Meet A Few Of The Featured Artists

Caitlin Fry

Caitlin does a variety of artwork, from food still life to nature scenes and animals. She works with acrylic, oil, colored pencil, and charcoal. For the artwalk, Caitlin will be showing her acrylic paintings, featuring beach themes, florals, and nature scenes.

Kathleen Olsen

Kathleen Adams Olsen, MA, is a fiber artist and mythologist with a deep passion for weaving nature into textiles. As the founder of Water’s Edge Fiber & Dye, she offers natural dye workshops, creates one-of-a-kind fiber art, and designs custom textiles inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Kathleen infuses each piece she creates and every workshop she leads with a love for storytelling and the natural world. When she’s not experimenting in her studio, she’s often found walking along the water’s edge, drawing inspiration from the landscapes around her.

Her workshops are designed to help participants reconnect with nature, unlock their creativity, and discover the magic of botanical dyes. Kathleen’s background has been enriched by years immersed in Norwegian culture, work in textile and rug design, and the years she ran Messenger Rugs, a line of meditation rugs she designed and had hand-knotted in Nepal. Nowadays, she combines her studies in Mythology and Depth Psychology with her textile design background to enhance and deepen the natural dye workshops she offers.

On the day of the art walk, she will be offering hand-dyed shawls, pillows, and other textile home goods for purchase, as well as the opportunity for interested visitors to try their hand at dying a bandana with homegrown plants and flower dyes in her studio!

Marie Deatherage & Ric Seaberg

Ric Seaberg and Marie Deatherage moved from Portland, Oregon, to live full-time in Seabrook in January 2018. Their house is Octopus’s Garden in the Farm District, where the two avid gardeners spend a lot of time trying to coax a variety of plants to survive and thrive in our challenging coastal weather.

Ric enjoys baking in his own kitchen these days for friends and family after retiring as a professional baker with his own bakery in Portland, Oregon, in 1986. He also had side careers in music (first in a rock band, then as a singer/songwriter), handymanning, and today helps a number of local folks with drip irrigation.

Marie has had multiple careers as well, including being a journalist, geography professor, editor, desktop publisher, disability rights advocate, program officer, and communication director in philanthropy. She spends her time now writing, sewing/quilting, and community building.

Vicki Bellafiore Williams

Vicki Bellafiore Williams (she/her/hers) is a mixed media artist whose lifelong love of art started with her first paper-bag puppet in kindergarten, and “cutting and pasting” has remained one of her favorite pastimes. With her background as a Master Gardener, she takes inspiration from the nature around her, finding ways to incorporate both nature's flow and bold colors in her artwork. Her artistic expression is a curated process drawn from her artistic experiences with mixed media, as well as her eye for colorful spontaneity.

As a Seabrook resident since 2022, Vicki has lately drawn inspiration from the Washington coast. Using her newfound interests of rockhounding, mushroom foraging, and tide pooling, she is currently inspired by temporality and the serendipity drawn from chance encounters with wonderful coastal ecology. As an artist, she is unafraid to play along the boundary between abstract expressionism and surrealism, using mixed media and papier collé as a means to look deeper into her soul and reflect the beauty of nature that inspires her.

Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon is a master basketweaver and storyteller who gives educational lectures about the rich culture and unique heritage of the Coastal Salish Natives. She has presented at Universities, schools, libraries, and historical societies throughout the Pacific Northwest, and she received the “Peace and Friendship Award” from the Washington State Historical Society in recognition of her significant contributions to the understanding of Northwest Indian Heritage.

For the artwalk, Harvest Moon will be demonstrating how to make corn husk dolls and sharing stories about Bigfoot legends. She’ll also be showcasing her baskets and Bigfoot costume. Her blend of vast historical knowledge and enchanting storytelling will make this an experience you won’t want to miss!

Jessica Bone, JCB Concepts

Jessica is an artist with an architectural perspective whose creative journey began with childhood sketches and evolved into nationally recognized artwork. After earning a master’s degree in Architecture and working in the commercial design world, she pivoted to pursue art full-time, thus reclaiming the joy of creation that had always been her compass.

Her signature style blends pen and ink with water, a technique born from a serendipitous moment involving iced coffee and a smudge of inspiration. Rooted in exploration, Jessica’s process is deeply tied to place: she wanders cities, trails, and neighborhoods, absorbing their textures and rhythms before translating them into evocative visual narratives.

As a counterpoint, her watercolor florals add a vibrant dimension to her evolving style. Through JCB Concepts, she invites others to see the world as she does: layered, lived-in, and celebrating a moment in time.

Kelly's Handknit & One of a Kind

Kelly first picked up her knitting needles while working on a cargo ship, searching for something to fill the long, quiet months at sea. What began as a simple way to pass the time quickly grew into a lasting passion for the craft. Kelly enjoys the comfort of a big, cozy sweater, and she knits each of her detailed creations with care.

He has also been a recreational fly fisherman with a penchant for dry flies on small streams, the classic old school fly fishing. After seeing a couple of beautiful nets built by others, he decided to craft trout landing nets.
