- ARTWORKS GALLERY featured artists for November are Marcia Muchnick and Barbara Marks. Muchnick gets her inspiration from the earth’s natural elements, and the pottery that evolves tends to have a rustic look. There is an old world charm that makes each a piece of artwork as well as being completely functional. Born in Minneapolis and educated in England, Barbara began her art career in Jackson Hole Wyoming. Family life took her to Bahrain in the Middle East and ultimately back to the Great Pacific Northwest where she works out of her studio on beautiful Whidbey Island. Her extensive travels have influenced the imagery and colorful vibrancy of her art. For more information, visit artworkswhidbey.com or call 360-222-3010.
