SUMMARY:February/March 2025 Group Show—"Unbound"
DESCRIPTION:A Gathering of Fishes   Dee McBrien-Lee \n“This playful piece which follows our February theme of ‘Unbound’ was created to celebrate\nthe removal of the Klamath River Dam and the joy of the fishes returning to their former habitat. ” Dee\n\n\n\n\n \nOur Group Exhibit\, “Unbound” opens  February 7\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk. \n“Unbound”—this exhibition is a celebration of art without limits. Each of the artists in this gallery has come to be known for a particular style\, a technique\, a palette\, a medium\, or a favorite subject. What might we see if they give themselves the permission to break out of that mold? \n\nRacing the Stars   Shelli Walters \n“A band of wild ponies thunders across the Earth. Their spirits are as unlimited as the cosmos as they race the swirling night time stars.” says of her inspiration for her piece for Unbound. \nPerhaps a landscape painter explores abstraction or a watercolorist starts including other materials to make marks and texture. Come see how these artists push boundaries and redefine what art can be. It’s all about freedom\, expression\, and the joy of creating without constraints. \n\nThe Oceans Rise and the Neighborhoods Burn   Anne Gibson \n“I was doing some studio play\, experimentation\, a couple weeks back. Using up pots of paint on scraps of canvas that I just can’t seem to discard. On each scrap I layered colors in various sequences to play with the effects. I then decided to piece them together\, using acrylic medium and paint as the adhesive. No real end goal in mind\, just creating a surface I could continue working on\, loosely thinking this might become something I could submit to the “Unbound” exhibit. \nThe L.A. fires started and grew\, and I found myself spreading red\, gold and yellow paint into big flames over the other colors. Against the turquoise blues and greens\, the palette felt SoCal to me. It was cathartic\, if nothing else. Night aerial photos of burning neighborhoods began appearing in the news. I grabbed a couple rolls of tape in different sizes and masked out squares to represent the burning buildings\, in rows like roads\, or canyons leading down to the coastline. \nThe sheer scale of destruction and loss from these fires is hard to comprehend. The realization that nowhere is safe from climate disaster weighs heavy.” —Anne Gibson about her artwork for Unbound. \n \nFree As a Bird   Helen Brown \n  \n“To be Unbound is to fly free as a bird across boundaries or borders\, and to flee enclosures at will.\nHumans don’t all have this luxury. Through my painting\, I’m trying to express compassion for those feeling trapped…\nas well as desire to be as ‘Free as a Bird’.” —Helen \n  \n\nIf You Could See Time     David Kinker \n  \n“We are all bound by time\, to see the future and the past\, all at once\, unbound.\nThe process came in a dream\, process followed brought it to the present.” David Kinker \n  \n\nReleased   Sarah B. Hansen \nWe look forward to seeing you at the February 7\, First Friday Gallery Walk in Bend\, Oregon’s Old Mill District! If you can’t make it be sure to drop in during the month to see our group exhibit Kaleidoscope—the perfect antidote to the dark and cold of winter! \n• • • • • • • • \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co.  (the hub)\, and various stores host artists for the First Friday Gallery Walk every month. Stop by—we have flyers and can direct you.

SUMMARY:November—Anne Gibson    "A Sense of Wonder"
DESCRIPTION:Written in the Shadows \n  \nA Sense of Wonder\nwith new works by Anne Gibson opens November 1\,\nfrom 3-7pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. \n Anne Gibson continues to explore her deep love of place and near child-like sense\nof wonder at the beauty of this world. Here\, she takes a close look at one small Cascade lake that has borne witness to half a lifetime of joys and sorrows over three decades of hikes\, skis\, snowshoes\, and meanderings in every season and virtually every month of the year. \n  \n“A Sense of Wonder ” is a painting of a strong horizontal of a high Cascade lake in Oregon gives a feeling of spaciousness.\n  \n“Do you have a place that’s engraved in your heart … for countless reasons? \n• The forest scent as you drive in the access road that prompts you to roll down the windows?\n• The slant of the sunlight through the trees? • The lichen that droops from the thick branches?\n• The profusion of wildflowers and tadpoles and the tiniest little frogs?\n• The happy splash as your pup chases another stick into the water?\n• The times you skied or snowshoed in?\n• The friends and family you shared it with?\n• The intricate\, tiny creeks that twist across the meadows?\n• The year you tried to hike there every week of the summer to mark the new flowers in bloom?\n• That achingly gorgeous October visit — be it sun-drenched\, misty\, or snowy?” \nThis strong vertical of a stream tumbling through the woods\, “At the Forest Edge”\, is an acrylic painting by Anne Gibson.\n  \nAnne also has grown increasingly interested in what her materials can do as she layers\, scrapes\, glazes\, and adds marks with various media and tools\, all while looking for the feel of that place\, that memory\, that golden day or chill morning. \n  \n“Winter is Coming” is an acyrlic art work showing a quiet moment in the mountains on the cusp of the changing season.\n  \n“I think landscape gets a bad rap in contemporary art. Like it’s been done before.\nBut as we live through this climate emergency\, it’s more important than ever to\nappreciate the world around us. To see and savor one tree\, or the glancing light\nreflecting on the creek\, or the rush of water cascading over a rock.\nPerhaps it reminds us to be more mindful and make better choices every day.\nI started painting landscapes because that’s what surrounds me and brings me peace in an increasingly chaotic world. I want to share that serenity in my art.” \n  \n“Climbing Toward the Sun”\, is a glimpse of the forest as Anne Gibson hikes the forest.\n  \nArt and art making have always been central to Anne’s life\, but she realized her dream to be an artist circuitously. With a BA in art history from Tufts University\, she worked at the Worcester Art Museum in publications and marketing. At a graphic design studio in Providence\, she created catalogs and promotional materials for museums\, galleries\, and colleges. She continued studio art courses at the School of Visual Arts\, NY; the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; and Rhode Island School of Design. After moving to\nCentral Oregon\, she freelanced as a graphic designer\, raised two children\, and experimented with new media at the Bend Art Center and COCC. Anne’s paintings have appeared in group and solo shows in Bend and Portland\, and on the Oregon coast.\nPrivate\, public\, and corporate collections have acquired her work. \n  \n“Winter Creek” is a place devoid of other footsteps but Anne Gibson was there to record this moment of quiet.\n  \nWe look forward to seeing you at the November 1\, First Friday Gallery Walk in\nBend\, Oregon’s Old Mill District! If you can’t make the opening party\nmake sure to drop in during the month to see A Sense of Wonder with Anne Gibson’s evocative paintings of place and season. \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\,\nStacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house)\nalong with Tumalo Art Co. are the hub\, and various stores host artists\nfor the First Friday Gallery Walk every month. Stop by—we have flyers and can direct you.

