Maritime History in Watercolor

Come for a watercolor exhibition by award-winning painter Robert Chamberlain that illuminates the boats, people, and maritime activity that has defined a way of life for the Western Washington coast. The paintings take the viewer from the mouth of the Columbia to the Puget Sound in a historical and imaginative exploration of the region’s waterways.

Featured artist Robert Chamberlain, now 87, has lived in the Puget Sound nearly all his life and has been painting professionally in Olympia since 1960. His works have been exhibited in shows across the country, and depict the landscapes and lifestyles of the Pacific Northwest.
