make exceptional musicians accessible to their audiences with pre-concert talks that allow concertgoers to interact and learn more about the artists and the programs they will perform.

Educational Outreach A critical component of High Desert Chamber Music’s mission has been to inspire young local music students and create avenues for them to achieve their highest potential and even go on to music careers of their own.

Through their Educational Outreach programs, High Desert Chamber Music provides opportunities for students in our area to witness and learn from some of our country’s finest musicians. Educational programming consists of their chamber music training program, master classes and visits to local schools.

ith another season complete, professional violinist Isabelle LaForêt Senger is continually touched by the support and enthusiasm for High Desert Chamber Music (HDCM) in the community. There are no signs of slowing for this group, boasting increased attendance for the Concert Series, record numbers at their Annual Gala, and expansive growth in school visits and students involved in Educational Outreach programs. She brings renewed enthusiasm and exciting programming to the organization she founded 11 years ago.

History In 2008, Senger founded High Desert Chamber Music and tapped her colleagues in the industry for her first season’s roster. The inaugural concert featured her own quartet, Pasadena-based Crown City String Quartet.

Members of this group found time between symphony concerts and recording sessions for the Star Wars and Family Guy soundtracks and came to Bend for the concert, held at the Tower Theatre. They are the organization’s resident group and have performed in HDCM’s Concert

Series more than a dozen times over the past 11 years.

Central Oregon has a history of being supportive of creative and performing arts, and High Desert Chamber Music quickly established itself as a reliable source for the highest caliber chamber music. Throughout the last eleven years, some notable musicians have performed in their concert series, including New York Philharmonic Assistant Concertmaster Michelle Kim, International Prokofiev Competition winner pianist Robert Thies, renowned violist and conductor Heiichiro Ohyama, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Frank Almond, Los Angeles Philharmonic Principal Concertmaster Martin Chalifour, violin virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn and her 1720 Red Mendelssohn Stradivarius and Grammy-nominated, Avery Fisher prizewinning cellist Peter Wiley.

With events offered from September through June, and everything from piano duos to string sextets, there is always something to please new listeners, or connoisseurs of classical chamber music. High Desert Chamber Music strives to

You may have seen students from High Desert Chamber Music’s training program, the Spotlight Chamber Players, performing around town at events such as First Friday last month. Musicians in this group are experienced local middle school and high school students who show promise in their technique and development. They audition and are selected by HDCM’s executive director, who provides their chamber group instruction at no cost. Starting with their feature performance at the Annual Gala in November, you can see them perform prior to all of HDCM’s concerts, as well as in the community.

Each season, High Desert Chamber Music presents a master class with one of their visiting musicians. Guest artists have included violinist Michelle Kim, violinist/violist Heiichiro Ohyama, violinist Martin Chalifour and cellist Peter Wiley. For the last four years, this has been offered in partnership with the Oregon branch of the American String Teachers Association.

Students from all over Oregon audition through ASTA and those selected perform here in Bend for an audience, then receive valuable critique.

Master classes are free to attend and open for the public to view so everyone can experience exceptional talent and hear the changes a master’s insight can influence.

Perhaps the most lasting impact comes from visits to local schools by guest artists. These performances and Q&A sessions have ranged

Additionally, HDCM works to reach those who can’t get to their concerts by offering performances at retirement communities by either a visiting professional or the Spotlight Chamber Players. Through the years, well over two dozen performances have been offered at several retirement communities at no charge to the residents.

Now and the Future As a nonprofit organization, High Desert Chamber Music is fully sustained by individual donations, ticket sales, sponsors, foundation support through grants, and an annual Gala and silent auction held late each fall. The 2018-19 presenting sponsor was Mission Building and Renovation. Title sponsors included German Master Tech, Neil Kelly, Miller Lumber, Hayden Homes, Pine Tavern Restaurant, Fairfield Inn & Suites

by Marriott, KBND radio and 101.7 Radio. Additional support provided by Atlas Home Security and Riverside Animal Clinic. These relationships allow the organization to grow and solidify its standing as a premiere resource of chamber music on par with major metropolitan areas.

from classrooms of 25 up to an auditorium of 600 students and teachers. These events are able to reach students from area elementary, middle and high schools, giving them the opportunity to see and hear professional performers, as well as get to know details of a musician’s life. This past season the Crown City String Quartet performed for the entire student body at William E. Miller Elementary, and the Oregon Guitar Quartet expanded the organization’s outreach into the Sisters School District. In past years, Frank Almond performed with his storied 301-year-old Stradivarius and he stayed after to take photos with every student who wanted one. A similar event was held recently with virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairn and her legendary Red Mendelssohn violin.

