ENCORE Missing Link Comes Back to Life in High Desert Museum Exhibition Dinosaurs Take Flight bridges the span between dinosaurs and birds Which came first, the feather or the bird? Learn the answer in Dinosaurs Take Flight: The Art of Archaeopteryx, a new exhibition that opened at the High Desert Museum in October. Art meets science in this exhibition, which features more than fifty pieces of original artwork, murals, sculptures, interactive displays and a collection of fossils from the Solnhofen limestone in Germany, where Archaeopteryx lived some 150 million years ago. The name Archaeopteryx is from two Greek words meaning “ancient wing.” “Archaeopteryx has been long considered as the ‘first bird’ by paleontologists,” said the Museum’s Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. “Fossils of Archaeopteryx that were discovered in 1861 provided a critical bridge between dinosaurs and birds and have sparked the understanding of the origin of birds and flight.” Six renowned paleo-artists from around the world worked closely with scientists to create Photos courtesy of High Desert Museum stunning images of what the raven-sized dinosaur looked like. The exhibition runs through April 4, 2018. Events associated with this exhibition are scheduled for the fall including The Origin and Evolution of Feathers and Flight on November 2 at 6pm. Dr. Julia Clarke, professor and Wilson Centennial Fellow in Vertebrate Paleontology at The University of Texas at Austin, will share her research into the evolution of flight and feathers and discuss the challenges of paleontological research. Cost is $3 for members and $7 for non-members. A Night at the High Desert Museum is a family-friendly sleepover for kids ages five to 13 and their adult chaperones on November 3 and 4, from 5pm through 9am. Dinner and a light breakfast will be provided. Cost is $75 for members and $85 for non-members. On November 18, from 10:30am-12pm, young artists will use clues from fossils to learn how paleo-artists reconstruct the missing pieces of extinct animals and their environments during How Dinosaurs Came to Fly: Drawing on the Clues. Ideal for families of six- to 12-year-olds, this workshop costs $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Seating is limited, so registration and pre-payment is required. highdesertmuseum.org/calendar

From Here to Argentina: A Love Story by KRISTINA BAK

rom Here to Argentina: A Tango Love Story began with my dreaming a song I'd never heard before. It played in my memory when I forgot the dream itself. "Odd," I thought. "Who would sing a song like that?" Fictional characters, in my writing experience, show up fully formed and my happy task is to explore what they present to me. The character, Mikhail, stepped out of my imagination into view as the song's singer. It occurred to me that "meeting" Mikhail was much like going to my first tango classes, embracing my partners in tango's intimacy before I knew anything else about them, certainly not the depths of their pasts or their aspirations, beyond learning the complex dance. I set myself the challenge of throwing five equal protagonists together in a tango class in my short novel. Juniper, Dan, Esteban and Rosalie joined Mikhail, the music

LITERARY

began, and we were on our way. “Tango is a dance of passion, but not that kind of passion, or, at least not on the dance floor.” Esteban’s tango students –– exquisite Rosalie, flamboyant Juniper,arrogant Mikhail,and deceptively mild-mannered Dan –– each carry heavy secrets from their pasts when they meet in Absolute Beginners class. Everyone is in search of happy endings, but one person’s dream is another’s catastrophe. They can’t all come true. Esteban (well, Jason, actually) is broke and stuck sleeping in his car. He’s desperate to persuade the whole class to sign on for his tango tour to Buenos Aires. He’s sure there his online love for tango maestra Aurelia will bloom faceto-face. He has no idea what his students are up to outside class. From Here to Argentina: A Tango Love Story can be found on amazon.com. www.kristinabak.com

Trust Within — Letting Intuition Lead

uthor, licensed therapist and public speaker, Molly Carroll is pleased to announce the publication of Trust Within, Letting Intuition Lead published by Grand Harbor Press, an imprint of Amazon. The book is available on Amazon.com. In her latest book, Carroll researches and writes about the tools and techniques on how to listen and follow this illusive and yet powerful gift called intuition. The book consists of stories about interesting people when they followed and did not follow their intuition. It also shares the importance of how intuition is not only an internal experience but also a very external experience. “Writing a book on intuition was a journey for myself and learning from others who have learned to trust themselves and live a more authentic life,” said Carroll. “I can’t wait to share with others these

amazing stories and hope that readers will learn how to hear their inner voice and take action to follow that voice.” “In an age of sound bites and prescriptive steps to answers which leave us lonely and lost...Molly Carroll calls us back, into something that is as ageless as it is innate: our intuition. This book read itself while I hung on, and remembered, and found home again in what I forgot I already knew.” In Trust Within, Carroll explores the fascinating, multifaceted and mysterious nature of intuition and the ways it can be harnessed to inspire better life decisions. Carroll encourages readers to access their own instincts through creative tools and techniques. Molly Carroll, MA, LPC a licensed therapist, educator, writer, artist and loving mom of two holds a masters degree in counseling psychology from

Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. She is an expert in her field with over twenty years of experience in education and mental health. In addition to Trust Within, Letting Intuition Lead, Molly has written and published, Cracking Open, a creative journal about self-discovery and transformation.

