At the April 17 meeting of the
Port Ludlow Artists’ League,
photographer Gary Settle will
speak on “Composition in Art
and Photography.”
Born and raised in Kansas, Settle
has been a Port Ludlow resident
for almost nine years. He got
into photography at his father’s
knee, and by his sixteenth
birthday he was a part-time
darkroom boy and photographer
at his hometown newspaper. His
course was set!
Settle’s 45-year career in photojournalism included The
Chicago Daily News and The New York Times in the 60s
and 70s. He was named the “Newspaper Photographer of
the Year” in 1968 and 1970, and served as president of the
National Press Photographers’ Association in 1977-78.
With his artist wife Patti, Gary came to the Seattle area in
1979 to become the Assistant Managing Editor/Graphics at
The Seattle Times. He was responsible for supervising the
photography and art departments and the overall design of
the newspaper. Retiring to Port Ludlow provided a wealth
of scenery and subjects to photograph, including Sophie,
his Siamese cat.
The League’s meeting is at the Bay Club on Wednesday,
April 17, 1:00 p.m. Guests are welcome to attend. A guest
fee of $5 may be paid for an individual meeting; dues are
$30 a year. For more information contact President Carol
Durbin at 437-0204 or by e-mail at gramcr@aol.com.
Port Ludlow Artists’ League
Honors Marilyn Sandau
The Port Ludlow Artists’ League (PLAL) will be
featuring collage artist, Marilyn Sandau, as April’s Artist
of the Month. A one-woman show of her colorful and
intricate collages will be displayed at Columbia Bank, as
well as several of her pieces in the “Black & White” show
going on at The Inn At Port Ludlow through April.
Generally color-driven rather than thematic, Sandau has
currently been working on more abstract collages and
experimenting with various textures to give her pieces
more body and depth. Inspiration for one collage oftentimes
expands the work into a series or grouping.
A member of the Northwest Collage Society, Sandau has
exhibited her works in various galleries from Vermont and
Massachusetts to local galleries in Port Townsend, Port
Ludlow and Sequim. Recent solo shows have included
one at the Concert Series at the Bay Club, and participation
in Port Townsend’s Art Walk with her collages
displayed at the Wine Seller this past December. In
March, Sandau was on an artists’ panel presenting to the
American Association of University Women (AAUW).
Currently, she has collages at the Blue Raincoat Gallery
in Port Townsend.
League members and Port Ludlow friends are invited to
view Marilyn Sandau’s exhibit at the “Second Wednesday
Reception” held on April 10, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in
the lobby of Columbia Bank, Oak Bay Road and from
5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the Art Gallery adjacent to the bank.
