Everett Art Walk is a community-led project where local artists are celebrated monthly by our downtown galleries and businesses. Held on the third Thursday evening of every month, we are proud to be participating in this long-standing Everett tradition. Folks will be able to enjoy art created by local artists in our front-end area during Art Walk. The art will then be on display for the next four weeks all to enjoy.
To view the complete map of participating venues, visit EverettArtWalk.org.
Our June 2022 featured artist is Mahllie.
Mahllie was born in Seattle, WA. She started taking art classes at Everett Community College when she started the Running Start program through Snohomish high school. She launched her online art store in April of 2020.
You might recognize her from the documentary, “What Happened On First Street” by Drake Wilson and Carolyn Yip. In 2020, Mahllie led and organized many Black Lives Matter peaceful protests in Snohomish, WA. Mahllie as well as hundreds of other local protesters weren’t going to tolerate racism, police brutality, and armed vigilantes to take over their small town.
Today, Mahllie sells original artwork and art prints on her website. She’s created zero-waste mixed media art installations and murals for Uncle Harry’s Natural Products’ warehouse. In October of 2021, seven of her pieces were featured in the group show, “Something Strange'' in the Viking Union Gallery at WWU. She likes to switch things up; she sells online, in-person at pop-up events, and at gallery shows. Last February, her first solo art exhibition “Love Games In A Flowering Garden” was displayed at Lucky Dime in Everett, WA. She’s currently inspired by botanical illustrations and painting on plywood. Look out for her next art exhibition, “SELF”, coming soon in the downtown Seattle area.
