You’re invited to an Opening Night Party at the Glam & Tonics Aveda Gallery, Saturday, August 1. No, make that an “Opening Afternoon Party” (4 to 6 p.m.) to delight you with the newly installed paintings of artist, Mari Jalbing. Sip a flute of Prosecco as you browse the array of artworks, from “miniature to quite large.” Let yourself be tempted to buy too.
The Glam & Tonics salon’s owners, Juan and Justin, will join Mari in welcoming you to view her works, from representational to abstract. You’ll find landscapes, figurative works, birds & animals, and lush flowers in tempera, watercolor, gouache, pastel, collage, acrylics, and oils.
Swedish-born and Midwest-grown, Mari Jalbing now lives and works in Montlake. In the years before beginning to paint, her inner artist manifested as florist, gardner/landscaper, interior designer, and in the fiber arts and tailoring. Her works are sold in many solo and group shows around Washington State, and she regularly donates works to local non-profit fund-raising events/auctions. You really must see Mari’s paintings in person, so why not come to the party? Bring a neighbor or friend too. Jalbing’s artworks will be on display for the entire month of August, so if you don’t get to the Opening, be sure to stop in, say hello to the Glam & Tonics staff, and look around.
