Allied Arts of Whatcom County invites you to our exhibit Looking Forward, Facing Back. This installment, featuring the work of Erin Libby, Jessica Silver, Lyz Staman, and Susan Cohen Raphael, will send you on a time travelling journey through the whimsical and surreal dream worlds of these evocative creators.

Erin Libby’s new oils are narrative paintings. They like to tell stories. They like mystery and whimsey. They hope viewers spend time interpreting their paintings by bringing their own sensibility, interpretation, and experience to the viewing.

Jessica Silver hopes to introduce you to the same sculpture or piece of jewelry she sees when she looks at each unique stone.

Lyz Staman creates oil paintings that reflect her international travel and causes that she is passionate about. Her work shows a new way of looking at life around us and the interesting people we meet.

Susan Cohen Raphael creates multimedia work with oil, acrylics, graphite, on paper, canvas, or wood as well as photography. Always focusing facial expressions and relationships with the natural world of forms, shapes, and colors.
