Welcome to the 26th Annual
Shoreline Arts Festival
On behalf of the Lake Forest Park
City Council, I am privileged to
invite you to this year’s Shoreline Arts
Festival. This long-standing event is
one of the highlights of the summer
for the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park
communities alike. This year’s two-day
festival is once again filled with family
friendly events and activities.
From music and theater to dance,
art exhibitions and food trucks, there
is something for everyone! Grab your
friends and neighbors and come celebrate
the beginning of summer with us. I
look
forward
to seeing you
there!
Jeff Johnson
Mayor
City of Lake
Forest Park
On behalf of the Shoreline City Council,
I invite you to join us for this community
cultural celebration. We can all build a
better community by participating in the
arts and in creative activities. The festival
offers this opportunity. This annual event
draws together our citizens, diverse cultures
and many of the area’s visual and performing
artists. It takes a joint effort to make the
festival a success. The City of Shoreline is
proud to join the City of Lake Forest Park,
4Culture, and other funding partners to
support the festival. We are also partnering
with Music4Life for musical instrument
donation for the Shoreline School District.
We appreciate the hundreds of wonderful
volunteers who make this weekend such
a success. The arts remind us to create
beauty in our lives, and there is nothing
more beautiful than helping others. So
come out, enjoy
the multicultural
activities, explore
something new,
listen to music,
watch
dance
performances and
have fun!
The biggest
Arts Party around!
Chris Roberts
Mayor, City of
Shoreline
Hello & welcome to another fabulous Shoreline Arts Festival. The board and staff of
the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council, along with an incredibly dedicated Festival
Committee, have been working hard to bring you a great event for this 26th year of the Festival.
After a successful change in configuration last year (moving the artist marketplace along
1st Ave & the stage out in front by 185th), we’ve continued with a few more changes to help
make the festival a bit easier to navigate. This year, you’ll find the Juried Art & Photo shows in
the south end of the building next to the cultural rooms, and the second stage has moved into
the Senior Center where there will also be a (much requested) beer garden in the afternoons.
Want to get involved and help cultivate creativity and inspire your community through
the arts? Come talk to us
at any info table about
volunteer opportunities and
get information on upcoming
Arts Council programing, or
just come by and say hi!
Enjoy the show!

