Curator’s Choice Analee Fuentes Hosmer Brook Trout, 2019, oil, 60” x 48” Analee Fuentes’s Mexican-American heritage instilled in her an appreciation of the bright colors and rich patterning that is the lens through which she views Oregon’s natural beauty. She makes large-scale paintings that are the result of a detailed and lengthy study of beautiful native fish. Straddling abstraction and representation, these paintings are an exuberant tribute to the fantastic color, patterning and spirit of Northwest fish. Analee’s work has been exhibited at the Maude Kerns Art Center in Salem, Oregon (2019), The Miller Forestry Center (2017), the Ngapuhi Biennial in Kaikohe, New Zealand (2014) and the Portland Art Museum (2013). She won Best of Show at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Umpqua Valley Arts Association Art Show, Roseburg, Oregon (2018). Analee’s work is in public and private collections in the United States and New Zealand.
Jury’s Choice Sarah B. Hansen To Be Free, 2019, mixed media, 30” x 22” Sarah B. Hansen is a Bend artist who paints a wide array of subjects, concentrating on nature and using photos from her travels as source material. Her work explores the contrast between control and spontaneity. Sarah’s use of strong composition and color theory emphasizes the organization of beauty rising out of chaos, inviting the viewer to come close and contemplate. She hopes to use her art as a platform to preserve our wild spaces. Sarah was the chair and program developer of the Art-in-a-Box art literacy program for children, exhibits regularly at Northwest Watercolor Society exhibitions and is a workshop instructor at the Sagebrushers Art Society in Bend. Among other awards, she recently won Honorable Mention in Expressions West 2019 at the Coos Art Museum.

Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin St. Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing, invites the public to First Friday, August 2, 5-8pm, featuring paintings by noted artists CJ Anderson and Janice Druian. The artists will attend the August 2 opening. Anderson, a retired psychotherapist and life-long artist, recalls childhood on the “broad plains of Montana, far from the influence of traditional art.” Her grandmother (a 1916 watercolorist) encouraged the Summer Storm, oil on canvas by Janice Druian young artist to create and value art. She fondly recalls “new crayons and ‘unlined’ paper as her greatest joy.” Druian, award winning Central Oregon artist known for her landscapes of the vast and open spaces of the high desert, takes her work in a new direction — simplifying and putting strong emphasis on the key elements that resonate in each scene. Druian’s expressionistic oils appeared at the invitation only, prestigious exhibit of the esteemed Arizona Mountain Oyster Club, noted to display “the finest in Western art…”, and the juried competition Yosemite Renaissance at the Yosemite National Park Museum. Her 2019 Oregon exhibits include the High Desert Museum “Art of the West,” the Favell Museum and, in August, the Maryhill Museum in Washington. 117 Roosevelt Ave.,541-617-0900 Bend, OR Billye Turner curates exhibitions for Franklin Crossing, open 7am-7pm.

Internationally-recognized Pacific Northwest artist Royal Nebeker frequently used the metaphor of the Night Window to describe the intention behind his work. “This process of painting resembles looking through a night window. I peer out, observing and at the same time see the reflection of the interior conditions of my own reality,” said the late Nebeker. “It is my intent that as the viewer peers into my painting, he will not only see a visual record of meaning in my life, but will discover the reflection of meaning in their own, as in a night window.” Bend Art Center 550 SW Industrial Way, Ste. 180 541-330-8759 • bendartcenter.org Curated by Julie Winter, the group exhibition, Sense of Order, features Central Oregon artists Sarah Helen More, Shin Yeon Jeon and Susan Porteous. The objectives of this exhibition are to highlight the work of these artists, and examine their sensibilities about order and the perception of how they achieve order (or disorder) within their work. How does order make us feel? How does disorder make us feel? What Sence of Order, artwork by Shin Yeon Jeon, Sarah Helen More and Susan Porteous is the sensation of order? The color of order, the texture of order, the shape of order? Each artist explores these questions through experimentation within their work, and is driven by the sensibilities that shape their internal and external sense of order. Our experiences are bound by our sensibilities, what looks right-on to one looks off to another. Sarah’s brightly colored and heavily patterned paintings and drawings recall traditional American quilt patterns, stained glass windows and colorful mosaics. Her obsession with color and form began at a young age when she discovered that creating her own geometric coloring pages in school eased her anxiety and brought her immense joy. Each piece is created by hand, without the use of tape or masking films, using gouache on paper or oil on canvas. Her work deals with the interaction of color and pattern as well as the complicated relationship between massproduction and the handmade. Crafted without the use of tape, each piece appears to

