Every island has its painters. Bainbridge Island has produced a body of work that rivals any regional painting tradition in the Pacific Northwest — artists who have given sustained decades of attention to its light, its water, its relationship to the Olympic Peninsula and the Cascades across two bodies of water.
Iconic Bainbridge is not a nostalgia show. It is a contemporary argument about what serious regional painting looks like when the region is taken seriously as subject. Ainsworth's decades of plein air study. Guild's realism that tips into the psychological. Wolf's water paintings that name specific channels and passages the way a marine chart would. This is the island's art — made by people who live here and have been looking for years.
