Sheila Hughes
Executive Director

Sheila Hughes
Executive Director
Philadelphia-born Sheila Hughes is often mistaken for a Pacific Northwest native, and has been a prominent figure in the Seattle Arts and Non-profit landscape for more than 25 years. She served as Principal, Producer and COO of One Reel, the creative powerhouse responsible for Bumbershoot, WOMAD, Summer Nights at the Pier, Lake Union Family Fourth, and Teatro ZinZanni Seattle & San Francisco, as well as dozens of Northwest and touring concerts, theater and circus arts, youth programs and spectacles.
Following her departure from One Reel in 2010, Sheila served as Executive Director of several important Pacific Northwest cultural institutions, to include Icicle Creek Center for the Arts, Gage Academy of Art, and now, most enthusiastically, Executive Director of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.
As a volunteer, board member and advocate for several organizations which deliver essential services to our region, Sheila supports the Downtown Seattle Food Bank, Pike Market Senior Center, Path with Art and Earshot Jazz. Equally passionate about music/art and cooking/gardening, and an unapologetic fan of the ‘festival’ as an art form, she was proud to hear one of her two daughters describe her as a blend of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart.

Cynthia Sears Endowed Chief Curator

Greg Robinson
Cynthia Sears Endowed Chief Curator
Greg grew up in Seattle and went to graduate school in New York City to earn his master’s degree in Public Administration from NYU. His arts career was accidental – while director of facilities planning at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City in the 1980s, he helped launch one of the largest hospital art collections in the country. That’s how he got ‘the bug.’
Subsequently, he held positions including executive director of Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, director of William Traver Gallery in Tacoma, and executive director of the Museum of Northwest Art (MoNA) in La Conner.
Greg serves the non-profit art community throughnumerous selection panels for exhibitions and awards, including the Betty Bowen Award Committee of Seattle Art Museum since 1999. Career highlights include several book projects on Puget Sound artists, serving on the board of the American Craft Council, and volunteering as a strategic facilitator and coach for smaller non-profit organizations.
“If I bring anything to BIMA it is endless curiosity. My job is to mine our regional art world for diverse talent – both long-standing careers that are deserving, and artists that are new (at least to me) in this ever changing landscape. At BIMA we cook up exhibitions from scratch – we have no real recipe to follow, just great – and fresh — ingredients!”
-

I volunteer for smaller non-profit organizations, helping them to solve problems and envision futures. -

Amy Sawyer
Associate Curator

Amy Sawyer
Associate Curator
Before transplanting to Seattle from Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2015, Amy’s experience in the arts had its similarities to many aspiring artists. She worked as a barista, singer/songwriter, book artist and wide-eyed dreamer viewed through the lens of her upbringing in the “buckle of the bible belt.” She received her B.A. in Art History from the University of Oklahoma and began her museum career as an education assistant at Philbrook Museum of Art. She has always found herself encouraging other artists to show their work in the community and helping them find creative ways to connect people with their work through music, festivals, home shows, etc. All the while, looking for ways an emerging or under-recognized artist connects to a museum.
In 2014, she stepped through the doors of Bainbridge Island Museum of Art for the first time as a visitor and an artist — on the way to show her art at a First Friday Art Walk event in Winslow. She immediately felt welcomed with the kind of warm hospitality that makes room at the table for you – no closed doors. She was hooked. She began working as an intern at BIMA through the University of Washington’s Museology Certificate program in 2015 and her passion for finding and creating access points for artists’ voices in the museum is what she gets to do every day with the amazing mentorship and collaboration of the BIMA team. As an emerging curator, she strives to bring to light that intersection where life and art connect and is dedicated to assisting emerging and under-recognized artists expand their voices and community at BIMA

After nearly twelve years, he left the project to become Director of Communications & Events for Bloedel Reserve before finding his way to BIMA which he feels is where he was always meant to be.

Visitor Services Associate

Aidan Terry
Visitor Services Associate
Aidan, like most navy kids, was born one place but grew up in other places. Born in San Diego, CA, and he grew up for the most part in the Kitsap County, WA. A job opportunity for his mother brought his family to Sicily, Italy, as he calls it, “The Volcanic Pizza Shaped Soccer Ball off the Boot of the Mainland.” (Don’t ask him for directions or they’ll be as long winded as that nickname.) The endless visits to ancient ruins, other countries, and all the museums in between beat a love of the arts and history into him.
After returning from across the world and going into high school he needed some art credits and delved into stained glass, setting him on the inevitable path to a degree in the arts.
Aidan attended Washington State University in Pullman and earned his BFA in Photography & Oil Painting with a Minor in Art History. He took classes in as many mediums as he could fit in his schedule and always asked questions. Towards the end of his time at WSU, he interned with the campus Museum of Art (now the WSU Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum) and found a new and unexpected love of the arts. He is incredibly excited to be part of the team at BIMA and be in the Museum environment again.
“If you want someone to love art, nature, and architecture, don’t just show them tourist pictures, take them somewhere, and show them the real thing!”

While studying at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Jordan received a BS in Journalism, and a BA in Art History.

Post college, Jordan went to work for her family’s online children’s toy store, Imagine Childhood, as a buyer, social media manager, content creator, and overall jack of all trades. After nearly a decade working with her mom and sister, Jordan decided it was time to switch things up and combine her love of art, and her love of retail into a job at BIMA.
For kicks, Jordan loves metalsmithing, fashion and visible mending, climbing mountains, riding horses, playing with her kids, and sailing with her family.

Scott spent years as a contractor in Maryland before choosing to stay at home with his two kids. Scott used his skills to build playgrounds, organize school events, plan fundraisers, and be a member of the PTO. With the kids in college, Scott turned back to his work in construction management and joined a property management company. The relationships made with local parents and contractors in those years made for a perfect match when the museum was newly finished and needed a Facility Manager to finish punch list items with contractors and oversee new ongoing operations with compliance needs. Working with all departments at the museum along with the art installation and lighting crew, Scott has been part of the woven family that makes BIMA the little museum that could.