However, upon closer inspection, one sees evidence of the hand in the form of slight human imperfections that reveal the true nature of each object. This process of making provides Sarah with both a meditative and dynamic experience. Shin is stylistically influenced by traditional Asian painting and brushwork and particularly interested in the female forms. Through her figures, Shin Yeon explores the underlying universal aspects of humanity. She does this by solidifying what is fleeting, such as with facial expressions. More than simply joy, sadness or anger, complex emotions are depicted by Shin Yeon in a manner that requires the audience to reflect and speculate into the inner thoughts of these inanimate figures. Susan explores both sculptural and traditionally bound books while investigating issues of form, content, word, and image using handmade and commercial production methods. Books and language have been a constant source of inspiration throughout her practice and Susan often uses found books both as subject matter and raw material. By cutting, tearing, folding, gluing, or rebinding the pages into a new form she creates a relationship between the content of the original book and the shape and structure of the resulting work, adding an extra layer of meaning and complexity. In this way, the books become sensual objects no longer able to be read but instead seen as an immediate and cohesive whole. Sense of Order on display August 2-7 with an opening reception Friday, August 2, 5-8pm, artists talk Wednesday, August 14, 6-7:30pm and a closing reception Saturday, August 17.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-382-8436 The Oxford Hotel presents Kristine Cooper with brightly colored, abstract paintings opening August 1 - 25. The artist will attend the public champagne reception on First Friday, August 2 from 5-7:30 pm. Kristine Copper, a native of Seattle, grew Palms, acrylic on canvas by up creating art — scrapbooking, beading Kristine Cooper and painting murals. She notes that “art is an integral part” of her life from her childhood when she covered her sidewalks with chalk through her present paintings of vibrantly colored, abstract shapes on canvas. In early paintings she explored florals, landscapes and the figure. Her study of art at Seattle Pacific University (SPU) further refined her skill. Graduating with a fine arts degree from SPU, she continued experimentation with abstract expressionism and, seeking change, moved to Bend. Presently working with bright acrylics on canvas, she creates subtle backgrounds overpainted with layers of oblong rounds, small dotted swarm-like stripes, large strips of color, and paint trails running down the canvas, all individuated but collectively building energy. In more simplified compositions, swaths of bright white provide background for sparse but wide strokes of color, some running throughout the canvas. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule with additional information available at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com Peterson/Roth Gallery 206 NW Oregon Ave., Ste. 1 541-633-7148 petersonroth.com Please join us Friday, August 2 at Peterson/Roth Gallery for an evening featuring local artist Donald Yatomi and Idaho artist Tyler Swain.

to her lifelong penchant for daydreaming and a bent toward examining past and present influences in her life. In the Midwest, Lindblom had many solo exhibitions at venues and galleries around the region. She became a member of the National Association of Women Artists in 1994 and since 2010 has been juried into six exhibitions, four in New York City, plus one each in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Since her arrival in Bend, she has become involved in the local art scene. Besides exhibiting at Red Chair Gallery, she has participated in exhibitions at the Sunriver Resort, Franklin Crossing, Townsend’s Teahouse, Bend Art Center, UU Fellowship and through the High Desert Art League.

Showcasing artwork at an intersection which evokes a question of time, emotion and mystery; that sense of place which dwells in each of us, Shetterly welcomes reflection and invites the viewer to imagine when boundaries begin to fade and the simplification of the imagery is discovered. “When truly engaged in art making, time stands still. Lost in creativity and exploration, the artistic vision evolves...moving forward or backward...and perhaps it begins anew with a spark of innovation. Motivated to be present in this state of discovery I savor the journey traveled in the creation of art.” SuZ Morrow Studio Willow Lane Artists Studio 400 SE Second St. 541-640-2414 SuZ Morrow offers original paintings in acrylic and oil of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

AE@CASCADEAE.COM 4-8pm during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk at Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill District. For this show Katherine was inspired to create art commemorating some of the places she hiked and camped during the first year she moved to Central Oregon in 1996. Coming from dry New Mexico desert country, she was blown away by the many beautiful snow-capped mountains, sparkling lakes and emerald pine trees found here. “Recently I came across an old backpack that still had a journal I kept whenever I hiked to a new Oregon landmark. For this show, I decided to read a random entry, then paint an image reflecting the excitement and wonder my words described about the beauty I was witnessing,” she explains. The altered lens in this case represents the nuance, the nostalgia, the growth and experience that Katherine has amassed since that first year she laid eyes on Central Oregon 23 years ago. Village Interiors 750 NW Lava Rd.541-389-6515 Featuring artist Katie Seems with a reception First Friday, August 2 from 5-8pm. “My inspiration comes from growing up in Bend,” says Katie. “Any child that has grown up in Bend will absolutely know The Boat at Harmon Park located at 1100 NW Harmon Blvd. In fact, this boat was so famous to us Bend kids that we only ever knew the playground as The Boat Park and to this day, kids and adults alike still call it that. I The Boat Park, oil, 36” x 36” by Katie Seems was inspired to create a piece that is still present in this town, but with an Old Bend feel. Bend has changed so much since I was a kid. Our little town has grown and welcomed so many newcomers that what I’d like to do with this series is introduce people to what Bend used to be. To encompass what still remains. And the perspective I’ve used is from the eyes of a child. This boat was not just a boat, but in my memory was a grand ship that my friends and I sailed many summer days.”