All of High Desert Chamber Music’s educational outreach efforts are provided at no cost to students, schools or families.

Oregon Guitar Quartet performance, Q&A at Sisters High School

The music and instruments might range over hundreds of years from very old to very modern, but the performances are always fresh and exciting. This past season opened with Steinway Artist and NPR host Christopher O’Riley. Crowd favorites the Crown City String Quartet performed their concert at the new location of Wille Hall (COCC), followed by the debut of rising stars the Neave Trio.

The next concerts were held at Neave Trio performs at Music & Friends Event the Tower Theatre featuring the Oregon Guitar Quartet, and an exciting finale concert with Polish-American pianist Adam Golka and New York Philharmonic principal performer Michelle Kim. What can you look forward to as High Desert Chamber Music continues in their second decade of bringing leading classical performers to Central Oregon? Their live concerts are regularly broadcast on KWAX Classical radio’s program, KWAX Presents!, featuring notable performances around Oregon.

The 2019-20 season schedule will be announced in August, but here’s a sneak peek into next season: The Neave Trio had such a successful debut this year, and will be back by popular demand. Pianist Robert Thies will perform a solo recital “in the round”, where the piano is in the center of the hall and seats will surround the instrument on all sides. Finally, as an added bonus, HDCM and the Tower Theatre will be partnering up to present the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass at the Tower Theatre in April 2020.

Tickets for the 2019-20 season go on sale in August. Come hear the music!

Alleda Real Estate 25 NW Minnesota Ave., Ste. 1 541-633-7590 • alledarealestate.com Featuring artist Joel Bailie. Joel’s interest in photography was sparked in the early 1980s by the works of Ansel Adams and other well-known landscape photographers that followed him. Joel has always enjoyed photographing landscapes, and has recently found a special interest in studio lighting, which he often shoots in black and white. A few of his favorite subjects are sunsets, flowing water and flowers. Joel is a member of the Cascade Camera Club and has previously shown works at City Walls sponsored by the City of Bend, the Family Resource Center, as well as First Friday events.

shapes — all surrounded by near absolute quietude — such almost inexpressible experiences of overwhelming grandeur and quiet reflection commanded his use of paint on canvas in attempt to record these memories.

The artist describes his painting from memory in attempt to pictorially capture this inspiration. He speaks of the juxtaposition of shapes and patterns, his “lose, gestural approach to surface quality and texture,” his delicate brush stroke details along with his use of “microbands of subtle and sophisticated color” to depict the snow. He notes his distinct and close, yet expressionistic, depictions of trees and canyons and his use of an immediate point of view to illustrate the power of the vibrant oranges and yellows. All this varied and intense activity occurring in his studio which may serve to focus the intense power of his impressive art appearing the in June exhibit.

Involved in art from an early age and citing influences ranging from 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.

AE@CASCADEAE.COM Steeped in the genre of color field painting, Randy Redfield extends it by making use of various media at his disposal, with paint, pencil and sandpaper serving as his primary tools. Lately, the artist has taken to combining his painting with recyclable sculpture as a way to unite the two- and three-dimensions. Viewing his art as a means of problem-solving, Redfield seeks to “make something new and not seen before.”

Redfield employs color to generate an emotional charge in his work since “most of us have emotional ties to a favorite color through a memory or perhaps an attachment to nature.” When one of his images gets stagnant or quiet, for him a disagreeable state, the artist amps up the surface with clashing color or small details from his imagination Turf, 18" x 24" oil/canvas/cable by Randy Redfield to add interest and dynamism. Although thoroughly engaged in process, Redfield acknowledges that the painting must ultimately become the object and take on its own life. Randy Redfield is a fifth generation Oregonian. His large color field paintings are held in many private and public collections worldwide.

