Iconic Bainbridge

July 3 — July 26, 2026 · First Friday Art Walk

Ericka Wolf · Sea of Clouds

The exhibition

Not a nostalgia show. A contemporary argument.

Three Pacific Northwest painters in the JG roster, shown together. Diane Ainsworth's impressionist oils — long associated with Bainbridge Island through Roby King Gallery. Taralee Guild's hyper-realism — Airstream reflections and old-growth forest canopies, painted from her Vancouver studio. Ericka Wolf's color field — sky, water, and horizon as luminous expression, painted from Seattle.

Iconic Bainbridge is the show that holds these three together. Not because all three live on the island, but because Bainbridge has long been the room where their work has been shown, considered, and acquired. A contemporary argument about regional painting that doesn't have to be made by residents to be made by painters who have given the region years of attention.

The artists

Three painters. Three practices. The Pacific Northwest in dialogue.

Diane Ainsworth

Oil on canvas · Impressionism · Brush and knife

Ainsworth described her practice as impressionism. Up close her canvases dissolved into “abstract shapes and rhythmic brush and knife strokes” — her own words. She wrote of capturing light, color, and mood; losing herself in the myriad of shapes and weaving them together in a tapestry to convey her emotional reaction. Long associated with Bainbridge Island through Roby King Gallery.

Long association with Bainbridge Island through Roby King Gallery, acquired by JG Art Gallery. Self-described impressionist working in oils with brush and knife technique. “The Gift of Water” solo exhibition at Roby King, August 2021. Iconic Bainbridge presents works from the JG roster archive.

Taralee Guild

Acrylic on canvas · Hyper-realism · Airstreams and forest cathedrals

Guild's hyper-realism follows two long-running series. Airstreams: vintage aluminum trailers photographed at rallies and painted with reflective surfaces that fold the surrounding landscape back into the picture — surrealism through fidelity to the photo. Nature's Cathedral: BC old-growth forest canopies, vivid and exaggerated, that Guild has compared to the experience of standing inside a cathedral or in front of a Rothko.

Vancouver, BC. BFA, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, 2010. Internationally collected. Two ongoing series — Airstreams and Nature's Cathedral. Iconic Bainbridge presents Pacific Northwest forest works from the JG roster.

Ericka Wolf

Oil and encaustic · Color field · Sky, water, horizon

Wolf is a Seattle-based painter working in oils and encaustic. Her work — atmospheric, color field, grounded in nature — takes sky, water, and horizon as subjects, with color serving as luminous expression rather than illustration. Inspired by Frankenthaler, Rothko, and Olitski.

Seattle. Studied oil and encaustic at Gage Academy of Art; continued at the NY Academy of Art and Grand Central Atelier. Work in private and public collections across the U.S., Europe, and Australia.

Walk through the show. Or write to us.

Iconic Bainbridge opens First Friday, July 3, and runs through the end of July. Visiting in person is the strongest way to meet the work — Ainsworth's brush and knife at impressionist scale, Guild's hyper-realist precision, Wolf's atmospheric color. If a visit isn't possible, every artist's full statement and the documentation are online. Inquiries about specific pieces, availability, or holds are answered personally and usually same business day.
