Mehdi’s Atelier

Snohomish, WA

This sanctuary in Snohomish Washington is where Mehdi feels most at home. Perhaps it is the poplar trees he planted years ago, and now they tower over his studio, or maybe the greenery surrounding the entire compound is giving him that peace he desires. The studio sits off to the side of the main house, and he invites others to enjoy the workmanship he has put into the property over the last thirty years.

The Studio

May - October

Hours: F / S / S - Call for appointment

Art studio with skylights, paintings, and easel. A red upholstered chaise lounge is on an ornate rug. An easel holds a canvas and is surrounded by artist supplies. Exposed wooden beams and green trees visible through the windows enhance the ambiance.

The studio is open from May through October for visitors to the Seattle area. Visitors are welcome into the space where Mehdi studies his paintings and contemplates his next adventures. Visitors can expect great discussions with the artist, view the inventory of his paintings, and browse through his collection of art books. Tea and refreshments are complimentary with the visits.

Workshops

Held upon request

Outdoor scene with an easel and a painting of trees set up on grass, surrounded by tall trees and a sunny sky.

Workshops are available at the atelier by appointment. Mehdi will focus on the true color in nature, exposing the finer elements of drawing, design, color value and brushstrokes. These workshops are extensive and require long eight hour days spread across a three to five day span. There are usually between five to ten students in a workshop, giving all who attend plenty to observe and discuss. These discussions can be both lively and low key after hours at the atelier over a glass of wine and a light supper. All levels are encourage to attend.

The design and layout of the home are the perfect solution for those who want to focus on relaxing, meeting up with family and friends, and exploring the PNW.
