If we can trust the evidence of the past three months, Salon Refu in Olympia is now one of the best art galleries between Seattle and Portland. And Mary Randlett is the most celebrated photographer in the Pacific Northwest. Recognized as an outstanding landscape photographer and celebrated for her marvelous sensitivity to the unique Northwest light, Randlett is one of the few surviving members of the Northwest School; she has shot portraits of all the great artists from Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan and Guy Anderson to Mike Spafford, and has been represented in some of the best museums.
