Alie Wiegersma Smaalders - 7 posts
was born in 1923 in Fryslan, a northern province of the Netherlands, and came of age during World War Two, when the country was under German occupation for five years. Her first published work—at age fourteen—appeared in a national Dutch newspaper. It was a story on the occasion of the birth of Princess (now Queen) Beatrix in 1938. Alie received a Fulbright award to study at Carnegie-Mellon University, and went on to study at UCLA on an Alpha Xi Delta scholarship. She worked as a reference librarian in Amsterdam and, after emigrating to the U.S. in 1954, at the Unversity of Southern California. Alie has written a book of historical fiction, The Judgement Tree, and was the recipient of a Jack Straw Writers Award 2001. She was also selected by Jack Straw in 2004 for a matching grant that allowed her to record a collage of her stories about living under German occupation in World War II. The Sky Was a Brilliant Blue is the title of the CD of some of these stories. She has lived on Lopez Island since 1982 with her husband Oscar. They have three adult children and five grandchildren.
Alison Engle - 1 post
grew up near Seattle, lived in the foothills of Mt. Baker and has now resided on San Juan Island since 1998. After years of converting her artistic outlet from making art to remodeling homes, she was encouraged to pick up a paint brush and see what happened - that was in 2010. She has been painting ever since! Alison’s work is rich with color and texture and often borders on the abstract. Her work is inspired by things found in both man-made and natural environments; the weathered side of a building, the peeling bark of a Madrone, or the aged hull of a boat in the harbor. What may have once been a perfect surface now tells a story of years of sun, rain and seawater that now crack the surface and reveal a different type of beauty. “In my work, I prefer palette knives to brushes, loving the effect you get, as you never know where the paint will cover the canvas or where it will skip over the surface. I use a variety of tools to make patterns or scratch away paint adding texture or revealing a secret message. In my land and seascapes my goal is not only to share the beauty of this amazing place but the sense of awe I feel when I am in it.” www.alisonengle.com