Mockingbird Gallery 869 NW Wall St. 541-388-2107 mockingbird-gallery.com On First Friday, June 7, from 5-9pm, Mockingbird Gallery presents The Road Less Traveled, a two-person show for Steven Lee Adams and Joseph Alleman with wine, light refresh-ments and jazz music provided by the Ryan Camastral Trio.

Steven Lee Adams strives to portray an elusive feeling of timelessness that lies beneath the surface of what may seem commonplace...introspective paintings, urging us to look deeper for the subtleties of nature around us, and the complex world of emotion within each of us.

Painting with watercolors is second nature for Joseph Alleman. Familiar subjects, such as weathered barns, red-roofed farmhouses, and wind-swept fields of alfalfa attract his inter-est. Thru end of June.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-382-8436 Presenting Anne Gibson’s Wandering the Deschutes, paintings of scenes along Central Oregon’s Deschutes.

Opening June 1 and continuing thru July 26, the exhibit captures the river throughout the seasons.

The artist will attend the public champagne reception at the hotel on First Friday, June 7 from 5:30-8pm.

Anne brings years of artistic experience to her paintings currently on view at the Oxford Hotel. From lush scenes of the Waiting for the Storm, acrylic on paper by Anne Gibson green foliage and blooms along the Deschutes in spring and summer, to barren trees with reddish bark as fall ends, and cold, wintery skies with darkened waters as winter arrives, Gibson captures variations of seasonal beauty on the river.

After graduation from Tufts University, many years of professional experience at noted institutions such as director of publication and marketing at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts and as senior designer at Gilbert Design in Providence, RI brought both rewards and challenges.

A move to Bend brought novel graphic and design work and further grew her considerable skills. Yet, Central Oregon grew Gibson in another important direction.

“My inspiration now comes from the appreciating of beauty in every day — whether minute flowers in the high desert… the warmth of the sun on bare skin, the intoxicating scent of wet sagebrush after a summer storm… the utter still of a deep twilight sky… experiencing Central Oregon is much more than what you see.”

So began the artist’s enhanced painting career; after the study of art history and a career in graphic design, “I began to work with color, studying printmaking and pastel.

Now I mostly paint with acrylic and pastel. Moving from the East Coast - and leaving behind the big city art museums — changed my world.”

In the current series, Gibson paints from her “own photos and memories of places I

have frequented along the Deschutes that most often bring me joy or peace. Expressing the feeling of place now dominates my impulse to represent landscape.”

Faith, a Bend resident since 1974, has raised two children, been a music teacher to young children, worked as an interfaith spiritual director and followed 20 years in a Christian Science healing ministry.

Everything changed in 2001 when Faith “discovered” watercolors. She enrolled in a class given by Sisters artist Winnie Givot, and was astounded, overjoyed and awed to find that there was an artist in her.

Now working in both watercolor and Girl in Istanbul, watercolor by Faith Holly Hall pastel, Faith’s favorite subject is the human face. She connects with the sole of the spirit of the person. “My subjects seem to compel me to paint them, whether faces, animals,

Instead of painting exactly what she sees, Sarah paints how she feels. Each landscape painting has a dominant color, and that color has its own meaning within the piece. For instance, yellow is the dominant color in Balance (shown here) and signifies both balance and clarity. A hallmark of Sarah’s work is her use of unique marks, including hand-writing, and layers of texture from other materials.

Sarah will also be introducing her series of paintings featuring birds that are part of a bird life list she began in 1979. She has committed to painting one bird per week and says, “I will only be painting birds on that list, which will also include recent additions from Costa Rica and Italy where I have recently hosted painting workshops.”

