Featured Artist
For the month of May, our featured artists are Koka Filipovic and Bill Marshall. Their show runs from now through May 23, with a First Friday reception from 6:00-8:00 pm on Friday May 1. Please note that this reception coincides with the annual Downtown Albany Wine Walk, and we will once again be hosting Lumos Winery. So this will be a much busier reception than most, and we look forward to a festive evening!
More about Koka’s work:
Art has the power to awaken joy and offer a sense of calm, especially in times of change. Through my nature-inspired work, I hope to bring a feeling of sanctuary into everyday life. Guided by a deep respect for the natural world, my collection blends contemporary and Arts and Crafts–influenced designs that complement a variety of interior spaces.
In 2019, my husband and I moved from just outside Portland to the Albany area, where our home is surrounded by oak trees and beautiful farmland. This peaceful setting inspires me daily. I make time to pause, listen, and connect with nature, and that connection has deepened both my appreciation for life and my creative process. I am especially drawn to leaves—their shape, color, and intricate detail—and I often reflect their beauty in my mixed-media work.
My work is about finding balance between heart and mind, and creating from a place that feels authentic and true. Nature reminds me to slow down, breathe, and meet life with greater clarity and calm—something I hope my work also offers to others.
More about Bill’s work: Bill will be showing recent works in printmaking; specifically the centuries old crafts of woodcut, and wood engraving. Bill carves the printing blocks using traditional burins and gouges, using a variety of woods including linden, katsura, cherry, maple, magnolia, birch, and walnut. Each wood has its own unique qualities that will produce a variety of effects in the finished print. His prints are made using a hand press, or for the larger blocks, a baron, and wooden spoon for picking up details.
Bill will have a few of the carved printing blocks on display, and will be happy to answer any questions about his various artistic endeavors at the First Friday reception on May 1st.
