An exhibit of sculpture and original monoprints

Opening reception June 6, from 3-7pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Old Mill District.

Living Wild in the West

Danae’s cast bronze sculptures and original monoprints use organic shapes and rich but subtle colors to
capture the essence of the animals that surround her during her daily life on the ranch.
These sculptures of birds, deer, horses and elk dance with life.

“My senses are filled with the scent of sage, soft breezes and puffy clouds.”

Jack

Danae’s one-of-a-kind bronze sculptures are part of the cultural landscape in Central Oregon
through public placements, including a round-about with several bronze elk on highway 20 in Sisters.
The sculptures are all made from multiple pieces of flowed wax that when cast in bronze or
glass have an organic quality that seems to interpret the animals energy.

A Peek in the Barn

An expert printmaker, Danae’s prints show her love of drawing and expression.
Her most recent mixed media works are monoprints placed onto cradled board to form her image.
Sometimes she collages multiple monoprints, tearing them to create layers of texture.
Danae then pours layers of resin over the art building up the surface
with subtle use of marks and lines between each layer of resin.

Little Man

Born on the east coast Danae has spent almost all of her life in the western high desert.
She works with her husband and son on ranches in Central Oregon and deep in
eastern Oregon where the big skies, light, weather, animals and distant horizons influence her art.
Danae creates her art in a light-filled studio/workshop and a large press in Tumalo.