Unrepresented Artists of Central Oregon, #7

by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, PhD AE Feature Writer

for exhibition and sale, and custom architectural installations for private and public clients. Her mosaics have been exhibited across the U.S., Italy and Canada. Her architectural installations can be seen in Hillsboro and Astoria. A respected teacher who has led workshops in schools, she continues to offer instruction in mosaic techniques and methods to adults. She has also curated three contemporary mosaic exhibits in the greater Portland area. Lynn is a member of the Society of American Mosaic Artists and the International Association of Contemporary Mosaicists. Additionally, Lynn is a founder of the Northwest Mosaic Artists Alliance, a collective of artists from Oregon and Washington dedicated to increasing appreciation for contemporary mosaic art in the region.

Artist Statement: I am drawn to the processes and artifacts of disintegration. From peeling paint, chipping plaster and crumbling brick to the textures of rust and the patterns of age and decline, I continually find inspiration in urban decay and the places where nature creeps back over built environments. My passion is to capture the beauty and instability of a world in a constant state of decline and rebirth using techniques that are deeply rooted in the classical mosaic tradition while pushing the boundaries of methods and materials to create contemporary work. When I started making art, my focus was simply on visually appealing compositions using my favorite materials: stone, glass, and found rusted objects. As my experience has grown, I’ve discovered the deeper connection between my interest in decay and decomposition and the unending promise of growth and renewal.

A Rake’s Progress. 21 x 12 x 4.5 inches. A found rusted rake inspired this piece. Scrubbed of dirt, hints of the original paint were revealed and called for the use of turquoise smalti to help give new life to the cast-off old tool. Travertine and Australian mookaite complete the materials affixed to the hand-formed sculptural substrate. Juried into the 2019 Mosaic Arts International, shown in Nashville, Tennessee, by Lynn Adamo

Lynn Adamo (lynnadamo.com) Bio: Lynn is a visual artist exploring the possibilities of mixed media mosaic. Originally from Northern California, she has lived in Oregon with her husband since 1991, first in Hillsboro and since 2016 in Bend.

A graphic designer with a degree from the University of California, Davis, she ran her own design firm for nearly 25 years. Lynn began making mosaics more than 20 years ago, first by breaking dishes and covering birdbaths and planter boxes. This led to an interest in tile making, and she and her husband set up a clay studio where they created relief and hand cut tiles using custom glazes. Today, Lynn focuses on fine art

Lloyd McMullen (clmcmullen.com) Bio: Lloyd McMullen comes from a long line of wordsmiths and sarcastic wisecrackers. From early days the artist was drawn to arcane stories, shiny objects and rusty bits. To this day McMullen is a slightly obsessive scavenger of broken glass, rusting metal and snatches of overheard conversation to use in two- and three-dimensional mixed media paintings and found object constructions. These narrative pieces are informed by stories told by the castoffs layered into the work. Most recently the artist has created work for the Brooklyn Art Library, Central Oregon Light Art at Oregon WinterFest, Trashformations at ReStore in Bend, Cannon Beach Arts Association exhibits and installations, the “Lookout” for Tin Pan Alley Mural Project and her solo show at Central Oregon Community College. A community arts activist, McMullen is an occasional yarn bomber and instigator of secret art installations. This year the artist worked with Bend Habitat for Humanity to create Trashformations, an event where discarded materials are reconfigured to bring forth something new, the results of which are fundraised to support the worthy cause. Currently a member of ScaleHouse’s Programming Committee, McMullen has worked with local art groups including Atelier 6000 (Bend Art Center), 135 Up!, Central Oregon Arts Association, and the Regional Arts Council of Central Oregon. The native Oregonian was a co-founder of the legendary Central Oregon outsider/contemporary arts group: Artists Local 101.

by Lloyd McMullen

Artist Statement: As a self-appointed rescuer of injured birds, lost causes and unidentifiable castoffs, I seek to salvage and translate their stories in my work.

Strange and random items discovered underfoot, stolen images, misappropriated words all serve as raw material and metaphor. I bind this broken glass, rusting metal, image transfers, vintage tissue sewing patterns and other detritus in layers of transparent colors and clear mediums to mimic the thick, rough patina of time.

I seek out new materials and struggle with attachment issues in my extremely mixed media paintings and sculpture. Homely findings and chanced upon moments serve my continuing exploration of themes of transformation and redemption. Lately I have been drawn to cocoon shapes and moth-like creatures.

