In an Everett backyard studio, a grove of glass cacti blooms (opens the original)

Like the best origin stories, Manolo Aguilera’s starts with a near miss. As a teenager at Everett High School, in the early 2000s, he happened to meet longtime glass artist James Mongrain. A neighbor had connected them; Mongrain had a studio in Mukilteo and needed help sanding a large piece. Noting the young Aguilera’s interest and work ethic, Mongrain arranged for another work opportunity — this time at a glass studio in Seattle. But Aguilera was just a 17-year-old kid. He had only recently mov

For the past 16 years, Native Hawaiian artist Miki’ala Souza has lived at the turbulent confluence of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean.

Never underestimate the impact of a high-school art class — it might just blossom into a 33-year career. In 1978, at age 12, Maria Cristalli moved with her family from California to Mercer Island. Once enrolled at Mercer Island High School, she took a pivotal jewelry-making class with art teacher Laurie Hall (now a jeweler in Portland). Right away, Cristalli was intrigued by the properties and possibilities of metal — how you could bend and texturize it, render it shiny or matte, all with a litt

When Camas Logue was a kid, he told his grandmother he was planning to be an artist, a doctor and the pope. “She was Catholic,” he says with a laugh, “so I think maybe I was trying to impress her.” He ended up being right about one out of three. A painter, wood carver, basket weaver and printmaker, Logue is also a drummer in the band Black Belt Eagle Scout. With this multidisciplinary multitude of options, our Art by Northwest profile focuses on Logue’s paintings. (Stream the episode now, or wat
