 Pet Shop
According to the 2009/2010 National Pet Owners Survey, 62% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.4 millions homes. Artist Sara Everett explores this culture of household animals through oil painted portraiture.
The show features an assortment of creatures one would find in a traditional pet shop from birds & fish to rats & cats including some kinetically interactive works that blend her oil paintings with animation.
 
 

 Biography:

Sara Everett is a mixed media artist currently living in Seattle, WA. She primarily works in oils on wood, but also has an extensive past with embellished fabric arts under the pseudonym Rekoj.

 

Previously, Ms. Everett has explored many forms of non-traditional artistic expression employing recycled materials and exploring the versatility of "wearable art". Regardless of the media she works in however, she has always found refuge in the contrast between her materials and the strong graphic line. With her line drawings she is continually trying to capture the essence of movement within form - animations without film.
