Spirit of Play Art Creativity & Collaboration through Abstract Painting

reativity and collaboration are two pillars of human experience essential to our well-being and survival. Despite this fact, many people struggle to find time for creative and collaborative activities due to the demands of daily life that often keep them “on task” and somewhat isolated from one another. Artist and educator Ken Marunowski has devised a way to integrate people by capitalizing on both their individual and collective creative potential: collaborative abstract painting, what he calls Spirit of Play Art (SOPA)!

rather than a constraint. “People must work together, communicate and evaluate; it’s a form of collective, creative, fun problemsolving through the generative medium of paint,” the artist asserts. Marunowski, who received a BFA in Painting and a BA in French in 1995, an MA in English as a Second Language in 2000, and a PhD in Literacy and Rhetoric Studies in 2006, is a firm believer in life-long learning and a strong advocate for art as a means to bring people together. He taught professional writing for several years at the university level and here in Bend teaches various art classes at Layor Art + Supply and the Bend Art Station. Ken also leads Abstract Paint Nights at Craft Kitchen & Brewery once a month.

Marunowski (left) with Spirit of Play Art participants at Layor Art + Supply The concept behind SOPA is relatively simple while the rewards are potentially quite profound. Marunowski brings a small group of people together (about threeseven), presents them with a medium-to-large blank canvas, lots of acrylic paint and various tools to “Anyone can paint abstractly,” manipulate it, provides a short talk Ken avows, “though not everyone on abstract painting and various can do it well.” Doing it well, examples of compelling abstract however, is not necessarily the works, and guides the group as point of SOPA, the artist explains. they paint together on that single In fact, Marunowski came up canvas. Focus centers upon the with the name “Spirit of Play Art” essential elements of painting: after reading an article criticizing mark-making, color, value and the state of art education in the composition rather than “scenes” in 1980’s United States. In it, Louis the world. The results are striking! Finkelstein, artist, educator No two canvases are ever alike, and and critic, argued that during this is an important principle of undergraduate art education, First Friday with Spirit of Play Art at Layor Art + Supply SOPA that diverges from painting professors should cultivate a “spirit classes where individuals paint a of play” in their students rather stock image according to instructions that more or less guarantee a particular than pushing them to develop a particular style before they are artistically result. With SOPA stunning results are not guaranteed, and this intuitive, mature enough to do so. That phrase, spirit of play, struck Ken as what is risk-taking foray into the unknown, Marunowski believes, is an affordance needed in contemporary society that often instructs youth to become too

serious with respect to their pursuits too soon in life and adults to disregard play as a thing of the past, a relic of their former childhood existence. “It’s simple,” Marunowski proclaims, “I want to bring people together, introduce them to the world of abstract painting, and let them have some fun making a picture that will forever serve as a physical reminder of a moment in their life where they explored something new as a team.” The cover for this issue of Cascade A&E, in fact, was made at Ken’s studio one afternoon by Cascade A&E staff — five people who have little to no experience with abstract painting. With respect to the collaborative painting experience, President / CEO of Cascade Publications, Inc. Jeff Martin explains, “Our team works with weekly deadlines, so everyone is focused on their jobs with little time for ‘cooler talk’. This experience allowed us to learn things about each other that we hadn’t in over five years of working together. It also allowed the new team members to bond with their new colleagues. We had a blast! I would recommend this experience to any business looking for a team-building platform that doesn’t take up a whole day. And you get a fun piece of art to hang at the office that can be enjoyed for years to come!”

And We’ve Done It!

Although businesses are one target audience for SOPA, families and friends can equally benefit from such an experience (think birthday parties, family reunions, wedding celebrations). Bend community staple Anne-Marie Daggett and her girls, Ainslie Contemplations (13) and Mollie Glover (18), had Ken come by their house one fine summer day so they could explore collaborative painting as a family. Regarding the experience, Anne-Marie enthusiastically reports, “I can’t begin to express my gratitude and my amazement for this experience. Ken Marunowski was absolutely incredible with my kids throughout the entire process. He was patient and gave invaluable advice and direction. He has a great sense of humor and is open to whatever happens. The beautiful thing is we have this painting we’ve done that we look at every day knowing we’ve created this together, and we discover new things in it all the time. What a gift: the gift of the process and the end result, both priceless!” Interested in scheduling a Spirit of Play Art event for your family, friends or business?

