About Us

Brackenwood Gallery is located in picturesque Langley on Whidbey Island that has a strong history of support for the arts dating back to the 1920’s when Margaret and Peter Camfferman started a small artist colony called “Brackenwood”.  The Camffermans studied in Europe and the east coast and taught summer classes here where renowned artists such as Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves and Mark Tobey visited. Naming our Gallery Brackenwood honors this rich history.

Our priority is to develop and nurture strong relationships between artists, our community and ourselves while providing a joyful and aesthetic art experience for visitors to Brackenwood. Our First Saturday openings each month are great social occasions where artists and patrons come to view great art and enjoy the festive ambiance at Brackenwood Gallery.

The Gallery owners, Rene Neff and Anne Waterman, bring varied life experiences, including teaching, non-profit leadership, making art, counseling, management and retail, to their work and joy of owning and operating a gallery.
