You won't want to miss this year's event. Please tell all your friends about a phenomenal opportunity to purchase a very special piece of artwork recently completed by William Cumming.

This offering comes to us from The Woodside Braseth Gallery and is valued at $5,500.
Offered exclusively at the Morningside Auction on March 7!

The figurative paintings by renowned Northwest Master William Cumming are a fantastic celebration of color and life here in the great Northwest. He continues to capture people and animals in motion. His loose brush strokes of vibrant color define forms in light and shadow, coaxing the viewer into a conversation of invigorating life.

William Cumming is a native of Kalispell, Montana, and grew up in Tukwila, Washington. Largely a self-taught artist, he began his career as a painter working on the WPA Federal Art Project in Seattle from 1938 to 1940. William Cumming was the youngest member of the "Northwest School" of artists, whose members included Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, and Guy Anderson.

In 1961 the Seattle Art Museum devoted an exhibition to his work, and he has had one-man exhibitions at numerous galleries since that time. In addition to an active career as a painter, William Cumming has spent many years teaching art.

This donation is made personally by Diahann & John Braseth in honor of Dr. Kent Johnson and his amazing staff and teachers at our beloved Morningside Academy.

Adam's career in TV actually began with 10 years of work in radio. In that period he worked for a handful of AM and FM stations here in the Puget Sound. Somewhere in the mix of all those stations he was overheard recording a stock report on a business/talk station and was immediately drafted as a traffic reporter. Since then he has broadcast traffic, weather, and news updates on countless radio stations across the Puget Sound earning the title "Seattle's Best Traffic Reporter" by Seattle Magazine in Dec. 2002.

Adam is a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, with a BA in Communication, and a minor in Music. When he isn't on air broadcasting, he's probably working on a stellar new magic trick, recording a new song, practicing Baguazhang in a local park, or taking a power nap.