Rather than butterfly, the manifest archetype of beauty, moth symbolizes metamorphosis. The homely unsung sister to butterfly, moth transforms from a crawling creature of earth to a flying resident of sky. Moth is drawn to the light — sometimes to her own destruction. While I may crush the moth I find in my closet, I celebrate the moth I find in my work. I continue to explore that struggle to transform, that obsession with light, the expanding effect of the beating of wings.

hile my mild obsession with both fashion and the arts is discernible, being adopted from Korea and having lived in Asia as a young adult, I have come to find Korean street fashion endlessly fascinating. From my stint living in Singapore, I witnessed and experienced firsthand, fashion used as a cultural aperture to communicate, globally.

Anytime you are in a new region, it is smart to listen on the streets, to the fashion that surrounds you. Fashion on the streets of Seoul can often tell you society’s secrets, in a much more progressive manner. From their leading boom in gender neutral clothing, to broader statements made in public, it is the Korean Paepi (“Portmanteau word from the Korean pronunciation of “fashion people”) that make the boldest representation of their true selves. While South Korea has been in an ever evolving state of growth away from capitalism, it is powerful to watch this young generation of consumers take to self-expression and confidence, through fashion.

he annual All School Art Show at Seven Peaks School is held during May of each year. The show is a one day extravaganza, with art filling the school gym in an instillation fashion from 8am through the end of the school day. It is a day to celebrate every student’s art and build an appreciation and awareness of the importance of art in education. Every student ( JK-8th grades) has three to four works of art showcased in the show and the day is coupled with Grandparents Day in added celebration. Parents, grandparents and visitors tour through the show all day.

Grandparents can come walk through the show at any time throughout the day with their grandchild.

Each year the show has a different theme, chosen by Seven Peaks’ two art teachers. This year the theme was The Changing Seasons, with the gym divided into four quadrants, one for each season.

The art is a combination of many different mediums and types of art celebrating

The K-Movement is Here… and I’m Loving it!

K-pop music, and let’s just be honest, an entire K-movement has begun to move worldwide.

If you google Korean Street Fashion you will likely find lists of archetypes and contradictions. Monochrome vs. Bright colors… Layers vs. Minimalist… Leather vs. Cotton… It is these contradictions to describing K-street fashion that is the heart of its appeal. K-street fashion is not one thing, one rule, or one look. Korean street fashion, in fact, is never one trend, but one person, confident in their bold choice to be true to themselves.

While South Korea could have once been considered a major hub of fast fashion production and consumerism, we have seen a designer (and buyer) shift to sustainability. Easy on the environment, and easy on the eyes, I hope to continue to see the K-movement revolutionize other cultures and the way we think about fashion as a representation of who we are. A cool confidence, nothing is more beautiful than using your body as a canvas to represent the one and only YOU. livelaughloveartsunriver.com

After Being Featured On HGTV, Southern Oregon Artist Marigny Goodyear Returns to Exhibit in Bend for Third Year in a Row

s seen on HGTV artist Marigny Goodyear will debut her series, titled A Lovely Mess, at Legum Design in Bend. This solo show will open at 5pm on Friday June 7 and will be open to the public through the months of June and July. Marigny created the series A Lovely Mess to examine the growth that occurs while diving deep into emotional turmoil. This series explores the freedom that can be found in embracing and questioning the darkness, rather than hiding from it. It focuses on the form of a heart, often seen tattered and Heart Flower by Marigny Goodyear torn, yet simultaneously creating beautiful patterns and atmospheres. None of us are free from heartache, but through adversity, we can learn, evolve and shine even brighter.

Marigny’s paintings from her 2018 show at Legum Design were selected for the HGTV show filmed in Bend, Mom & Me, where her work appeared in the renovated master bedroom and bath in Season 1, Episode 2, Midcentury Mod. marignygoodyearart.com

Bend Artist Ken Marunowski Strikes

“Again With Attitude”

ARTS

F

orget Warhol’s late sixties prophetic dictum that “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.”

