very summer here in Bend there is a plethora of stellar activities and events that Bendites and tourists alike much anticipate and fully embrace, from outdoor activities to brew / music fests. The premier juried fine art and craft event that, for the fifth consecutive year, stakes its claim as one of the Nation’s top 20 shows for sales is the one and only Art in the High Desert (Art Fair Sourcebook)! Now in its 12th year and once again located on the glorious banks of the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District, Art in the High Desert (AHD) welcomes 120 diverse artists from across North America this August 23-25. If you have been to AHD before, you may think you know what to expect, but not quite the case! Each year AHD consistently welcomes 35-50 new artists. This year, 50 is the magic number of new additions that will complement the returning favorites. From the humorous and unexpected to the ingeniously engineered and deftly crafted, and across a range of prices to meet all budgets, there is art that will appeal to everyone.

by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, PhD AE Feature Writer

To be accepted into AHD, artists must complete a rigorous application reviewed by a four-person expert jury from a variety of creative genres that ensures the presence of only the highest quality creators and creations. Four criteria guide the jurors as they contemplate and discuss the six submitted images from each artist: 1. Original thought and intent, 2. Overall strong concept, 3. Excellence in craftsmanship and 4. Consistency of style and presentation. A succinct 200-character Artist Process Statement provides further insight to the jury regarding how the artists make their work. For example, Lisa Kattenbraker of Olympia, Washington offers “Batik on cotton fabric: traditional methods, fiber reactive dyes, locally harvested bees wax. 100 hours of wax application & 40+ dyes per piece.” Fennville, Michigan artist Tyler Voorhees makes “Paper collage — Torn bits of craft paper are collaged, painted to a wood panel to create scenes depicting historic jobs. The innovation that replaced the job is hidden in the composition.”

Local show organizers, artists from near and far and the local and tourist public alike make Art in the High Desert a community event par excellence. Co-founders Dave and Carla Fox extend their gratitude to all involved, particularly the Old Mill for their continued hosting of the event. As Dave himself states, “I love being involved with the people in the community. I love to communicate the potential of this event for our lives and for our town.” And we in the community love Dave for doing just this! Please remember, this is a “no dogs allowed” event for the safety of all involved, especially the dogs. Of course, service dogs are the exception. See you on August 23-25 at Art in the High Desert! artinthehighdesert.com

Voorhees

As a means to further support these artists who work so hard year round to bring you the fruits of their creative labors, AHD offers them constructive jury feedback with respect to their application. Jurors first review and score the work independently and then engage in a discussion regarding such elements as strengths, weaknesses, and image order. This year twenty-nine artists took advantage of this inexpensive service ($35) so that they may further enhance the quality of their applications. That the biggest marketers of AHD are participating and past artists who encourage their artistic peers to apply attests to the quality service offered to artists on behalf of AHD and to the sheer excellence of the show itself.

FRIDAY JULY 5 Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin St. Featuring sculpted wood art by Jim Fister and Theodore Gladu thru July 28. Jim Fister, amusingly discusses his inspiration to create art from watching “Captain Kangaroo’s Magic Drawing Board showing you what to do.” His mother patiently encouraged his art advising the youngster “telling me that, some day, I could be an artist.” Though enjoying the drawing on extra paper grocery bags, he was uncertain when viewing Mr. Greenjeans walking across the mandated crosswalk in bare feet — “I knew that couldn’t be good.” Theodore (Ted) Gladu studied art Watchful Intruder, sculpted wood art by Theodore Gladu in college and, like many, created work that combined his education and earning an income. Working as a carpenter, a cabinetmaker and ultimately as an architectural designer, the artist notes that he created “living spaces that try to exist in harmony with nature and human need.” The public is invited to the opening of this exhibit at Franklin Crossing (corner of Bond and Franklin) on First Friday, July 5, 5-8pm. Noi Thai serves complimentary appetizers and wine and the Tommy Leroy Trio performs jazz. Billye Turner curates exhibitions for Franklin Crossing, open 7am-7pm.

An immigrant, Andreis finds 36x48 wood, galvanized steel, himself comparing the place of his birth (The silkscreen on wood panel by Andries Fourie Eastern Cape Province of South Africa) with the place where he makes his home today (Central Oregon). Comparing the geography of memory and the geography of the present helps him explore the ways in which the landscape and the natural world shape our identities. Andreis is fascinated with the patterns in the landscape, in different ecosystems, and in animal behavior, migration and movement. His work often includes an element of cataloging and mapping: of the physical features of a landscape, the fauna and flora, and the web of relationships between humans and the species that inhabit a specific ecosystem. Thru July 30 with an opening reception on Friday, July 5, from 5-8 pm and an artist’s talk Saturday, July 13, 11am-12:30pm.

