Ella Christiansen, Blue Whole Gallery’s Student of the Month for February, saw her ceramic art not only on display but sold the piece — “Abstract” — the first day it was on exhibit, during the First Friday Art Walk on Feb. 3. Christiansen studies art at Sequim High School under teacher Jake Reichner. “Gallery members were equally thrilled,” said Katherine Loveland of Blue Whole Gallery. “Our Student Art Project allows us to encourage Sequim High School art students in their artistic and personal growth as well to support the Sequim community. Reichner … deserves our appreciation for helping to make the program a success.”