71 Hot
Awesome
Food Trucks,
Kettle of Corn, and a Legendary Breakfast to
keep your culinary cravings satisfied.
Come tickle your taste buds and listen to some great music at the Food Truck
Food Court! We’ve got some delicious new options headed your way this year in
addition to some of our Shoreline Arts Festival Favorites. Check out the line-up:
Ohana BBQ
Back by popular demand this Hawaiian BBQ specializes in dishes from the many
different ethnic cultures that make Hawaii the “melting pot” it is know for. Get into
the spirit on Saturday by picking up some Ohana BBQ and then taking it to the
Beer Garden at 4 pm to see some hula dancing from Honkulani’s Hula Studio & the
Kupunas.
Galaxy Donuts
Small and mighty; these mini donuts are just what you need to start your festival
off right. With over 30 flavors and varieties, they have something for every taste. Pro
tip: pick up some donuts then head over the free coffee cart provided by Fidalgo Bay
Coffee Roasters, located in the Artist Marketplace, and get some shopping in before
the crowds.
Curb Jumper Street Eats
Gourmet sliders and specialty sandwiches served out of a sleek and stylish truck
sure shake up your comfort food. Pro tip: after the lunch rush, swing back around to
Curb Jumper and beat the heat with some ice cream. They serve Gelatiamo Gelato
and Fat Boy Ice Cream Sandwiches.
The Caveman Food Truck
(206) 801-2600
www.shorelinewa.gov/celebrateshoreline
With an application that started out “We do meat on a stick!” and then continued
with “Made fresh with locally sourced products,” we couldn’t not give them a try.
Surprisingly, the Caveman Food Truck also has one of the most mouth watering
vegetarian options too, with slow roasted brussels and veggies (also on a stick!)
It’s BAO Time
An homage to the original Taiwanese night market foods. It’s BAO Time
brings authentic street food from the streets of Taipei to Shoreline. Pick up a BAO
(Taiwanese steamed bun sliders with a variety of fillings) and then wader the festival
with your tasty treat.
Athena’s Food Truck
A regional favorite, Athena’s will be bringing their delicious Greek food (including
Greek Fries topped with garlic, Tzatziki sauce, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta!!)
to the Shoreline Arts Festival for the first time. Come grab a bit and then take is one
of the performers on the Showmobile Stage.
Bomba Fusion
You don’t hear the phrase “Korean-Mexican Fusion” too often, but you should
because it’s fantastic! Serving Bibimbap burritos & tacos, this truck has vegetarian,
vegan, and gluten free options proving you can be adventurous and satisfy your
dietary restrictions. Get into the spirit by grabbing some Bibimbap and checking out
the Explore Korea! Cultural Room.
Breakfast, Beer, Quilts and
Bargains all in one place!
The Senior Center is a hive of activity at this year’s Festival.
By Jon Ann Cruver
The Shoreline Arts Festival is
always an enjoyable and entertaining
weekend!
The
Shoreline-LFP
Senior Center will be part of this
annual event with breakfast, beer,
quilts and bargains!
The Arts Festival Breakfast will
be served, both days, 8:30-11:30 am
in the Senior Center Dining Room.
Get yourself ready to explore all of
the festival and come enjoy choices
of blueberry, chocolate chip or
plain pancakes, Belgian waffles, the
famous Shoreline Scramble and
more.
As all of the festival events begin,
just stroll down the hallway at the
Senior Center to visit the popular
ThimbleBelle Quilt exhibit. You will see dozens of beautiful creations put together by
this group of fabric artists. Be among the first to get you raffle tickets for the Sampler
Block Quilt that will go to the lucky winner during the center’s Holiday Bazaar on
November 5th.
The Bargain Corner will be open as well, featuring a number of Arts Festival
Bargains! This thrift shop is for the whole community and is enjoyed year round by
all who find quality clothing for women and men, housewares, craft, sewing, knitting
items and a boat load of treasures you quite likely can’t do without!
New this year! Enjoy our Beer Garden in our Dining Room! There will be on-tap
as well as bottled craft beers, sodas, ciders and bar food. Not only that, we will be
presenting live entertainment on our Center Stage. We welcome all festival goers to
come in and have a beer, listen to some good music, see some fun dancers. Feel free to
bring your food truck meal in, get your beers and listen to music and chat with your
friends. Beer Garden hours: Saturday, 1:00-6:00 pm; Sunday, 1:00-5:00 pm.
The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center is a community partner of Sound
Generations. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this annual event with
the generous support of the Shoreline-LFP Arts Council. The Center is located in
the southern-most building of Shoreline Center; 206-365-1536, www.shorelinesc@
soundgenerations.org
Ma & Pa Kettle Corn
It’s just not a festival without a bag of hot Kettle Corn to munch on as you shop
your way through the Artist Marketplace. Grab a bag and head into the sea of white
tents to find your next treasured artwork. 10 points if you can make it to the other
end with popcorn still in your bag!
Senior Center Breakfast
This is the real deal and an Arts Festival Tradition. Come early (get the good
parking!) and fill up with a hearty breakfast before the festival opens. Choose between
a stack of pancakes or a Belgium waffle with sausage and eggs for $7, or get the
Shoreline Scramble with home fries for $8. Breakfast starts at 8:30 am.
Here is a way you can help the Arts
grow in our local schools. If you have a used
musical instrument sitting in your garage or
attic, bring it to the Arts Festival to donate.
Music4Life will get the donated
instruments ready-to-play, and let students
from low income families use them freeof-charge. This way, we make sure everyone
gets a chance to play and learn
music.
Research
shows
that
students who participate in
music programs do better in
math, science, history, literature,
languages (foreign & English),
and even in computer science.
Inspired and supported by the Rotary
Club of Shoreline and Shoreline Breakfast
Rotary, you don’t have to be a Rotarian to
support Shoreline Schools Music4Life.
Simply donate your used musical instrument.