After graduation from Tufts University and employment as director of publication and marketing at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, the artist moved to from the eastern USA to Bend and “changed her world.” The artist’s paintings depict the inspiration which she gleans from “appreciating of beauty in every day — minute flowers in the high desert — the intoxicating scent of wet sagebrush after a summer storm — the utter still of a deep twilight sky.” Gibson encourages admirers, “The paintings convey the richness of solitude still available to those who seek it along the Deschutes.” The artist’s color saturated paintings on view at the Oxford Hotel thru July 26 invite all to seek this quietude and beauty.

Thump Genuine Coffee 25 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-388-0226 • thumpcoffee.com Barbara Hudler Cella will display her acrylic landscape paintings of Central Oregon during the month of July. Intimate Waters will open with a reception on First Friday, July 5 from 5-8pm. In this show, Cella captures the colors, currents, reflections and intimate Sparks Lake Creek by Barbara Hudler Cella smallness in sometimes vast landscapes of our nearby lakes and waterways. Cella’s paintings reveal her cherished experiences of Central Oregon waters. Originally from Northern Minnesota, with summers made of endless days of swimming, canoeing, wading, fishing, and simple awe, Cella has found paradise in Central Oregon’s precious wilds. Many of her works are painted plein air: painted quickly and on-site, providing Cella with an intimate connection and creative meditation with her wild surroundings. “I love to paint immersed in nature,” explained Cella. “The sounds of the rippling water, birds and breeze, along with the rich smell of fresh water, moist earth, and growing plants surround me. My eyes see more colors than a camera ever could, and I have to paint very fast before the sun moves or the wind picks up and everything changes. I have to let my critical brain stop running things and let the scene go from my eyes to my paintbrush. It is exhilarating!” Recently retired from a varied career including national park ranger/naturalist for several western parks, manager of a science museum’s adult education program, and marketing director in higher education, Cella is thrilled to finally be able to focus on her art. Clearly others are also — in the past year, she has been acknowledged with two international painting awards and exhibited at a pair of major art institutions in Minneapolis. She also was juried in to the High Desert Art League and exhibits often with the Central Oregon group of elite artists. In addition to painting Central Oregon, Cella also has a collection of Italian boat paintings and numerous landscapes of western national parks. More information and her online gallery is available at barbaracella.com. Townshend’s Tea Company 835 NW Bond St. 541-312-2001 • Townshendstea.com Presenting Ink and Paint, Barbara Smiley’s exhibit of original ink & paint work thru July 31 with an artist reception on First Friday July 5 from 5-8pm. “I am an artist who works in many mediums: watercolor, acrylic, clay, printmaking, drawing, photography and graphic design,” said Barbara. “This group of paintings focus on my love for the graphic quality of black India ink combined with watercolor. Line quality and diversity has always been a strong interest and goal for me and the use of chalk and wax find their way into some of these paintings. “My background as a graphic designer often conflicts with my desire to loosen up and let things go but exploring many mediums this challenges me to not get too stuck. “Artistic endeavors have been a part of my life growing up in Bend, and lead me to pursue a degree in art. Along with working in graphic design, I’ve taught adult and children’s classes privately and as Artist in Residence in the schools, and have participated in numerous shows.”

The ragged slabs then become the building blocks for the sculpture, puzzling the pieces into animal forms.