View Ken’s art online at kennethmarunowski.com or in person at the Cascade School of Music or Eastlake Framing (both in Bend) where many of his abstract paintings are displayed.

Chuck Chamberlain (chchamberlain.com)

Old and Tired, acrylic on masonite, 18”x24” by Chuck Chamberlain

Artist Statement: When I was about 30 years old my sister called and offered me a free “famous artists” painting course. An employee of the firm offering the course, she decided that, rather than take it herself, she would pass it on. I had no previous interest or experience with art, and found the course very challenging. Although I only took four lessons, I was hooked. Living in rural, central New Hampshire, I traveled the back roads, fished, hunted and photographed landscapes of all sorts. I met farmers, lobstermen and antiquers, perusing their property for visions that inspired me. I discovered that researching and trying to recapture these motifs motivated me much more than the prescribed assignments from the free course. Perhaps if I had taken art in high school or was a more cultured young man, this new endeavor might have come more easily, but instead I found it was hard work. Through practice, I actually learned how to see, noticing the multitude of colors in the sky, a tree or a stone wall. I observed light direction and its effects, what is interesting and what is not, what to eliminate or add, and then evaluated and critiqued — quite a challenge indeed, one I enjoy to this very day!

Bio: A native of New England, Chuck Chamberlain became interested in art and painting in his late 20s. He found acrylics to be his preferred medium, which allowed him to exact precision and create the vibrancy of color typical of the regions he captures. Initially Chuck’s style was influenced by his New England contemporaries, demonstrating attention to detail and drama. Drawing upon this tradition, the artist delights his viewers with realistic representations of weathered covered bridges, tired old farm wagons, forgotten Model A’s, deteriorated rural barns, boat-strewn seascapes and antique objects. Chamberlain earned artistic recognition in New England, winning numerous awards at various juried shows, including several people’s choice awards. Following his professional career as a high school counselor in Dover, New Hampshire from 1969-1994, Chuck retired to Arizona and explored new artistic challenges before moving to Bend in 2001. In Bend, he was both a member and co-president of Sagebrushers Art Society. A former member of the Artists’ Gallery at Sunriver, Chuck left it due to health complications that are thankfully no longer present. Now in his 80’s, Chamberlain continues to pursue acrylic painting, representing the solitude and antiquity of rural America as he evokes a quality and pace of life nearly forgotten.

Jane Quale Artist Statement: Growing up in Corvallis in a family of eight, space was tight and silence rare in our home. In search of solitude, I created private hideouts inside and outside our house, which I then beautifully decorated. In summer, my favorite hideout was in the backyard under a huge Camelia where I created my very own secret garden with tin foil lakes and streams, fairy houses and a tiny garden of living sprouts. My art today reflects this past inclination as I aim to create beautiful, quiet spaces or landscapes that beckon the viewer to “come in and enjoy this place for a moment.”

Orange Loves Purple, monotype and chine collé, 25"x19" by Jane Quale

I am primarily a printmaker now and a member of Studio 6000, a fine art print studio in Sisters that fellow artists and I opened when the Bend Art Center closed in August. For the past several years, I’ve been developing a personal aesthetic of abstract minimalism as I explore form and color through the interplay of art, craft, technology and luck that printmaking offers. In July I spent a week at Crown Point Press in San Francisco learning traditional copper plate acid etching methods in their well-equipped etching studio. In addition to further exploring what I learned there, I will continue to make monotypes and singleimage relief prints. I am also just beginning to experiment with figurative work.