You Stole My Name by DENNIS MCGREGOR

bout three years ago Dennis McGregor painted a picture of a turtle climbing on a barbed wire fence. He added a bird and then realized the bird he had painted was a Turtle Dove. He was fairly amused that he painted a turtle and a dove and the dove was a Turtle Dove. He figured what the heck and painted a bull and a frog next. Bull Frog. Other folks were amused as well and without fail had suggestions of their own, like tiger shark, horse fly and so on. Some people strayed from the concept with ideas like “skunk cabbage” and “lightning bug.” One guy even advocated for tools like “monkey wrench” but McGregor insisted that the series be about two animals. Twenty paintings later his determination paid off with a series that has become an engaging picture book. The illustrations are accompanied by delightfully clever verses. “Yes, it’s a children’s book,” Dennis explains, “but it is also an art book for all ages.” The creative work is done and the 32-page hardcover book is ready for print, as soon as it gets crowd-funded through Kickstarter. The campaign will run through the month of November and every page of You Stole My Name can be enjoyed at Kickstarter/DennisMcGregor. Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | November 2017

Beatles vs. Stones Tribute Show Returns to Bend Stage

he debate between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 53 years ago. The argument at the time, and one that still persists, was that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? These two legendary bands will engage in an on-stage, throw down — a musical 'showdown' if you will — on November 5 at Tower Theatre courtesy of tribute bands Abbey Road and Satisfaction — The International Rolling Stones Show. Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the country's top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles' career. They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Satisfaction - The International Rolling Stones Show, who offer a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the bad boys of the British Invasion. Where did the idea for the show come from? “Music fans never had a chance to see the Beatles and the Rolling Stones perform on the same marquee,” said Chris Legrand, who plays Mick Jagger in the show. “Now, music aficionados can watch this

The production includes some of the more popular songs from the two rock pioneers and covers the scope of their musical careers, although the set list for Satisfaction usually includes Rolling Stones songs up to the 1980s. "They certainly have more pop songs but we're a really great live show. The fans are in for an incredible night of music!" says LeGrand. During the two-hour show, the bands perform three sets each, trading places in quick set changes and ending the night with an all-out encore involving both bands.

There’s a lot of good-natured jabbing between the bands as well. “Without Beatlemania, the Stones might still be a cover band in London,” said Chris Overall, who plays Paul. “There’s no question that the Beatles set the standard.” The audience naturally enjoys top shelf tributes to two legendary bands in the same evening. Like The Idaho Statesman said, "If you see only one tribute show, see this one...smart and loads of fun." It’s just a fun time and a cool back-and-forth nonstop show,” Overall said. “We’re going to bring it all. It’s going to be an evening of high-energy music,” said Legrand. The Beatles vs. Stones Tribute Show played to a sold out audience at the Tower in 2015 and Abbey Road's In My Life - A Musical Theatre Tribute to the Beatles has played to sold out audiences several times at the Tower as well.

Redmond Proﬁciency Academy Theatre Presents Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl

he Redmond Proficiency Academy (RPA) opened the 2017-18 theater season with a production of Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl in October and will continue its run November 2-4, with all shows starting at 7pm at RPA’s theatre in downtown Redmond. “Working on Eurydice has been an incredibly fun experience,” said RPA sophomore Izzy King. “It has pushed me and made me better as an actor and a person.” The tale of Orpheus and Eurydice has been known for centuries, but Ruhl’s play is a fresh look at the ancient love story. Full of dark humor, lyrical beauty and wit, Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice transforms a traditional myth into a visceral, contemporary meditation on love worth grieving for.

FILM & THEATRE

“Ruhl’s Eurydice is one my favorite plays. The story is both thick with grief and light with love,” said RPA Theatre Director Kate Torcom. “It has been a joy to watch our students tackle this beautiful tale.” Due to the unique nature of the performance space, RPA highly recommends that audience members acquire tickets prior to attending the show. Tickets can be purchased at rpatheatre.ticketleap.com. Limited tickets will be available at the door. General admission is $5 and student admission is $2. “It’s not your classic high school auditorium; it’s an exposed brick, black box theater that’s reminiscent of professional playhouses in Chicago,” said Torcom of the McClay Center for the Performing Arts, located in RPA’s Evergreen Building at 640 SW Evergreen Avenue in downtown Redmond. November 2-4, 7pm at McClay Center for the Performing Arts, 640 SW Evergreen Avenue, Redmond. www.rpacademy.org

To Tell the Truth Returns on Thanksgiving Weekend

o Tell the Truth, the popular storytelling show that debuted last year, will return on Friday and Saturday, November 24 and 25 with an all new program of true life monologues performed by local performers. As they have done in the past, the mysterious and secretive impresarios, Two Twisted Sisters, will produce this all-new collection of first person narratives. While the Sisters refuse to be interviewed in person, they have chosen producers Howard Schor and Dan Cohen to speak on their behalf and to execute their instructions for the program. “We ordered those two clowns to scour the Bend environs and bring us the most amusing and engaging stories.” When asked why they selected Thanksgiving weekend for their latest show the older Sister remarked, “After people gorge themselves on turkey and trimmings they don’t know what to do with themselves.” “Even worse,” the younger Sister chimed in, “they don’t know what to do with relatives and other company who insist on staying the whole weekend. So this is a good way to get ‘em out of the house for a couple hours.” As they did last year, the Sisters are assembling a program that will include a mix of local media personalities and newcomers to the storytelling scene. And instead of a one night show, this year's program will be held on two nights, at Bend’s renowned 2nd Street Theater. The theme for this year's show will be The Past Never Dies. Performers will be encouraged to plumb their souls for stories both mirthful and mournful and to keep them under ten minutes. Once again, the same rules for last year's shows will apply: storytellers will be required to tell true stories without the benefit of notes, visual aids or their friends prompting them from the audience. “It’s a series of solitary human beings spilling their guts to a gaggle of strangers,” said the younger Sister. “We may bring them on with a musical intro, but that’s all the help they’re going to get!” In addition to the storytellers, special guest Stephanie Crespo will be on hand to enliven the proceedings with a couple of songs. Tickets will be available through 2nd Street Theater. Showtime will be 7:30pm on both Friday and Saturday. Because there’s no way to insure the content of stories, parents are cautioned to leave small children at home... or to face embarrassing questions for which the Sisters refuse to take responsibility.