SUMMARY:October—Alisa Huntley\, "Reflecting Change"
DESCRIPTION:Sing Me the River ll \n  \n \nAlisa Huntley’s exhibit\, Reflecting Change\, opens October 4\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk at\nTumalo Art Co. The title is a metaphor for the change of seasons as well as the transitions we endure all through our lives.\nAlisa is just getting back to painting after a catastrophic event and finds the healing power of nature a cathartic gift. \n  \n“All Jazzed Up” is an oil on aluminum by Alisa Huntley\, showing a crystal clear stream in Oregon’s Cascade Mountains surrounded by huckleberry bushes that have turned to autumn colors.\n  \n“I love exploring—to be in nature with all senses fully engaged and come upon a scene with extraordinary light and beauty. Those moments that take your breath away\, make your senses vibrate. Whatever you’re thinking about falls away. To be fully in the moment is transformative and exhilarating! \nThe act of painting is also an adventure. It is a powerful mix of vision\, inspiration\, passion\, skill and playfulness. Through acts of creating\, we find opportunities to understand ourselves\, connect with others and connect on a deeper level. \n  \nCentral Oregon’s spring-fed Metolius River in blues and greens—The Source an oil on aluminum by Alisa Huntley.\n  \nThe paintings for Reflecting Change each have been inspired by those magic moments. A fall day on the Metolious River\, incredible light at Sparks Lake\, a last moment on the North Santiam River before the massive fire.” \n  \n  \nCrazy Woman Creek is a large vertical oil on aluminum of a wild mountain creek in Wyoming.\n  \nAlisa’s paintings reflect the optimism\, strength\, resilience\, and joy we can find in our daily lives. Her method of working in transparent layers and loose\, colorful brushwork is enhanced by the reflective surface of copper and aluminum which creates a jewel-like glow.\nWith loose\, gestural strokes she lets the gleam of the metal show through\, adding to the depth and luminosity of the image. \nTumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District\, open 7 days a week. For more information call 541-385-911 or see tumaloartco.com. \n

SUMMARY:September—Improv: Dee McBrien-Lee
DESCRIPTION:Above: Turquoise Trees\, Mixed Media \n  \n \n  \nOpens at Tumalo Art Co. September 6\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Art Walk\nfeaturing new abstract paintings by Dee McBrien-Lee. \nFilled with inspiration after an annual sojourn to the southwest\, and very moved by the color\, Dee decided\nto create a show with color as her starting point leaving the balance of the process open for improvisation.\nThe entire process was very organic and freeing for the artist who works in acrylic and mixed media plus any materials\nthat come to hand that create texture and pattern. \n  \nI’m Your Huckleberry is based on the iconic Western movie ‘Tombstone’. Featured here is Doc Holiday with the three Earp brothers. The title is one of the best known quotes of the film.\n  \nThe artist explains her process for this unique exhibit of abstract paintings:\n“Originally I had not planned to do a show in 2024 but when the slot for September stayed open\, I jumped in without a clear direction for the work.” \nOrchid Improv\, a fresh bouquet in sunshiny colors is a mixed media painting by Dee McBrien-Lee.\n  \n“My husband and I travel through the southwest each year and this spring we visited Southern California\, Tucson and Winslow\, Arizona\n(yes\, THAT Winslow\, Arizona)\, Santa Fe\, New Mexico and Southern Utah. Every place we went we saw amazing art.\nFrom beautiful landscapes to western and native American art\, surrealism and of course\, fantastic abstracts.\nI was enthralled and deeply inspired by all of it. With my head spinning and my creativity bursting to come out\,\nI decided on Improv as my theme which would give me a broad\, somewhat baseless place to begin creating.” \n  \nA pure abstract with collage\, Letting Go is a mixed-media by Dee McBrien-Lee.\n  \n“Each of the 15 new works in Improv began without a plan\, nothing more than a few colors and shapes to start.\nThe evolution of the individual pieces and the arc of the show was very organic and with layering and an abundance of playtime\,\nthings began to take shape. With several of the larger pieces I would see an area that I found compelling and would be inspired\nto begin a new piece using this smaller section as my jumping off point. From ‘Avalon’ came ‘My Garden Shed’\,\nfrom there came ‘Bridesmaids’. This happened several times and made for a very interesting process overall.” \n  \nThe Two Olive Solution is a small piece that Dee McBrien-Lee derived from a larger work.\n  \n“Other examples include ‘Street Party’ to ‘Piano Man’ and ‘I’m Your Huckleberry’ to ‘The Two Olive Solution’ plus ‘All That Jazz’.\nMy hope is that the viewer will see and feel the various threads that bind the show together and truly make it one of total improvisation.” \n•  •  •  •  •  • \nWe  look forward to seeing you at the September 6\, First Friday Gallery Walk in Bend\, Oregon’s Old Mill District! If you can’t make the opening party\nmake sure to drop in during the month to see this uniquely IMPROVisational exhibt of 15 new paintings by Dee McBrien-Lee. \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\,\nand Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co. are the hub\, and various stores host artists\nfor the First Friday Gallery Walk every month.

SUMMARY:August—Katherine Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Painting the Invisible: Unveiling What’s Under the Sheen\nOpens August 2\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk\n  \n  \nKatherine Taylor oil painting\, Cougar Unveiled\, is a dynamic close-up meant to bring the viewer into the cougar’s wild world.\n  \n  \n  \nKatherine Taylor focuses this body of work on depicting the underlying mystery of her subjects\, as a way to understand the invisible\nqualities lurking just below the surface of a person\, animal\, landscape or even a bowl of fruit. \nClassically trained artists like Katherine  learn techniques to recreate a 3-dimensional effect on a 2-dimensional surface (like a canvas).\n“It’s fun and amazing to be able to achieve this 3-D effect\, but it’s still not enough to create a great work of art.\nI am sure you have seen paintings of subjects that are accurately rendered but devoid of any emotion or meaning.\nI attempt is to break through the sheen of realism to a deeper level of meaning.” \n  \nWith “Bohemia Unveiled” Katherine Taylor makes an reflective oil portrait of a woman in beautiful peach light.\n  \n  \nKatherine believes mastery can only be achieved when an artist goes beyond realism to capture the essence of a portrayal\, or the “soul.”\nEven inanimate subjects —places and objects— have a soul or essence that we can feel. \nPainting essence is not always easy\, however. Sometimes an artist attempts to capture it by depicting movement and rhythm\, as if there is a before and after\ntaking place within that one snapshot in time. Sometimes essence is achieved by illustrating the underlying emotion or intention of the subject.\nSometimes it’s just a matter of painting the electromagnetic wavelength of light that brings the object into being (because without light\,\nof course\, nothing would be visible). “That is why I always pay as much attention to painting the light surrounding a subject as I do the person\, animal\,\nor object itself. Light energy is mystical and helps to reveal ‘essence.’ ” \n  \nGreat American Bison show a resting herd in warm afternoon lighting. An oil painting by Katherine Taylor\, the Three Sisters in the Cascade mountains create the backdrop.\n  \nAll the paintings in this show are Katherine’s attempts to paint the invisible\, and trying to live up to Rick Rubin’s wise adage…\n“Artists allow us to see what we are unable to see\, but somehow already know.” \n  \nPeppers Unveiled is an example of Katherine Taylor’s dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and luminous glazing.\n  \nWe  look forward to seeing you at the August 2\, First Friday Gallery Walk in Bend\, Oregon’s Old Mill District! If you can’t make the opening party\nmake sure to drop in during the month to see this vibrant and insightful exhibit of 10 new oil paintings by Katherine Taylor. \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\,\nand Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co. are the hub\, and various stores host artists\nfor the First Friday Gallery Walk every month.

