There are two featured artist at Port Gardner Bay Winery for June and July are Gary P. Hartz & JB Nature Photography.
Having taken a “How to Sketch” class at the Schack Art Center little less than, 3 years ago he was completely hooked, and spends most of his free time with a pencil and paper. Gary can often be found at Port Gardner Bay Winery’s “Open Mic Night” Music makes the pencil work, and the atmosphere is perfect for creating.
His drawings are mostly animals. His focus has been on learning more realism. He doesn’t see himself as an artist but as a designer without a straight edge and a student. Each of his sketches are only a steppingstone in the path to the more realistic drawing. He truly hopes you enjoy his sketches.

Hello, my name is John Belanich (JB) and I am a nature and wildlife photographer based in the greater Seattle, WA., U.S.A. area. I celebrate in the Creator’s craftmanship. I appreciated the finer details that nature has to offer and love trying creative things in the outdoors environment.
I have traveled much over the past 40 years in the western U.S. and Canada, Europe, and western Australia and have captured many beautiful photos in all these places. Also, I am available to travel to your area if you have any nature or wildlife subject(s) that you would like to have photographed.
