Welcome to the 17th Annual Camano Island Studio Tour
The 43 artists, 30 studios and 3 galleries on this year’s Tour are thrilled that you
have chosen to experience art with us this weekend.
The Camano Island Studio Tour is one of the oldest, free, self-guided tours in the
Pacific Northwest and features highly accomplished juried artists practicing in
diverse mediums.
This year’s cover artist, John Ebner, is one of the most prolific painters on the
Tour whose watercolors are collected nationally. Whether you are inspired by
paint, glass, wood, fabric, or photography, we hear from veteran tour visitors
every year that they always find something new that reconnects them with their
love for art.
Our featured artist, Karla Matzke, is a founder of the Studio Tour and her Matzke
Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park has been a destination for years. Matzke
features both an outdoor sculpture park and an eclectic collection of art from
world-renowned artists. She also spotlights top local talent, including her own
stunning pastel work.
Be inspired by the art. Take some time to take in the natural beauty of our island.
Visit our sponsors and advertisers and enjoy the hospitality of our local shops.
Make memories.
We look forward to opening our studios to you and sharing our passion for art.

Mother’s Day Weekend: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, May 8-10
Encore Weekend: Sat & Sun, May 16-17

2015 CAA Cover Artist
John Ebner
One of the few remaining founding members
of the Camano Arts Association, John
Ebner’s iconic Camano Island scene,
sailboats set in a lush watery landscape, was
selected for the cover of this year’s guide.
It’s the water that makes John Ebner’s
watercolor paintings his own: The mists of
the Pacific Northwest hover over Saratoga
Passage, Deception Pass, many different
waterfalls and mountain tops, and people
walking in the rain. It’s the subtle, rich colors
that surround him, and the mood of the
Northwest, that he strives to reflect in his
paintings. Maybe because he was born in
Sublimity, Oregon, Ebner’s sublime images
inspire awe of this part of the world and
beyond, from Admiralty Head to Provence,
France.
While most of his paintings are seascapes and landscapes, he does bust out now
and then to paint a flower or a door, or a market at the tulip festival. Ebner studied
advertising art in Portland, then worked in sales and marketing for Hunter Douglas
window coverings.
His wife, Paula launched his second career in painting by signing him up for a watercolor
class in 1973. When they arrived on Camano Island in 1998, he had signed up with
Hadley House, a national publisher of fine art, and was showing his original work at
Kenneth Behm Galleries and at the granddaddy of Northwest art shows, then known as
Bellevue Arts Fair. Before long, he realized he should publish his own work, and now
offers many of his images as limited edition lithographs and giclee prints.
In recent years he has started reproducing his art on aluminum, giving a more
contemporary art look, and he’s also offering big format prints with touches of original
paint. When John is not painting watercolors, he might be experimenting with acrylics,
pastels, alcohol ink or landscaping. An outdoor extension of his creativity, his elaborate
yard on the top of the Northwest corner of Camano, features his very own waterfalls,
collages of rocks, shrubs and flowers with sculptures hidden here and there, all framed
by a Japanese style Tori gate and roman columns.
During the Studio Tour, Ebner welcomes visitors to explore his gardens, as well as his
working studio. He likes to say, “When you buy a John Ebner painting, you not only buy
a painting but the peace and tranquility of the Pacific Northwest.”

2015 C.A.A. Featured Artist
Matzke Fine Art Gallery
Matzke Fine Art Gallery features
fine art exhibits surrounded by a
ten acre sculpture park under a
natural temperate canopy. It’s a
place for artist workshops and
classes, indoors or outdoors,
and a designated place for art
lovers to view or purchase fine
art year round. With changing
exhibits every six weeks, we
are committed to representing
the best and the brightest talent
from the Pacific Northwest, and the United States. Over 80 emerging, mid-career,
and established artists including Phillip Levine, Hiroshi Yamano, Tracy Powell, Kevin
Pettelle, Betty and Russell Frost are on exhibition at the Gallery and Sculpture Park.
Our goal is connecting artists and collectors through our special events, exhibits, art
production, and art education programs. Nestled among evergreen trees, the gallery
and sculpture park currently exhibits 75 sculptures of artists whose works are of
world-class significance. We thoughtfully designed the ten acres, leaving much of the
natural flora of the Northwest. Sculptures by prominent and emerging American and
international artists, utilize bronze, stainless steel, stone, wood and glass.

CAA is pleased to offer on this year’s tour:
A Retrospect of the Art of the late Fred Pilkington
Come see and enjoy Fred’s art at Forte’, Music, Dance, Art Studio #27
Fred earned a Master’s Degree in Art from New York University
and was an art educator in New York for many years. A highly
decorated World War II veteran and talented artist, he was a
long-time member of CAA and, at 90, was still creating and
printing his art.
Fred, a printmaker of etchings and block prints, also worked
in a wide variety of other mediums including painting, sculpture, serigraphy, pen and ink, pastel and watercolor. Over
the years, he exhibited his art in numerous art shows, winning
many awards. He was represented by the Graphic Eye Gallery in New York and by
Matzke Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park on Camano Island.
