I had the pleasure of discovering the Sasha Fair Art Gallery in Wenatchee, WA. Her paintings, ranging from vanishing landscapes and historical buildings to poignant figurative art and portraits, resonate deeply with the region’s agricultural and cultural heritage. One standout piece, “Spring, Wenatchee Valley,” selected as the official 2023 Apple Blossom Festival Art Print, beautifully depicts a middle-school girl holding an apple against the backdrop of a serene sunset, embodying both the vibrancy and resilience of the local community. The way Sasha weaves classical techniques with modern themes, such as the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the vitality of today’s youth, creates a profound connection between the viewer and the artwork.
What sets this gallery apart is not only the quality of the art but also the sense of community it fosters. Sasha’s deep appreciation for Wenatchee’s compassionate and hard-working people is evident in her work, and her engagement with the local arts scene—evidenced by her participation in events like the “Her Sense of Place” exhibition and the 2024 Two Rivers Gallery Plein Air Paint Out, where she won the People’s Choice Award for her piece “Koi Fish, Oil”—adds a layer of authenticity to the experience.
