Several Ballard businesses stayed open late on Saturday Nov. 8, to showcase local artists and participate in the monthly Ballard Art Walk.

At the boutique Ella Mon, Natasha Lady Krishna, showcased her collection "Bhakti Baby," where many of her paintings portrayed boats and ships.

"I started doing ships about 10 years ago, when I moved from New York to here and I was living in my parents attic," said Krishna. "They are devotional boats to heaven and my way out of the attic (...) everybody needs a vehicle of transportation."

Photographer Jim Molmar gave a talk at Miro Tea. Molmar has a passion for tea, especially oolong teas, and his photographs portray that passion.

"I got into tea 20 years ago when I went on a trip to England, Ireland and Scotland. For six weeks I didn't drink coffee."

Ellen Kissman displayed her Japanese inspired banners at Shakti Vinyasa Yoga. Kissman crafts the banners out of old kimono fabric (bought from ebay) and vintage buttons. "There's a kind of recycled element to it," said Kissman.
