Art & Melody: Catching up with Barbara Earl Thomas ft. Cellist Gretchen Yanover
Since celebrated Seattle artist Barbara Earl Thomas had her career survey exhibition (Heaven On Fire) at BIMA in 2016, she has gone on to have major shows at the Claire Oliver Gallery in NY, and solo exhibitions at Seattle Art Museum, Henry Art Museum, Witchita Art Museum, and Chrysler Art Museum. Hear all about her journey and dive into her latest body of work, The Illuminated Body, a portrait series that weaves an exquisite tapestry of light and color to depict individuals illuminated in moments of creativity. The evening will conclude with a performance by cellist Gretchen Yanover, one of Thomas' portrait subjects. Seattle's Yanover creates string atmospheres woven with warm melodies. She performs as a soloist with her electric cello and lopping pedal, along with her classical music life on acoustic cello. Gretchen is a member of NW Sinfonietta orchestra and also serves on their DEI task force. She has performed for TEDx Seattle and Earshot Jazz Festival, has created music for and performed with LeVar Burton, and has had compositions commissioned by Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University, and University of Oregon.
