Brown aims for a broad audience that includes quilters, dollmakers, fabric painters, miniaturists, knitters, and crocheters who seek new ways to e! mbellish their work. She employs rubber stamping, stenciling, watercolors, silk painting, and polymer clay adornments to produce good-looking projects that range from wearables to wall hangings.

Adams depicts idealized landscapes that evoke virgin terrain, untouched by human intervention and devoid of degradation. Through her reworking of landscape traditions and conventions, her paintings reveal the inextricable connections between beauty and the sublime and melancholia. Her paintings evoke the deep desire for the perfect moment and hei! ghten awareness of the psychological impact of the idealized l! andscape . Adams presents the landscape as a solitary experience with the immense and infinite sublime-a magnificent solitude.

Rock Hushka is Tacoma Art Museum's curator of contemporary and Northwest art.
