Winter by Richard Boyer

COVER STORY

R

ichard Boyer lived in Germany where he studied languages at the Universitaet Kiel. With Kiel as a homebase, he traveled throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He departed from Kiel in 1984 for the 'mod' lifestyle of West Berlin. This exposure provided a rich backdrop for experimentation in painting styles.

Richard divides his time between Utah and Sweden. He travels frequently throughout Europe and America from the quiet waterways of Amsterdam and the rolling hills of Provence to the jagged peaks of the American Rocky Mountains. His landscapes draw on the traditional approach to oil paintings, but are contrasted by a richer textural quality.

“Painting for me has been and always will be a lifelong journey of learning.

As I see objects and record my ideas on the canvas, I realize there is so much more to painting than merely applying the pigment on a surface according to a preconceived formula. There is a learning process I am experiencing from one painting to the next, a quest for knowledge to know the subject on which I am working.”

More recently Richard’s paintings have been inspired by some of our great American cities, such as New York, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Seattle and our very own Portland, Oregon. Richard sets out on foot with his camera and paint box, exploring and capturing the interiors of these concrete jungles.

Back in the studio, armed with numerous photos and sketches for reference, Richard begins bringing these unique and beautiful ‘urban-scapes’ to life on larger canvases.

“Portland, Oregon has become one of my favorite subjects.The city is beautiful and continues to inspire me each visit. Its unique colors, reflections, light and atmosphere play out beautifully on canvas.”

Zack is an award winning photographer specializing in fine art landscape photography and post processing. “Art is a way of life for my family. My father is a well known poster artist and painter. My mom was a painter and print maker and my brother is an art director. This is something I’m trying to pass on to my children as well.”

“The love of nature is also something that my family and I are passionate about. I’ve been hiking, biking, rock climbing and backpacking since I was little. From an early age, I learned to appreciate beauty in nature.”

Lynx by Oregon Institutional Inmate

Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin St. Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing, First Friday, December 7, 5-8pm exhibits artwork by inmates of Oregon correctional institutions with sales benefiting the Ugandan orphan children of Otino Waa Children’s Village.

A6 Artist Members were challenged to create original prints and artists books that elicit a feeling of déjà vu in the viewer—prompting them to

wonder, “Have I seen that before?” Artist use reproducible elements (marks in a plate, stencils, repeated pattern or collaged layers of past prints), can be used to create a sense of visual familiarity.

Within an artist book or pair of prints, such False Summit by Bob Faber synchronizations of past and present, presence and absence, seeing and remembering and surprise and recognition are characteristic of déjà vu.

Also on display in December, A6 studio artist Bob Faber presents a series of copper plate etching and aquatint prints inspired by patter and texture, emotionally inspired by nature and intellectually inspired by language. Bob’s current work is an apolitical reflection on our increasing polarized political environment. Faber will be printing in the studio on First Friday, December 7 from 5-7pm.

Déjà vu: Annual Member Exhibit

ARTS

W

ho does not know the mysterious feeling that you have experienced a completely new situation before? Déjà vu is a brief moment of clear-sightedness that leaves behind a powerful and unnerving impression—a sense of unexplainable recognition or familiarity.

A6 Artist Members were challenged to create original prints and artists books that elicit a feeling of déjà vu in the viewer—prompting them to wonder, “Have I seen that before?”

Artist use reproducible elements (marks in a plate, stencils, repeated pattern, or collaged layers of past prints), can be used to create a sense of visual familiarity. Within an artist book or pair of prints, such synchronizations of past and present, presence and absence, seeing and remembering, and surprise and recognition are characteristic of déjà vu.

This annual juried exhibit highlights local artists who are members of the A6 Print Studio, a printmaking and book arts studio housed within Bend Art Center. This year’s exhibit includes work by Ana Aguirre, Paula Bullwinkel, Pat Clark, Helen Loeffler, Sue Papanic, Jane Quale, Adell Shetterly, Adrienne Phillips, Carolyn Platt, Robin Thomas and Artwork by Adrienne Phillips Julie Winter. Sandy Brooke, local painter and former OSU Cascades professor, served as juror. Brooke selected Adrienne Phillip’s What chair? as Best in Show.

