Washington Sea Grant (WSG) is honored to present the artwork of Alfredo Arreguín in our 2025 calendar.
The bright colors, detailed patterns and natural imagery of Alfredo Arreguín’s paintings made him one of the preeminent artists of our time. Born in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, Arreguín emigrated to Seattle in 1956 and earned his bachelor’s degree and master of fine arts degree from the UW. His work blends multiple sources of inspiration, from Mexican folk art to Pacific Northwest iconography, including salmon, orcas and the sea. “I love diversity in nature. I appreciate the difference in colors on people, animals and flowers,” Arreguín said. He shared a studio in North Seattle with his wife, Susan Lytle, until he passed away in April 2023.
WSG is thrilled to present Arreguín’s work through a variety of materials over the next few years.
Arreguín and Lytle’s work is represented by the Rob Schouten Gallery & Sculpture Garden. Find it online at www.robschoutengallery.com.
For the last several years, WSG displayed the work of renowned artist Ray Troll in our annual calendars and other materials. We are thrilled to continue our tradition of sharing the work of artists who depict beautiful Pacific Northwest ecosystems.
