SUMMARY:May / Shelli Walters—"Open Nature"
DESCRIPTION:Open the door and step onto a secret trail all you own. Meandering through a grove of astute aspen who knowingly whisper to you…breathe. Just as your breath begins to flow more freely it catches at the sight of a heron angling for breakfast Along The Edges of a quiet stream. How did you get here? How long have you been walking? You’ve lost track of time but found yourself again swaddled in the open arms of nature. All else is miles away. \n  \n  \n \nShelli Walters May exhibit\, Open Nature\, features new mixed media paintings and paper mache sculpture at Tumalo Art Co.\nin Bend\, Oregon. The opening reception takes place May 2\,\nduring the First Friday Gallery Walk from 3-7pm in the Old Mill District. \n  \nA peaceful grove of aspen clustered along the edges of a golden meadow draws you in for a closer look. If you’re quiet and listen you may hear the stories inscribed on the trunks of these whispering trees. Once you hear them they cannot be unheard. Carry these Days Of Gold with you and allow your mind to return there whenever you need a golden moment.\n  \nShelli invites you to step into the gallery and take a nature walk via her mixed media paintings\nand paper mache sculpture. She shares a deep-rooted love for art and nature with a hope\nto lift your spirit and offer respite from the challenges of daily life. With a lifetime of art making\nand design experience at her fingertips Shelli digs into the use of alternative tools to apply paint.\nSplashes\, drips\, bold smears of color\, juxtaposed with delicate textures scratched into paint\,\nbits of handwriting and type echo the bold and subtle qualities found in nature.\nAll play so beautifully together – making everything come alive amidst the inviting color palette. \n  \nWelcome spring and the Belle Vie! The happy frolicing of birds and their excited twittering fills the air. Observing them joyfully washing away the patina of winter sparked the idea for a charming series of paper mache bird bath bowls — like tiny portals into the wonder and bliss of the garden.\n  \n  \nSauntering through the exhibit are paper mache sculptures of deer\, rabbit and a bison named Pondo.\nEspecially charming are the paper mache bird bath bowls — like tiny portals into the wonder and bliss of the garden.\nShelli repurposes recycled materials to forge these whimsical creations and includes objects\nfound in nature such as twigs\, pressed leaves and flowers.\n  \n  \nIts early. The morning chill joins forces with your coffee to awaken you to the light of a new day. The sweetness of the air fills your nose and your legs become more fluid as you walk. You stop to breathe it all in and appreciate the enveloping beauty when your eyes meet…Enchanted Moment. Not far away hidden in the tall grass stands a buck\, aware of your presence long before you were.\n  \n“Being in nature opens us up. Releasing us from negative thoughts and energy.\nInviting harmony back into our lives. Creating art is a natural extension of this experience.\nThis art/nature connection is the heart of my work.” \n  \nAnticipation is great\, the winter was long. The Petal Parade has now begun. Bold intricate characters vie for the attention of the sun as pollinators steal their delicate powders. Their time is short but glorious.\n  \nShelli has been a member of Tumalo Art Company for more than 10 years.\nShe has been the signature artist for several community events and her work has been featured\nin magazines\, and on CD and book covers. Her original paintings and sculptures can be\nfound in the homes of collectors across the country. \nWe look forward to seeing you during our First Friday opening this Friday.\nCome and chat with the artists and see the artwork throughout the gallery\nfrom 3-7pm\, May 2\, or throughout the month . \nTake in all of the galleries and studios in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\,\nStacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co.  (the hub)\,\nand various stores host artists for the First Friday Gallery Walk every month. Stop by—we have flyers and can direct you.