Bend Art Center provides creative and educational art experiences for Central Oregon residents and visitors of all ages. A non-profit art studio and exhibition space, Bend Art Center is home to A6 Print Studio, a working professional studio used by more than 30 local artist members. A6 holds on-going classes and workshops in printmaking, book arts, drawing and design. Upcoming classes are posted at bendartcenter.org. Bend Art Center presents monthly exhibits of contemporary art and hosts a variety of art talks and other cultural events.

In the midst of the Catholic Reformation, Caravaggio’s immense talent helped reinvigorate the Church. His shocking spin on traditional religious subjects, combined with his bold realism and dramatic chiaroscuro, earned Caravaggio noteriety as well as enduring admiration.

The Locavore Holiday Gift Faire is one of the best ways to find perfectly unique gifts for your special people made right here in Central Oregon. Will you buy them art, local honey or vinegar, hats, a new painting or a beautiful piece of jewelry? You don’t have to decide now — browsing the merry tables of these artists, farmers, and crafters is half the joy of this top notch gift faire.

The other half is knowing your dollars are supporting a vibrant local arts scene. Spending your money on local products is a rewarding way to diversify our economy. These events are truly for our community, by our community and are made possible by the support of dozens of local businesses and volunteers!

Central Oregon Locavore nonprofit was founded in 2009 and has since grown to include eight educational programs and a seven-day a week indoor farmers market. The nonprofit’s mission is to support local food and local farmers. centraloregonlocavore.org

Art at the Oxford

T

he Oxford Hotel presents Mary Medrano’s colorful acrylic paintings Feathers and Tails, continuing through December 28. The hotel invites the public to the champagne opening on First Friday, December 7 from 5:30-7:30pm.

Medrano notes that painting is her favorite method of storytelling. She adds, “It’s also effective in expressing thoughts and emotions.” With inspiration from nature, she finds that birds’ unique personalities lend readily to interpretation.

From a family who spent summers camping and canoeing, bird watching was a favored activity for the artist as a girl. With a predilection for composing stories, the artist naturally found birds’ behaviors entertaining and almost always amusing.

Later as an adult, her artistic abilities enabled her to borrow recognizable characteristics of birds and to transform these into imaginary avian personality traits. Thus, based on her impressions and emotive experiences in nature, especially in the woods of Central Oregon, Medrano began to paint imaginary birds, each with their own visual story.

The artist recently noted with humor that cats have suddenly also appeared in her “studio full of birds.” The cats, over scale in size with large, intensely focused yellow eyes and playfully painted designs on their coats, peaceably reside alongside the spirited birds on studio walls (and at the Oxford exhibit).

Clay Artist Linda Heisserman

ARTS

T

he road to becoming an artist is not always clear. For Linda Heisserman who thought she was going to be a teacher — discovery came when she took an elective in Clay. After completing her degree in Education she returned to the classroom years later and earned a BFA in Clay.

Heisserman has always used porcelain clay which is a white body, high fired clay. She likes the “canvas” it provides for her carving. Using a small palette of colors the carvings and design stand out rather than being obscured with multiple or vibrant hues. The Chinese Celadon and her own Blue Celadon glazes pool in the deep curves and pull off the high ridges of her carvings.

The biggest life lesson Linda learned came from working with clay. She had given up her day job and decided to become a self-supporting potter. One day her rabbit took a bite out of every bowl she had thrown. Previously a perfectionist, Heisserman decided that instead of throwing out all the bowls, she would cut into the lip of the bowl and incorporate the bite which became the beginnings of her distinctive asymmetrical Bunny Bowls. Lesson learned, sometimes one needs to set aside what they wanted (the perfect bowl) and see what they have (a truly unique bowl) and go with it.

Heisserman feels that one of her biggest accomplishments is the concept and realization of an idea that she and fellow potter and friend, Eleanor Murphey came up with. After shared difficulty in finding space to accommodate potters in the Bend area, these two women took their ideas to a group of artists in Bend. Six months later the Red Chair Gallery opened. A founding partner and active artist, Linda has loved being a part the Gallery for over eight years. She is thankful for the love and support Bend has given to its local artists and feels honored to have become a part of this wonderful community within the Red Chair and beyond. Heisserman is a focus artist at the Red Chair Gallery in December. As of the first of the year, she will be parting ways with the Gallery and plans to take these life lessons and experiences to begin the next chapter of her creativity in clay and life.

