For Everything Vegetal, Whealon Costello and Rêve Hansen have gathered recent and past pieces that depict plants and gardens. You’ll see their individual and collaborative work as we celebrate the opening of their mural, In a Planted Place.

Whealon Costello is a trans artist and poet. She studied painting, writing, and critical social inquiry at North Seattle College and Hampshire College where she earned a BA. She likes to find a balance between representational portraiture and abstracts with a strong focus on color schemes. She loves working in collaboration with other artists. She can be found @wheaouthere on Instagram.

Rêve Hansen is a Seattle-based artist raised in the Pacific Northwest. She holds a BA in Art and BS in Environmental Science and Resource Management from the University of Washington. Her work blends traditional portraiture and figure painting with experimental techniques, exploration with textural elements of found materials and the physicality of paint. She can be found @reve_aart on Instagram.

Join us for an opening reception Saturday, January 11 from 12 to 2 pm.

The exhibit is open during library hours.