Bio: Jane Quale holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Oregon and a JD from The University of San Francisco School of Law. She practiced law in San Francisco and Tucson, Arizona before moving back to Oregon with her husband and twin sons in 2009. Although Jane has never been to art school, she made and studied art her whole life. Living in New York City in the early ‘80’s, Jane spent a year learning oil painting from a friend who was working on her MFA. She paid her in coffee and meals in exchange for weekly critiques and studio “space” in her very tiny studio apartment. Jane copied the paintings of a favorite artist and then revised them to make them her own. That year, the Whitney held a retrospective of Milton Avery’s paintings. Smitten with his work, Jane went to the Whitney as often as she could during that show to study and sketch. She grew to love his colorful but quiet palettes, his simplicity of form, and his abstract tonal planes, qualities to which she still aspires in her own work.

Falling Leaves by Joren Traveller

a rt s Michelle Lindblom, working in acrylic, describes her approach “to making marks” as intuitive. She notes, “Once the process begins, it becomes a visual playground of colors, textures, shapes and movement. As the work evolves, intuition and my subconscious guide the exploration, experimentation and discovery. My imagery portrays the continuous dialogues with my psyche and the nuances of everyday experiences.” Dee McBrien-Lee, HDAL president, paints in acrylic using bold color and texture for a unique look. The artist studied art at SUNY New Paltz in the 70’s and began her abstract journey in 2013. She remarks, “I love getting fully immersed in my work and am fascinated by the process of abstract painting. My goal for Juniper Matriarch, watercolor/batik by Helen Brown

The Oxford Hotel Presents Watercolor & Pastel Paintings of Animals by Vivian Olsen

ivian Olsen, respected and admired for her paintings of animals, notes, “Animals always give me a sense of peace and joy, so I paint what I love — animals.” Her realistic portrayal, in bright pastels or luminous watercolor, of wolves, quail, owls and other local wildlife, reflect the careful attention given to individual personalities and details.

Merganser Mom, oil by Vivian Olsen

As a child growing up in the California countryside near Monterey Bay, she “always knew I would be an artist.” Her deep interest in animals began then and continued to develop years later while living in the mountains of Idaho and working as an assistant to a wildlife biologist. Married, raising three daughters and taking only art classes while attending the University of Idaho, she painted birds and mammals. She then set her goal to become a wildlife artist. With children raised, she attended New Mexico Tech University and earned both an art degree and a master of science degree in biology. Soon after, the artist began her career as an art educator, teaching at Socorro High School in New Mexico, where she lived until retirement. She says, “While teaching art and loving it, I continued to paint as much as possible. Each summer artist friends and I traveled and attended art workshops in China, France, Italy and Spain — those were the best of times!”

Having attained her goal of becoming a wildlife artist and now well-known for her realistic paintings of animals, she advises, “I’ve attained many of my life’s goals and now, with my new goal of writing and painting illustrations for my children’s book of animal stories, I’m immersed in the labor I love. Animal Antics, the name of my book, will be published in early 2020.” Olsen paints full-time and exhibits her artwork from her studio in Eagle Crest. She is active in the art community as a member and past president of both the High Desert Art League and the Plein Air Painters of Oregon, as well as a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Her paintings may be viewed at Hood Avenue Art in Sisters, throughout Central Oregon in various art exhibit venues and on her website at vivianolsen.com.

Leah Wilson of Eugene merges art and science in her paintings and sculptures that explore changing ecosystems. Her work is inspired by her curiosity and the sense of wonder she feels when studying the natural world. The majority of Wilson’s work in this exhibition and since 2012 has focused on a place-based exploration of ecosystem change over time

On Saturday, November 16 at 11am, At Liberty will host an interdisciplinary panel discussion in conjunction with the Time and Place: Ecological Work by Leah Wilson exhibition. The panel, moderated by exhibition curator Fourie, will consist of artist Leah Wilson, Dr. Brooke Penaluna (research fish biologist with Pacific Northwest Research Station, U.S.D.A Forest Service), Dr. Michael Nelson (philosopher and economist who is Oregon State’s lead principal investigator at Andrews) and Louise Shirley (curator of Natural History at the High Desert Museum). The discussion will provide context for Wilson’s artwork and explore the convergence of art and science as ways of investigating the natural world. atlibertyarts.com

