PORT TOWNSEND — Gallery 9 and Northwind Art’s Jeanette Best Gallery will be among the venues which will participate in the Art Walk from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday in downtown Port Townsend.
• Gallery-9, 1012 Water St., will feature the mythical art of Katy Morse from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The exhibit features one of her early works, “Katryna of the Salish Sea,” a painting in acrylic on canvas.
“This is my Legendary Self,” Morse said. “My teacher is Curate Shiloh Sophia, who guides women around the world in the Intentional Creativity process. This method is a reclamation and redefining of self through a rigorous practice of painting and writing. It is a mythopoetic experience in which you become the author and creatress of your own story.”
Morse also will debut a multidimensional painting, “Medicine Shield of 4 Muses,” this month.
Each of the four Muses has a power animal by their side, and they embody the elements of earth, water, fire and air.
Morse’s paintings will be on exhibit at Gallery-9 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Mondays throughout February.