SUMMARY:June—Danae Bennett-Miller
DESCRIPTION:Spirit Memories  details \n  \n  \nLight of the Spirit\, A Journey of Joy celebrates the beauty of the natural world\nwith sculpture and printmaking by Danae Bennett-Miller\, opening June 7\,\nduring the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk from 3-7pm. \n\nWhisperings is a monoprint with collage and poly layers on cradled board featuring an elk in an aspen grove eliciting the magic of wildlife in nature.\n  \n  \nTo create her one-of-a-kind bronze sculptures of birds\, cranes\, raptors\, deer\, elk\, horses\, buffaloes and chickens\, Danae pours hot wax out as sheets. As wax flows it creates beautifully organic textures. With a plan in mind\, she then forms the slabs of wax into a model\, fabricating each sculpture from many pieces of the flowed wax. A foundry translates the shapes into bronze using the lost wax process. Danae adds the patina’s herself\, which is an art form itself. She also adds cast glass to many of her sculptures\, bringing the added element of translucence to her work. Along with life-size and larger wildlife and ranch animals\, many of Danae’s sculptures are tabletop size which make acquiring sculpture possible for all levels of collectors. \n  \nSpiritual Memories is a 30 x 30 monoprint with poly layers exhibiting Danae Bennett-Millers exquisite approach to depicting wildlife.\n  \nBesides sculptures for residential and corporate placement\, Danae has had many public sculpture commissions.\nThese include roundabout art of a horse on Greenwood Ave. in Bend\, Oregon; herons in a pocket park at the end of Minnesota Street\nin downtown Bend and a heron sculpture in downtown Sisters\, Oregon. The most ambitious of her public art installations\nis a tableau of life-size elk and pronghorn bronze sculptures with towering basalt rocks\, in the only roundabout in Sisters\, Oregon.\nThis roundabout is also the only one on a state highway in Oregon. She is presently working on a\ncommission for a roundabout in the city of Sherwood\, Oregon. \n  \nJumpstart is a monoprint on cradled board featuring a deer leaping a ranch fence captured the feeling of wildlife seen everyday on our lands.\n  \nRecently a heroic-sized bronze and leaded glass eagle was installed on a tall pine tree stump (see below) at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture in Sisters\, Oregon. Many of these installations are challenging works of art in themselves. \n\n  \n \n\n• • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nJoin us during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. Enjoy great wine from Evoke and Va Piano\, yummy food\, and interesting conversation. If you prefer a contemplative atmosphere\, stop by anytime throughout the month to absorb this exhibit. \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co. are the hub\, and various stores host artists for the First Friday Gallery Walk every month.

SUMMARY:May—Nancy Becker & Susan Luckey Higdon
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal Confusion\, Susan Luckey Higdon; Ripples Quietly\, Nancy Becker \n  \nstillness\nNew hand-blown glass & landscape paintings\n  \n \n  \nOpening May 3\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill Districts First Friday Gallery Walk\,  Tumalo Art Co. presents Stillness. The exhibit combines the glowing transparency of hand-blown glass by Nancy Becker with poetic landscapes by Susan Luckey Higdon. \n  \n\nHuckleberry Mist—Susan Luckey Higdon \n  \nWith a similar sensibility for color and a shared awe of what is communicated by nature\, glass artist Nancy Becker and painter Susan Luckey Higdon enjoy seeing their work displayed together. Designing the gallery’s exhibit space with 2D and 3D pieces leads to a stunning synchronicity as the artworks ‘speak’ to each other. Experiencing Susan’s images from her time in the high Cascades and Nancy’s fluid use of color and shape in her glass blowing is a visual feast. Natures hush and deep stillness has inspired this art. \n  \n\nStillness Before the Storm — Nancy Becker \n  \n“Making glass has been integral to my life forever\, or so it seems! I live and work on my land in rural Oregon with a crew of horses\, dogs\, cats and donkeys all who have been through a lot in their lives. I see the spirit of these animals\, the land that surrounds me—the colors\, the light\, the storms\, the peace\, and my work is infused with these inspirations. Glass is a fascinating medium. It is fluid even when hardened. This particular body of work was made through difficulty as I have been without a work space and needed to travel to a ‘hot shop’. Through that process my connection was rekindled. There are always gifts with difficulty. Experiencing the incredible relationship between glass and fire I am once again drawn into all of the fluid possibilities.”\n             —Nancy Becker \n  \n\nA Kind of Hush—Susan Luckey Higdon \n“This new body of work comes out of a summer and fall of exploring mountain lakes\, creeks and rivers near my home. Camping allowed me to contemplate spots again and again in different light and weather\,leading to deep connection and moments of awe. Sifting through sketches and photos\, and deciding which compositions called me the most\, I began the process of bringing these moments in time to life in the studio. Color\, light\, texture\, shapes…I am drawn to complex interactions and want to communicate what I see in a way that captures the spirit of the place\, showing accurate mood and detail\, but working toward simplicity. All of these paintings challenged me. But in pushing through there is a sense of arrival. Like seeing a dear friend.”\n          —Susan Luckey Higdon \nNancy Becker used gently swirling colors of nature for this tear-drop shaped vessel\, Painted by the Wind.\n  \nJoin us during the First Friday Gallery Walk and throughout the month to absorb this exhibit. Enjoy great wine from Evoke and Va Piano\, yummy food\, and interesting conversation. \n  \n\nListen\, by Susan Luckey Higdon \n  \nOur galleries in the Old Mill District — Lubbesmeyers Studio & Gallery\, Stacks Studios & Gallery (just upstairs)\, and Amejko (in the little red house) along with Tumalo Art Co. are the hub\, and various stores host artists for the First Friday Gallery Walk every month.

