of Washington State. Regardless many Native Americans and true belivers feel that Sasquatch is very Magical and has many capabilities that us humans may have but don’t use like telepathy for example. My artwork will express the roles and function of Sasquatch and its importance in the Natural World and Food Chain. The Artwork will also express the importance of light, and beautiful sinquences of the Natural World and a world “Before” Humans transformed our every day environment of concrete, paved roads, and destruction of our environment. Nothing Negetive will be portrayed, Only Beautiful , Postive Portrayls and Reflections of what Sasquatch sees “Through Their Eyes” , Some written words, some poetry, mixed media, Murals, Watercolor, Acrylic, Oils ect

I have always been drawing ever since I was a kid. I would always bring my sketchbook with me everywhere I went. I always loved to use art as a way to express what was on my mind in a way that words could not articulate. I have grown to have a strong attachment with acrylic painting over the years and bringing an image to life on top of layer after layer of dried paint. Art is a journey I have learned to be significant in finding myself through exploring the blank pages of a sketchbook to the expanse of a canvas.

“My art is a reflection of how I feel at the time I make the piece. I find myself putting a lot of emotion into the pieces rather than outwardly to others. I want viewers to find my work somewhat unsettling, humorous, and maybe even relatable. Over the years I have enjoyed sketching faces with exaggerated features that I like or do not like about myself. I have spent many years developing my moody art style and recently applied it to many different animals in my prints.”- MEG

Nothing to be afraid of – Dan McCann | Opening Reception

This show reflects fears found in everyday life. As a child, I felt like I was afraid of everything. My worst fear was fear of the dark. I also did not have the best self esteem, and often felt that things were my fault and that I was in the wrong. This all relates to my art in the present time as an adult. My art often has an inward looking darkness to it. I see art in everything, especially found objects, including in the natural world. I describe my art as having arbitrary order, which to me means everything used in the final art piece comes together in some kind of order or thematic way.