CERAMICS

COVER FEATURE

A Multitude of Pleasures by JANET MATSON

ildfire Ceramic Showcase offers its visitors a variety of pleasures, from purely decorative to beautifully functional, from sculpture for pondering to pieces begging for everyday use, from historical to contemporary, from smooth and silky to rough and textural and much more. What makes ceramics so unique and appealing to everyone? The answer is different for each individual. Ceramics can be wood fired, electric fired, gas fired, Raku fired, thrown on a wheel, hand built, made with a mold, sculpted, carved, painted, waxed, pinched — the variety is endless, only limited by the artist’s imagination. Some people like the idea that each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind. Others admire the hours of work involved in decorating an elaborate piece of pottery. All art from clay is three dimensional. In sculpture clay is shaped into animals, human forms, plants, buildings and limitless ideas from an artist’s mind to express the world and beyond. Usually ceramic art is less expensive than other types of artwork and most everyone can afford a bowl or mug. Wheel-thrown items are made quicker than hand built forms. It’s mind boggling to think about the longevity of ceramics. Who knows? The cup you are using today could be an artifact in a history museum a thousand years from now! Some folks look for the mark of the fire curling around a wood fired vessel, while others appreciate the far away cultures that ceramics connects us with. Many people want to contemplate the high temperatures of over 2,000 degrees that pottery endures in the kiln to become vitrified and safe for our use with food. The hot temperatures produce amazing glazed colors and textures from ordinary earthly materials. Join Central Oregon ceramic artists at Wildfire Showcase, the guild’s annual show and sale at Westside Magnet School (Kingston Elementary) on November 4 and 5. The event is on Saturday from 10am-5pm and Sunday from 10am-4pm. Discover the passion of all things clay and your reason for appreciating ceramic works of art. The 13th Annual Show and Sale features more than 25 premier ceramic artists and offers clay demonstrations throughout each day, a children's area with clay activities for kids and free raffles for $25 towards pottery purchase on both Saturday and Sunday. Free admission and parking, Westside Village Magnet School at Kingston Elementary 1101 NW 12th St., Bend. Wildfire is sponsored by The Clay Guild of The Cascades. clayguildofthecascades.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | November 2017

Introducing At Liberty Arts Collaborative

Downtown Historic Theater Returns to Arts & Culture Roots in Bend

he Liberty Theater, located in downtown Bend, is celebrating its 100th anniversary by announcing a return to its dignified roots with the opening of At Liberty, a year-round dedicated arts space and cultural hub in Downtown Bend. At Liberty will host art exhibitions, serve as an event venue, have a small retail component and be the home to some of Bend’s most exciting creative nonprofits: the Arts and Cultural Alliance, ScaleHouse and World Muse. Harkening back to the Liberty Theater’s original tagline “Where We All Go,” At Liberty aims to be just that, a beautiful and creative space that fosters community, art and curiosity. The prominent yellow stucco building in the heart of downtown Bend has a colorful past. Originally built as a vaudeville theater in 1917, the theater has experienced waves of transformation over the years as a silent movie theatre, a traditional movie theatre, a real estate office and a television store. After sitting empty for nearly a decade, the Liberty Theater has recently been used as an occasional event space for the local community, serving as the hub for the BendFilm Festival and other events. Co-founders, Jenny Green, René Mitchell and Kaari Vaughn saw the building's untapped potential and dreamed of creating a permanent home and gathering space for Bend’s evolving arts and culture scene. Co-founder, Kaari Vaughn says, “At Liberty will continue to host community events as well as regular exhibitions providing a space for artists, art lovers and art organizations to come together.” With its elegant architecture, flexible configurations and premier downtown location, At Liberty is a unique venue for a festival kick-off party, a small board meeting or a memorable dinner party. Its vast space, filled with large empty walls provides the perfect backdrop for art exhibitions. Co-founder, Jenny Green adds, “At Liberty is dedicated to providing a dynamic and inspiring space for the exploration of arts and culture. We are excited to offer this unique and versatile setting for a variety of events.” Local nonprofits, Arts and Cultural Alliance, ScaleHouse and World Muse will now have office space in At Liberty providing a collaborative work space. Co-founder, René Mitchell says, “Many thriving nonprofits struggle to find an affordable office space to expand their presence. Part of At Liberty’s mission is to provide a home for these organizations to collaborate, grow and expand.” In October, At Liberty events included BendFilm Festival Hub, Bend Venture Conference, Bend Design presented by ScaleHouse and Evening with Edgar Allen Poe presented by Deschutes Historical Society. Upcoming events are Little Stone Project (November 3-5), Land, Light and Life: High Desert Museum's Contemporary Art Exhibit (November-December) and the At Liberty Grand Opening is scheduled for November 10. At Liberty, located in Bend’s historic Liberty Theatre, provides an inspiring and dynamic space for the exploration of arts and culture, through exhibitions, collaborations and events. www.atlibertyarts.com