SUMMARY:April—Sarah B. Hansen
DESCRIPTION:Above: Dancing Light \n  \n\nPlein Air to Studio\n  \nTumalo Art Co. presents Sarah B. Hansen’s\, Rising Air—Plein Air to Studio\, opening April 5\, from 3-7 pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. The exhibit encompasses a collection of plein air paintings created in some of Sarah’s favorite locations in Central Oregon\, Colorado\, and the Pacific Northwest\, alongside large studio works inspired by of the plein air pieces. \n  \nCottonwood Canyon Plein Air was painted during a camping trip to this remarkably beautiful desert river canyon state park in eastern Oregon.\n  \n“I copy out mountains\, rivers\, clouds. I take my pen from my pocket.\nI note down a bird in its rising or a spider in its little silkworks.\nNothing else crosses my mind. I am air\, clear air\, where a wheat is waving\, where a bird’s flight moves me…” \n– from Pablo Neruda\, Pastoral \n  \nDancing Ripples was painted in the studio and inspired by a day painting plein air in the Cascade mountains.\n  \n“When I am immersed in nature\, painting what is before me\, I absorb joy and peaceful energy. Surrounded by the sounds of birds\, wind\, animals\, insects…my shoulders relax and my mind goes blank. Hours can pass of sheer bliss. I notice a sense of floating on air\, right next to the bees. The abundance of life works its way into my paintings\, becoming a statement on place; a relief from modern life.” \n  \nColumbia Gorge Balsam Root is a 14 x 11″ on board painted on-site in the Columbia River Gorge.\n  \n“In painting outdoors\, I begin to examine my relationship with natural landscape elements and the abundance life in the forests\, meadows\, rolling hills and canyons I explore. Later\, I take those relationships to an interior space\, both figuratively and literally\, to create studio pieces. The larger studio pieces reflect a deeper dive into my connections to the earth\, and an expression of the joy I feel in those outdoor spaces.” \n  \nLittle Lava Lake I is a 12 x 12″ plein air completed on-site on a gorgeous afternoon in October 2023.\n  \nVisit us during the First Friday Gallery Walk and throughout the month to see this enlightening and spirit-lifting exhibit. Get a glimpse of Sarah B. Hansen’s process of exploring the natural world in her art. We are open 7 days a week. \n

SUMMARY:"Leap"—February Group Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:No Risk\, No Reward\n“We need to take a leap for what we want\, even when there is a risk in the consequence.”—Helen Brown \n\nA group exhibit exploring the concept of Leap Year\n\n2024 brings us a Leap Year which has us contemplating the meaning of the word “leap” and the diverse ways it can be used. LEAP opens February 2\, from 3-7pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Old Mill District.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOutbound\n“Whether you are at a crossroad or the beginning of a journey\, follow your dreams and leap to new adventures.”— Adell Shetterly\n\n\nIn nature\, sunlight leaps through the trees\, a fish leaps at a fly on the water’s surface and a young fox leaps into new territory in search of his own domain. Our human lives are full of leaps. Some physical\, some emotional\, some are big and some are small.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeap\n“This painting represents the millisecond before a leap forward\, that pregnant and electrically charged still moment when one is thinking about that leap into a new direction before it’s actually executed.” —Katherine Taylor \n  \nExciting\, daunting\, challenging\, unexpected— leaps take many forms. We may leap at the chance to experience something we have always craved\, we leap for joy\, we leap into new adventures\, projects\, jobs\, roles and relationships. We take leaps of faith\, leaps of imagination and leaps into action. We leap to conclusions\, we leap over obstacles and wonder how we did it. \n\n  \n  \n  \n\n\nHigh Desert Bike Lane \n“It took some mental gymnastics to tack up this 3.5′ x 4.5’ piece of canvas vertically and complete the entire painting sideways\,  because it wouldn’t fit upright on my narrow studio wall.”—Anne Gibson \n  \nWe take leaps forward in the progress of our work\, our understanding of ourselves and others and our lives. How might you express this concept? The February exhibit features artistic interpretations of “leap”. \n\n  \n  \n\n\n Spirits Leap \n“The great outdoors ignites my heart\, mind\, soul and imagination. My spirit leaps.” —Shelli Walters \nWe are excited to present this thought provoking exhibit and see how the leap concept comes to life through the hearts\, minds and hands of our artists. \n\n\nJoin us during the First Friday Gallery Walk fabulous art\,  great wine from Evoke and Va Piano\, yummy food\, and interesting conversation.

The exhibit will be up through November 28. \n  \nBruce Jackson’s fine art photograph\, Behind the Veil\, was taken at Black Butte Ranch\, Oregon. “When I approached this grove of aspens\, my eyes scanned the potential and instantaneously locked onto this composition”.\n  \nWell-known for his masterful compositions\, Bruce Jackson’s ability to capture both the complexity and simplicity of nature shines through in his highly detailed large format fine art photographs. \n  \nJust Rewards\, photographed by Bruce Jackson at Oregon’s Silver Falls State Park\, so named because of the race against time and conditions to achieve this photograph.\n  \nHis first major success came in the form of fine art posters including\, ‘The Summit – Mt. Bachelor’\, which sold over 20K impressions. This was followed by winning Grand Prize in the Sierra Club International Photo Competition. Since then\, Bruce has created numerous iconic landscape images throughout his 30+ year career. Whether grand landscapes or images focusing on the stunning beauty and intrigue of intimate landscapes\, his keen eye for texture\, color and shapes has defined his classically unique style. \n  \nDuring a grueling mountain climb\, on a stunning\, windless day\, photographer Bruce Jackson captured this image of a rare combination of alpine plant life.

SUMMARY:Dorothy Freudenberg—Gardening in the Mind's Imagination
DESCRIPTION:  \nDorothy Freudenberg’s September exhibit \n \nfeatures digital media exploding with color and nuance. \nOur Conversation Drifted \, a strong horizontal digital media artwork\, with a big\, dramatic red sun and oriental influences.\n  \nWhen Dorothy Freudenberg arrived in Bend many years ago\, her garden became the focal point of her burgeoning photography experiences. Eventually she expanded the concept interpreting the whole planet as a huge\, interconnected garden—one that supports all of life. \nBlue Winter Garden\, by Dorothy Freudenberg continues the oriental theme with cool colors.\n  \nFrom using only the camera lens to create images\, she moved into exploring digital media which lends itself particularly well to the development of metaphorical creations that have their basis in the real world\, but then transcend the literal. On her almost daily early morning walks (often in the Old Mill District\, along the river paths) Dorothy photographs nature as it is\, creating stunning ethereal images of patterns and textures of flora and fauna often overlooked as mundane. Then\, taking bits and pieces from all of these photographs\, she creates images digitally that have their basis in the real world\, but become pure emotion and imagination. \nPoppies Waking in a Dream illustrates one of Dorothy Freudenberg’s favorite and diverse subjects in the garden.\n  \n“While I love to photograph nature as it is\, I also cannot limit my imagination to simply accept this as the final means of expression. Nature is the inspiration\, the mind is the means to embellish and find sublime pleasure in the imagination’s play. \nLook Up\, a digital media artwork by Dorothy Freudenberg communicates the lyrical joy of a garden at sunset.\n  \nA classically trained pianist Dorothy has been putting the images of nature from her morning walks together with exquisite piano music into slideshows that can be seen on youtube. This meditative\, calming slideshow will be available during her September exhibit on a USB drive for everyone’s enjoyment. And\, you will be able to view the photos used in the slideshow on a tablet set-up for that purpose. \nAs a special addition to her exhibit\, Dorothy worked with artist Dina Rhoden on a collaborative artwork titled\, Intricacies\, a mixed media dreamscape of floral drama. Dina worked in acrylic paint and collage on top of a digital media image from Dorothy’s most recent Garden Bliss photograph series. The result is magical. Stems\, leaves\, and blooms seemingly move together in a colorful\, ephemeral dance that celebrates life and human imagination. \nDina Rhoden employs vibrant colors and shapes in her collages that celebrate the joy of the human imagination. She has an Master of Fine Arts from The University of Washington and a Ph.D from the University of Cincinnati. During her working career she split her time as a professor and director of a social work agency. \nDina and Dorothy met at Tumalo Art Co. during Dorothy’s artist/gallerist shift and formed an instant artistic connection. They decided to combine artistic expressions as an experiment and it resulted in this artwork filled with pure joy. \nDorothy has also reproduced special fine art cards from the Garden Bliss photographs. Totally assembled by Dorothy and created for her September\, Gardening in the Mind’s Imagination show\, these new cards are miniature fine art prints.

