Tributary: A Qwalsius-Shaun Peterson Solo Exhibit

05/01/2025 - 05/31/2025

This month at Stonington Gallery, we present Tributary, a solo exhibit of works by Puyallup/Tulalip artist Qwalsius-Shaun Peterson. These works represent the culmination of Shaun’s time spent reflecting on the important master artists who, from the earliest part of his career until the passing of many of them, mentored him, guided him, and educated him on the intricacies of the various Northwest Coast art styles: Nuu-chah-nulth/West Coast, Makah, Tlingit and other northern styles and, of course, his ancestral southern Coast Salish. With these works, designed and created over the course of this past year, but possible only for having studied and learned so closely and carefully from these important mentors, Shaun pays homage to these artists who came before him, whose shoulders he stands on and whose footsteps he follows steadfastly and honorably.

Welcome to Stonington Gallery

Stonington Gallery exhibits an exciting collection of contemporary masterworks from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Serving Seattle since 1979, the gallery is respected for the depth and quality of its collection, exceptional service and knowledgeable staff. For visitors wishing to understand the character of Seattle and the wider Northwest Coast, our gallery is a rich cultural introduction, and proof of the vibrant, living Indigenous cultures and artists of our region. Our mission is to provide the ideal environment for the presentation, enjoyment and understanding of premier contemporary art of the Pacific Northwest Coast and Alaska, and to foster greater appreciation for these artforms and the artists who make them. Our commitment to educating the public and advancing the appreciation of Northwest Coast art has led us to exhibit at museums, convention centers, government buildings, SeaTac airport, the Seattle Aquarium, art fairs, and Nantes, France.

The gallery staff acknowledges that the gallery and larger city of Seattle occupies unceded Duwamish lands.