BEND EXHIBITS Awbrey Glen Golf Club 2500 Awbrey Glen Dr. 541-385-6011 • awbreyglen.com Painter Karen Bandy will celebrate the colors of Provence, in new cold wax and oil paintings to debut at Awbrey Glen thru November. The paintings are part of a series called C’est Lemon Citron. Bandy says, “It’s an exploration of an ancient medium re-worked into a modern format of cold wax and oil paint. I was driven to paint what I saw and felt after a trip to Provence this last fall. Breaking the landscape down to impressions and colors helped me record the experience and share it with others.” Bandy’s colors are lime green, yellow, orange, magenta pink, pale blue-grey and vibrant purple. The theme of a landscape is present throughout the collection, but abstracted and broken down “to the basics,” Bandy said. “A trip like that can be a whirlwind experience,” Bandy related “I gathered a lot of impressions and noted them in my brain. They often don’t take form until I try to record them on paper, canvas or panel.” If you’re not familiar with the cold wax process, it’s not surprising, Bandy said. Few know that ancient Roman frescoes were painted in cold wax and pigments, and survive to this day. Bandy saw many on her journey into southern France. Modern oil and cold wax techniques used by Bandy create texture not typically found in abstract paintings. They don’t look like ancient frescoes in subject matter, but have an ancient, layered, weathered look. Bend Senior Center 1600 SE Reed Market Rd.

Six years later, the JapaneseAmerican artist and his family were torn from their home under Executive Order 9066 and spent three and a half years imprisoned in a remote High Desert camp. During those years, Fujii continued his artistic practice, documenting the stark conditions of daily life.

Rich in historical and ethnic detail, and featuring iconic and beloved songs such as Sunrise, Sunset, If I Were a Rich Man and Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Fiddler on the Roof has won nine Tony Awards since its 1964 debut, and has become a core staple of the musical theatre canon.

Their goal is to not only educate and inspire students to develop their talents, but to stretch their abilities above and beyond expectation. Many of the shows are based off historical events with an emphasis on strong moral values and family friendly entertainment.

Bend Woman to Lead Immersive Cultural Retreat to

literature

Cuba S

arah Cyr, a Bend-based writing teacher, will lead a five-night retreat in Havana, Cuba this January. Called J2, the retreat is designed for travelers looking for culture and adventure while learning a new approach to writing.

Mornings will be spent grounded in writing practice, before setting off to explore an art gallery or wandering an off-the-beatenpath Havana neighborhood. Evenings will include front-row seats to some of Havana’s coolest, most-contemporary bands or a show by one of the most edgy theater companies. A pilgrimage will be made to Finca Vigía, the house where Ernest Hemingway wrote some of his most beloved books. Traveling with Otros Ojos adheres to one of the still-approved travel categories from the US to Cuba called “Support of the Cuban People” because the trip utilizes 100 percent private businesses that are part of the creative and entrepreneurial communities its cofounders — an American painter and a Cuban guitarist couple — are a part of. All documentation necessary is provided by the travel Sarah Cyr company.

Cyr teaches a style of writing that blends prompt-based writing sessions with meditation. She’s offered classes in Central Oregon for the past five years through COCC’s Continuing Education program and at Hawthorn Healing Arts. For the retreat, Cyr will partner with the travel group Otros Ojos (“others’ eyes” in Spanish), known for its high access into Cuba’s contemporary art, food and music scene.

Retreat dates are January 22-27. The cost is $2,195 per person inclusive of lodging, meals, in-country transportation and arts access. Register at sarahcyr.com/workshops

Calm before the

Storm

at the Artists’ Gallery by DENI PORTER — Artists’ Gallery Sunriver

review of most personal schedules will reveal a dramatic increase of activity during the holiday season. There is, however, one sweet spot in November that is the quintessential “calm before the storm” that is just before Thanksgiving. What better way to enjoy this time than with the artists at the Artists’ Gallery in the Village of Sunriver? All days are good but mark your calendar for November 9 from 4-6pm when you can enjoy some great company, food and beverages. Perhaps a chilled white wine or a cold local brew while you finalize your shopping.