The Stability of Art for

“M
y grandmother once said, ‘Your way was made through our tears and prayers. Don’t ever forget and think that your success was just because of your efforts alone.’ Now, I have become the link between our past and our future until the one who will replace me comes along.” ~Vanessa Paukeigope Jennings, Gila River Pima and Kiowa Apache Elder We’re all aware of the dramatic changes taking place in society today and much of that awareness is due to becoming hyperaware, a condition fueled by digital technology. The meta awareness bombardment can get to be overwhelming for those of us who are over 50 years old; for those under 30, it appears to be the case that frenetic sensory input, along with relentless updating, has become an everyday dynamic of life. The effects of sensory overload particularly impacts the oldest intact cultures of humankind, the Indigenous Societies. The gargantuan challenge now facing Indigenous Peoples everywhere consists of attempting to hold onto critical aspects of their culture, Santa Fe Indian Market Opening Ceremony

Unrepresented Artists of Central Oregon, #9 by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, Ph.D. AE Feature Writer
Susan Trewartha Papanic Bio: Susan was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, and received her BA and MA degrees in Art Education from the university there. While in graduate school, she was asked to go to Nigeria for four months to illustrate textbooks for Northern Nigeria Education Project.That experience proved to be both mentally and visually exciting and enriching, and led to an interest in aboriginal art. Susan has also traveled extensively in North and South America, England, Europe and New Zealand, all influencing her art work. Susan taught art in secondary public schools all over the country for over 12 years and has also exhibited and received awards for her art work in several states in the U.S. A retirement move to Bend ten years ago for her and her husband George was a happy and fortuitous one as it satisfied her love of outdoor life, mountains and art. A big plus was discovering the A6 Print Studio / Bend Art Center and studying art under the mentorship of Pat Clark, who, along with her woodcut professor Ray Gloeckler, is one of the finest teachers she’s ever encountered. Artist Statement: Although I’ve often worked in watercolor and oil painting, drawing is my preferred art medium. In addition to my love for drawing, I’ve returned to and found great satisfaction in woodcut printing. I’m fascinated by the various techniques and possibilities for mark-making utilized in this printmaking medium, generally subtractive rather than additive ones. Most of my woodcuts are printed in black ink on white paper and are all hand printed. My artwork is seldom meant to convey a theme, specific purpose or emotion. I find my ideas in a variety of places, sometimes in parts of larger compositions, a rock, a landscape, or images found in concrete sidewalks. Often my image is simply based upon what happens as I start with one idea and play with it until it morphs into something more interesting, a very process oriented approach. I am attracted to strong contrast in my compositions, especially varied lights alongside intense darks and large areas interspersed with minute marks. The majority of my recent work is totally abstract; if there is subject matter, it is abstracted, frequently to the point of being unidentifiable. What interests me most is the composition on paper: the movement, shapes and lines, and how they come together as an interesting whole.

Helen Loeffler Bio: Helen Loeffler has sold real estate in Silicon Valley, trained show horses in Pebble Beach, worked in a cannery and a photo studio, written for magazines, baled hay and currently co-owns an electronic instrumentation business. She has been married twice, has two sons and two Bernese Mountain dogs that accompany her on walks up Pilot Butte twice a week. Helen has always made art around the edges of her life. As a self-taught artist, she learned that anything is possible when there’s no one present to Tuscan Landscape, woodcut print, 12” x 12” by Susan Trewartha Papanic
say, “It’s not done that way.” In 2012 Helen joined Atelier 6000 and began a journey into fine art printmaking. Taking almost every class offered, she traded the moniker “selftaught” for “Atelier 6000 trained.” Founder Pat Clark has been a profound influence on Helen’s work as have many A6 members. Her favorite printmaking techniques include woodcut, photopolymer electro-etch, monotype, chinecolle and collagraph. Most recently, Helen has taken encaustic classes on Maui and will return this fall for advanced studies. For her encaustic series, she incorporates prints into the wax paint to further layer and enhance the resultant image. Artist Statement: I’ve made art since I was able to hold one of those immense green pencils. My creative efforts garnered my parents’ attention and involved lots of glitter. I gave my art away accepting that some of myself was lost in the transaction and bartered my art to exchange bits of me for what I needed. Eventually, art became a way of examining the world. As I raised two chronically ill children, art provided a survival mechanism. My art took on whatever form would fit into the confines of my life. I taught myself painting, drawing, sculpting, and book making. While helpless in my life, I could make something to hold in my hands, a life line of sorts. I use my art to see myself, a reflection of life’s puzzle pieces that I form into a coherent whole. Some use therapists, priests or tea leaves for succor, absolution and direction; I use art. My answer whenever facing the unknown is simple: Make more art! Examining the juxtaposition of opposites – natural /mechanical, male/female, light/dark – I attempt to coax the truth ever closer, whispering so as not to startle the wonder, the heartbreak, the mystery of our existence. I take the most impossible moments and press them into art.