Unrepresented Artists of Bend A Call for Support

by KEN MARUNOWSKI, PhD AE Feature Writer end is a thriving community, and one element ever-present in communities that thrive is the artist. Artists create, and their creations aren’t simply about beauty; their creations may also question, critique, offend and perplex, thus generating dialogue, an element critical to a community’s well-being.

The Bend community certainly recognizes this fact, which is why there are several organizations, galleries and co-ops dedicated to supporting local artists and educating the community with respect to the artists’ processes, ideas, and creations. The Bend Art Center and At Liberty Arts Collaborative are two exemplars of such organizations while Red Chair gallery and Tumalo Art Co. are mainstay artist co-ops.

Despite the prodigious efforts of these organizations to get artists’ work out there, the number of Bend artists producing quality art exceeds the number of venues available for said artists to display their work on a regular basis such that it gains traction within the community. Co-ops and galleries often have full rosters or may not be the right fit. Although many restaurants and retailers offer artists monthlong venues to show their stuff, once the month is passed, the artist recedes into relative obscurity once more. And let’s face it, rare is the case that someone enters a coffee shop to buy a $4.75 latte and comes out with a $475 painting. The virtual world, namely Instagram and Facebook, have created new opportunities for artists to get their work out there, and in front of national and international audiences nonetheless. As wonderful as this is, the accumulation of “likes” or “followers” cannot

B

supplant the direct experience of a painting or performance, nor an in-situ exchange between an artist and interested person or party.

This article, Unrepresented Artists of Bend, envisioned as a series, represents an attempt to bring more local artists before the eyes of the Bend community in accordance with the efforts of the aforementioned organizations. Each month I will highlight artists who do not have dedicated representation yet work incredibly hard day after day to produce quality artwork. I will first offer a brief biography of the artist, followed by an Artist Statement, images of his or her work, and information regarding where to view and inquire about the artist’s work. My hope is that by calling readers’ attention to these Unrepresented Artists of Bend, word of their practice will extend into the community of art supporters and collectors who will then seek them out and purchase their work so they may continue doing what they do best — making art!

So, after reading this article, tear it out and create a physical folder that you can add to each month as the series continues. Then, when it comes time for a gift to others or self or for decorating an office space, look through that folder and make an investment in local art and a local artist. We need you just as you need us!

Call to Unrepresented Artists: If you are a serious Bend artist without representation and would like to be featured in this series, please contact me by email at kennethmarunowski@gmail.com.

Bio: Born into a German-Jewish family in Eastern Europe (Moldova), I emigrated to Germany as a ten-year-old following the collapse of the Soviet Union and a civil war, and came to the United States at age 17. I was accepted to the Ruth Awasa School of the Arts High School and recruited for a year-long internship by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art during my senior year. Having experienced much economic uncertainty and too often inadequate social support, pursuing art as a profession terrified me. I turned down admission and scholarships to art colleges and instead completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and earned an MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Somatic Psychology at the Santa Barbara Graduate Institute. After the birth of my first child, I gave up employment as a psychotherapist and manager of a residential facility for adolescents in foster care to care for my son. Continuing to help youth and families in crisis, I now volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). Although I had studied art from gifted and accomplished artists and completed several commissions, it was only after the birth of my second child and some humbling health scares that I found the courage to pursue art as my primary vocation.

Artist Statement: Creating art is a mindful and spiritual practice for me. Through visual representation, I seek to share my embodied experience — to be understood without the use of words and to rely instead on shapes, textures and hues to cue meaningful associations for the viewer. I hope that my audience engages with my images, follows their own associations and creates their own narrative. Partial to human form, flowers, textiles and intricate abstractions, my love for mathematics, physics and technology often surfaces in my work. I organize my conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings, and share this intimate creation with the world. Most of my works are on paper and small to medium sized. In the coming year, however, I plan to tackle larger pieces while staying true to my love of combining different media and carefully maintaining an archival quality in my work. www.jsmallart.com, Instagram: @smalljeanette, smalljeanette@gmail.com

Still Here: Native Artists’ Reflections on their Art & Heritage Join the High Desert Museum on December 6 at 6pm for a discussion with Kelli Palmer, Marge Kalama and Roberta Kirk, Native artists from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.