GivingThanks

A great gift for someone who you love would be a piece by photographer Richard Bacon. Bacon is new to the gallery. His photos scream about his passion to capture the peaks, rivers, lakes and waterfalls of Oregon in the best lighting possible. Frequent requests from Gallery patrons for images of local scenes and mountain views will be easy to provide. The artist also provides custom print options and commissions.

Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery Presents Artist

David Wachs

avid Wachs, residing in Bend and environs since ’92, chose the area for its spectacular beauty. Following the sale of his Central Oregon ranch, he traveled throughout the West, exploring from Taos, New Mexico to Big Sky, Montana, Leavenworth, Washington and other areas. While his rural, alpine travels yielded great reference for new artwork, he choose to return to Bend as, “it is truly the best place I’ve found.” The artist’s exhibit at Sunriver Lodge reflects his affection for Central Oregon. His images, including Bachelor Cornice and Pinnacles and the North Side of Jefferson reveal his “solemn commitment to the landscape that inspires me to search out these unique organic forms that become my compositions. I distill and translate random and chaotic patters found in the wild into images that communicate my passion for the land I explore.” The artist employs a “loose, gestural approach to surface quality and texture, painting from a peripheral perspective not unlike what you might see out of the corner of your eye while driving.” His paintings invite both close observation, noting harsh edges, separation of colors and defined brush strokes, as well as distant contemplation of sweeping, vast areas such as those of the Cascade Range. Involved in art from an early age and citing influences ranging from designer Mossimo Vignelli and painters Wayne Thiebaud to Gerhard Richter, Wachs studied at Portland’s Museum Art School, Indiana State University and finished at Montana State University, Bozeman. His work appears in private and public collections including Citi Bank, Bank of the Cascades, U.S. Bank (Portland), MODA (Bend), Bend Bulletin and Oregon Public Broadcasting. His artwork was also recently featured in the offices of Bend Magazine.

Sunriver Library 56855 Venture Lane • 541-312-1080 • deschuteslibrary.org Featuring artists Jean Lubin and Laurel Werhane. Jean’s oil paintings reflect her love for scenes of nature, wildlife and her specialty, equestrian art. Born in California, Jean grew up in American Samoa and Juneau, Alaska, where she developed a passion for wildlife and the beauty of nature, and the long-lasting influences of these far-away lands are at the heart of her artistic spirit. Jean’s paintings have been juried into shows throughout the West, and after nomination into membership at the Salmagundi Club, Jean enjoyed exhibiting in New York City. After acceptance into three national shows in Kentucky, Jean was elected into membership in the American Academy of Equine Art. Most recently, Jean’s painting was accepted into Art in the West at the High Desert Museum, and now a member of the High Desert Art League, Jean enjoys exhibiting throughout Oregon.

sunriver Specializing in equine portrait commissions, Jean’s studio and home are in Bend. Jean Lubin’s art is exhibited thru January 3, 2020. jeanlubin.com. GoodLife Glass by Laurel is exhibiting thru January 9, 2020 with an artist’s reception on November 16 at 2pm; with Laurel speaking at 2:15pm. Laurel is a Redmond fused glass artist who began her adventure with stained and fused glass in the mid 1980’s. Nearly 30 years later, she returned to her favorite pursuit creating fused glass art works at her home studio. Laurel blends a number of techniques by adding screen prints, glass enamels and powdered glass into her fused glass designs. Her latest pieces are of greenhouse glass or float glass. Laurel’s future plan is to work extensively with this medium, which is not recyclable and often discarded into landfills. Float glass has an organic feel in the textures, color and flow of the glass as it heats and cools. Laurel also designs memorial keepsakes; fused glass pendants, candle holders, sun catchers and plates sprinkled with the cremation ashes of loved ones. She meets with the family and customizes her art to fit their special sense of style and design. Memorial keepsakes help heal the heart and keep memories close.