SUMMARY:Shelli Walters —SunGarden
DESCRIPTION:Tumalo Art Company’s August exhibit\, SunGarden\, features new mixed media paintings and paper mache sculpture by Shelli Walters. The opening reception takes place August 4\, during the First Friday Gallery Walk from 3-7pm in the Old Mill District. \nA bike\, bird and flowers show up in the whimsical Garden-A-Go-Go mixed media art by Shelli Walters.\n  \nVisitors to the gallery in August will be treated to an uplifting stroll through Shelli Walters whimsical imagined gardens. Steal a few moments for yourself to feel warm sunlight\, hear chirping birdsong and tap into the abundant buzzing life in Shelli’s SunGarden series. Allow nature to melt away your thoughts and worries\, restoring peace and positive energy. Shelli says this body of work flowed out over the past year in response to the loss of her Mom. Her grief and muddling through the complex estate management process had her craving moments of peace and simplicity. \n“Stepping into the garden to catch a breath and unplug from the fray is a healing salve and personal refuge — a powerful way to appreciate the wonder of nature and our blessings.” \nSunbeam is a fanciful collage mixed media sculpture of a horse by Shelli Walters.\n  \nShelli brings this experience into the studio where it spills out in acrylic paint\, collage\, graphite and crayon on 24”x12” canvas panels creating a mural-like impression of a blissful day in the garden. The panels became part of the creative process as Shelli played with stitching them together into diptychs and triptychs as they evolved to reveal ideas and compositions that contribute to the whimsical nature of the work. A playful color palette\, organic shapes and textures weave through the pieces bursting with dreamy summer vibes. \nLabyrinth is a triptych of 12 x 12″ wrapped canvases creating an ethereal garden\, by Shelli Walters.\n  \nSauntering through the garden are paper mache sculptures of deer and birds on bicycles\, complementing the two-dimensional work. Shelli enjoys repurposing materials to forge these whimsical creations giving what would otherwise end up in the trash or recycle bin a joyful new place in the world. She is especially delighted to transform the never-ending stream of her Mom’s junk mail into art. \nLoopdeeloop is a mixed media collage\, curly-cue sculpture with a bird on top and robins egg blue patina by Shelli Walters\nSunGarden celebrates life\, joy and sunshine. Visit the gallery\, feel your spirits lift and take a piece of Shelli’s Sun Garden home with you to brighten your space year-round. \nTumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District open 7 days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Anne Gibson —Fractures and Interludes
DESCRIPTION:  \nAnne Gibson’s inspiration for her July exhibit\nEach moment represents an interlude of a sort\, that now between the past and the future. Each fracture might reveal a hidden gem. \nIn the Flow is a 30 x 20″ acrylic on canvas by Anne Gibson.\n  \nIn this body of work\, Anne Gibson takes a closer look at the spaces in between: the mighty juniper whose roots fracture through basalt to reach the water\, the tiny flowers and lichens that cling precariously to a crack in the cliff face\, the river suspended between the walls of a deep quiet canyon. Large vertical canvases of these three motifs\, each nearly five feet tall\, anchor this show and honor the resilience and beauty of the natural world. Other pieces reflect interludes that allow personal restoration: floating down a serene creek\, hiking a favorite trail\, daydreaming before a peaceful view. \nReaching for Water is a strong vertical painting of juniper and its roots by Anne Gibson.\n  \nAs fractures in our world seem to dominate every news cycle\, whether they be as tangible as a dam breach or as conceptual as ideological divisions\, it feels more and more important to seek and cherish the interludes: \nNot a beginning\, not an end\, this neutral place is rich with stillness\, with movement in all directions…. So pass in peace\, stranger\, though our orbits differ\, I too have rested here at these limbo interludes in our shared planet’s rotation.  – Debjani Chatterjee \n  \nWater Dance is an acrylic on canvas by Anne Gibson.\n  \nSlow down\, look\, and experience the interlude you find yourself in today. As this artist does so\, she wonders most about our children’s climate future and the lessons we can learn from the resilience of Nature herself. \nFractures and Interludes is a painting of a canyon in Central Oregon by Anne Gibson in her July exhibit by that name.\n  \n“Fractures and Interludes”\, a one-person exhibit with new paintings by Anne Gibson opens July 7\, from 3-7pm during Bend’s Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk. The show will be up through July. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dee McBrien-Lee —Incanto
DESCRIPTION:Tumalo Art Co. features new paintings by Dee McBrien-Lee\, opening June 2\, during the First Friday Gallery Walk from 3-7pm in the Old Mill District. Her solo show\, Incanto\, features both figurative and pure abstract works in mixed media with an emphasis on acrylic. \nLand of Enchantment a pure abstract bringing up the feeling of the Southwest by Dee McBrien-Lee.\n  \nIncanto is defined in Italian or Spanish as a spell\, charm\, enchantment\, fascination\, or magic—the act of enchanting or state of being enchanted. \nI Am So in Love With You is a semi-abstract figurative painting by Dee McBrien-Lee in her June 2023 exhibit at Tumalo Art Co. in Bend\, Oregon\n  \nWith each painting Dee attempts to immerse or enchant you\, inviting you closer to see the mysteries and secrets held within. Dee is happiest when deconstructing images into their most abstract forms while retaining a sense of place and subject. These paintings invite the viewer to create the story\, while embracing them with color and shape. \nIncanto\, a dreamy abstracted image of waterlilys by Dee McBrien-Lee\n  \nWhen coming up with a theme for this show Dee wanted to make it broad enough to include both abstract and loosely figurative works. “Over the past 18 months I have dedicated myself to exploring and digging into abstract design and various techniques that are new to me as well as those I have utilized in the past. I have re-introduced a lot of collage and free play with acrylic and other media and especially love to use oil crayons\, graphite and\, sometimes\, fabric or found items in the work.” \nThis Magic Moment—by using bold dark color for her figures she means to portray all color and inclusiveness of all skin tones.\n  \nIf you notice that the figurative pieces in this new body of work all use a very dark color with no defining details other than the outline of the face\, hands or figure\, Dee says that the decision to depict her figures as ‘black’ was not based on race or ethnicity. “In physics black is the total absence of color\, whereas in art black is the inclusion of all colors. So for me the significance of using only one bold color\, is inclusion.” \nIt Was a Sunny Day is an abstract painting by Dee McBrien-Lee implying the play of light on objects and nature.\n  \nBe sure to come into the gallery to see this compelling exhibit of new works by Dee McBrien-Lee. Check out her ARTISTS page for a full menu of her art and the pieces in this show that can be purchased online. \nBe enchanted with Incanto! \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Helen Brown —The Spectrum of Birthstones
DESCRIPTION:Above Turquoise Deep  \n  \nWhat better way to study color than to concentrate on the 12 birthstones of the calendar? Helen Brown will do just that in her May show at Tumalo Art Co. “I like the idea of examining color as a gem because each stone reflects many variations of its color through facets and light.” \n“Amethyst Fields Forever” is for the February birthstone and is a scene of Mt. Hood with a lavender field in the foreground.\n  \nHelen’s exhibit will include twelve new watercolor paintings\, each focused on one gemstone’s color. The subject of her work is broad\, including landscapes\, flowers\, a night-time cityscape and even an old automobile. An award-winning watercolorist\, her most recent being an award of distinction in the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Spring Aqueous Media show now on display at the Barber Library at Central Oregon Community College until May 29\, for her painting\, Vestiges of Mt. Mazama. She uses a unique process referred to as watercolor batik\, using a wax resist process. This\, combined with painting on rice paper\, gives her images texture and contrast. \nThe details of the engine grill on an old=time truck is the subject to the Emerald birthstone.\n  \nHelen’s natural curiosity helps her to step outside of her comfort zone to explore painting all kinds of subjects. She became interested in the history surrounding the Lewis & Clark expedition which resulted in her show\, My Journey with Lewis & Clark\, first exhibiting at Tumalo Art Co in 2016\, and then at the Oregon Historical Society in Portland from 2017-2018. Helen\nregularly paints landscapes from around her home in Central Oregon\, from alpine forest and mountains to high desert\, as well as scenes from the many places she travels including a family cabin in Montana and the sojourns to the southwest. Previously a french teacher\, she has lived in France and Australia. \n  \nFinding a Garnet colored prom gown in the middle of white and ivory fancy dresses challenged Helen’s desire to paint.\n  \nFor this show Helen has chosen unusual subjects like a rack full of gowns for the garnet birthstone and an old green automobile for the emerald birthstone\, and a white winter forest of aspen. Many of these various subjects are filled with complexity\, which she deals with expertly\, retaining the important details that help the viewer explore the piece. \n  \n“Ruby Redhead”\, a detail of fireweed is the perfect combination of color and simplifying complexity using contrast and highlights.\n  \nFind you birthstone! \nJanuary — Garnet\nFebruary — Amethyst\nMarch — Aquamarine\nApril — Diamond\nMay — Emerald\nJune — Pearl\nJuly — Ruby\nAugust — Peridot\nSeptember — Sapphire\nOctober — Opal\nNovember — Topaz\nDecember — Turquoise \nFor the Topaz birthstone\, aspen leaves are a natural.\n  \nHelen Brown’s exhibit opens May 5\, and will run through May 30. Come in and see the spectrum of birthstones in diverse images. \n  \n

