A show that captures Washington landscapes, history and the artists who create art here returns for a new season.
Season 2 of the Cascade PBS original series Art by Northwest is streaming now.
Host and writer Brangien Davis says the show is about Northwest artists across the state.
The series explores the connections between artists and their local environment by capturing how the geographic diversity of the Northwest shapes individual artistic expressions.
Seasons 1 and 2 showcase the process and influences of 12 regional artists including a mask carver, a ceramicist, printmakers and painters.”
Davis says she’s traveled across Washington, from Orcas Island to Walla Walla to Pullman, meeting with artists in their home studios to get to know them and their work.
“Our state is so diverse-looking from the coast to the deep woods, to the dry deserts to the Palouse. To see how artists are translating that or interpreting that is endlessly interesting to me,” Davis said.