as Exhibition Designer at the Frye Art
Museum in Seattle, WA. Montgomery
worked in galleries and museums in
Chicago and San Francisco before
moving to Seattle in 2007 and has curated
local art exhibits for SOIL Gallery and

free time, he enjoys exploring the Pacific
Northwest with his family.
There is something very personal about
Sue Ellen’s art. Looking at one of her
paintings, I feel welcome into her life,
observing a personal moment. Unlike
traditional self portraits, her paintings do
not show her face, instead they show her
feelings, objects, and surroundings.
Sue Ellen says when she is stressed,
she creates art. And knowing how
accomplished this young lady is, with
school work, dance at the PNB school 6
days a week, art and music lessons, there
are going to be stressful moments.
Her process of painting is as if she
takes a creative awake dream journey to
restore herself to balance. In some of the
paintings, I can feel her releasing her stress
in the sharp angles and shapes, clashing
colors, or maybe a shadow of herself, or
the dark surreal buildings. But often there
are also harmonious colors, bright colors,
joyous colors, and things she loves, food, a
ballet dancer, or even just the feeling and
movement of dance, home, her fish, nature,
the things that seem to bring her back
to balance, gets her ready for whatever
challenges come her way.
She tells her stories not as a sequence
of events, but as eddies pouring from
her imagination. At her most successful,
she takes the styles and techniques she’s
learned, and bends them to tell her stories.
She paints to shape her life, and all the
elements into a beautiful whole.
Her force of imagination is clear from
a young age. A look at some of her earlier
paintings and drawings from younger
childhood, and one sees that the many
constant elements were already well
established. The joy and safety of home
and the objects inside, bright happy colors,
imaginative compositions that tell stories
Dive into our diverse community
The ever popular Shoreline Arts
Festival Cultural Rooms return this year
to provide fun and enriching explorations
into the cultures of China, Korea, and
the Philippines. Festival-goers of all
ages will enjoy activities, exhibits, and
treats that reflect the cultural history,
traditions, and contemporary lives of the
participating community groups.
Chinese Cultural Room
Hosted by several local artists & community groups
China will be represented throughout two cultural rooms, organized by several
community groups and the Evergreen Chinese School. Stop by to see a glimpse of
the fascinating 4,000+ year history of Chinese civilization through artistic depictions
in various mediums from past to present, as well as interactive demonstrations, like
live calligraphy. Then, try your hand at traditional Chinese arts and crafts, including
lantern making, paper folding, macrame, and more.
Experience Korea!
Hosted by the Korean American Historical Society
The whole family can experience Korea through sights, sounds, tastes, and touch.
Children can create guardian spirit poles ( JangSeung), write their names in Korean
(HanGul), dress up in traditional Korean clothing (HanBok), play traditional
musical instruments (AkGi), and learn to play the game of Go (BaDuk), among
other activities. While the kids are engaged, parents can relax, read about Korean
history and culture, partake in tasty treats and drinks which are served on traditional
holidays, or participate in the hands-on activities as well.
Philippine Cultural Room
Hosted by Filipinia Arts and Culture
Featuring arts and craft activities, as well as workshops on Fan Decor and
Philippine Folk dance, like the world famous Tinikling or Bamboo Dance. This
cultural room will also include exhibits of modern art, ethnic musical instruments,
like the Igorot and Muslim gongs and Drums, and a costume display showcasing
indigenous dress through the ages.
and shows us so much to enjoy,
without overwhelming us.
I believe Sue Ellen
is successful as an artist
because she loves to create,
in whatever format it takes.
I learn that she infuses art
into her school projects. She
loves to try different recipes
for cookies, cinnamon rolls,
quiches, and apply pies, and
dances to music while she
cooks.
I’m glad I’ve gotten to
know Sue Ellen through her
art. I’m not surprised to hear her say, “Art is
in my life and I put my life into art.”
About Sue Ellen Zhang:
Sue Ellen feels especially grateful and
fitting to exhibit her work at the Shoreline
Arts Festival. She is a sophomore at
Shorecrest High School, and has shown
her work at the Arts Festival in the youth
exhibit since she was in 1st grade. Through
the Festival, many of her artworks won first
place and were chosen for the Shoreline
School District calendar. In February
2016, the Lynnwood Art Commission
selected her for a solo art exhibition.
She has also been accepted into the 16th
Annual Kenmore Art Show in 2014 and
the Kenmore Youth Art Exhibit in 2015.
In 2010 & 2012, she won the Washington
State PTA Reflections Awards of
Excellence for Visual Arts. She studies art
with renowned Chinese American artist
Long Gao.
Sue Ellen is passionate about her
creativity. Besides art, she also enjoys
piano, swimming, and ballet. She has been
dancing at the Pacific Northwest Ballet
School for over 7 years, and has performed
in “The Nutcracker”, “Don Quixote”, and
“Snow White” at McCaw Hall.

