SUMMARY:"Salish Explorations" Watercolor Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Exploring light and atmosphere through watercolor field paintin
 gs\, Maria Coryell-Martin’s featured artwork is primarily from two resid
 encies—one aboard the Port Townsend-Coupeville ferry in fall 2025\, and 
 another at Fort Worden through Centrum in spring 2026. May 1- September 6\
 , 2026 Thursday- Sunday\, 12 – 3 p.m. Gallery is open 5 – 8 p.m. on th
 e First Saturday of each month. Additional programs for the public will be
  offered Works are for sale. Exhibit admission is free; donations are welc
 ome. Artist Statement: In the field\, I sketch with ink and watercolor to 
 build a “palette of place\,” a vocabulary of color\, climate\, and sto
 ries. There’s an immediacy and urgency to field sketching that I love: t
 he broad brushstrokes\, the rain sometimes falling on my paper\, and the d
 istillation of the landscape’s essential elements through watercolor. In
  turn\, this fieldwork becomes the basis for larger studio paintings and a
  chance to revisit and refine my vision as it was captured in the moment. 
 I hope my exhibit inspires you to cultivate a deeper appreciation for our 
 changing marine landscape\, to see the familiar in a new light\, and to se
 ek adventures close to home. Artist Bio: Maria Coryell-Martin is an expedi
 tionary artist\, continuing the tradition of traveling artists as naturali
 sts and educators. Upon graduating from Carleton College in 2004\, she emb
 arked on a year-long Watson Fellowship to explore remote landscapes throug
 h art. This experience sparked a resolve to continue working as an expedit
 ionary artist\, focusing on polar and glacier science\, and to inspire env
 ironmental awareness in audiences of all ages. Maria’s travels have brou
 ght her face-to-face with polar bears\, leopard seals\, emperor penguins\,
  and narwhals. In the field\, Maria sketches and paints to build a “pale
 tte of place\,” a vocabulary of color\, climate\, and stories. This work
  becomes the foundation for developing art and stories in her studio to cu
 ltivate care and curiosity for the world around us. Inspired by her experi
 ences making art in rugged\, remote areas\, Maria developed her own expedi
 tion-ready tools for sketching and painting and shares them with the world