A r t i n t h e Atriu m , F rank lin Crossing Pr e s e nt s Artists
CJ Anderson & Janice Druian
C
J Anderson, a retired psychotherapist and life-long artist, recalls childhood on the “broad plains of Montana, far from the influence of traditional art.” Her grandmother (a 1916 watercolorist) encouraged the young artist to create and value art. She fondly recalls “new crayons and ‘unlined’ paper as her greatest joy.” The young artist studied design at the Kansas City Art Institute and, returning to Montana, earned a degree in Art Education from Northern Montana College. Her continued education led to teaching art to children in the Blue Sky Schools of the region. The experience of utilizing art in working with children encouraged her earning a Master of Science from Montana State in 1988, becoming a psychotherapist. Moving in 1990 to Bend, she practiced psychotherapy helping to heal abused children, often with art, at the Kids Center through Deschutes County Mental Health. In 2004 she began private practice as a psychotherapist, retiring in 2014. Upon her retirement, she returned to painting. Throughout all, art continues to be an important part of Anderson’s life and Summer Storm, oil on canvas by Janice Druian identity, whether teaching, making pottery or creating paintings which have become “increasingly layered and textured…sometimes reflecting struggles, sometimes just being whimsical…transposing emotions into color, form and texture,” always filled with her energy and talent. Janice Druian, award winning Central Oregon artist known for her landscapes of the vast and open spaces of the high desert, takes her work in a new direction — simplifying and putting strong emphasis on the key elements that resonate in each scene. “My paintings are about capturing an emotion. By simplifying, I am emphasizing the impact of the land on me. Whether it is a tumultuous sky or the threat of an impending storm, I am reducing other elements to focus on that one key aspect.” The artist resides on a remote edge of the Deschutes River canyon. The 180 degree vantage point of big sky and panoramic views of the Smith Rock area influence her art. From this high desert vista, the artist observes the burning sun upon the juniper and rocks casting sharp shadows throughout the day; the twilight hour images when the brilliant setting sun, casting its long shadows, changes the landscape; “the haunting beauty of nocturnes when the delicate moon glow softly illumines the beauty of the uncluttered west.” Her skilled paintings feature these memorable scenes. Druian’s expressionistic oils appeared at the invitation only, prestigious exhibit of the esteemed Arizona Mountain Oyster Club, noted to display “the finest in Western art…”, and the juried competition Yosemite Renaissance at the Yosemite National Park Museum. Her 2019 Oregon exhibits include the High Desert Museum “Art of the West,” the Favell Museum and, in August, the Maryhill Museum in Washington. Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing, invites the public to First Friday, August 2, 5-8pm, featuring paintings by noted artists CJ Anderson and Janice Druian. The artists will attend the August 2 opening. No Agenda, mixed media on canvas by CJ Anderson

A BrightPlace for Artists by KELSEY SWENSON AE Intern Feature Writer
I
n the art world, getting started is always the hardest part. Bright Place Collective and Gallery owner Stuart Breidenstein started his business with limited formal art education. He gained experience over the years by taking art classes and working retail growing up. “It’s not as easy as
Stuart Breidenstein 1 Photo courtesy of Stuart Breidenstein
you think” to start an art collective, he says. But his passion for the art community and retail knowledge are central to his success. Starting Bright Place in early 2017, he says, “was kind of natural for me.” Bright Place is an artist collective in East Central Bend. The dozen or so artists who work there in their rented spaces are surrounded by an eclectic environment of food carts, a brewery, a decorated old school bus and more. Stuart started Bright Place with a bold vision, and that vision just kept growing. Before he launched the collective, he rented a space at the Workhouse, another artist collective just down the street next to Sparrow Bakery. There he designed his jewelry, leather and vintage swimsuits. The Workhouse gets a lot of foot traffic from Sparrow Bakery, but Stuart says he moved because he wanted to start his own art collective with more space both inside and outside and a flexible, sociable environment. But he now recognizes, “I didn’t realize how good I had it,” at the Workhouse in terms of foot traffic. He no longer has Sparrow next door to bring in
customers, and he doesn’t have as many affluent art buyers in the neighborhood compared to Bend’s west side and downtown galleries, where most large, expensive pieces of art are sold. Instead, Bright Place is nestled in an industrial area on the east side away from the crowds and most art buyers. But if you walk into the garden leading to the gallery, it’s a completely different world than the one that surrounds it. Its humble exterior says nothing about the bursting colors and social scene that lies at the center of the buildings. In the art world, it’s not uncommon for artists like Stuart to move into an industrial building, renovate it and “make it a scene,” he says. And that’s exactly what he did. In April 2019, four food carts moved into the large space, complementing the brewery, the elaborate wildflower gardens, the DIY cave for welding and woodwork and the renovated school bus. There’s even an area to play cornhole games. With all the additions to this modern hangout space, Bright Place captivates more than local artists. Stuart tries to make Bright Place the best environment for his artists. He acknowledges that many “artists are broke” and “trying to be an artist is really tough.” He runs the place with a humble attitude and a passion for supporting the artist scene. “We try to stay out of everyone’s business, but be supportive. We hope everyone will be supportive of each other.” The space is casual. Artists can use their rented space as frequently or infrequently as they choose, there are no strict rules. Artists can sell their pieces
throughout the building, making for a unique customer experience. But not everything about the business is casual. Stuart recognizes the value of setting personal goals and limitations. “There needs to be limitations to push the boundaries of creativity,” he says. At his annual 20 Dollar Art Show, he sets the goal of creating 100 more pieces of art than the previous year. According to his website brightplacegallery. com, this “gets artists to think about creating original pieces quickly, cheaply and efficiently. You may need to create formulas to accomplish this.” Last October, Bright Place created 900 pieces of art, 800 more than the first year of the event. Bright Place’s featured gallery artist, Pam Nichols, also sets goals for herself to push her boundaries. She laughs and says, “I wanted to prove to my tax accountant that I was a real artist.” In 2006, she made the goal of doubling her art sales every year. And it worked, she says. Now, Pam, who is from Perth, Australia, is a renowned artist with her art shown in Australia, Arizona and throughout the Pacific Northwest. She has developed art shows in Portland and teaches many art classes. The most successful artists at Bright Place and elsewhere, Stuart says, give everything to their art and don’t try to work full-time at another job. Successful artists are in “a competition for people’s eyes,” he adds. Bright Place gets people to visit and see the work of its artists without buying much advertising. Instead, the collective hosts many events and uses social media to attract art buyers and art lovers. For an example of how creative they are on social media, check out the Instagram account of Bright Place’s cat “mayor” at @ leonardofbend. Bright Place I Photos by Kelsey Swenson