Kate Aspen: Red Necklace Series

by DAVID CLEWETT AE Feature Writer Hundreds of years of history come together on a single necklace with each artifact representing a place and moment in history. The historical artifacts are brought together by jewelry artist Kate Aspen and each piece is carefully selected to tell a specific story. Aspen’s Red Necklace Series are necklaces comprised of several one-of-a-kind historical artifacts affixed to a red beaded necklace where every item is authentic to the period. Aspen has been in business operating Cowgirls and Indians in Sisters for nearly 15 years and she has been making jewelry for over 30 years. Running her own business has presented a challenge to Aspen in that she does not have the time to focus her creative energy toward all of her artistic talents. Therefore she chose to channel her artistic ability into making jewelry. “I’ve been an artist ever since I can remember. I always had my sketchpad around. Growing up I only wanted to be an artist. I should have been an art teacher. My folks told me I couldn’t make a living doing that so I went along and did my own thing,” Aspen said. Aspen started making jewelry by designing simple pieces using beadwork and earrings. Now her extravagant necklaces are on display in her gallery and featured prominently at auctions. Fitting for the name of her shop, Aspen’s Red Necklace Series are wearable pieces of history featuring authentic vintage pieces and adornments from the old west. She scours antique shops and the internet for the perfect historical artifacts to Photo by Ryder Redﬁeld 18 November 2017 | www.CascadeAE.com

Sterling Echoes ~ Denise Harrison by DAVID CLEWETT AE Feature Writer

enise Harrison, founder of Sterling Echoes, creates memorable sterling silver jewelry that begins with the inspiration of a photograph, drawing or an empty glass of beer. Harrison’s jewelry captures memories, either her own or her customers, in a piece of jewelry. That favorite photo, a memorable piece of architecture, finger prints and even pets can be captured forever in a wearable piece of art. “For me, the fun is not in just the event, but the memories to look back upon. Reminding me of the event, the place or the people I was with. Sterling Echoes gives me the opportunity to solidify my memories, or those of my customers, into my work,” Harrison said. In creating her unique custom jewelry Harrison has developed a multi-step process for transferring memories to jewelry. “My work begins with a photograph of someplace or something I find interesting. This can be a building, a tree or even my empty pint glass. The photo is modified and etched into copper which is used to texture wax pieces that are cast into sterling and gold,” Harrison said. When Harrison selects a subject for a piece of jewelry the meaning behind the photo and the story it tells is most important. “Technically speaking, images with a fair amount of contrast and texture make my job easier. In order to etch an image, I have to convert it to just black and white. That is why my beer photographs are so much fun. There is a dark background with a light foreground and amazing organic textures,” Harrison said. For Harrison, accurately capturing a person’s memories on a piece of jewelry is a responsibility she takes very seriously. “I have at least ninety images that I have etched in my collection so I am pretty good at judging a photo as soon as I see it. If it is a custom order, I explain to my customer what composition makes for the best outcome and often they will provide me with several photos to choose from. I work closely with my customers

complement each of her unique necklaces. No expense is spared to find the perfect centerpiece for a necklace. “As far as design goes my vision always comes back to vintage one-of-a-kind artifacts that tell a story. I like history so I incorporate those artifacts into my Red Necklace Series. Once I have an idea I search high and low for those artifacts that will go into my next piece,” Aspen said. Aspen’s jewelry has sold in museums and galleries and recently her Artic Transformation necklace sold in a CM Russell Auction. The necklace featured 100-year-old trade beads, fossilized walrus ivory, old fishing weights, a pre1920s pendant and had a length of 31 inches. Aspen’s Red Necklace Series uses 1880's trade beads, Navajo silver, Fred Harvey Era silver and various authentic artifacts from the era. There are over 2,400 beads in each necklace. Each piece on one of her necklaces represents a time and place in history. It is difficult not to wonder of the stories of trade and bartering with each of the beads, who might have originally made the artifacts

ARTS

during each step of the process before I cast the final pieces so they can make changes at any point along the way,” Harrison said. Family history, personal connections and documenting memories continuously inspire Harrison to create her jewelry. Following the passing of her grandmother, Harrison created a bangle bracelet with family member’s fingerprints as a gift to her daughter to remember the people whose fingerprints were on the bracelet. Shortly after, her friend returned from the Grand Canyon and asked Harrison to create something special to document the trip. Harrison made four medallions from their personal images and added a handmade chain. “These two experiences strengthened my belief of the importance of connections and relationships and our personal stories. I realized documenting these stories in jewelry was something I wanted to do full time,” Harrison said. True to her commitment to personal connections and family, a portion of Harrison’s jewelry sales go to charity. Her Aloha Series sales benefit Alzheimer’s in honor of her stepfather who was diagnosed with the disease. Whether the jewelry captures memories of a magical place in time or a memory of a loved one Harrison’s passion keeps each alive and well in a wearable piece of art and history. “I create pieces that my customers are drawn to because they have had similar experiences or have traveled to similar locations. A piece may not be an exact replica of the photograph, but evokes the feeling of the moment which makes an impact on us,” Harrison said. A sampling of Harrison’s work is available at The Workhouse in Bend and is available by appointment at her studio in Torch Jewelry Collective. Her jewelry can be purchased on Etsy at www.sterlingechoes.etsy.com and viewed at her website sterlingechoes.com, denise@sterlingechoes.com