SUMMARY:David Kinker — Grand Escapes
DESCRIPTION:For Tumalo Art Co.’s first solo show of 2023\, David Kinker has created paintings of an epic year of adventure. “Grand Escapes” opens April 7\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. \n  \n“In the Other World”\, the colors of the changing light on a raft trip in Argentina.\n  \nIn the fall of 2022 David took an 18-day raft trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon—for the 5th time. He then spent seven weeks in Chile and Argentina\, including hiking and backpacking in Patagonia\, and a two-week river expedition down the Rio Grande Colorado of Argentina. \n“Patagonia Horizons” is an acrylic painting of the jagged peaks in the far southern hemisphere.\n  \n“As a personal practice of meditation I am driven to paint even on wilderness trips. I am emotionally moved by beauty and natural wonders and paint plein air on my trips as a way to be fully present in observation and the senses.” After arriving home\, David dives back into the experience by creating large studio paintings in response to his connections to the places and people he meet\, hoping to share his sense of wonder with others. \nMore information and photos or artwork to come as we get closer to the show! \n“Daydreaming”\, is an acrylic painting from David Kinker’s time floating the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River.\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Equilux — Group Show
DESCRIPTION:“Bright Bay” is an acrylic by Mollie Jurgenson   details \n  \n \nWhen Day & Night Are Equal\n  \nFor March\, the artists in Tumalo Art Co. create art about the “Equilux” with a group exhibit opening March 3\, from 3-7pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Old Mill District. \n  \nSusan Luckey Higdon’s\, “The Edge of Day and Night” is an acrylic on cradled board.\n  \n  \nTwice a year\, day and night reach a perfect balance of 12 hours each\, creating a little-known event called the Equilux. The Equilux happens just a few days before the much more well-known equinox\, which happens March 20 this year. Equilux means “equal light” in Latin and describes when day and night are equal. \n“Red Sky at Dawn”\, an oil painting by Janice Druian.\n  \nThis is a compelling subject for artists who are often enthralled by that moment when day becomes night and the incredible light effects that are produced. Art in many mediums and sizes will describe the effect of light and dark on the land and objects in this exhibit. \nHelen Brown paints in watercolor on rice paper using a batik technique\, “The Cat Pack”\, showing the felines rimmed in moonlight.\n  \nOur artists work in all mediums\, from watercolor to oil and acrylic\, mixed media\, Digital art and photography. There are also a variety of sizes to choose from. Complimenting the 2D art are hand-blown glass\, ceramics and wood-turning and wood segmented objects as well as sculpture. One of our goals as a gallery is to provide art for the beginning collector as well as those who are looking for large pieces for their homes or corporate settings. \n  \n“Between Here and There”\, a monoprint by Adell Shetterly shows the even light of day.\n  \nThis is just a cross-section of the art in the show. Come in and experience the shifts in light and dark\, daylight and night in our March “Equilux” Group Exhibit. We are open 7 days a week! \n  \nThe sun goes down over Haystack Rock in Katherine Taylor’s\, “Coastal Sky”.\n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nancy Becker & Susan Luckey Higdon—Dreaming of Water
DESCRIPTION:Glass artist Nancy Becker and landscape painter Susan Luckey Higdon are combining their love of color and shape in Dreaming of Water\, opening November 4\, from 3-7pm\, during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. \nTransitions is a hand-blown glass platter by Nancy Becker.\n  \nFinding an affinity that resonates for both artists about the mystery and movement of water\, Nancy and Susan have joined forces to create art in their respective mediums\, in 2D and 3D for this November exhibit. \n  \nClear Your Mind is an abstracted composition of the crystalline waters of Oregon’s Metolius River.\n  \nGlass becomes liquid when heated\, swirling with color that Nancy shapes with mastery and wizardry into vessels\, vases and platters. She is inspired by the natural world that surrounds her creating colors and shapes that remind her of rivers\, lakes\, a gust of wind or the shades of autumn reflections. \n  \nBoth sides of Nancy Becker’s Reflections on Sparks Lake hand-blown glass vessel\n  \nSome of Nancy’s vessels are dense with color and others are clear with notes of color swirling loosely throughout. The making of glass is challenging all the way through the process. After the initial hand-blowing of the glass at the furnace\, it must be annealed\, meaning it needs to cool very slowly so that it doesn’t crack. Only after the annealing is complete are the true colors of the piece revealed. The last step\, polishing\, must be handled with extreme care. \n  \nRestful Waters — Steelhead at Steamboat Creek by Susan Luckey Higdon\n  \nSusan is transfixed with the movement and color of water\, capturing it’s layers\, from the pebbles on the bottom to the creatures in the stream\, to the continually changing reflections. For the past few years she has been abstracting her work with composition by cropping closely to find the essence of the scene. Her rendering is representational and impressionistic to capture what has moved her to paint. Susan wants to express the chaos of pattern existing in nature. \nBoth artists have been working in their chosen mediums for over 30 years. They continue to challenge themselves to interpret nature in a way that connects emotionally\, intuitively and joyfully with the viewer.

