STATEMENT BY GALLERY OWNER PATRICIA CALLEGARI
I have been a working artist all of my adult life. While studying Fine Art and Gallery Management at Sonoma State University in California, I actively participated in juried shows and galleries in that region. Subsequently, I became the proprietor of several thriving and well-received art galleries in Northern California. I ran those galleries for more than 20 years.
After semi-retiring and relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 2021, I established an art studio in Kingston, Washington. Artful Connextions Gallery is my opportunity to curate and share artworks I love. It is also an opportunity to collaborate with artistic family members and other artists I know and admire.
My daughter Joan, and I are partners in the Gallery. We are honored to share our hand-picked collection with Port Gamble visitors, and we look forward to longevity in the friendly business community in Port Gamble.