Karen Maier, Photographer
A
child of the west, Karen Maier, moved often during her upbringing. Her father was an Air Force pilot and had grown up himself in the mountains of Idaho. Her artist mother was a painter from a young age and relished capturing the flowers she grew in her garden as well as the landscapes she loved. The family explored out of the way places; fishing, hiking and enjoying the wilderness. This early exposure to the natural world would ultimately come to define her life. Karen completed her undergraduate degree in Cultural Anthropology and her masters in Social Work while living in Utah. She lived and worked in Utah, Wyoming and Texas. During this time she raised two daughters. She and her girls would camp on vacations, exploring state and National Parks at every opportunity. After completing a career in clinical social work, Karen returned to school to study photography. She pursued commercial photography for several years where she gained expertise in photographing jewelry and products used in advertising. Throughout this period she continued to feed her passion for landscape photography. The die had been cast. She was published in multiple periodicals including The Austin American Statesman, Austin, Celebrate the New Millennium and Texas Highways magazine, among others. She moved to Oregon with her husband 14 years ago and considers Oregon her adopted home. Now she expresses her love of nature in both macro and landscape photography. She is currently working on a series called Abandoned Places — the first piece in that series being The Bath House taken in Summer Lake, Oregon. She has recently exhibited work at the Oregon Trail Museum and Oregon State University. She is a member of the High Desert Art League and is active with the Art Resource Team of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon, which juries and installs multiple art shows during the year.

M
ichelle Lindblom has always favored abstract art, perhaps due to her lifelong penchant for daydreaming and a bent towards examining past and present influences in her life. Her elegant monotypes, often embossed with local botanical specimens, and acrylic paintings, with sweeping streaks of color, will be showcased at Red Chair Gallery in August.
Cultivating Flow by Michelle Lindblom
Red Chair Gallery Artist
Michelle Lindblom by JULIA KENNEDY COCHRAN of Red Chair Gallery
She admits that her creative method is definitely unconventional. As a child growing up in North Dakota, Lindblom was a daydreamer at school, a habit which sometimes was punished. As an adult, she uses daydreaming to imagine scenes and situations that she translates into art. “I don’t have any preconceived ideas about what I will create,” she says. She lets subconscious thoughts influence her work and often has to view her finished pieces for a while before she can give them a title. She explains that her current series of paintings, called Shedding, is about “getting rid of old beliefs that are not relevant to me now.” Writing a blog about her thoughts on life and art has made her more aware of what drives her creativity.
Lindblom, who has an undergraduate degree in visual art from the University of New Orleans and a master of fine arts from the University of North Dakota, taught art for 24 years at Bismarck State College. She and her husband had always dreamed of living in the Northwest and eventually moved to Bend in 2015. Here, she finds that the outdoors influences her work much more than before. Her palette, which frequently leans towards oranges and yellows, is becoming “more subtle and nuanced” with the addition of colors like magenta and turquoise. “I’m interpreting my surroundings much more, not just landscapes but my interactions with people as well.” She often picks flowers, leaves or grasses to add to her monotypes. Bendites are more accepting of her non-traditional approach to art, she says. “I have enlightening discussions with people here about my work. They want to know my process as well as how my imagery evolves.” In the Midwest, Lindblom had many solo exhibitions at venues and galleries around the region. She became a member of the National Association of Women Artists in 1994 and since 2010 has been juried into six exhibitions, four in New York City, plus one each in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Since her arrival in Bend, she has become involved in the local art scene. Besides exhibiting at Red Chair Gallery, she has participated in exhibitions at the Sunriver Resort, Franklin Crossing, Townsend’s Teahouse, Bend Art Center, UU Fellowship and through the High Desert Art League. Recently, she contributed work to an exhibit at Layor Art Supply to benefit Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center. michellelindblom.com • mlindblom@michellelindblom.com

