Enriching Burien Through the Arts
Garreth Schuh Paintings @ Highline Heritage Museum
October-December 2024
In the Artist’s Studio
Burien Arts and the Highline Heritage Museum together sponsor In the Artist’s Studio.
In the Artist’s Studio was envisioned as a series of workshops by local artists describing their process and technique. These were planned to be in-person at the Highline Heritage Museum, Burien.
Since the pandemic, we have been presenting the workshops via Zoom and video. The classes are videoed by Burien Arts and produced by the Highline Heritage Museum via a YouTube link.
Please see our video for March-April 2023 artist Danny Mansmith below:
Please see videos of previous artists in the series on our Programs page.
Artist Paul Illian launched the virtual series with a Zoom workshop on landscape painting in August 2020. Please see the video here.
Paul gave an in-person workshop, Landscape Painting with Paul Illian, in October, 2019, at the Museum.

Featured Artist
GARRETH SCHUH
We are pleased to feature oil paintings by Garreth Schuh in the October-December exhibit at the Burien Arts Gallery Wall, Highline Heritage Museum, 819 SW 152nd Street, Burien, WA.
“My current paintings are a series of quirky and disjointed buildings, figures, still life and colorful abstracts, “ Garreth said. “I paint in layers and typically have four to five paintings going at any time so as to be productive while waiting for layers to dry. Inspiration comes in many forms, but sun-bleached buildings and weathered artifacts are regular topics. “
“Living through NW winters, I find that I use color and contrast as an antidote to the gray weather. I embrace an eclectic convergence of images, ideas and influences in my art and enjoy negotiating a considerable level of chaos in the mix. I bring a high degree of craft to my work and often channel my architectural experience into creating works that are both immersive and an object in their own right,” he continued.
Garreth’s current works focus on architecture and quirky portraits.
Several members of Garreth’s family were builders and he learned early how to put a house together. Going on to train in architecture (BS Architecture, University of WA; MA Architecture, University of Pennsylvania), Garreth has made art of all kinds throughout his life and has led parallel careers in both art and architecture. First working with large firms, Garreth later established his own practice focusing primarily on new or remodeled residences, small commercial projects, and disability-related design and advocacy.
After a spinal cord injury, Garreth rebuilt his life around his disability and is now an advocate for the disabled. His architecture and art are strongly influenced by insights gained through disability.
Also a husband and father, Garreth lives and works in Burien. Born in Seattle, he has also lived in New Orleans and Philadelphia.

All works on display at the Museum are for sale by the artist.
