Birds of a Feather Artist Profile: Janie Cribbs

Whidbey Island artist Janie Cribbs (pictured below with Gallery Fraga's Kathe Fraga) paints birds through a nearsighted lens that magnifies their varied character and curious nature. In this world, details emerge in a narrative context.

Inspired by numerous visitors to her year-round feeder and a chance finding of vintage stamp-sized bird trading cards, Cribbs continues to capture "life un-still" in this current show of acrylic paintings.

Janie Cribbs is also a singer/songwriter who performs throughout the Northwest. She recently returned from a series of shows in Ireland.