Dorothy Eberhardt

ive Dorothy Eberhardt a cloudy sky and a sweet little lake and she will create a stunning photograph. The clouds will be reflected perfectly in the clear water and there will inevitably be a snowclad mountain in the background. Eberhardt’s photographs are so well composed that they resemble paintings. Her work will be showcased at the Red Chair Gallery in July. Eberhardt loves to be outdoors and keeps a long list of areas in Central Oregon that she wants to photograph. Some of her favorites are Sparks Lake, Green Lake and No Name Lake. Lately, she has been focusing on the Painted Hills and the Sutton Mountain wilderness area, where in early spring, the hillsides are smothered in wildflowers. Later in the season as the desert areas east of Bend dry up, she will work in the Cascades to capture the beauty of its lakes and peaks. Sometimes, she camps overnight at a trailhead so that she can rise before dawn and hike up to capture a stunning sunrise. Photography represents Eberhardt’s second career in art. Previously, she did copper enameling, creating pieces to enhance her husband David’s woodworked spice racks and photo frames. The couple traveled the country for 35 years selling at art festivals. After David passed away, Eberhardt felt she needed to change to a new medium. When she was a child, her father, a dedicated amateur photographer, had given her a camera and taught her to use it. So when she decided to find a new medium she turned to photography. She studied many books on photography and mastered Photoshop. Although she learned all the tricks and techniques, she felt her focus should be on composition. Drawing on

her college degree in art education and years of teaching art, her goal was to create stunning compositions. “It took me three years to get a composition I liked at Sparks Lake,” she says. “It had to have an interesting sky,” she says, which occurred on a day when a nearby wildfire created colorful clouds. Eberhardt framed her photos traditionally for many years but now she is producing some of them on aluminum sheets using a process called dye sublimation. This involves creating a print on special paper with dyes, flipping it over onto the coated aluminum and then inserting the sheet into a heated press which vaporizes the dye into the coating. The image is actually embedded into the coating. The lighting, clarity and colors of Eberhardt’s work come through as brilliantly as if you were looking through a window. redchairgallerybend.com

After graduation from Tufts University and employment as director of publication and marketing at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, the artist moved to from the eastern USA to Bend and “changed her world.” She recalls, “Countless walks along the Deschutes River trail offered endless opportunities to study, photograph, and subsequently paint the light, the color, the reflections, and the depths of the water.” Through such walks, autumn became her favored season to explore when, “…the varied landscape of the high desert is enhanced with subtle pops of changing color.” Gibson continues, “When the slanting sunlight breaks through the forest and highlights the tips of grasses and rush on the far banks of Big Eddy, bright pops of vivid color contrast the reflections of the deep blue sky of Afternoon Sun on the Big Eddy. The artist achieves these bold colors through subtle “layer upon layer of translucent washes of acrylic

Jim Fister & Theodore Gladu

im Fister, amusingly discusses his inspiration to create art from watching “Captain Kangaroo’s Magic Drawing Board showing you what to do.” His mother patiently encouraged his art advising the youngster “telling me that, some day, I could be an artist.” Though enjoying the drawing on extra paper grocery bags, he was uncertain when viewing Mr. Greenjeans walking across the mandated crosswalk in bare feet — “I knew that couldn’t be good.” Fister continues, “I put aside my artistic aspirations to go study engineering in college. But, I’ve always loved to express creativity.” Though successful as an engineer, he returned some five years ago to art, working on 3D art — “small furniture pieces, gift items and other things that make people woodenly happy!” He expanded his woodworking to larger furniture pieces and sculptural imagery and notes, “The art that nature can make far exceeds my creativity so I mostly want to let the wood speak for itself. I’m particularly attracted to live-edge wood, or to wood with odd character that can be brought out with some sandpaper and stain. I occasionally add stone or metal for emphasis, but it’s all about the wood to me.” He also creates custom work — framing, finishing, repair and other projects. He notes, “Who knew how magic that Magic Drawing Board was? Captain Kangaroo and Mom did.”

Olive Dreams, sculpted wood art by Jim Fister

Theodore (Ted) Gladu studied art in college and, like many, created work that combined his education and earning an income. Working as a carpenter, a cabinetmaker and ultimately as an architectural designer, the artist notes that he created “living spaces that try to exist in harmony with nature and human need.” He continues, “In a new phase of my artistic life, I have moved into expanding a sense of connectivity with nature, naming the result If Trees Could Dream. The exhibition is a reverie of my thoughts, an exploration of space and time, and most importantly, a tribute to the wild land that surrounds us in our Central Oregon environs.” The artist shapes pruned juniper branches and red willow into freestanding sculptures and creates paintings that are both tributes to architectural design and “the uniqueness and complexity of the landscape.” He continues, “Finally there is a tribute piece to the Fibonacci series, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… a series whose mathematics are the core of design in nature.” Gladu adds that we admire the beauty and peace of our surrounding environment but, “…do we ever wonder about the consciousness of our biosphere?” His exhibit, in reflection and design, depicts, “my fantasy of what might happen if trees, in fact, could dream.”

