Art in Sammamish City Hall features a free exhibit of a couple’s work until Jan. 15, 2016.

Kent and Michele Van Slyke, who have maintained a studio on Bainbridge Island for 45 years, have been creating art together for almost as long, according to a city press release.

“Kent and Michele Van Slyke is proof that two artists can be exposed to the same experiences and express themselves in a very different manner,” according to the release.

For the last 50 years they’ve been making art, which reflects their lives and travels, including several trips to China where Michele Van Slyke taught metal sculpture 12 years ago. She has used her skills to create public art work in the United States, France and Japan, as well as for numerous private clients.

Kent Van Slyke has a background as a graphic designer and creative director, and he favors the camera and the computer.

All art work is for sale. More information can be found at the exhibit.

Sammamish City Hall is located at 801 228th Ave. S.E.