and how history has led each piece to one of Aspen’s historical necklaces. “When I finish a piece I can feel it in my head and my heart. I know when I should stop tearing it apart and starting over again. It’s a piece of history all hung on a necklace. They all tell a story and you can talk about where those pieces have been, who has held them and the conversations around each piece. They are artifacts from a period in time hung together as a piece of history,” Aspen said. Many of Aspen’s Red Necklaces have a tribal look. The beads she uses were made in Czechoslovakia between 1860 and 1900 and were traded to Native Americans in the old west. One of her recent necklaces called The Santa Fe Express used Navajo Silver, Fred Harvey Era Silver and Red Trade Beads combined with Navajo bells. “Art is my heart and the Red Necklace Series keeps it ticking,” Aspen said. Aspen can be reached at kaspen@aceweb.com or 541-549-6950 and her necklaces can be found at Cowgirls and Indians in Sisters. Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | November 2017 19

spire her art. From this high desert vista, the artist notes her recent attraction to the “haunting beauty of nocturnes… those twilight and later hour images when the setting sun or moon glow further illumines the beauty of the uncluttered west.” Her exhibit paintings Desert Nocturne, oil on canvas by Janice Druian feature these dramatic nocturnes. Druian’s award winning, expressionistic oils recently appeared at the invitation only, prestigious exhibit of the esteemed Arizona Mountain Oyster Club, noted to display “the finest in Western art…” She also participated in the juried competitions Yosemite Renaissance at the Yosemite National Park Museum and Cowgirl Up, the Other Half of the West, at the Desert Caballeros Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona. Karen Bandy, an artist since childhood, studied at the University of Oregon exploring drawing, painting, sculpture and design. Then in Portland, she created a successful career in jewelry design, continued upon her 1987 move to Bend where she also began a second career in painting. Bandy’s current show of acrylic paintings reflects her progression from whimsical renderings of the high desert wildlife to her current exploration of expressionism. Her exhibit at Franklin Crossing features expressionistic imagery such as Soul Attraction, a depiction of recognizable human forms walking across a vast blue expanse defined as water, as well as abstract imagery, paintings without recognizable forms rendered in bright, complimentary hues.

Alleda Real Estate 25 NW Minnesota Ave., Ste. 1, www.alledarealestate.com Featuring photographers Dave Kamperman and Joel Bailie. Kamperman states, "At its core, my passion for landscape photography stems from a deep desire to represent any subject in the most attractive and accurate way possible. I believe that it is very hard to improve on the designs the creator has formulated. In addition, I believe these designs deserve to be preserved for future generations to enjoy and study. The power of a photo is in reflecting the truest nature of its subject. My greatest privilege is to capture that precise moment that simply does not need to be enhanced. "For the last ten years I have also been creating unique custom frames starting with a rough-cut piece of solid hardwood. No two frames are exactly alike, even if they may come from the same board. It is always exciting for me to see exactly what the wood has to reveal when it is combined with the appropriate matting and image. For this reason I am enjoying the matting and framing aspect of my art — almost — as much as the photography itself." www.davekampermanphotography. com, www.davekampermanphotography.smugmug.com. Joel Bailie’s interest in photography was sparked in the early 1980s by the works of Ansel Adams and other well-known landscape photographers that followed him. Joel has always enjoyed photographing landscapes, and has recently found a special interest in studio lighting, which he often shoots in black and white. A few of his favorite subjects are sunsets, flowing water and flowers. Joel is a member of the Cascade Camera Club and has previously shown works at City Walls sponsored by the City of Bend, the Family Resource Center, as well as First Join us during the Friday events.

Full of saturated color and abstract spaces, Emer-

son's empty circus rings and shadowy interiors of the big top have a haunting quality, as though the performers have just exited for the final time. The few scenes still inhabited by show horses, lions and elephants feel almost like a mirage. Her series of acrobats, reduced to simplistic cut out shapes, feel like a visual memory of the danger and risk taking that were permitted under the big top. Using innovative combinations of pastel and monotype, Emerson captures a time, place and feeling that lives on Sawdust and Peanut Shells by Dawn Emerson in our imagination. Bend Art Center will offer several circus-themed community art classes, talks and school programs in connection with the Cirque d' Art exhibit. Emerson will share her creative pastel and monotype techniques in a workshop November 4-5.

Her mom grew up in Alaska and studied under Rusty Heurlin, Alaska’s longest-tenured resident painter. Although her mom died when she was 11, Cheryl’s love of creating continued. Living in Central Oregon during the last four First Street Rapids by years, painting has become her outlet for creating. She finds the Cheryl Buchanan vast and beautiful country truly inspiring. Michelle says she is selftaught but she has studied figure drawing, figure sculpture, facial expressions, watercolor and color theory. In addition she took classes in Chinese Brush Painting and studied four years to learn the technique. Although a look at Michelle’s work reveals she is an accomplished artist, she says her learning efforts never stop, “You continue to grow in art; it is a way of life, and a wonderful trip.” Jeﬀrey Murray Photography 118 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-325-6225, www.jeffreymurrayphotography.com Features American landscape and fine art images captured by Bend nature photographer, Jeffrey Murray.

