Happy Holidays from Stonington Gallery
I
f one could distill the essence of the Pacific Northwest Coast; its beauty, power, culture and history into a collection of material objects, we believe it would
look like something like this catalog. The artists represented by the Stonington Gallery and featured in the pages of this digital catalog are among the region’s most respected and appreciated. Their combined knowledge and experience could write and illustrate the definitive Northwest Coast art and culture book. We count it our good fortune to be able to share their life’s work with you, our patrons, friends and visitors. For those of you who cannot visit the gallery this season we have had the great joy of compiling this catalog for you to enjoy. May your life be touched by love, beauty and peace this holiday season.
