Watercolorist Dottie Sanders and jeweler Kent Sanders will be featured artists in November at Artworks Gallery. There will be a First Friday reception at the gallery November 4 from 5 to 7:30 p.m., with light snacks, beverages, and live entertainment by guitarist Quinn Fitzpatrick. Other Artworks Gallery artists will be on hand to greet visitors during the reception.

Dottie taught art, jewelry, writing, and various other subjects during her 24 years of teaching in Alaska. She moved to Nome from New York, where she taught art to students of all ages.

Lately, Kent has been focusing on jewelry made from melted beach glass, which usually results from old trash burning. More of this glass is being found on Whidbey Island because of the higher tides resulting from global warming.

Artworks Gallery is located on Greenbank Farm on Whidbey Island. For more information, visit artworkswhidbey.com or call 360.222.3010.

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