Artist Spotlight

which won “Best in
Show” in the 2015
Kenmore Art Show
MELISSA LUNA
Melissa Luna Pottery
Describe a typical day in the studio.
At this time in my life, I have limited
time to devote to pottery. Between working
part time (in my profession as a SpeechLanguage Pathologist) and raising two
kids, I typically carve out four to ten hours
a week—a few hours on Monday nights,
and a few more on some Friday mornings.
If I start a complex piece in the studio, I
might bring it home in pieces and work on
it at my kitchen table throughout the week.
When I’m really lucky, I can head back to
the studio for a few more hours on Saturday.
All the glazing and firing takes place in the
studio.
What is your artistic medium of choice?
Why?
Clay! Why? Because about eight years
ago, when my youngest of two kids was
about two years old, I announced to my
husband, “I have got to find something that
is just for me!” Thus began my adventure,
three hours in the evening, once a week, in
a local pottery studio. I had never worked
with clay before. What began as something
just to have a break from home and feed
my creative soul, turned into a new passion.
Clay is such a complex and versatile
medium. In it’s wet stage it can be very
forgiving, malleable, and dimensional, with
endless possibilities. When it is dry, it is
fragile, fixed, and unforgiving. When it is
high fired, it is strong, resilient, and never
changing. Shiny, dull, smooth, rough, flat,
curved, heavy, light, hollow, solid, intricate,
functional, decorative... the list could go on
and on.
How has your practice changed over
time?
I have developed more patience over
time. By doing so, I am now able to create
more complicated or intricate pieces. Pieces
that take many steps and/or processes to
create, working on one piece over a number
of days, rather than a few hours. In between
these time intensive pieces, I do enjoy
creating work that is more spontaneous,
simplified, and relatively faster to create.
Both types of approaches are very fulfilling.
What do you consider your biggest
artistic achievement or accomplishment?
In June 2015, I was honored to win “Best
of Show” in the Kenmore Art Show.
Have you ever been surprised by what
someone saw in your art? How?
Not so much surprised, as very pleased
that I hear comments which reflect how I
feel about my own work. Comments like,
“There is a real sense of fun and happy in
your work.” Yes! Even though I tend toward
very earthy, textural, and subdued tones, I
still try to imbue a sense of joy and personal
satisfaction into each piece.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever
gotten about being an artist?
I came across a quote, that was attributed
to Theodore Roosevelt, and put it up where
I can see it every day: “Comparison is the
thief of joy.” It is so true, and yet sometimes
so hard to follow

Crawford WoodCraft
I start my day by thinking of what I saw
throughout the day, or what I took a picture
of to remember later. I think of things in
pop culture or around the world and how
I can reflect that in some of my cutting
boards. I turn on my jams–usually a mix of
instrumental/pop/hip-hop–and start away.
(Continued next page)

