EventsBPA GalleryCelebrating the performing and visual arts at BPA! June 2008 - Printmaking by Helena Hoyte Bierly and Collages by Renee G. Jameson Helena says she loves the medium of printmaking because “it allows me to explore the luminosity of color in a way that I hope evokes emotion and sensuality. I react to the immediacy of wet ink on paper and the process always intrigues me because the ink I put on the plate is reversed on paper as it is pulled off the press so, then I react to what I see as I begin to build layer upon layer of color, transparency and texture. The process also lends itself to creating a series of images on an intuitive level.” Renee G. Jameson’s collages deal with the subject of balance, color harmony, texture and the juxtaposition of man-made beauty with beauty that occurs in nature.
Renee draws from materials including Asian papers, found papers from a variety of sources, stamps relating to her love of geography and travel, and organic objects she finds in nature such as twigs and bark.

Helena Hoyte Bierly grew up in the Northwest and has always been involved with the arts, graduating from the University of Washington with a BFA in textile design. She also obtained a degree in Interior Design and has maintained her own firm - Wingpoint Design llc since 1997. In October 2007 she had her first show on Bainbridge Island at Dszign which showcased her mixed media monotypes. She is also an active member of SAMS.
Inspired by the wonder she experiences in the natural world, Renee pursues a daily up-close encounter with nature on walks through Fort Ward and the surrounding trails with her dogs, Otto and Lucky. She says, “I’m continually captured by nature’s spectacle of complexity, seemingly haphazard in its exuberance of growth yet it all seems to come together in simple, perfect balance.”
