A mid-career retrospective of Seattle artist, Sherry Markovitz. Known for her beaded assemblages, as well as drawings and paintings, Markovitz weaves various themes and materials into wher works.

Her use of beads as an art form crosses cultural boundaries, touching on their historical and symbolic uses - functional, ceremonial, and spiritual -around the world.
