Glass artist Nancy Becker show during March at Tumalo Art Co.

Award-winning glass artist Nancy Becker is the featured artist for March at Tumalo Art Co. The show will open during the First Friday Gallery Walk March 6, 4-8pm.

As a maker of glass, Nancy’s intention is to let go of the medium in the sense of making objects and instead use it as a way to express with color in a painterly fashion. “The works in this show are my portraits of winds I have met in my short stay in the South. The winds are truly a force of elemental energy that is profound and mercurial in nature.” The vortexes that appear in her work convey the personality and movement of the tornadoes.

Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open 7 days a week. 541-385-9144; www.tumaloartco.com