Busik will attend the champagne opening on First Friday, November 3, from Huddled by Rick Graham 5:30-7:30pm. Busik’s whimsical, intricately patterned paintings celebrate her Latina heritage. Learning in her forties of her background, she sought to connect to those roots through the surrealistic images and brilliant color of magical realism, present in traditional Mexican Folk Art. The artist painstakingly taught herself the complexity of the folk art’s design and color. Present in her current paintings, the process yielded a fearless painter, contently connected to her past. She recently added new images to her symbolic paintings including a young Latina with a bird perched atop her head and mystical renderings of juniper and ponderosa pine trees, lighted by full moons. The trees are from childhood memories of her backyard in Sisters; she fondly recalls the dramatic shadow of a giant ponderosa pine against the evening sky.

Sacred Art at Good Grief Guidance 33 NW Louisiana Ave., 541-647-7915, www.goodgriefguidance.com Grief is the universal language.

The brave graduates of the Good Grief program, including teens and adults from the community as well as men from the Deer Ridge Correctional Facility in Spirit Horse by Candace Kerber Madras, have volunteered to share their newfound beauty of well-being with the larger community of Bend. We offer a visual representation of the transformation of grief through the offerings at Good Grief Guidance.

SUNRIVER

Sunriver Artists' Gallery

Party with the Artists

ireplaces provide a warm, cozy place to escape the crisp November air, but if ever there was a reason to leave the comforts of home, it would be to visit the artists at the Sunriver Artists' Gallery for a little party on November 11 from 4-5pm. Artists will be serving up not only beautiful art, but snacks and drinks. This month's featured artists are more than worth the short trip to the gallery. Jewelry artist Karla Proud moved to Oregon in 2005, partly to ‘romance’ the Oregon State gemstone, Sunstone. After her arrival she discovered that Oregon is rich in gems! The artist found that there are other unique and beautiful Oregon gemstones to play with. One gem that she is particularly fond of is Owyhee Blue Opal. This is a natural opal and sometimes referred to as ‘common opal’ as it has no play of other colors in the gem….just a pure beautiful shade of blue. The stone is somewhat translucent and takes a great polish finish. It is found on private ranchland in the Southeast corner of Oregon near the Owyhee River. The blue is especially beautiful set into sterling silver finished jewels. You will find in Artists’ Gallery a selection of Oregon Fire Opal from the Juniper Ridge mine, east of Lakeview. This gem is found in a color variety from pale yellows to oranges to reds. Proud actually mined this material and had it cut into faceted gemstones and beads. The perfect colors for fall. Also featured this month is gallery newcomer Mary Moore. Moore, a figurative ceramicist, is

a wonderful addition to the eclectic mix at the gallery. The artist's whimsical clay figures will steal your heart when you pass by her display. Figures range in size from six inches to two feet, with each piece fired in a manner that accommodates her use of different types of clay. Often the pieces are fired with an underglaze and then embellished with acrylic paints. Each piece is designed using a technique call “Sgraffito” in which a partial surface of the underglaze is removed in a pattern before firing. Moore's smallest pieces are playfully named Mud Babies. They are similar to gargoyles, each one holding and protecting something of value. The artist's series of Whispers figures is influenced by Native American images. The faces are emerging from the rock, representing new ideas coming to light. The largest figures explore different aspects of human nature. These pieces can reflect a different period in time and a sense of whimsy and grace.

SUNRIVER

Winter in the High Desert with Members of the High Desert Art League

etty Gray Gallery presents Autumn in the High Desert, paintings by Daniel Florea and Pat Oertley continuing through November 13. Opening on November 17 is an exhibition of artwork by High Desert Art League (HDAL) members for the Thanksgiving holiday, continuing through the annual Traditions celebration of December into the New Year. Autumn in the High Desert shows acrylic paintings by Daniel Florea featuring Central Oregon scenes. Florea’s art career began with his early 70's move to Bend and employment as art director of the North Pacific toy company owned by the Cleveland family. He notes that Norma Cleveland introduced his art to Betty Gray, co-developer of Sunriver Resort with husband John Gray, and Donald McCallum. Mrs. Gray invited Florea to show at the resort, his first solo exhibition and beginning of his art career. His current Sunriver exhibition marks his return to the Sunriver Lodge Gallery, now the Betty Gray Gallery. Pat Oertley exhibits her abstract, multicolored, layered, mixed-media paintings embellished with brightly colored strips cut from her prints. The artist notes the joy of this “making marks and finding layers.” Oertley’s previous exhibitions suggested the colorful Look for Me –– Ligurian Sea, acrylic with mixed-media by Dee McBrien-Lee kilims of Asia; abstracted photographic compositions Call Me Buff, pastel on created from close-up shots in auto wrecking yards; paper by Vivian Olsen and, her Jazz Series, paying homage to jazz greats such as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. Her art reflects a bachelor of arts in fine art from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame and her masters in art from Columbia University. November 17 opens the exhibition of eight Central Oregon members of the High Desert Art League showing varied mediums. The show includes the coordinator, Vivian Olson, as well as HDAL members Helen Brown, David Kinker, Jean Lubin, Dee McBrier-Lee, Jacqueline Newbold, Janice Rhodes, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller. Helen Brown displays her watercolor on rice paper batik landscapes depicting scenes from the Pacific Northwest. She presents a mountain vista with a prodigious field of Fireweed as well as a peaceful creek bed on a wooded hillside. Abstract artist Dee McBrien-Lee uses an acrylic medium infused with textures and colors of a variety of mixed-media. The paintings offer glimpses into the artist's mind, but also invite the viewer to imagine their own story and conclusions. Vivian Olsen creates expressive oil portraits of a variety of wild animals, from wolves and bison to owls and ravens. Her watercolor and pastel paintings reflect her special bond with animals seen in each wildlife subject. Other Ablaze, watercolor on rice paper by Helen Brown HDAL members' works will be on display in the Winter in the High Desert exhibition continuing through February 2018.

