Sammamish Commons will present its next art exhibit, “Kinfolk,” a series of colorful porcelain enamel on steel portraits. The show will run from May 12 through Aug. 15 at Sammamish City Hall.

David Berfield, a longtime artist from Bainbridge Island, uses themes derived from family photographs and kinship of another sort-that of a community gathered from the city’s community events archive.

Berfield studied art at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, and ceramics at the University of Hawaii. In Seattle he learned enameling techniques and has collaborated with many artists including painter Jacob Lawrence on a half-dozen large-scale public murals, fixing enamel images to steel. The Lawrence enamels in the Kingdome were Barfield’s work. They were moved to the Seattle Convention Center when the dome came down.

The exhibit can be seen at from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at City Hall, 801 228th Ave. S.E.