The Great Basin Then & Now First Peoples & Artists Today by CHRIS MORIN of Raven Makes Gallery

he area known as the Great Basin of the American West has always encompassed the state of Nevada. One thousand years ago, however, this geographic region extended much further into the surrounding states than it does today. The arrival of Westerners brought significant alterations to the watersheds and aquifers, reducing the Great Basin from over 300,000 square miles to less than 200,000.

The area contains dozens of mountain ranges running in northsouth directions with broad high elevation valleys between them. For several millenniums, there’s been scant precipitation throughout the entire region. Within this overall area is The Great Basin Desert.

artists. Some of them use strictly traditional imagery and craftsmanship in their work, others combine these aspects with contemporary materials and concepts. No matter the approach taken, their artistry carries astute cultural understandings gleaned during simpler times.

Melissa Melero-Moose, Northern Paiute, lives in Western Nevada. She holds art degrees from both the prestigious Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe and Portland State University. An artist, writer and founder of the Great Basin Native Artists collective, her contemporary mixed media paintings offer images drawn from the consciousness of her people. Melissa incorporates organic objects such as sand and pinions nuts onto a canvas with acrylic washes to create a layered and dimensional look to her pieces. She states, “I view these works as a personal collaboration of my culture, individual development, and curious expression of the world around me. My intention is to share with others the beauty of the Great Basin area, people and culture.” A renowned abstract artist in Sisters, Oregon recently said of her works, “They’re meditative, quiet, with a spiritual quality that is somewhat understated. Every piece has a personal focal point for a person, allowing them to enter the work. They’re really good!” Joey Allen, Paiute and Shoshone, grew up and continues to live in the Fallon, NV area. He’s a reed craftsman in the most traditional sense, as well as a local guide. The area of nearby Stillwater contains lakes, where ducks have long been hunted. Like duck hunting today, decoys were traditionally used to bring the waterfowl closer to the hunters. Joey apprenticed under master Paiute Thule Decoy maker Martin George in the 1990’s. This area, the Lahontan Valley, once held the largest lake in the American Pyramid Lake, Nevada West. It was a major nesting area and flyway for the waterfowl of North America’s Pacific region. Joey’s decoys could have been used in the old days to lure in ducks; today, they can be either works of art or used as hunting decoys. Tia Flores has Navajo and Aztecan ancestral heritage. Her paternal grandmother’s family made their home in the Nevada Great Basin desert while her maternal side instilled within her the strong Indigenous connections to the Earth. Combined, it is these two ancestral elements that guide Tia as a pyrographer — an artist who creates images with burning tools. Decorative gourd art dates back 4000 years in the Western Hemisphere as Indigenous Peoples used various tools and ash to inscribe and darken prepared gourds with elaborate, narrative images. Tia drums, masks, totems and jewelry are delicately embellished with culturally themed designs. The Great Basin Artist’s Show will take place in Sisters, Oregon at Raven Makes Gallery, 182 E Hood Ave. The dates are July 26-28. Friday from 4-7pm is the artist’s reception, Saturday and Sunday the artists will also be available to discuss their works from 11am-5pm and 11am-3pm.

Unrepresented Artists of Central Oregon #8 by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, Ph.D. AE Feature Writer

Jacob J. Norris (jacobjnorris.gallery) Bio: Jacob J. Norris is an award-winning and published fine artist who specializes in painting representational abstractions in oil. With a childhood spent exploring the high desert among juniper and sagebrush, Jacob found his passion for capturing those simple and peaceful moments on canvas. He began painting landscapes right after high school and has recently found a deep love painting the birds that he spent so much time studying as child. He is currently working on a bird field guide. Jacob’s work has brightened the walls at Lone Pine Coffee Roasters, Crow’s Feet Commons, 123 Ramen, Sparrow Bakery, Townshend’s Tea House, The Tin Pan Theatre, Back Porch Coffee Roasters and various house shows around Bend. His work has been auctioned at fundraisers for Waldorf School of Bend and Westside Village School, as well as numerous independent fundraisers. Jacob recently drew illustrations for a novel titled, The Year I Lived Dangerously (available at Amazon. com), and his paintings are for sale at Found Natural Goods in downtown Bend. Upcoming art shows will be held at Lone Pine in July and Crow’s Feet in August.

