Barry Roitblat - November 7, 2024 to January 9, 2025
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Barry Roitblat at the Community Center Gallery, on view November 7, 2024 – January 9, 2025.
"I am fascinated by the grand works of art created by “Mother Nature” and enjoy turning nature’s art to a human purpose. I delight in the beauty revealed as an apparently non-descript piece of wood becomes a polished, functional art-piece.
An engineer by training, I’m drawn to forms that are functional and elegant. As an outdoorsman, I enjoy the intricate and natural. As an artisan, I strive to combine these features into something purposeful and attractive.
I have been turning for about 18 years and have had pieces on display in dozens of exhibitions in Western Washington and nationally."

“Wendy Wahman’s “Wenderings,” are improvisational, meditative drawings. Unplanned, with usually nothing conscious in mind, they begin with a line and go from there. Volumes 1 and 2 of, “Wenderings: to Wander (or Color),” along with her books for children, are available on Amazon. To purchase a framed original, contact [email protected].”
