Join us for Ballard ArtWalk the second Saturday of every month! Our featured artist for May is Tate Irwin, who you may have already met as one of our baristas.

About the Artist:

Based in Seattle, Tate Irwin is an illustrator and graphic designer who brings imagination to life through graphite, charcoal, printmaking, oil paint, and digital mediums. His work, inspired by anatomy, nature, and everyday emotions, reflects influences from James Jean, Alphonse Mucha, and tattoo artistry. Each piece carries a distinct blend of intricate detail and bold storytelling.

When he’s not creating, Tate can be found hiking the PNW trails with his dog, Artemis, exploring the greater Seattle area, getting lost in a good book, or perfecting the art of bread-making.