Artist Statement: I love birds, and when you love something, you want to take it in and make it a part of you. In life when the inevitable gust of chaos regarding what’s for dinner, bills needing paid, kids’ needs, and the whirlwind dance of “tending to” overflows, I walk up the hill to a tree and sit upon the earth. Almost always I hear the quick, buzzing wings of a hummingbird. What joy they bring! When the birds give with their song, their ordinariness, their simple tasks of finding food and feeding their young, they remind me of myself. And so I fill my canvases with them. I paint some singing, some flying, but it is their gestures, their colors, their personalities, and the tiny reflection of the landscape in their eyes that I appreciate the most. When I paint them my relationship with each one becomes more intimate; I am able to see even more the unique features of every bird. This is my inspiration for creating and publishing my own illustrated local bird field guide as my way of deepening my craft as an artist.

n the afternoon of October 18, 1968, tall, lanky Bob Beamon stood alone at the head of the runway during the long jump finals at the Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City. After fouling on his first two jumps in qualifying, he was simply hoping for a solid 27-foot effort that would put him in contention for the medal he was favored to win. But despite years of training, nothing could’ve prepared him for what happened next: A jump so far beyond the world record, in fact, so far beyond comprehension, it created a term known as “Beamonesque.” A half century later, the term is still used to describe a spectacular and remarkable athletic achievement. What’s more, at the ripe age of 72, Beamon is still pounding the pavement as the Global Ambassador for Pierce Footwear, Inc., inspiring athletes of all ages, shapes and sizes to do something Beamonesque of their own.

developers, businesses, nonprofits and the community — incorporating incentives designed to promote healthy growth for housing for all income levels. One of the tacks is the concept of a significant reduction in Systems Development Charges for each housing type, with the Community Development and Public Works departments partnering in an effort to ensure the future needs of the City are met, while incentivizing current activity regarding housebuilding. The City is also studying the concept of an Urban Renewal District that would redirect property taxes from new housing construction to help buy down the cost of additional housing for all income levels, with an emphasis on workforce housing. Other projects related to the housing sector include the development of critical infrastructure, such as the sewer project just completed in the Bel-Air/Herzberg Heights neighborhood. Public Works made strenuous efforts to obtain grant funds to assist with this project and help homeowners find financial assistance to link up to the service. City leaders hail this type of infrastructure work as helping increase property values, and more similar larger projects are planned for this year.

BEAT Children’s Theatre Presents...

CLUE

t’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons and the host is dead! So WHODUNNIT? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlett, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Originally patented by a British musician, Anthony Pratt in 1944 and then released in 1949, the game of Clue was first called Cluedo. Pratt wanted the game to be a replica of a parlor game played by he and his friends. Just as the game then came to be played, Pratt’s “Murder” game involved one of his friends being given the role of the killer, while the remaining guests worked to discover the killer’s identity. Not much has changed though the years for this timeless classic. Since its debut, both the board game Photos courtesy of BEAT Children's Theatre and movie have become iconic, and the characters and story are well known among all ages. BEAT Children’s Theatre is excited to be showcasing this classic murder mystery comedy under the direction of Julee Vadnais. Julee is not a stranger to the BEAT family. She has taught many classes including Teeny BEAT for our little actors. Julee is making her directorial debut for BEAT however, with a cast or 12 talented actors. She has a long history of teaching and entertaining. Julee has a degree in performing arts from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Antioch University in Los Angeles. As a former performer at Disney World, a circus performer, and a stunt performer, she is sure to challenge these actors to bring their best character to the stage. Julee is backed by a great directing team as well including Assistant Director and Stage Manager, Megan Merydith and Julee’s long time Stage Assistant, Karen Pine. Can you solve the mystery of WHODUNNIT? Whether or not, come to cheer on your favorite character, laugh at the comedic storyline, or sit back and enjoy this classic in another form. Clue will be performing at Cascade Theatrical Company July 18-28. beatchildrenstheatre.org • tickettails.com

To The Moon & Beyond

First Man

n Saturday, July 20 at 8pm the nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation invites you to come celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with a double-feature extravaganza. We’ll begin with George Méliès’s short, silent film A Trip to the Moon with live accompaniment by keyboardist, Christopher Kuter, followed by a screening of Damien Chazelle’s First Man featuring Ryan Gosling. A Trip to the Moon is a 1902 French adventure film directed by Georges Méliès and inspired by Jules Verne’s novels. The film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants named for the Greek moon goddess Selene), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite. It features an ensemble of French performers, led by Méliès himself in the main role of Professor Barbenfouillis, and is filmed in the overtly theatrical style for which Méliès became famous. Though Méliès"s films were silent, they were not intended to be seen silently. In that spirit, the Tower Foundation commissioned Box Office Manager and local musician, Christopher Kuter, to create and provide original keyboard accompaniment for this screening. First Man is a 2018 biographical film directed by Damien Chazelle (La

