Through the use of Trompe L'Oeil painted shadows and constructed elements, Fawkes is able to translate the light, space and atmosphere of an environment in a way that is immediate and involving. Fawkes shows his work regularly in Seattle and Portland as well as numerous invitational exhibitions nationally. Public collections include: Safeco Corp., Seattle, Kaiser Foundation, Portland, Western Bank Corporation, Los Angeles, Seattle Art Museum, Portland Art Museum and the Phillip Morris Collection at Oregon Freeze Dry, Albany, Oregon. Tom Fawke's most recent work will reflect his continuing fascination with the Italian landscape and gardens. This interest was fostered after receiving the Rockefeller Foundation Grant in 1987 in which Fawkes was artist-in-residence at the Foundation Center in Bellagio, Italy.

Bob Smith
Description
A black and white print featuring hideously whimsical creatures. In this print, there is a boat sailing in wavy water in front of a sharply forested hill. A fish bites the front of the boat. There is some sort of shirtless male figure with glasses atop his bulbous, large nose sitting in the back of the boat holding onto what may be the boat motor. One of his hairy legs hangs over the side. In the front of the boat is a seemingly petrified dog with his mouth widely opened and tongue sticking out. Your imagination is the best description of this piece., Bob Smith; woodblock print; 11.25 x 17.5 inches; 1981-85, A welder by trade with a master's degree in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute, Bulwinkle tickles us with his outrageous characters.