By Her Hand: Native American Women, Their Art and the Photographs of Edward S. Curtis is an in-depth exhibition of photographs spanning a 30-

year period.

By Her Hand celebrates Indigenous artistic traditions that have existed for centuries and continue to thrive within American Indian communities today. Marking the 150th anniversary of Edward S. Curtis’s birth, the exhibition features Curtis’s photographs of Native women from the Christopher G. Cardozo Collection. From the High Desert Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibit includes historical and contemporary pieces by female Native artists, giving greater historical context to Curtis’s work and showing the continuation of traditional artistic practices by artists today.

The artwork of photographer Edward S. Curtis is striking, complex and controversial. His significance lies not only in the sheer volume of his work, but also the historical and cultural knowledge collected on the subject of Native American life. Over the decades, his sepia-toned prints of Native people have shaped the ways that many non-Native people think about American Indians and the American West.

From Brooklyn to Bend

by Way of L.A., Violinist Isabelle Senger

S

oon after moving from Brooklyn to L.A., Isabelle LaForêt Senger began lessons on a 1/16 size violin at the tender age of four. Her talent was quickly evident and by middle school she was featured in performances around Los Angeles. Her studies included attending intensive summer programs such as Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Meadowmount School of Music. As a young student, she received rigorous orchestral training through the American Youth Symphony, under the direction of Mehli Mehta. At this time, she completed her Bachelor’s degree at UCSD and was a member of several prominent organizations, including the San Diego Symphony.

After a youth spent focused on training, Senger completed her Master’s degree at UCLA, but recognizes her true start in chamber music after receiving the Maxwell H. Gluck fellowship and representing the UCLA School of Music in the Gluck Piano Trio.

Senger jumped headfirst into the life of a professional musician — she has been found performing live with Andrea Bocelli and Olivia Newton-John, in the pit orchestra for the LA Opera, on a movie set in a string quartet, touring Italy with the Spoleto Quartet, and performing at Walt Disney Hall with the LA Master Chorale. In addition to working on movie soundtracks like King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia, she played regularly on television series like Family Guy and King of the Hill. She can also be heard on the albums of current recording artists such as Christina Aguilera, James Blunt and Kanye West.

Senger and her husband moved to Bend in 2007. She founded and is the Executive Director of High Desert Chamber Music (HDCM), and is still an active member of the Crown City String Quartet, which makes frequent appearances in the Pacific Northwest.

Isabelle Senger performed with the Crown City String Quartet at COCC’s Wille Hall when HDCM’s 11th season on Saturday, December 1.

Tickets are available through High Desert Chamber Music by phone or online.

Holiday Magic 2018 Features World Premiere of New Work

MUSIC

Ring Out, Wild Bells composed by Bend’s own James Knox

T

he 2018 edition of the seasonal favorite, Holiday Magic will feature the world premiere of new music written specifically for the Cascade Chorale. The new work, Ring Out, Wild Bells, places the text of the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in a dynamic, contemporary orchestral and vocal setting. Composer James Knox says, “When I first read the poem, I immediately related it to the state in which the U.S. is in right now and how we are viewed globally. In no way did I want to write something that had a political statement tied to it, but I felt compelled to compose and came up with a setting that had dramatic flair and creating a sound that made a bold statement.” Knox was surprised that the piece seemed to write itself in less than two weeks during a very tumultuous time in his life.

The concerts on December 8 at 3pm and 7pm and December 9 at 3pm, will showcase the musical talents of the Cascade Chorale and instrumentalists from the Central Oregon community and in addition to the premiere of Ring Out, Wild Bells, includes beautiful, traditional music of the season. The Saturday and Sunday matinee performances feature the delightful,charming and talented Bend Children’s Choir. Saturday evening’s performance includes Bend Camerata — a talented Bend-based chamber ensemble that presents a wide variety of classic choral repertoire.

The Cascade Chorale and the Bend Children’s Choir are under the direction of James Knox.

The Cascade Chorale, a community chorus, is part of the music department at Central Oregon Community College. Our members range from experienced choristers who have sung with the Chorale for decades, as well as members that have just recently graduated from high school. The Cascade Chorale has been under the direction of James Knox since 2004, and averages 75 talented singers.

