ZEE TAI COLLECTIVE

The Zee Tai Collective is a community of artists and makers located in the historic Zee Tai building at 918 Water Street in downtown Port Townsend, WA.

Brighid Grahan

Brighid’s oil paintings explore the passage of time in a place where inner and outer landscapes meet. They are influenced by decoding visual language of synesthesia and the desire to hold onto the colors of ever changing skies interacting with mountains and waters of the Pacific Northwest. Her beaded earrings are created using new and antique beads from throughout the world - weaving space, time and the work of glass artists from past centuries all together into beautiful art for your ears.

Windsparrow Studios

I was raised in Vermont, and after college moved to the Pacific Northwest and started an organic flower farm. In the summertime I created beautiful bouquets, and during the long, rainy winters I learned to make prints. Now, I’m a full-time artist, creating designs, carving blocks, and printing pretty things to send out into the world. I love it! My work is inspired by my flowers, my kitchen garden, and the wildlife surrounding my family’s home in Washington State.

Aliina Lahti

Granting yourself permission to be creative with your whole being is the best gift you can give.

hue & hoopla

Hanni's play is to create and co mingle with color and pattern; inspired by the cacophony of curiosities found in our natural world (and her mother's fabric collection). Finally translating that into handmade and one of-a-kind enamel works.

Raquel Stokes

Creating art is both a means of escape and a way in which to share my experience in the world, connecting with others. I am a self-taught painter and collage artist and my work is primarily inspired by nature and the absurd.

Phlox Fiber Studio

Kathryn is a fiber artist weaving custom textiles by hand on a 8-shaft floor loom. Rooted in tradition and made for daily use, her work blends function and beauty through mindful, meditative movement.

Lotte

Charlotte Cooper lives a life of obsequious devotion to Creativity, and when she’s not feverishly sewing, she’s likely pimping herself to whichever artistic discipline has most recently flashed her a beguiling smile.

Drea DiPrete

Drea is a multi-disciplinary artist whose art currently takes the form of surrealist paintings and surface pattern design.

Kira Mardikes

Kira Mardikes is a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator and farmer in Chimacum, WA. Her artwork engages ecological topics such as bee-friendly practices, forestry management, plant medicine, botanical dying and local agriculture.

Wandering Artists Guild

Snout Studio

Lydia Vadopalas delights in woodworking, block printing, sewing, & often goats.

Jodi Ericksen

Jodi is a multidisciplinary artist, art instructor, and facilitator of NorthwindArt’s Aging Creatively program, offering free, dementia-friendly art classes. She also provides private, dementia-focused art therapy. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in training, her work is informed by her life and previous studies in Fine Art, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Somatic Therapies.

Jodi believes that art speaks to and from the places without words within us—bridging inner experience and expression. Her work is an exploration of those quiet spaces, where feeling, memory, and meaning emerge beyond language.

Cat Bodnyk

Cat Bodnyk is a ceramicist and printmaker whose work features brightly colored plants and animals, both real and imagined. Her main body of work consists of hand carved pottery—a process known as sgrafitto—and each piece is one of a kind.
With a background in block prints and paper cuts, Cat also draws inspiration from quilts, Mexican otomi textiles, children's wooden toys, Matisse, pysanky, a few scenes from Disney's Aladdin, Pennsylvania dutch folk art, and so much more.
Cat throws, carves, and fires all of her pieces in a corner of her sister's garage outside of Poulsbo, WA. When not making art, she can be found cooking, foraging, rock climbing, and playing with her sister's goats and sheep.
