Featured Artist November 2015
Margo Sety is a Chewelah native and a third grade teacher who has always creatively dabbled. Growing up, her parents encouraged her to try anything, whether in the kitchen, outdoors, or in the garage. Her mom let her carve the bar soap into bits and kept a box of toilet paper rolls and cereal boxes on hand for projects, and her dad let her borrow tools and helped her use them. Creative interests led to art classes in middle and high school and an art minor in college with a teaching endorsement from EWU. She feels privileged to be able to use her creative skills to contribute to community projects such as the award-winning Chewelah Float, scenery and props for theatre productions, and designing posters for community events. She is happiest when she is creating, including painting, adapting a recipe, carving a foam piece for the float, or designing a new lesson for her third graders.
Margo has been painting in watercolor again for the last year and a half after a long break from it. As a watercolor artist, her goals include painting subjects that let the viewer add or infer by filling in their own memories or experiences. Painting requires her to attend more to details, which guides her to being a better observer, and in turn helps her become more appreciative of her surroundings. Plus, it's great fun! She would like to thank Gail Johannes for her knowledge and patience.
