What an honor! Fairweather House and Gallery received the 2024 Retail Excellence Award!

The Retail Excellence Award is for those with skilled retailing and attention to detail in aesthetics, atmosphere, location, and merchandise.

This award recognizes a retailer who has proactively changed market trends, embraced new technology or ideas, and has strong relationships with employees and customers. They have adapted and excelled through every new fad, trend, or innovation.

“Retail is more than just selling products—it’s about creating an experience. The Retail Excellence Award honors a business that embodies attention to detail, atmosphere, aesthetics, and an exceptional selection of merchandise. This year’s recipient is a business that has turned shopping into an art form.

For over 19 years, Fairweather House & Gallery has been a cornerstone of the historic Gilbert District, offering an ever-changing visual experience that blends fine art, unique furnishings, and extraordinary accessories. Step inside, and you’ll find an impeccably curated collection of glass, paintings, photography, wood, stone, bronze, sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry—all brought together to create an inspiring and unforgettable space.

But this award isn’t just about the business—it’s about the vision behind it. That vision belongs to a creative force whose career has shaped the world of interior design, fine art, and high fashion. From her early days as an artist and teacher to owning multiple galleries, designing interiors for the Parade of Homes and the Street of Dreams, curating award-winning Portland Grand Floral Parade displays, and even working with Ralph Lauren, Denise has spent a lifetime refining the art of beauty.

And rather than keeping that talent in the corporate world, she brought it here—to the Oregon Coast. In 2006, she founded Fairweather House & Garden, which evolved into Fairweather House & Gallery in 2010, becoming a premier destination for fine regional art and design. Denise doesn’t just follow trends—she sets them, constantly pushing the boundaries of style and transforming spaces into places of timeless beauty and tranquility.

We honor a business that has elevated retail to an experience of discovery and inspiration.”

Katie McCloud, Executive Director Seaside Chamber of Commerce

Artist Melissa Jander opened her new art gallery in the charming town of La Conner, Washington, last fall. Nestled between the beautiful Swinomish Channel and the vibrant farmlands of Skagit Valley, La Conner has long been a haven for artists and art lovers alike. She is excited to add her unique voice to this inspiring community.

Artist Statement

“I aim to create art that resonates with the viewer’s emotions through the use of color, shape, and expressive brushwork. The natural beauty surrounding us in the Pacific Northwest is truly inspiring and serves as a constant source of motivation for my work. This inspiration may come from the rugged charm of a rocky coastline and its crashing waves or from a cluster of graceful, luminescent blooms catching sunlight by a window.” — Melissa Jander

Some artists who have significantly influenced my work include Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, and Paul Cézanne, as well as contemporary artists like Anne Redpath and Winifred Nicholson. I admire the freedom these artists exhibit in their creations and the emotions they convey. Painting in this manner brings me immense joy, and I feel grateful to share it whenever possible. 

Artist Bio

Melissa Jander is an accomplished artist known for her contemporary impressions, such as oil paintings. She has a diverse educational background in technical drawing, architecture, graphic design, and foreign language and literature. Melissa has also received art instruction from art institutions such as the Loveland Academy of Fine Art, the Gage Academy, and the Art Institute of Seattle. Various organizations, including Women Artists of the West, The American Impressionist Society, and Oil Painters of America, have recognized her work. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival chose Melissa to create the official 35th-anniversary poster. She seeks to stir emotions through shape, color, and expressive brushwork.

Discover Peg Wells’ Journey: Art in Cold Wax and Encaustic

Distance Flowers, encaustic, by Peg Wells.

What is the difference between cold wax painting and hot wax encaustic painting, you ask?
The key difference between “cold wax” and “hot wax encaustic” is that cold wax is a medium that is used at room temperature, mixed with oil paints, and does not require heat to apply, while hot wax encaustic is a paint made from melted beeswax and pigment that needs to be heated to a molten state to be applied and fused to create layers in a painting; essentially, “cold wax” is a technique used with oil paints, while “encaustic” is a distinct painting medium that relies on heat to fuse layers of wax together. 

Flowers at the Shore, cold wax, by Peg Wells.

And, a back story.

Peg Wells had her art in a gallery under the sunny skies of Arizona, where she became a hotshot at hot wax encaustic painting—literally! After the pandemic, her daughter, a doctor, suggested a move to the Pacific Northwest. While touring a senior housing development in charming Charrboneau, Peg was practically bouncing at the thought of having enough space for an art studio. But then came the shocking revelation that she uses a blow torch—cue dramatic music—as her art suddenly became a fire hazard, and poof! The studio space vanished faster than a magician’s rabbit.

Do not worry; the artist embraced the challenge, as so many creative souls do, and passionately mastered the mesmerizing art of cold wax painting. She also found space in another location to continue to paint in hot wax encaustic.

It’s an extraordinary time of year at Fairweather’s, with new, stunning original art! We are also celebrating our 19th year of telling stories of the exceptional NW artists who have selected Fairweathers to display their work.  

We are dedicated to excellent storytelling through unique vignettes, visual designs, and displays. The tables are dressed for a sneak peek into the approaching cultural arts season. The Gallery is constantly evolving with new ideas. Visit now, and you can expect something new and different.
