G.G. Silverman & Isabella Smedley - “Wild Women of Photography”
November 22, 2025 – January 31, 2026

Welcome to Wild Women of Photography, showcasing the unique perspectives of Isabella
Smedley and G.G. Silverman, two bold photographers living in the Pacific Northwest. Isabella
is showcasing stunning imagery captured at Yellowstone National Park and beyond, and
G.G. brings us her surreal, dream-like images of the Pacific Northwest, Iceland, and more.

Isabella bio / artist statement
I was born in SW Pennsylvania and have lived for the past 30 years in Seattle. As a retired nurse,
my love of nursing is owed to the emotion of caring for people in their worst and best moments.
Photography, for me, is about evoking emotion. I hope my photos create quiet, exhilarating,
joyful, and tender moments for you. I spend much of my time in Yellowstone National Park but
have traveled the world experiencing extraordinary wonders. To see more of Isabella’s work,
visit Isabella's website.

G.G. Silverman
I moved to the Pacific Northwest 20 years ago, and immediately fell in love with its raw, moody
landscape. I am a writer as well as an artist, and to me, all landscapes and their natural
inhabitants have stories to tell, and there’s always more than meets the eye, a deeper tale waiting
to be told.

Featuring explorations of beloved places like the Pacific Northwest, Iceland, and beyond, my
photography is intentionally soft-focused to induce a dream-like state in the viewer. I use a very
simple means to capture my photos, then I crop, distress, blur, and colorize until I discover the
scene’s true nature: a mythic image that asks me to look deeper within myself. Gazing closely, I
find myself in a dialog that nourishes me, and asks me to ally myself with the mysterious. There,
I find the pieces of myself that were lost, and I’m stronger for the journey ahead. To learn more
about G.G. please visit G.G's website.

As If Theatre Company

In the long-standing debate, “Does art imitate life or does life imitate art?” As If Theatre Company consciously chooses the latter. We want our art to instill within you hope and laughter, conflict and resolution, empathy and awareness, and a deeper understanding of yourself and others.

We are committed to bringing engaging, challenging, and entertaining theater to the community just north of Seattle. Our company believes that theater is community and together we can tell stories that inspire thought, engage conversations, and join all of us together to tell a bigger story. Passionate and dedicated, As If Theater Company’s ultimate goal is to change our small piece of the world for the better.

Performing at the historic Kenmore Community Club, As If Theatre Company was started by local theater artists, Cindy Giese French, Amy Gentry, and Molly Hall, who wanted to create an artistic home in the Northend. As a burgeoning city without a theater group, Kenmore was the ideal location to call home.

So come along. Play with us.  asiftheatre.com

HEART Repertory

A graduate of theatre arts at the University of Washington, Hjalmer Anderson began his career as a high school theatre arts teacher at Inglemoor High School in 1974 and continued to found the Woodinville High School Theatre program in 1983. His teaching career spanned 32 years, garnering numerous awards for his students and program during his tenure, including representing the United States at the Fringe Festivals in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1999 and 2004.

He directed 17 of HEART's streaming video shows including many from radio series like Our Miss Brooks, The Murder Clinic, Escape, Suspense, On Stage, The Haunting Hour, and My Friend Irma. He would like to thank the founding members and the original core group of actors of HEART. This new theatre company started from the strong love and friendships that have helped us survive the pandemic.

Kenmore Heritage Society

How much do you really know about Kenmore? You may have learned its history through books, or stories shared at family gatherings, but we bet they left out some of the more interesting and colorful history of Kenmore’s past. From the Meanderers, who 200 years ago lived along the waterway we now call the Sammamish Slough, to the famous author who was a patient at Kenmore’s Lakewood Villa Sanitarium, and the 1920’s nudist colony within swimming distance of the Kenmore beach at the north end of Lake Washington, these are the stories about Kenmore’s history we would like to share with you.

To enjoy the present and look to the future, we must understand and appreciate the past. Kenmore has a rich heritage which is a part of who we are today. Kenmore History Path is an enjoyable journey for people of all ages. Take a walk down the History Path at Log Boom Park. Follow along with Kenmore Heritage Society's History Path Project presentation. www.kenmoreheritagesociety.org
