A Highline professor wants to see your art, and she wants to show it in her own gallery. 

Britt Greenland is an award-winning impressionist landscape artist and opened her art gallery in downtown North Bend, Wash. last summer. Greenland is also an English language teacher in the ECLAP department of Highline.

The show, “All Things Bright and Beautiful,” is open to all artists 18 and older of all experiences that can drop off and pick up accepted works in person.

“Artists can submit original paintings in any style from abstract to realism and of any subject matter that conveys joy and light to them.” Greenland said. “The deadline to submit work for consideration is April 20 at midnight.”

Each artist is able to submit up to three entries for $40 and $7 per additional entry, for a maximum of 5 entries. 

All accepted work must be for sale, and gallery commission will only be 35% which includes credit card fees.

First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded. The awarded prizes will likely be small cash amounts or gift cards from art supply stores, said Greenland.

“To have your painting singled out for an award by Jim Lamb is a prize in itself,” Greenland said.

Jim Lamb is a professional freelance illustrator and artist, who studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Lamb’s work has been commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Postal Service, as well as a number of other corporations.

Lamb’s work has also been selected to be a part of the permanent collection of the Governor’s Mansion fine art collection.

“We’re still waiting to hear back from sponsors for prizes. I hope to be able to update the prospectus with this information soon,” Greenland said.

“The inspiration behind ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’ is from one of my favorite books, and TV shows, is titled All Creatures Great and Small which the book, about a rural veterinarian, borrows from a hymn-although it’s not a religious book,” said Greenland. ​

“Another line in that same hymn is ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful… the Lord God made them all’,” Greenland said. “I choose this name for the show to focus on what is good in a time when the default is to dwell on what’s wrong.”

Greenland said that the view of Mt. Si from the gallery windows drew her in like a magnet to open an art gallery in North Bend.

“Come see the current show ‘The Real Twin Peaks’ until May 11,” said Greenland.

The show’s paintings feature scenes of North Bend, where the movie Twin Peaks was filmed.

The Britt Greenland Gallery is open Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m.
