PENN COVE GALLERY welcomes artist Lisbeth Cort. Penn Cove Gallery is adding the contemporary watercolor artwork of Lisbeth Cort to its representation of local talent. Cort’s paintings are distinguished by a lively mix of patterns, saturated colors and rich details. She combines watercolor, wax pastels, gouache and ink to present her subjects in joyful and lively ways. Visit www.lisbethcort.com

ARTWORKS GALLERY featured artists for November are Marcia Muchnick and Barbara Marks. Muchnick gets her inspiration from the earth’s natural elements and the pottery that evolves tends to have a rustic look. There is an old world charm that makes them a piece of art as well as being completely functional. Born in Minneapolis and educated in England, Barbara began her art career in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Family life took her to Bahrain in the Middle East and ultimately back to the Great Pacific Northwest where she works out of her studio on Whidbey Island. Her extensive travels have influenced the imagery and colorful vibrancy of her art. Visit artworkswhidbey.com or call 360-222-3010.