SUMMARY:Anne Gibson—Topophilia : Into the Canyons
DESCRIPTION:On the very first day of Anne Gibson’s first visit to Central Oregon\, a morning hike at Smith Rock and an afternoon ski at the Nordic Center up in the Cascade mountains cemented her dream to move out West. Over the decades\, this place became home as she lived through both uplifting and painful life experiences\, all sharpened and cushioned by the pinch-me joy of actually living in a place most people only come to vacation in. \n  \nCrooked River Canyon\n  \nThough rendered in a representational way\, Anne’s Canyon paintings are a retrospective of the artist’s internal journey during the pandemic years when life changed dramatically all over the world. It was a time to take stock\, to look and feel deeply\, and to find ways to love this troubled\, exhilarating\, maddening\, gorgeous world. \n  \nGlow on the Canyon Rim\n  \nDuring the pandemic\, our homes became both refuges and prisons. The places where we used to meet friends and family and feel community were mostly shuttered to us. Here in Central Oregon trailheads leading to our favorite spots to walk\, float\, climb\, play\, and find peace were closed. Initially Anne found solace by painting favorite places she couldn’t go anymore. Working from dozens of her own source photos\, she virtually visited places like Smith Rock in her studio\, creating a series of soaring pinnacle paintings such as Golden Hour – Smith Rock. Another in this series\, October Skies – Smith Rock\, was chosen for purchase by a panel of writers\, artists\, designers\, curators\, and Multnomah County staff in the 2022 Regional Art & Culture Council’s Public Art Purchase. \n  \nThe force of Stillness\n  \nEventually\, as cabin fever built\, the people in Anne’s pandemic household cast about for new ungated places to walk and breathe. Somewhere beyond neighborhood streets. New-to-them trails up in the BLM became favorites. They returned again and again to the Crooked River\, Deschutes River\, and Whychus Creek canyons viewing the cliffs and water from the rim at dawn\, or the river-level depths when the late afternoon sun cast deep shadows or the flat light of a cold gray winter day. Each visit inspired new color palettes and compositions to Anne as she began to paint portraits of these places. \n  \n  \nThe Vortex\n  \n“Standing on a canyon rim or scrambling down rocky switchbacks\, you witness layers of history in the cliff faces formed over millennia. These many Central Oregon canyons—and there are dozens of them\, some hundreds of feet deep—were formed during the Pleistocene\, as many as 5 million years ago. Venture far enough and all trace of human intervention fades. It might leave you feeling insignificant or expansive and part of a much greater whole. But it definitely makes you feel something. These canyons open-up new worlds.”\n—Anne Gibson \n“There is a word for love of a place: topophilia\, popularized by the geographer Yi-Fu Tuan in 1974 as all of ‘the human being’s affective ties with the material environment.’ In other words\, it is the warm feelings you get from a place. It is a vivid\, emotional\, and personal experience\, and it leads to unexplainable affections.”\n– Arthur Brooks\, “Find the Place You Love. Then Move There.” 
The Atlantic\, January 14\, 2021 \nThis exhibit will run through October.

SUMMARY:Dorothy Freudenberg—Quiet Moments & Lively Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Quiet Moments & Lively Interactions\, a retrospective by photographer and digital artist Dorothy Freudenberg\, opens September 2\, from 3-7pm\, during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. Juxtaposing introspective images with expressively vibrant digital compositions\, Dorothy blends different artistic mediums by incorporating them all in her imagery. Her work transcends the graphic arts\, suggesting that music\, the written word\, and the visual arts all overlap. \n \nAn accomplished pianist Dorothy references music as inspiration for her artwork. During the opening she will be offering musical improvisations on her electric piano—the melodies are interwoven with the creation of her images. Musical improvisations support the different images presented\, or make suggestions of musical works to which one can reference. \n \nContemplative photography\, implying the seasons\, are displayed along with lively and unique digital compositions that are an expression of the artists inner world. The pieces are printed on metal and individually framed for a vivid\, lustrous presentation. \nDorothy’s images have two distinct sides—her layered digital images that use multiple photos\, textures\, and filters and are created overall using a computer program. These “Lively Conversations” are literally painted with digital tools. Dorothy’s digital media images tend to be quite colorful and vibrant with lots of detail. \n \n“Quiet Moments” are Dorothy’s contemplative images. These compositions come to her during her morning walks where a single ray of light filtering through branches\, or a blossom with out-of-focus colors from a building in the background or other plants\, become a rich expression of awareness. The commonplace and overlooked becomes magical. These moments are captured in a single photograph. \n \nDorothy Freudenberg set out to college many years ago intending to study art and literature. Four years later she came out with a degree in Piano/music. Family circumstances prevented her from pursuing her dreams in that field\, but before long her life changed once again and she emerged on a motorcycle with a camera strapped on. This would be the start of a journey where\, even though some threads got dropped\, the pursuit of art became a passion that carries through to today. Finding creativity in photography captivated her but it wasn’t until recently that the threads of visual art and music came together. As she once again is taking music seriously all of the threads have converged. This time with a creativity and freedom that wasn’t present the first time around. In this show Dorothy is expressing all these forms simultaneously and it is a joy. \nCome into the gallery and enjoy the show. Or\, shop online anytime. \n

