Exhibitions at the Second Story Gallery
Current Exhibition:
Solo exhibition of artist and illustrator Autumn Quigley. Exhibit runs from January 2 - 31.
Opening reception Friday, January 2, 5-8 pm.
Autumn G. Quigley is a freelance artist and illustrator based in the Pacific Northwest. Her work often explores human’s relationship with and within the natural world. Her pieces can hold layers of meaning and story often built up through found materials, collaged texts and handmade ink — allowing the narratives carried by the materials themselves to inform the work. She believes that art can impact our connection to place and the stories we use to understand our own position within the world. Her work has been shown both locally and internationally and been featured on products from wine labels to transportation posters. She has BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design and a BA in Creative Writing from Western Washington University.

Created by Legacy Washington in partnership with the Washington Secretary of State, with the advice and input of tribal leaders and authorities from around the state, this exhibit explores the enduring presence and strength of Indigenous peoples throughout Washington state.