ou may be familiar with Andrew Marlin from his involvement with Chapel Hill, North Carolina duo Mandolin Orange. As the songwriter for the band, Andrew has become known as a gifted lyricist, producing powerful yet subtle, thoughtfully crafted songs. With Mandolin Orange, Andrew has toured the world, gracing famous stages including the Ryman Auditorium, Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Newport Folk Festival, to name just a few. For this show, Andrew will be joined by his Buried In A Cape recording band Christian Sedelmyer, Eli West and Clint Mullican. This cast of players have history with a list of roots music luminaries including Jerry Douglas, Bill Frisell, Tim O’ Brien and John Reischman, alongside their acclaimed solo projects. Buried In a Cape, Andrew’s first instrumental solo release, debuted in September 2018. The album is an eclectic collection of his instrumental work, modeled after one of his heroes — John Hartford — who as legend has it, was buried in a Batman cape. The recording session for this project was scheduled on a whim at the Butcher Shoppe in Nashville, with Eli West (guitar, banjo), Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle) and Clint Mullican (bass). The compositions highlight Andrew’s skills as an instrumentalist, while showcasing that his writing skills are not confined simply to poignant lyricism. Although the tunes have been making cameos in Mandolin Orange sets, these winter west coast shows will provide an outlet to experience Buried in its full, instrumental glory. With Buried, Andrew follows in the footsteps of his previous accolades with MO. The Mandolin Cafe said, “Marlin joins his heroes as a mandolinist of note, and a talent for the ages,” while Red Line Roots praised the album saying “Buried In a Cape is (in my opinion) the best record to be released in 2018. For those of you who are already fans of instrumental music, this will be your go-to for years to come. For those who are not fans of Andrew Marlin of Mandolin Orange instrumental music, listen to December 11 | 7pm this album and then I’ll say The Belfry, Sisters ‘welcome to the club’.” andrewmarlin.com • sistersfolkfestival.org • belfryevents.com Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | November 2019

Spice Merchant’s Tips

t’s that time of year again, when all the Holiday recipes and baking spices get their chance to break out of the spice cabinet and show off. As your local spice merchant, it is my duty to remind you that freshly ground spices will make all the difference in the flavors of your holiday cooking. The flavor of spices comes from the essential oils that are trapped in the root, bark, seed or leaf of the plant when they are dried. When those oils dry out over time, especially with ground spices, you lose the flavor. The flavor of spices is primarily attributed to the smell of those oils so old spices = less flavor.

This time of year it is always a good idea to replace any of your powdered baking spices that you have had for over a year. I recommend purchasing these baking spices (nutmeg, cloves, allspice, cardamom, ginger, etc.) in small quantities if it is something that you do not use very often. If you want to save a little money, don’t be afraid to use a good spice blend. Check the ingredients of the blend to make sure that it contains quality spices and no fillers, but this is an excellent way to boost the flavor of any dish without having to break the bank on a bunch of individual spices that you may not use very often. Most importantly, enjoy your time in the kitchen with family and friends enjoying all the flavors of the holiday season. savoryspiceshop.com

He received a degree in art education from the University of Oregon and has lived in Central Oregon the past 40 years. When he retired, Goodman was able to pursue his interest in painting and sculpture. His focus during the past years has been oil paintings of landscapes. He strives to have his paintings capture his personal impressions of a scene from memory and observation. His intent, and constant challenge, is to distill and simplify nature in order to convey the mood and feeling he intends. If he is able to communicate to the viewer his sensibility of a particular moment, he feels he has succeeded. Goodman also currently has a public art sculpture on display in Redmond. Linda Barker of SecondTour Design has been creating jewelry from repurposed materials for many years and experiences successful shows throughout Oregon and Washington. Her newest passion in recycling and reusing is in creating fashionable upcycled clothing from thrift store and garage sale finds. Her newest line, Upcycled Couture, will include examples of refashioning used clothing into a variety of fashion styles including Boho Chic, Langenlook, Post-Apocalyptic, Street Wear, Ethnic, Sophisticated Casual and Goth.
