About Us:
A golden thread in the rich tapestry comprising downtown Tacoma’s cultural scene, Brick and Mortar Gallery was born in 2001 and raised in the funky, industrial atmosphere of a 100-year-old brick building with 12-foot-high-ceilings. Building owner Laura Hanan operates the gallery with partner and fellow artist Marty Fehl. Both artists create, exhibit, and sell their contemporary work in their 3,000+ sq ft live/work space with styles that range from Fehl’s whimsical realism and delicate portraiture to Hanan’s colorful abstract expressionism. The artists collaborate and have completed commissioned pieces together and separately, and have work that can be seen at Harbor Wellbeing in Gig Harbor, State Farm Insurance’s regional office in downtown Tacoma’s Columbia Bank Center, and the Peninsula Pierce County Library in Gig Harbor.
“We are formally trained in all aspects of fine art and are practicing professional artists, ”Hanan said, adding “We share an artist’s perspective with our clients yet can facilitate on site all elements of the fine art experience from creating art to framing and design, accentuating the individuality of every piece.
