FUSION Décor Boutique welcomed local artists Judy Eckhardt and Nancy Bogni, as well as local author Dana Quade, during a reception at the boutique on April 22.

Eckhardt has been painting since the 1990s, primarily focusing her work on Northwest scenes. She enjoys the vibrancy of acrylics but has worked in other mediums as well. While being mostly self-taught, Eckhardt has benefited from occasional workshops.

After a full career as a graphics illustrator at Boeing, Bogni now paints and teaches full-time. She has been inspired through workshops with Northwest artists, as well as through classes at the prestigious Scottsdale Art School.

In addition, Quade was also featured at the reception while promoting her book, “Doing the Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World.”

Eckhardt and Bogni’s work and Quade’s book will be on display and for sale at the FUSION Décor Boutique through the middle of May at 31823 Gateway Center Boulevard, Federal Way. Visit www.fusiondecorboutique.com or www.fusionfederalway.org for more information.
