A new gallery exhibit, “Deelish!” at Graphite Arts Center, is a colorful celebration of the foods we love to love.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are central subject matter in this colorful exhibit, but crackers, baked goods and sandwiches also find their place at the table.
The group show “Deelish!” features more than 30 unique works by 21 artists and opens to the public on May 3. An opening night artists’ reception will be held that evening, and the public is welcome. Curator awards will be presented at the reception. Artist awards for “Deelish!” are made possible through sponsorship by Joyful Art Fund.

“LIKE MOTHER” exhibit explores motherhood
Through June 2, Art Gallery at Lynnwood City Hall, 19100 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood
According to curator Kelly Lyles, “The impetus for ‘LIKE MOTHER’ was learning that my own need to make work after my mother’s death is a shared one. Many of my friends were losing their moms, too, and wanted to ‘work out’ emotions around their passing. These are artists whom I admire with stories to tell. Some of their mothers were pilots, actresses, dancers, scientists, world-travelers etc., in addition to being homemakers.”
Lyles said that these women should live on for the artists’ and their families’ benefit, but more importantly, when strangers see “LIKE MOTHER,” hopefully they’ll reflect on their own parental heritage, their stories, struggles and triumphs. “We should question ourselves: ‘What are the stories people will tell about us someday?’” she said.
“LIKE MOTHER” shows the work of 22 artists: Deborah Ann, Marilyn Charlat Dix, Diem Chau, Marita Dingus, Maura Donegan, Cathy Fields, David Francis, Malayka Gormally, Troy Gua, Liz Halvorson, Dionne Haroutounian, Lauren Iida, Iskra Johnson, Deborah Kapoor, Deborah Faye Lawrence, Christen Mattix, Lisa Myers Bulmash, Jane Orleman, Rachel Solimeno, Joan Stuart Ross, Elana Winsberg and Suze Woolf.