The Cascade Chorale Association (CCA) is a 501(c)3 organization which provides financial and organizational support to Cascade Chorale. CCA is a proud member of Central Oregon’s Arts & Culture Alliance.

CCA’s mission is to make choral music accessible to everyone in the Central Oregon community. Our concerts are an enormous logistical and financial undertaking but, despite the cost of hiring support musicians, renting venues, and community projects, in 2012 we stopped charging admission to our concert-goers. We now rely solely on donations to fund most of our operations.

All tax deductible donations or sponsorships will help us to continue to bring beautiful choral music to Central Oregon. cascadechoralew.org

Tracorum at Volcanic Theatre Pub

P

arallel 44 Presents is excited to announce the San Fran Funky jam rock of Tracorum at Volcanic Theatre Pub on Wednesday, December 12 at 8:30pm.

Tracorum brings you on a journey with their sounds of funk to jammy guitar solos, all the way to Caribbean rhythms you can’t stop moving to.

Tracorum’s contagious musical journeying is a blend of southern rock, soul, honky tonk and roots americana. Rhythmic diversity adds elements of funk, caribbean and gospel stomp to their unique feel good sound. Great songwriting, strong vocals and timeless storytelling are the vehicle on which this powerful quartet is making their national ascent.

“At the end of the day we are a Rock and Roll band in the truest sense” says piano/vocalist Fletcher Nielsen “We thrive on a diversity of sound because it’s an honest representation of where we collectively come from as people.

“In one show we might musically visit New Orleans, the Appalachian mountains, Delta blues, church, psychedelic 60’s, England’s Rock heroes, say hello to Dylan and Willie Nelson drop Parliament/Funkadelic a bone and end up in Jamaica with a final stop in Memphis via southern Georgia.”

“It works because every song or style we play is unified by the true heart of Rock and Roll that is put into every performance. Tracorum has developed a unique sound which makes every original song or choice cover we play come across as if it was our own. People say eclectic is a marketing death wish but the spirit of resistance and potential that threads through our shows connects us with the audience in an symbiotic convergence that leaves both the band and the crowd energized night after night, for us that is Rock and Roll” The band has released three studio albums: Rock n Soul (2006), The Lesson (2011) and Tricked (2013).

Tracorum has shared the stage with great acts such as Robert Randolph Family Band, Trombone Shorty, Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan Neville Dumpstafunk, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Umphreys McGee, Bill Kreutzmann’s (Grateful Dead) 7 Walkers, Mickey Hart Band (Grateful Dead), Anders Osborne, Leo Neocentelli and performed at great events like Sundance Film Festival, New Orleans Jazz Festival, SXSW, High Sierra Music Festival, Hangtown Halloween Festival, 4 Peaks Music Festival, Memphis Film Festival and many more.

"Sometimes we listen to music without really hearing it. However, when we're ready to open up and experience a thing as it truly is, well, it can feel like a baptism. What they do is rock 'n' roll but done so fundamentally right it makes you want to kiss them when they power down their instruments. This night, as the festival raged like we'd never seen before on a Sunday eve, Tracorum embodied our collective high spirits and unspoken ache at this experience coming to a close and put those elements to work in some of the best boogie-minded, straightgreat rock heard all weekend. Comparisons to The Band and studio aces The Wrecking Crew flitted through my brain as I danced to the heart of this fleeting makeshift town next to my loose-limbed sisters and brothers. Every aspect was right on the money and every man showed himself a massive talent on their respective instruments, pouring soul into every note, their conviction becoming our own."

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

Doors open at 8:30pm and the show kicks off at 9pm for this all ages show. volcanictheatre.com

Sunriver Stars Oliver Sells Out

F

ive sold out shows and standing O’s!

The Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) opened its sixth season with all five shows sold out and all five receiving standing ovations. Forty five local residents age five to 86 brought their audience to their feet with the production of Oliver, under the direction of Artistic Director Victoria Kristy. “I have been directing live theater since 1970”, Kristy beamed,” and this is the first time I have had a show completely sell out! I am so very proud of my cast and so grateful for the community support!”

Oliver was quickly followed by The Canterbury Tales, directed by Susan Evans Inman, and it was another crowd pleaser. Originally planned to be presented only as a gift to the community at the November Sunriver Potluck, it soon became apparent that Cast of Oliver, courtesy of Sunriver Stars additional performances needed to be added due to popular demand. Three laughaloud shows delighted the crowds.

