Artist Susan Swapp featured at First Friday event

Garry Oak Gallery’s featured artist, Susan Swapp, will host the Gallery’s First Friday event in downtown Oak Harbor from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 3.

Organizers invite those interested to join her for chocolates, wine, great art and a front row view of construction on Pioneer Way.

Swapp, who said she is basically self-taught, paints a variety of subjects and doesn’t limit herself.

“I work in most mediums,” she said in a release. Swapp’s pastels and art tiles are on display at the Gallery.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Swapp said pet portraits and wildlife are a special part of her art.

Parking for the First Friday Pioneer Way event is available on Fidalgo Street behind Harborside Village. Call 240-0222 or go to www.garryoakgallery.com for information.
