Sheehan Gallery hosts a presentation about Northwest photographer Mary Randlett

WALLA WALLA-On March 6th at 5:30 p.m. in Whitman College's Olin Hall, room 138, Sheehan Art Gallery Director Daniel Forbes will speak about the work of photographer Mary Randlett.

The gallery was recently gifted the archives of this Northwest photographer and Whitman alum.

Randlett was a recipient of several prestigious honors, including an Anne Gould Hauberg Artist Image Award.

Among her many photographic genres, Randlett is known as perhaps the most significant visual documentarian of Seattle's creative community. A master of portraiture, her photographs immortalized significant Northwest artists and poets like Mark Tobey, George Tsutakawa, Viola Patterson, Jacob Lawrence, and Theodore Roethke.

Sheehan Gallery is located in Olin Hall on Whitman College campus. The gallery is free and open to the public.

The gallery is open: Tuesday-Friday, 12-5 p.m., Saturday/Sunday, 12-4 p.m. or by appointment.