Two for two…but they’re not done yet. Auditions for the third show, Suite Surrender directed by Sunriver favorite, Ron Pugh, took place December 4. Set in a luxury hotel during WWll, this comedy features four men and five women of various ages. Rehearsals begin January 2 and the show runs March 8-9 and14-16.

Miracle on 34th Street at Cascade Theater

S

even actors, a Foley artist, a musical director and Stage Manager.

Is he Santa Claus? Or is he just some delusional old man? Some people want to believe he is and others want to prove he is not.

This seems to be the central theme of Cascade Theatrical Company’s Christmas production of Miracle on 34th Street, but those familiar with the story know better. This is fully a story about belief, imagination and miracles. With seven actors, a Foley artist/sound effects man, a musical director and a stage manager, CTC presents this marvelous story as a movie for the ears. Based on various sources, including an original radio play produced in 1947, this play has all the elements of live radio production including commercials performed by the cast.

Miracle on 34th Street runs Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday through December 22. It’s a proven holiday tradition and is perfect for the entire family.

Tickets are available at cascadestheatrical.org or through the box office at 541-389-0803.

LITERARY

Bernie’s First Christmas #6 Harry and Lola Adventures Book

Released to Support Three Rivers Humane Society

T

he legendary leader Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Jerilee Drynan and her husband run Three Rivers Humane Society in Madras. They believe that Central Oregon’s homeless dogs need the best care we can possibly give them while waiting to find a forever home.

Three Rivers Humane Society offers large outdoor play space for their rescues and divides the dogs into play groups to insure safe, exciting activity for all the adoptees. Another valuable service they offer adopting owners is lifetime behavior support. When you adopt a rescued dog you adopt all the habits that were created up to that point in its life. Some of those habits may not be the ones you want to live with. This offer of behavior support can be priceless for new owners of some dogs.

Author and illustrator, Jean Russell Nave learned about the outstanding care offered by Three Rivers Humane Society when she and her husband adopted a bonded pair of Scottish Terriers from them. Soon after the adoption Nave decided to write another children’s book, Bernie’s First Christmas, dedicating the royalties to Three Rivers Humane Society. The new book, part of the Harry and Lola Adventures Series available on Amazon.com, is a somewhat true story of their rescued Scottie, Bernie.

Nave became an author 1984 when she began working as a corporate motivational speaker and trainer. She also spent time as a cable television host for two series and she had numerous self-help books published before retiring to Central Oregon in the 1990s. After retirement, she and her husband became involved with adopting rescued Scottish Terriers and learned how badly rescue organizations needed financial suport.

After a short time Jean began writing and illustrating what became a series of children’s books about Harry and Lola, her bonded pair of rescued Scotties. All author’s royalties of the first five books went to Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue (ASTR), which was Oregon’s breed specific rescue group at the time. A few years ago the organization moved out of Oregon.

Jean took a break from writing books while dealing with cancer, about the time ASTR moved. Once she was healthy again, she and her husband adopted the pair of Scotties from Three Rivers Humane Society. The excellent care the organization offered the Scotties, and the joy of having more dogs in the house again made Jean think about writing this new book.

“Before cancer I’d take the three Scotties we had to Black Butte Ranch and Eagle Crest to read to kids in their recreation centers. The Scotties loved visiting with the children and the youngsters were thrilled to meet and play with the dogs after hearing a story about them,” said Nave. “Jerilee Drynan and I decided that I’d bring the real Bernie with me to her booth at the Holiday Market at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds on December 8. Youngsters will be able to pet and walk Bernie after they hear me read his story, Bernie’s First Christmas.”

Make this an extra special Christmas Season by visiting Three Rivers Humane Society’s booth on Saturday, December 8 from 1-2pm at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 430 SW Fairgrounds Rd, Madras, Oregon 97741. Youngsters will hear the entertaining new story Bernie’s First Christmas and get a chance to meet and pet the real Bernie, a lovable rescued Scottish Terrier.

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents The High Desert State of Mind, paintings by members of the High Desert Art League (HDAL). The exhibit opens November 28, continuing through the annual holiday Traditions celebration and into the New Year.