(Continued from previous page)
Sometimes I have a detailed plan of what I’d
like to make, while other times, I just start
building and see where I go from there.
time?
I love recreating work in various ways that
I have not approached previously. It keeps
me engaged and excited about the work I
am producing. I practice using different
techniques, both learned and observed, and
apply them in new ways—curves are a good
example. Wood does not naturally curve
which makes a “curvy board” so neat to look
at, yet there is an added twist in a checkered
pattern. These are fun, beautiful, and great
ways to pursue my work.
Many of my boards are character type
boards, resembling a video game character
or symbol. Many times, people not familiar
with the genre will tell me my board looks
abstract and that they can see (insert any
character/person, etc.). I think it is a cool
experience; it truly shows how different
lenses reflect different images.
If you could only use one color for the
rest of your artistic career, which would
you choose and why?
I work with wood, so I love any bright
exuberant colors that are not readily found
in nature. For this reason, I love working
with red woods, like “paduck/bloodwood,”
because it always throws people off. When
someone looks at a cutting board or a table,
they automatically think the wood was dyed
to appear that crazy color, but since paduck
wood is grown in central Africa, the iron in
the soil causes it to grow a beautiful, rich,
ruby red that makes my crafts so awesome.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever
gotten about being an artist?
The best advice I have received was
during one of my very first fairs. I was
feeling overwhelmed with the amount of
custom requests I was receiving for various
pieces of furniture and so on. A fellow artist
told me that when she works, she really
only does what she wants, and takes custom
requests when they coincide with a project
that she wants to undertake. What is the
point of art if you are making things you
don’t really want to make? I love creating
challenging designs and new approaches to
“old tasks.” This advice has helped limit my
undertaking of custom work and allowed
me to focus on the fun art I want to do!

Pause, Breathe, Blossom
I have a lot of irons in the fire to
make ends meet: I work as a nanny, yoga
instructor, photographer, and an artist.
Anytime I get in my studio, it is a hustle to
reorganize after each show and replenish
my inventory. The most important and
sacred part of my process is spending time
out in nature with my camera, where my
soundtrack is bird calls and waves of the salt
water. I create each of my mandalas with
original photography so I’m able to offer my
customers fresh designs every year. If I need
music to keep me going in the studio, I love
listening to classical Indian ragas.
What is your artistic medium of choice?
Why?
I have considered myself a photographer
since age twelve when I started using my
father’s camera to capture tiny flowers in
our yard and beautiful clouds in the sky.
When I finished high school, the only thing
I was sure I wanted to continue studying
was photography and I did so in Atlanta,
graduating in 2005 with the “Undergraduate
Photographer of the Year Award.” I’ve
always loved nature photography and now
love transforming my nature photography
into something more.
To create a mandala, I use a small slice
of one photograph; transforming one small
moment in time in my life as an artist into
an expression of the connection between all
moments, and between mother earth and all
humankind.
Who or what inspires your work?
I view the growth, patterns, and shapes
found within in plants, our own bodies,
and our universe at large as evidence that
we are all connected. My mandalas are a
meditative mode of expression, which work
towards amplifying and honoring our divine
connection.
time?
My artistic process is strengthened and
informed by my yoga practice. It has also
evolved in new surroundings. I first created
mandalas with images of the human body.
When I moved to the Pacific Northwest
and began hiking through the mountains,
the discovery of beautiful foxglove flowers
covered in rain drops and the Fibonacci
spirals of the fern fronds inspired me
to create mandalas with my nature
photography. I now often photograph the
body outside in nature to highlight the
similar patterns found in our bodies and in
the plants that occupy our natural world.
Is there an artistic direction you’ve
always wanted to take but haven’t yet?
I don’t hold back when it comes to new
ideas and new directions. I’ve always wanted
to work more with fabric and have started
to do so. I now create original fabric designs
using my photographs and the mandalas I
construct from them to make vibrant infinity

scarves, tote bags, and zippered pouches. I
am edging my way into the fashion industry
by collaborating with dress designer
Katy Flynn to bring new and exciting
clothing options to my clients. I have also
collaborated with metal artist Ben Dixon to
create hand-forged steel garden side tables
that feature my mandalas set under a glass
table top. I am always branching out and
working to create new products to reach a
wider audience with my artwork.
The symmetry in my eight-pointed
star mandalas encourages the viewer to
see new shapes and patterns within each
image. They have a similar effect on the
brain as Rorschach images do. Everyone
sees something different and it’s a joy to
hear all of the different interpretations. As
the creator, it’s more difficult to for me to
get lost in the patterns, but my audience is
always able to share new interpretations of
each mandala. It’s a healthy reminder that
we all see the world and the beauty that
surrounds us in different ways. We all have
our own unique perspective.