The Oxford Hotel Presents Acrylic Paintings by
Kristine Cooper
K
ristine Copper, a native of Seattle, grew up creating art — scrapbooking, beading and painting murals. She notes that “art is an integral part” of her life from her childhood when she covered her sidewalks with chalk through her present paintings of vibrantly colored, abstract shapes on canvas. In early paintings she explored florals, landscapes and the figure. Her study of art at Seattle Pacific University (SPU) further refined her skill. Graduating with a fine arts degree from SPU, she continued experimentation with abstract expressionism and, seeking change, moved to Bend. Living in Bend, she writes, “When life gives you mountains, you should make the most of it!” She finds “sparks of inspiration everywhere” and the wonder of leaving the bustle of Seattle for the quietude. Mountain hikes and paddle boarding bring her time to refine ideas. Also, the “meditative process of painting’’ reveals each painting’s “story or “feeling.” Presently working with bright acrylics on canvas, she creates subtle backgrounds over-painted with layers of oblong rounds, small dotted swarm-
like stripes, large strips of color, and paint trails running down the canvas, all individuated but collectively building energy. In more simplified compositions, swaths of bright white provide background for sparse Palms, acrylic on canvas Strawberries, acrylic and mixed but wide strokes of color, media on canvas some running throughout the canvas. Cooper notes, “The combination creates these visual diaries that have layers and meaning with each stroke.” Colorful, active, cohesive — thus she creates and defines her own form of abstraction in the solitude of the high desert. The Oxford Hotel presents Kristine Cooper with brightly colored, abstract paintings opening August 1 through August 25. The artist will attend the public champagne reception on First Friday, August 2 from 5-7:30 pm. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule with additional information available at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com

endFilm announced that legendary writer and director Ron Shelton will screen his 1988 directorial debut, Bull Durham, and moderate the First Features panel as part of his role as First Features Honoree at the 16th annual BendFilm Festival. Shelton’s illustrious career also includes films such as Blaze, White Men Can’t Jump, Cobb, Tin Cup and Hollywood Homicide. Shelton’s work spans four decades with more than ten screenwriting and writer/director credits to his name. First Features honorees from past Festivals include John Sayles and Maggie Renzi (2016), Peter Gilbert (2017) and Debra Granik (2018). Bull Durham was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1988 and was based in part off Shelton’s own baseball experience as a minor leaguer in Baltimore’s farm system. The script was awarded Best Original Screenplay from the National Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Circle and LA Film Critics Association. Director, Screenwriter and Producer Ron Shelton said, “I think I’m just getting started making movies. I certainly have a lot more stories to tell. While I don’t believe in looking backwards I confess it’s enjoyable to revisit a movie like Bull Durham which seems to keep hanging around. As Bull Durham was my first feature as a director, it seems the perfect movie to share with others just making their own first films.” BendFilm Programmer Erik Jambor said, “Ron Shelton’s work is authentic, timeless and wildly Bull Durham I Photos courtesy of BendFilm popular among so many. We are thrilled to have the chance to host Ron and learn more about his process, his inspiration and his future plans.” During the festival, Shelton will moderate the fourth annual First Features panel on Saturday October 12, designed to connect an established filmmaker with emerging talent breaking into the business. Shelton will cover issues specific to his filmmaking journey as well as industry-wide issues emerging filmmakers may face today. First Features, Then What? | Saturday, October 12 | McMenamins Taking that big leap into the great unknown world of feature filmmaking is an incredibly difficult step. Even some of our most cherished directors often failed miserably in their first attempt. The filmmakers on this panel somehow got it right in their first try. Join us to hear how these filmmakers assembled the courage and resources to make their first features and their plans for making a career in film. Moderated by Ron Shelton (Bull Durham); panelists will be announced in September.
Ron Shelton
Screening of Bull Durham | Saturday Oct 12 Written and directed by Ron Shelton, starring Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Trey Wilson, Robert Wuhl and William O’Leary.
In Durham, North Carolina, the Bulls minor league baseball team has one asset no other can claim: a poetry-loving groupie named Annie Savoy (Sarandon). As the team’s season begins, Annie selects brash new recruit Ebby Calvin Laloosh (Robbins), whom she christens “Nuke,” to inspire with the religion of baseball. Nuke also receives guidance from veteran player Crash Davis (Costner), who settles Nuke’s erratic pitching and teaches him to follow the catcher’s lead. The BendFilm Festival discovers and supports new filmmaking talent. BendFilm screens several feature films each year by first-time filmmakers who display mature and original filmmaking technique and ability. These filmmakers are navigating a very crowded field of new and experienced filmmakers. They now have a much harder time establishing filmmaking careers in comparison to the celebrated independent filmmakers who came to prominence before the digital age. BendFilm brings in established independent filmmakers to share their experience to help mentor emerging filmmakers breaking into the industry. Other First Feature honorees and mentors include: John Sayles and Maggie Renzi (2016), Peter Gilbert (2017), Debra Granik, Chris Eyre and Ondi Timoner (2018). bendfilm.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | August 2019