Tower Theatre Celebrates 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 La Land) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Based on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James R. Hansen, the drama stars Ryan Gosling as Armstrong, alongside Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler and Lukas Haas. It follows the years leading up to the July 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. Chazelle stated, “This was also a story about grief, about someone who lost a lot of people he loved, and what those losses did to him. My goal with this movie was to share with audiences the unseen, unknown aspects of America’s mission to the moon.” Trip to the Moon Unrated; 18 minutes First Man – PG13; 140 minutes Saturday, July 20 | 8pm TowerTheatre.org • 541-317-0700

The inspiration for these representational works is found in the richly hued landscape and seasonal color of the Willamette Valley, Metolius basin, Black Butte Ranch and surrounding areas of Central Oregon. This prolific artist has been visiting the area since the early 70’s when her father designed the Golf Course Condominiums at Black Butte Ranch. The exhibit includes smaller plein air paintings and larger works both depicting familiar scenes from the region. Lisa loves to paint outdoors breathing in the essence of her subject where she works in oils. During cooler months the warmth and convenience of her home studio welcomes her to compose larger more detailed paintings in acrylic on canvas. Lisa is a member of The Plein Air Painters of Oregon located in Bend, The Rainspark Gallery and Lake Area Artists in Lake Oswego, OR. She is looking forward to her fourth year on the 2019 Portland Open Studios Tour and as a guest artist with Local 14 in Portland.

Meet the New Executive Director of the Museum At Warm Springs

Elizabeth Woody by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, PhD AE Feature Writer

2 Hours SE of Bend • www.summerlakehotsprings.com 2 Hours SE of Bend • 541-943-3931 • www.summerlakehotprings.com

or the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and for Native Americans in general, the Museum At Warm Springs (MAWS), “the first tribal museum in the state of Oregon,” proudly stands as an affirmative response to a troubling question: “Can this nation’s indigenous peoples take any meaningful steps on their own initiative, under their own control to halt the erosion of their traditions, the dispersal of their sacred artifacts, the loss of their very identity as a culture” (museumatwarmsprings. org/the-museum-story)? MAWS 25th anniversary in 2018 testifies to the clarity of this affirmation, and its new Executive Director Elizabeth Woody, who took her position in December of that year, further asserts its veracity. The first Native American to be named Oregon's Poet Laureate, published author, visual artist, educator, scholar, community leader and much more, Elizabeth Woody is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, of Yakama Nation descent, and born for the Tódích'íinii (Bitter Water clan) of the Navajo Nation. She holds an Executive Masters of Public Administration degree from Portland State University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities from Evergreen State College, WA, and studied creative writing and two-dimensional arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Sante Fe. Elizabeth has served on important boards, advisory councils and committees, been a Program Officer for the Meyer Memorial Trust, a Program Coordinator for K-12 Education, the

Director of an Indigenous Leadership Program, a Professor of Creative Writing, a Studio Manager for Lillian Pitt Masks, and an Independent Contractor-Writer. All of these incredible accomplishments and service-oriented positions, somehow managed in a single lifetime that has much more to offer, uniquely positions Executive Director Woody to further the Museum at Warm Springs' mission: “to preserve, advance and share the knowledge of the cultural, traditional and artistic heritage of The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs” (museumatwarmsprings.org). Moving back in time to her childhood, Woody constantly explored her natural surroundings. An obsessive drawer, she made art incessantly and honed her observational skills by recording her formative experiences as a scientist would. In contrast to her commendable adult track record, Elizabeth was actually expelled from high school for truancy, even though she was making photographs in the photo lab, unbeknownst to the powers that be. Her vice principal noted she didn’t run with the crowd, and in the yearbooks she was often one of those “not pictured.” Tests indicated Elizabeth would be well suited for “repetitive handwork.”

