Low Tide by Corey Arnold and Martin Machado & Notes from a Moving Line by Sara Tabbert
Imogen Gallery, February 14 through March 9
240 11th St
Imogen Gallery presents two powerful exhibitions by 3 artists sharing work about their experiences; the profound beauty (and reality of the harshness) of living and working in Alaska.
Opening Saturday, February 14th, is a new collection of photographs and paintings by Corey Arnold and Martin Machado. They bring Low Tide; an exhibition held in conjunction with the 2026 annual FisherPoets Gathering, in honor of the importance of the maritime industry and its history to our region. Once again, we bring together the work of photographer/commercial fisherman, Corey Arnold of White Salmon, Washington and painter/ fisherman/merchant marine, Martin Machado from San Francisco who share their love of the sea through chosen medium, merging their dual careers. Both artists are internationally respected having fished, sailed, and exhibited their work globally. Also included to this special exhibition held in conjunction with the annual Fisherpoets is a small collection of paintings and photographs by fellow fishing friends of Arnold and Machado.
In addition is a solo exhibition by Sara Tabbert of Fairbanks, Alaska. Known as a woodblock printmaker, her work has steadily evolved over the years into mixed media wall hung panels incorporating marquetry, a historic woodworking technique in which detailed design is applied to surface with wood veneer. This series, titled Notes from a Moving Line, is specifically about her observations from daily walks along the creek Big Eldorado that runs through the land where she lives.

"Oceans in Common" by Duncan Berry with the Moken Art Collective
RiverSea Gallery, February 14 through March 10
1160 Commercial St
This collaborative show celebrates the connection of all seafaring people throughout the world, from the Oregon coast to the fishing villages of Thailand. Duncan Berry’s eloquent gyotaku prints are exhibited alongside those created by the Moken, an indigenous people living in a village-on-stilts along the shore of the Andaman Sea in in Thailand near the Myanmar border.
In 2024, Duncan and Melany Berry formed a profound connection with the Moken people while teaching them how to create gyotaku prints, a method of making artistic direct impressions of sea and land life forms. In this process, one-of-a-kind print impressions are taken from the inked surface of fish, sea creatures, and plants, printed on mulberry paper and mounted on birch panels.

Ocean Forest by Tallmadge Doyle
RiverSea Gallery, February 14 through March 10
1160 Commercial St
Tallmadge Doyle’s work ranges from the mysterious ocean floor to the distant expanses of the cosmos, examining the commonality of structures across vastly different scales and investigating the inscrutable connections that link all corners of the universe. In this series, Ocean Forest, she highlights the lush kelp forests and intricate plankton communities flourishing in the depths of the sea, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the wonders of the marine world. Doyle’s mastery of traditional painting and printmaking produces ethereal, layered compositions that shimmer with energy and vibrant color.
“My current work explores parallels between marine ecosystems and imagery of vast star formations revealed from the James Webb Telescope,” notes Doyle. “I construct diaphanous, multi-layered surfaces that echo the experience of peering through water or the deep gaseous atmosphere of outer space.”