end has long been a nexus of adventure sports, drawing climbers, skiers, mountain bikers and trail runners from all over the world — but until now we’ve never had an outdoor film festival to call our own. Join us for the inaugural year of the Cascadia Adventure Film Festival (CAFF), where we celebrate the pursuits that push us to our limits, and help us forge a deeper connection to the natural world. This is where pulse-pounding outdoor sports meet cutting-edge filmmaking from local artists and athletes as well as thrilling global adventure films. From September 5-7, CAFF will feature adventure films encouraging sustainable tourism, environmental stewardship, and human-powered adventure. Besides bringing people together to celebrate these amazing films, we’re lining up guided outdoor activities such as trail running, biking and hiking, including a few adventure-themed gatherings that can only happen in Bend. If you’re going to have big days, you need big nights as well: CAFF is launching Bend’s first outdoor retailer block party, bringing together adventure brands and local companies to show off their products and connect with festival attendees. This will be a party with a purpose — an epic gathering to celebrate the outdoors while also promoting the values that make Bend such an amazing place to live and visit. You’ll see these values on display throughout the festival: community, inclusivity, accessibility, environmental stewardship, and pushing your own limits, whatever they may be. Executive producer Jason Bagby is an adventure photographer, filmmaker, and adventure athlete based here in Bend; he’s also a jury member for the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival. He and his team have deep experience in curating, participating in and presenting adventure films. Our photo competition and ambassador program even help non-professionals get in on the action in a meaningful way. Come celebrate the unique place we get to call home, and share a spirit of adventure and love of the land with the rest of the world. Go on an adventure with us. cascadiaadventuref ilmfestival.com

His muse — the desert and mountains of Oregon. While Choate’s art is in the vein of abstract, a subtle representation of trees and mountain shapes always find a way into the composition. Texture and color play a vital role in the success of his paintings.

Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery Presents
Artist Joanne Donaca rtist Joanne Donaca exhibits oil paintings of vineyards and their delicious and desired yield, grapes, as well as traditional landscapes. Both subjects reflect her experiences as an Oregon native, with early years in northeastern Oregon and, later, Central Oregon. In her early years in Ontario, Oregon, Donaca’s grandfather and father raised grapes. The artist fondly recalls working with her dad, painstakingly guiding grape laden vines to hang on walls to ripen in the hot summer sun. Later she enjoyed the succulent treat picked fresh from the vines. Prior to her senior high school year, her family moved to Redmond, where the artist recalls her awe at her sighting of the snow-laden Cascade Range, enchanting with its beauty. Also notable, Donaca graduated with honors as the salutatorian of her class. Her memories of these delectable berries and impressive mountains reflect in her subject matter for her current exhibit at Sunriver Lodge gallery. The exhibition reflects her continued affection for Oregon and its popular vineyards and mountain vistas. The artist chooses an enhanced yet realistic palette drawn from nature. She combines strong, defining foundational strokes with softer, gestural surface strokes, creating both texture and movement. She excels in painting water with a clear vision of light on its surface, depicting the qualities of both refraction and reflection. Her subject of water also evidences her awareness of hues and values, creating a realistic vision of fluidity on the surface.

Donaca notes her satisfaction in her art over the years. Significantly she adds, “Yet I measure my true ability by the pleasure the public takes in viewing my work and that my clients take in a choosing a piece.” The artist is recognized throughout the U.S. with her signature membership in the Watercolor Society of America as well as in the Pastel Society of America, the Northwest, and of Oregon. She also achieved membership in Oil Painters of America.