Executive Director Elizabeth Woody

Such misperceptions of who Elizabeth was and could be are symptomatic of the plight of Native Americans generally speaking and particularly within the American education system. “We’re stigmatized as being a population of under-achievers,” Woody stated during our insightful phone conversation. “Indian students consistently don’t thrive; every year they fall behind,” she acknowledged, but whose fault is this, she asks? Imagine a history of trauma being passed down through generations due to atrocities of subjugation, colonization, dispossession of land, and war, and the answer becomes both clearer and more complicated.

Major components of Woody’s approach towards education and the work she sees herself doing at MAWS can be traced to her profound appreciation for nature as well as to conceptions of identity, such as those cast upon her and her people. “There are so many benefits of educating people about the beauty of Native American culture,” she asserts, adding that people need to move beyond the stereotypical view that “we’re savages and Pocahontas princesses.” Elizabeth further argues that “many of humanity’s greatest civilizations were found in this hemisphere. There is a very important lesson in this: The natural law of our humanity is best expressed through a deep connection to the land. In this respect, we must manage it in a way that benefits all life, not just human life.” As Executive Director of MAWS, Woody’s primary vehicle for accomplishing her mission and that of the museum can be found in exhibitions, lectures and accompanying discussions that raise important questions about and shed much needed understanding upon complex issues. This June 27 through September 28, for example, the museum presents “RESILIENCE: The Boarding School Experience of Warm Springs and beyond,” which explores both the negative and positive impacts such schools had and have on Native American children. Later this year on August 17th, MAWS presents its Huckleberry Harvest and Honoring Dinner, which will take place at the High Desert Museum in Bend. This yearly event represents an important fundraiser for MAWS while also particularly recognizing the extraordinary achievements of Howard Arnett who has served as attorney for the Confederated Tribes of Oregon with Karnopp Petersen, LLP since 1980 and Dr. Virginia Beavert of the Yakama Nation, a Linguist/Scholar and Professor at the University of Oregon whose most recent book is The Gift of Knowledge / Ttnúwit Átawish Nch’inch’imamí: Reflections on Sahaptin Ways. Such exhibitions and events beautifully represent the sentiment Elizabeth Woody conveys about her new position as executive director: “the opportunity to keep learning.” After years of living in New Mexico and Portland and returning to Warm Springs to care for her mother during her final days after being diagnosed with aggressive metastatic cancer, Woody’s uncle expressed the feeling that so many of us thankful for her presence here share: “I’m so grateful you’re home, Lizzy. We need you!” museumatwarmsprings.org

he New Moon on the 2nd sets the tone for the month, inviting new beginnings. A sensitive heart on the 4th could slow down the forward progress. Take time for yourself over the next few days and realize you need to be sure you are doing what you really want. Mercury goes retrograde on the 7th and it becomes necessary to listen to yourself. There are some things changing that you may need to keep to yourself for a bit. Decisions are made on the 9th and forward motion speeds up again. Action taken on the 11th creates change and healing. Let go of your old viewpoints on the 14th and consider something new. The Full Moon on the 16th could bring something that delightfully surprises you. Keep your heart open and do more listening than talking after the 19th. Relationships are changing near the 21st and it’s important to hear what is being said. More conversations on the 24th touch your heart and bring invitations for cooperation. Remember to make yourself the most important

after the 27th as you learn to maneuver relationships in a new way. Your own openness could surprise you on the 29th as you move into new experiences. Be true to yourself on the 30th and appreciate what is being said.

BEND WRITERS WORKSHOP monica@bendwriters.com • bendwriters.com Memoir Writing Workshop September 11-15 Begin writing your memoir — or continue developing your memoir-in-progress — amid the breathtaking beauty of Bend! Our goal is to help you move your craft forward (towards completion, towards publication) in the company of other talented writers. During this four-day communal experience at two lovely houses close to the heart of Bend, we’ll focus on theme, emotional depth, structure, and narrative strategies that capture the fire, fury and joy of our complicated lives. Writer, coach and Oregon State professor Ellen Santasiero helps writers find the right structure for their stories and bring music to their prose. Her workshops are equal parts soulful and lighthearted and brim with expert information, group discussion, writing exercises, supplemental readings, the sharing of work-in-progress, feedback and boundless encouragement! This workshop is appropriate for writers of short memoir pieces as well as those working on book-length projects. We’ll make use of the meeting facilities at Broken Top Club and share most meals together. Along the way, we’ll enjoy walks, craft beers and hikes in the foothills of the mountains and along the shores of the Deschutes River.