Behind the Scenes: Sunriver Music Festival’s Year-Round Youth Educational Programs Thrive

hile Sunriver’s Great Hall is silent now that the Sunriver Music Festival’s summer concerts have passed for this year, music continues in the halls of area schools thanks to the Festival’s commitment to youth education in South Deschutes County. Nurturing the next generation of artistic talent has been a commitment of the Sunriver Music Festival ever since its birth forty years ago. This focus is alive and well because of two ongoing programs. THE YOUNG ARTISTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM — During its 22-year history, the Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship program has awarded nearly $475,000 in scholarships to 142 Central Oregon classical music students pursuing advanced studies. IN-SCHOOL YOUTH PROGRAMS — Sunriver and La Pine schools both enjoy art and music education thanks in part to a Sunriver Music Festival’s partnership. At Sunriver's Three Rivers School, in addition to elective band and choir and guitar classes, every student has music classes as part of their regular curriculum, taught by Rebekka Nores. The Festival has help purchase and maintain instruments and accessories, band chairs, printed music and much more, with the help of grants from Sunriver Women's Club, Sunriver Rotary, Bank of the Cascades and others. After School Orchestra is the newest way the Festival is sharing music with Sunriver youth. AJ Jimenez is introducing 12-20 kids, mostly forth and fifth graders, to violin, viola and cello. These kids, most who’ve never played an instrument before, learn the basics of music reading and technique, and

have multiple performances throughout the school year. In addition to programs at Three Rivers, the Festival also supports numerous La Pine Middle and High School programs. • La Pine Middle and High School Bands: Taught by Michael Chavarin, the band program has grown to ninety students and includes students from sixth to 12th grade. Over the past three years, the Festival has assisted with band instrument purchases and repairs, band chairs, music stands, print music, instructional keyboards and matching band t-shirts for performances. • Artists in Residence: Art classes have welcomed professionals in photography, printmaking, papermaking and more, leading special multiweek residences and after-school clubs. • La Pine Guitar Club: David Miller, a longtime working musician and educator, has taken this after-school class from theory to reality. Now the club offers beginner and advanced classes and continues even through summer. • Drama Programs: In 2017, La Pine Performing Arts achieved a milestone in presenting their first full-length musical in years. The Little Mermaid performed a sold-out weekend and introduced this drama program to the greater community. • La Pine Middle and High School Choir: Michael Chavarin has developed multiple successful choirs at La Pine Schools, including an advanced jazz choir for upper grade students. The choirs recently purchased new robes and are able to continue expanding their music library. sunrivermusic.org/about/education-scholarships

Pescatore

Boar Tenderloin

Master of Taste & Texture

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop f you haven’t tried Chops, you’re missing out. For starters, the Sisters restaurant, which features live entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, is downright beautiful, with its high ceiling, rustic beams and posts, and woodburning, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. Even better, the food lives up to its surroundings in a monster way. Every dish we tried showcased Chef Grant Dixson’s masterful hand when it comes not only to taste but to texture. My food posse and I started out with a round of first-rate craft cocktails, hot bread studded with caraway seeds and served with roasted garlic, thyme and shallot butter, and one of the best scallop dishes we can remember. Wrapped in bacon, the scallops were beautifully seared and still creamy inside. Crispy meets satiny and salt meets sweet brininess, topped with a lick-the-plate citrus, vermouth butter sauce. Next we moved to the silky,house-smoked steelhead. Piled on a toast point with the accompanying cranberry and serrano chile remoulade and you not only got the chef ’s signature play of textures, but a subtle note of back-end heat that would be re-echoed throughout the meal. That suggestion of spiciness perfectly countered the sweetness in the scratch-made butternut squash soup. The Autumn salad, with fennel, pecans, apple, gold raisins in a tart sage and oregano brown butter vinaigrette was just as good. We all remarked that during Happy Hour, one of the best salads I’ve had in any restaurant can be topped with the steelhead for just $7. All too often, entrées don’t live up to an eatery’s creative starters. That was definitely not the case here. The Pescatore, billed as bouillabaisse but more of a cioppino, featured enormous, head-on shrimp, diver scallops, mussels, clams and calamari—all as tender as

