I’m thinking through what I want to tell you about the work I’ve got up at Lynn Hanson Gallery. Come by this Saturday afternoon to hear what I come up with. See you in the blue nook! The gallery is at 312 S Washington, and open 11-4 Friday & Saturday. The reception is 2-4 Saturday.

Two abstract pieces by Liz Ruest (im/plausible, left, and dis/credited, right) hang on light blue walls, above a large rectangular plinth with two round ceramic pieces.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Those missions over at @specialagentcollagecollective.com are getting trickier. Here's my take on Mission 21: Why Art? Basically, the potential for dopamine each time I create. Apply here with your take, by the end of the year: www.specialagentcollagecollective.com/missions/21-...

I’m so glad @lindaplaisted.bsky.social submitted to Complex Pictures — I’ve been trying to learn from her for years. This is “The Drowned God”, one of many pieces I’m excited to see in our show, opening soon as part of Collage-o-Rama, a @specialagentcollagecollective.com production. Opens Friday!

A composition of layered photographs and maps. What looks like a big orange sun peeks through the layers.

An honor to co-curate Complex Pictures, a #DigitalCollage show for Collage-o-Rama in #Seattle, through @sadcoreandpancakes.bsky.social's @specialagentcollagecollective.com. One that caught our eye, among many: “Richie in Arms” by Diana Jahns. Opening May 9 in Belltown; stay tuned.

A digital collage by Diana Jahns. The composition has a black and white photo of a man, with arms crossed over his head. Green and purple stripes have been added to his shirt, and a colored square of someone else's eye has been pasted over his right eye.

My art, up in #Vancouver through Saturday, inspired a poem! Bonnie Nish wrote "Orange Mist on Miller Lake" for a #poetry open mic held during this group show. Closing reception this weekend; the other artists & I will be there, if you're around. www.lizruest.com/2025/orange-...

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

A sandy, rocky beach, with water to the right, and driftwood logs pointing in the direction of far-off trees. Another island can be seen ahead in the distance.

For #Scape day, may I present "Awash", as close as I can get to a minimalist composition with a camera. Okay, I added a bunch of layers for texture and a wee bit more colour. #EastCoastKin On view now in #Vancouver at Atelier 8.18, details in my links, on my site, etc etc.