SUMMARY:Katherine Taylor—Thinking Wild
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Wild\, opening August 5\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk\, features a new collection of Katherine Taylor’s poignant wildlife portraits. The exhibit will be up through August. \nKatherine’s oil paintings of animals are so intimate\, their spirits and personalities shine through. This exhibit includes a bobcat\, raccoon\, wild horses\, a fox\, an owl and many more…all in action and with eyes that that make you feel you can see into their reality. A “painter of light and dark”\, she succeeds in portraying their wildness and their natures by employing the dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and luminous glazing she learned from her classical art training. \n  \nKatherine Taylor paints “Wild Wild Horses” in oil\n  \nA portion of the proceeds from this show will be donated to the non-profit\, Think Wild\, a local animal hospital dedicated to providing care to injured or orphaned native animals so as to facilitate their successful release back into the wild. “I am a big fan of the work that Think Wild does in our local community; these dedicated individuals not only volunteer their time to rehabilitate native birds and mammals\, they advocate for wildlife conservation. Their hospital compound off Neff Road in Bend continues to grow to accommodate the many species they treat\, as well as to provide a venue for public educational events. I wanted my August art exhibit to help highlight the good work this group does\,” says Katherine. \nKatherine Taylor paints a wild gray wolf in oils for her August exhibit at Tumalo Art Co.\n  \nKatherine’s original love as an artist is painting the human figure. However\, wildlife portraiture has proven to be just as compelling for her. “It’s the spirit of a sentient being that I am ultimately most interested in capturing\, and animals have spirit in spades.” \nA Red Fox is Katherine Taylor’s collection of wild animal portraits\n  \nIn choosing which wildlife to paint for the show\, Katherine handpicked mammals and birds local to Oregon that best captured the spirit of the species. Only two of the animals featured\, the Kiger Mustangs and the mountain lion\, are not treated at the Think Wild hospital but are included in their Oregon wildlife conservation-education efforts. \n  \nPeregrine Falcon\, an oil by Katherine Taylor\n  \nKatherine’s initial wild animal easy picks were from the lynx genus\, the bobcat and the mountain lion. They are closely related to the domestic cat\, and being a cat caregiver herself\, she is a fan! Though she has never been granted her life-long wish to experience a red fox sighting\, painting one turned out to be the next best thing. She discovered foxes have the most fascinating eye color and came to appreciate the eyes of many of the animals she painted. “The bobcat and cougar have riveting eyes\, but so do hawks\, owls\, and falcons. And the bald eagle I captured in paint really surprised me with its pale green glitter-eye.” \nCanadian Geese in the golden light of autumn\n  \nThis quote by Anthropologist Loren Eiseley partly explains why Katherine chose to paint close-up portraits of the wild animals in her August exhibit: \n“One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human.” \nIf you come across an injured or orphaned wild animal that needs help call the Think Wild hotline at 541-241-8680. \n

SUMMARY:Adell Shetterly—P3  Press | Pull | Print
DESCRIPTION:Beaming Up above—remember Star Trek and the myriad worlds that the crew landed on and explored? They transformed into small particles to beam down or up. Perhaps this is one of the worlds they explored. \n \nBend artist\, Adell Shetterly\, has followed her own artistic path as defined in ink. Her July show at Tumalo Art Co. P3 Press | Pull | Print\, opening July 1\, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk\, features original hand-pulled prints which investigates the processes and various techniques in print. \nShe presents new work\, rich and diverse in wealth of marks\, color\, layers and lines drawing on imagery that ranges in style from abstract to deconstructed landscapes\, inspired by nature\, memories and moments of daily life. \n \nUsing her own press\, every image Adell inks on a plate is pulled by hand. The impression is transferred from the plate to paper creating a unique image. As she works Adell unlocks her imagination to the possibilities in print questioning\, “what would happen IF?” \nFor Entwined\, the past and the present are interwoven revealing the stories of a lifetime. To tell this story Adell used glue to make the circles that the dried and became a relief when run through the press. \n  \n \nAdell used hot glue stencils for Quantum Entanglement\, playing with abstract design and shapes. Initially printing the plate with light gray on cream paper she placed the stencils first\, then inked plastic wrap and ran it through the press. \nQuantum Entanglement is the physical phenomenon that occurs when a group of particles are generated\, interact\, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others. “This piece kept pulling me in\, and when the title emerged it all came together.” \n \nMagnetic field lines near sunspots often tangle\, cross\, and reorganize. This can cause a sudden explosion of energy. “I played off this idea to create a landscape strongly influenced by the sun.” \n \n  \nCome enjoy all of the art in the show—see you Friday\, July 1st and throughout the month.

SUMMARY:Danae Bennett-Miller—New Sculptures & Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Small birds\, cranes\, eagles and elk and other wild animals show up in Danae Bennett-Miller’s\nJune show\, “Spirit Found”\, opening June 3\, from 3-7 pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. The show is up through June. For this exhibit Danae has created both bronze sculpture and collage monoprints with polyurethane layers on cradled board. \nDetail of Danae Bennett-Miller’s “Grassland”\, a monoprint of a buffalo.\n  \nNature always wears the colors of the spirit.\n—Ralph Waldo Emerson \nThe animals who live with and around Danae are her inspiration. They connect to the spirit of the earth and fill her soul. A rancher who raises chicken and other farm animals\, Danae has a close relationship with her surrounding environment and is well-known for her organic\, life-filled forms of animals. To create their dynamic shapes she flows out strips of wax with ripples and texture and forms them into the shapes she is imagining for each creature. This technique gives an organic aliveness to each one. Once cast her pieces are one-of-a-kind. Augmenting her sculpture works with printmaking has given a new avenue to express form\, texture and line to all of her animals. \n“Sunburst Raven” is cast in bronze and glass by Danae Bennett-Miller.\n  \nBesides sculptures for residential and corporate placement\, Danae has had many public sculpture commissions. These include roundabout art of a horse on Greenwood Ave. in Bend\, Oregon; herons in a pocket park at the end of Minnesota Street in downtown Bend and a heron sculpture in downtown Sisters\, Oregon. The most ambitious of her public art installations is a tableau of life-size elk and pronghorn bronze sculptures with towering basalt rocks\, in the roundabout on Highway 20 in Sisters\, Oregon. \nSee more of Danae’s available sculpture and monoprints
