A fine artist, river guide, muralist, and teacher, David Kinker opens his solo show at Tumalo Art Co. during the March 7, First Friday Gallery Walk from 5-9pm.
Kinker’s March show will include many smaller plein air paintings in oil as well as “colorful explosions” of our local landscape. His work describes a deep connection with nature and water. “The wilderness experience puts me in my church as nature’s beauty repeatedly gives me gifts at the turn of each bend of the river.” Kinker is well known for his murals in many regional landmarks including the Tower Theatre. He is co-leading a wild river painting adventure on the Rogue River in June and August.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run collective gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District. Open every day. www.tumaloartco.com; 541-385-09144
