Explore the mountains and valleys of the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia in Ascendant at SAM Gallery. Ryan Molenkamp paints mountains and volcanoes, exploring the structure of the natural environment and the things we build upon it. Artworks by Kentree Speirs show his awe of the raw beauty, the drama, and the silence of untamed places.

Meet the artists at the Opening Reception on Sunday, September 11 from 2–4 pm.