HDAL, a professional artists’ group, supports the advancement of member artists. A cooperative business for participants, the league promotes their artwork through exhibitions as well as offering interactive education. Members are accomplished artists working in a wide variety of mediums.

The exhibit’s theme expresses the members’ affection for the High Desert.

Member Vivian Olsen writes, “We share a love for this place where we live.

The nearby mountains and high desert environments of Central Oregon, the sights and sounds of animals, the pleasant attitudes of the people, all come together to create an atmosphere perfectly made for creative minds. So, in this state of mind, we celebrate by offering our works of art. “ The High Desert State of Mind exhibit features artworks by members including Helen Brown, Barbara Cella, Jean Lubin, Karen Maier, Dee McBirienLee, Jaqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes, Rebecca Sentgeorge, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller. These members’ works will be on display through March 15, 2019.

Artist Helen Brown notes that The High Desert extends south from the Columbia River to Klamath Falls and that inspiration for her watercolor paintings arises from the landscapes and birds present in this habitat. Her paintings begin on rice paper with the use of a batik technique that creates a unique textured appearance as seen in the image of migrating Canada Geese.

Time to Go by Helen Brown

High Desert State of Mind

Brown’s artwork received recognition with national publication in SPLASH, The Best of Watercolor as well as her appearance in numerous exhibits including the National Watercolor Society in Seattle, Washington and the national juried show of the Memphis Art League, Memphis, Tenessee.

In her first appearance at the Sunriver gallery with the HDAL, is photographer Karen Maier. From a background in commercial photography creating images for advertising, the artist now enjoys capturing macro photos, “getting as close as possible to her subject.” Featured in the December exhibit is her shot of Kokanee salmon in the Deschutes River. She notes that the fish are nearly identical in color to the pebbles in the river, producing a rather surreal image; the ripples in the moving water lend additional attraction.

Maier also finds inspiration in wildflowers as featured in her exhibit.

Barbara Slater, creator of oil paintings for over 40 years, exhibits her memorable portraits of a bear, a fox, goats and other creatures. The artist notes that she studies the eyes of animals to capture their personalities and her paintings reveal not only that careful observation but her affection and respect for her subjects. A member of Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club, her work appears in galleries in Utah and Oregon and her art appears in collections throughout the United States. In addition to her career in art, she enjoyed a 35-year career in education and worked as a children’s book illustrator as well as an advertising/graphic design artist.

Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition. open all hours. Future articles will feature other HDAL members. Billye Turner organizes the lodge art series, info at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Wildlife Artist Michael Bryant he Wooden Jewel is a unique blend of designer jewelry and wood art.

Michael and Denise Bryant, owners of The Wooden Jewel, opened their doors in February 2013 in the Sunriver Village shopping area in Sunriver. They decided that after years of traveling to art shows and long days on the road that they could combine their experience and talents in one place and stay close to home. After years of success in Sunriver, they have the opportunity to expand into Downtown Bend at 844 NW Bond, opening December 15.

Michael is an international award winning sculptor. Born and raised in Oregon, Michael spent most of his childhood hunting and fishing in Oregon’s masterful landscapes.

Michael was born with a natural gift for the arts but he wasn’t able to express those desires until much later in life. He worked in the drilling business early on in his career traveling on many environmental and exploratory jobs.

Sculpting animals is truly his gift and where he finds himself lost in the spirits of the creatures he magically brings to life. Sculpting single, solid pieces of some of the most beautiful woods North America has to offer, Michael’s talents are a gift to us all.

“The uniqueness that my life now offers is a cumulative effort of skill, love and passion, birds, mammals, fish, and wood,” explains Michael. “These things all interact in an all-organic form. Their beauty lies within their lines of motion. From a raw log, I start with an idea, a feeling, if you will. I go with my intuition and the wood talks to me. The curve of a crane’s neck, the attitude of a horse’s body, these are all things that happen when my work and I are on the same plane.

And when that happens, it seems effortless, like I’m in open space with the creatures as they live. It’s as if I am a part of their world for a moment in time.”

Michael has been honored with several awards including the 2007- Best Artisan Calgary Stampede and Exhibition and Best of Show 2012 Nature Works in Tulsa, Oklahoma. thewoodenjewel.com