Sisters Folk Festival RV Camping 2019
T
he City of Sisters has informed Sisters Folk Festival that they will be enforcing city policies for overnight camping in 2019 and beyond. This is a significant change to the practice that some festival patrons are used to, and in an effort to make everyone’s experience at Sisters Folk Festival the very best, we are sharing the information below so that patrons can plan in advance. Overnight camping is not allowed on city property, including parks and the “right-of-way” — defined as the space between the street and property line, often seen around Sisters as the gravel shoulders where a sidewalk may be built. Over the years, these spots in the right-of-way have been tempting locations to park a trailer or RV for the weekend. The city has indicated that they may ticket any vehicles with persons camping in these right-of-way zones. Specific signed

RV parking spots exist around town, but overnight camping inside the parked vehicle is prohibited.Similarly, parking and RV camping violations on vacant lots around Sisters will be strictly enforced by the City of Sisters during the festival. If you do not have permission from a property owner to park or camp, you do so at the risk of being ticketed.Please read the document written by the City about overnight camping on the sistersfolkfestival.org website.In response, Sisters Folk Festival has arranged for an overnight RV camping location as an option for RV campers. Fees will be charged to cover necessary permits and administration of this alternative location. Please note that the option is considered “dry camping” so no power or water hookups are available.A portion of the Sisters High School parking lot will be designated for overnight RV camping during the weekend. It is about 1 mile to the Village Green park, so biking and/or walking is reasonable and encouraged. There will also be free shuttle buses scheduled a few times a day between Sisters High School and Village Green park. Space is very limited. $100 for weekend parking pass includes up to three nights of camping (FriSun), and RV campers must arrive between 11am and Photo courtesy of Sisters Folk Festival 9pm on Friday, September 6 to guarantee their spot. We can accommodate RVs up to 36’ in length.The Sisters High School lot requires an advance parking/camping pass.

SISTERS EXHIBITS Black Butte Ranch Lodge Gallery 541-595-1252 • blackbutteranch.com Oregon Landscape artist Lisa Wiser announces a solo exhibit of 24 recent paintings at the Black Butte Ranch Lodge Gallery thru July. 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 1970’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, Oregon. 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.

Dry Canyon Arts Association by JULIE E. FURNAS AE Feature Writer
A
n art revolution is happening in Redmond. Back in 2017, five enthusiastic individuals came together and created a plan to grow the art and culture community in their city. Earlier this year, the Dry Canyon Arts Association (DCAA) was formed, a nonprofit with membership open to artists and art appreciators of the tri-county area. The group was also formed to allow artists of all mediums to come together, share ideas, collaborate and support one another. “Central Oregon is a good place to experience all genres of art, both for the community and the tourists visiting, and DCAA wants to be able to be a part of the local art scene,” says Linda Hill, DCAA Board of Directors chairperson. Dry Canyon Arts Association recently rolled out their website, which is sleek, artistic and easy to navigate. They also announced their plans for a Community Arts and Cultural Center in Redmond. The Center, which is in its very early planning stages hopes to create an environment where guests can take a class, see a performance and experience rotating installations similar to the halls of the High Desert Museum. Mission & Vision Statement: The Dry Canyon Arts Association, a nonprofit organization, dedicates its mission to encourage art and culture in Redmond and the surrounding area by providing opportunity and access for all ages to experience and appreciate many forms of art. It is our vision to see a Community Arts and Cultural Center built and developed, offering art classes, cultural events, a member’s studio and a community stage for performing arts. DCAA collaborates with area businesses, nonprofit organizations, community members and artists in Central Oregon that shares in their mission and vision for the art community in Redmond and surrounding areas. In the next five years, the Dry Canyon Arts Association’s vision is to create a self-supporting Community Arts and Cultural Center for Redmond and surrounding areas of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. The Center Environment: • Promotes individual and collaborative efforts • Recognizes and celebrates diversity • Presents a positive public image • Is safe and environmentally aware • Is responsive to community suggestions and concerns The Center Offerings: • Local and touring theatre and musical groups • Art and music classes for all ages and incomes • Permanent members to have a gallery space to display and sell • A place to hold sales and fundraising events • Dance and theatre productions • Cultural events showcasing the history and culture of Central Oregon • Culinary classes • Indoor and outdoor botanical demonstrations and classes Fundraising and Events On September 7, DCAA will be a part of the prestigious Art Fair at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center. The fair will be an opportunity for artists to exhibit/sell their work and for DCAA to talk to patrons about their organization, the mission of the group and plan for the cultural and arts center in Redmond.

NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR AUGUST
L
ove and money get our attention this month so be open to magic happening in both areas. Cooperation on the 1st invites you to trust new beginnings and new approaches. An awkward feeling on the 4th is simply because you are learning something and you want to do it right. Opportunities near the 7th may feel like a dream come true. Let go of your fear on the 9th and let your heart lead the way. An increase in your inner light could get the attention of those around you after the 11th. Welcome the changes during the next few days as you feel your heart opening on the 13th. The Full Moon on the 15th invites you to talk about what would make you happy. Start your healing process on the 17th and be patient with how it unfolds. Feel your heart relax when you receive the messages on the 21st and feel free to celebrate afterwards. Action taken on the 24th supports what you are manifesting. Appreciating

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 (toward completion, toward 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.

Copeland’s specific training, experience and skill set are what he is passionate about sharing. Mentoring others and helping them achieve their dreams has always been a source of great pride and leading photography workshops and the group
