All the Flowers: An Artist Talk with Samuel Spurrier
ABOUT SAMUEL SPURRIER
Samuel Spurrier is a fiber artist, pattern maker, and botanical dyer living in Bainbridge Island, Washington. He studied pattern making at Apparel Arts in Oakland, California and apprenticed under botanical dyer Monica Medeiros. His love of nature and flowers comes from his childhood in upstate South Carolina. There, his grandmother Frankie showed him the joy of color found in blooms and his grandfather Big Sam instilled a reverence for nature that comes through in his art.
Spurrier grows and forages all the botanicals used in his work on Bainbridge Island. Specializing in eco-printing, a sustainable natural dyeing technique that permanently transfers the pigments and tannins of the flower and leaf directly to the fabric, he incorporates his love of gardening and his passion for textiles to create work that pulls the viewer into a world all its own. Clothing, embroidered tapestries, and artist’s books made from his dyed fabric all explore themes of our connection to nature and our place in the universe. His aim is to capture the fleeting beauty of the blooms of summer—a season on the Island that is brilliant but brief.

Within Reach: An Artist Talk with Patricia Orellana
ABOUT PATRICIA ORELLANA
Patricia (Patti) Orellana’s journey into the art world started at a very young age in Jersey City, NJ, with endless drawings on walls and coloring her patent leather shoes, much to her mother’s frustration. She lived two brief years in Medellin, Colombia as a young child, an experience that would influence her and her work once back in the United States.
She earned her B.F.A from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, which is where she also had the opportunity to study Art Therapy. She was able to see first hand the power of art in healing through Art Therapy internships in Manhattan and New Jersey. Patti relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 1992 and worked in the graphic arts for local corporations. She completed the EDGE Program through the Artist Trust and she continues to grow in the local arts community. Patti is an artist who currently resides and works on Bainbridge Island.
