Honored to see Karen Chang’s solo exhibition Metamorphosis featured by the International Examiner — one of the Northwest’s longest-running and most respected Asian American publications.

Susan Platt’s thoughtful review beautifully captures the emotional and visual journey behind Karen’s work, describing the series as “assertive women in vivid color” and reflecting on themes of transformation, reclamation, and inner becoming. (International Examiner)

At Gallery B612, we are deeply grateful to support artists who create from places of honesty, vulnerability, and strength. It has been a privilege to present Karen’s first solo exhibition and witness how deeply the work resonates with viewers.

Thank you to Susan Platt and the International Examiner for taking the time to engage so thoughtfully with the exhibition and its message.

JIAMIN ZHU : Secret Garden


We are pleased to present a solo exhibition by Seattle-based photographer Jiamin Zhu.

Working between fashion, fantasy, and portraiture, Zhu creates dreamlike images that blur the line between reality and imagination—inviting us into a world shaped by memory, emotion, and the inner child.

Jiamin Zhu is also the artist behind the official playbill and poster for the Ojak Bridge Art & Dance Festival 2024 (Scheherazade: One Thousand and One Nights).
