During Saturday’s Art Walk, the Harbor Art Gallery, 114 N. Laurel St., will feature the paintings of Garret S. DelaBarre.

Boldly using line and color, DelaBarre draws inspiration from nature while embracing the spontaneity and joy of the painting process.

His newest series, which was inspired by a summer trip to Grand Teton National Park, reflects the majesty of the mountains while leaning into magical and impressionistic qualities that captivated him.

A Port Angeles resident since 1989, DelaBarre holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from California State University, Fresno, and has been a member of the Harbor Art Gallery Cooperative since 2017.

DelaBarre’s paintings will be on display from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays during September at Harbor Art.