Rack of Lamb

can be—in a pernod-laced, ever-so-slightly piquant tomato sauce. As flavorsome as this seafood stew was, the entrées just got better from there. The melt-in-your-mouth, farm-raised boar tenderloin tasted like a cross of pork and beef. “This is my new favorite,” said Leah, who’s not a particular pork fan. The meat’s brandy-and-cider glaze along with the accompanying yams, sautéed asparagus and thin slices of persimmon provided the perfect foil to the boar. The delectable Anderson Ranches rack of lamb was served medium rare with a nut and red pepperbased Romesco sauce, sautéed beech mushrooms and tomato, and a crispy, rich risotto cake. Yum. I was already imagining ordering the duck breast—which I knew would feature crackling skin and succulent meat—upon my return when dessert hit. And that sealed the deal. All three showcased that now-familiar, scrumptious composition of taste and texture. The decadent chocolate mousse was layered with roasted strawberries, chocolate crumble made from almost caramelized sugar mixed with sixty percent dark chocolate and an espresso sabayon. A tang of citrus imparted freshness to the rich key lime and avocado

cheesecake, while a pecan crust added a nutty crunch. The number one hit on the dessert parade, however, had to be the warm fig bread pudding served with caramel sauce and rum-raisin ice cream. Serious wow! I wish I had some right now. “We are dedicated to making Chops one of the best restaurants in the area,” owners Tracy Syavovitz and Chef Grant Dixson write on their website. I would say they’ve absolutely succeeded. Chops 370 E Cascade Ave., Sisters 541-549-6015, chopsbistro.com Hours: Open Daily Happy Hour: 3-5pm, dinner: 5pm-close

Passing the Baton

MUSIC & FESTIVALS

New Artistic Director of Central Oregon Mastersingers Christian Clark

t’s quite fitting that Central Oregon Mastersingers' (COM) first concert of the season under the baton of new Artistic Director Christian Clark will focus on the works of contemporary choral composers such as Eric Whitacre, Jonathan Dove, Will Todd and Daniel Elder. Each selection explores the concept of “light” and representations of new beginnings as well as endings; morning light, sunlight, twilight, evening light, starlight, moonlight; light shining like a diamond, a new dawn, a new age. Collectively these young, passionate, inspired composers represent the new era of choral music… and Christian Clark is their contemporary. So it goes as the baton is passed from one generation to the next. By not only figuratively but literally passing the baton to Clark (who was hand-picked to succeed him) retiring COM Artistic Director Emeritus Clyde Thompson has assured that COM’s tradition of presenting stunning works of choral music with excellence will continue well into the future. According to COM President of the Board Jeff White, “Christian Clark brings a friendly, approachable demeanor that exudes an infectious passion for choral music to the Artistic Director position, along with a perfect blend of high artistic standards, dynamic podium skills and a wide-ranging repertoire. We are thrilled to have Clark lead COM as we begin our next exciting chapter of exquisite choral music performance. We think he is absolutely the right person to build on Artistic Director Emeritus Clyde Thompson’s impressive legacy.” Clark’s extensive resume includes multiple stints as musical director, music conductor and associate or assistant musical director with such venerable musical organizations as Sam Houston Opera (La Bohéme, La Traviata and The Tales of Hoﬀman), Houston Masterworks Chorus (where he prepared choirs for and performed with the Houston Ballet and Orchestra), SHSU Concert Choir and Chorale and Holy Cross Lutheran Church plus additional rewarding work with multiple award-winning community and school choirs. Not only highly accomplished as a choral conductor, Clark excels as a tenor soloist. He has performed internationally as a soloist singing works of Mozart and Mendelssohn, among others. Favorite operatic roles include Ferrando in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Nemorino in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore and Tamino in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. In Texas (while earning degrees in vocal performance plus a masters in choral conducting) Clark performed as a soloist with Sam Houston State University Chorale and Symphonic Choir plus Houston Masterworks Chorus in works including Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, Beethoven’s Mass in C and Choral Fantasy, Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass and Mass in Time of War, Bach’s Cantata No. 140, Dubois’s The Seven Last Words of Christ and Mozart’s Requiem. Clark is currently serving as choir director at Nativity Lutheran Church in Bend, and is a founding member of Bend Camerata. He will be conducting Bend’s Cascade Chorale for winter and spring terms 2018 while CC Artistic Director James Knox is on sabbatical. And if all that isn’t enough he will be singing the ethereal O Holy Night tenor solo for Cascade Chorale’s Holiday Magic concert at the Tower Theatre this December — just one week before conducting COM’s own holiday concert at The Tower Theatre (Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria, performed with chamber orchestra and soloists.) Whew! When not directing or singing, Christian and his wife Audrey (a fabulous soprano) stay busy raising three young children. In true Bend fashion, they also have a dog. A celebration of the 20th anniversary of Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna, along

New Perspective for November by Eileen Lock

his month is filled with strong decisions that are cooperative and inspire healing. The Full Moon on the 3rd challenges relationships to look to the future and make the necessary changes. The rules seem to change after the 7th as conversations suggest action and integration becomes more important. Take a short time out on the 9th and check to be sure you have what you need to move forward. A cooperative environment on the 11th supports new beginnings and decisions happen quickly. Have faith on the 13th as opportunities present themselves and you are asked to make a choice with only a few facts. Follow your heart on the 16th and it you will be glad that you did. The New Moon on the 18th suggests that letting go of the past will help you move forward. Turn a corner over the next few days and only look to the future. 40 November 2017 | www.CascadeAE.com

Realizations on the 21st challenge you to be completely honest with yourself. This sets up a series of changes from the 24th to through the 26th. Speak up on the 27th and let the word know what you have decided. Give time for your choice to ripple out over the last few days of the month and remind yourself that this is the best choice for you.