Bend artist Ken Marunowski more than quadrupled that number with one hour and forty-eight seconds of fame!

Okay, that might not be entirely accurate since it is neither world fame nor that particular duration Ken truly achieved, but it is the total playing time for award winning jazz pianist George Colligan’s latest CD release Again With Attitude, for which Ken’s artwork was chosen to adorn the front cover.

The cover art is, in actuality, a cropped version of a 3’x4’ oil painting that captures George Colligan’s performance last year at Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz where he lit it up with jazz legends Buster Williams, upright bass, and Lenny White, drums (think Miles Davis, Bitches Brew). Ken based the blue, purple and crimson colored, expressive painting on a series of ink studies he made and photographs he took at the show. An artist of musicians, landscapes and large-scale abstractions, Ken was invited to the concert series by Associate Producer Elise Franklin who spotted the artist sketching live music on Thursday evenings at Currents at the Riverhouse. Captivated by Ken’s quick, gestural responses to the live music, Elise and Executive Producer Marshall Glickman deemed Ken the Resident Artist of the series. At the closing concert of the season, which was to be the last ever for Riverhouse Jazz, Ken presented the painting to Marshall as a gift for his extraordinary efforts in bringing world-class musicians to Bend, something for which all lovers of jazz are incredibly grateful.

No stranger to depicting live musicians and the feeling of the music they evoke, Marunowski made a regular practice of doing so in Duluth, Minnesota where he lived and taught at the University of Minnesota Duluth for eight years. Favorite bands of his to listen to and draw or paint while there included Charlie Parr, whose foot-stompin’, finger-picking jams came to Bend in 2017, and indie rock group Low, whose eerie lyrics and mesmerizing rhythms lull listeners into a trancelike state. Both bands now own some of Ken’s work. At one outdoor venue featuring Sheila Raye Charles, daughter of Ray Charles, the artist completed a series of charcoal and pastel works on paper, one of which Sheila purchased for her personal collection. In 2018, the Sunriver Music Festival honored Marunowski by selecting his mixed media painting of Leonard Bernstein as the official publicity image for the season, which appeared on posters and the concert series program as well as in press releases and promotional articles. Many of Ken’s large abstractions, often musical in sensibility, are currently displayed at the Cascade School of Music located on Third St. and Emerson, across from Walgreens. Stop in and check out the artist’s work. kennethmarunowski.com

Native American Art through Traditional & Contemporary Eyes

T

he two dimensional works of artists Terrance Guardipee, Blackfeet, Jason Parrish, Navajo, and Roger Perkins Mohawk, span our concepts of what traditional and contemporary Native American art looks like. Their works can also begin the challenging dilemma of articulating why a work should be considered with either of these two authoritative terms.

Typically, ‘traditional’ is thought of as works based upon timehonored, older perspectives along with current works that respect the heritage and legacy that guided earlier artists. In that case, Jason’s and many of Terrance’s works must Jason Parrish, Navajo be seen as traditional.

Jason paints in the Santa Fe School tradition that began in the 1930’s, a movement strongly influenced by the Ledger Art that preceded it.

Ledger art, before that, came directly from the buffalo hide paintings.

A certain ‘less is more’ conceptual approach may describe Jason’s desert scenes of the Diné in elegant poses or in motion on horseback.

Jason’s recent second showing at the juried International Watercolor Exhibition, held in the Grand Palais on the Champs Elysees of Paris, demonstrates growing international recognition for his works.

Terrance works in the Ledger Art genre, which uses pages from ledger books of the late 1800’s.

When the buffalo were killed off and the people were sent onto reservations — or, for many of the warriors, into prisons — officials began giving the former painting-upon-buffalo-hide artists used ledger pages as material for them to continue their pictorial recordings of history.

Terrance not only paints upon antique ledger pages, he was the artist most instrumental in reviving this narrative art form in the 1990’s. His works can be found in numerous museums throughout the United States, including the Smithsonian.

‘Contemporary’ is thought of as works that allow an artist to explore new possibilities, to offer what might be, thus possibly adding to a culture.

In that case, Roger and many of Terrance’s works must be regarded as contemporary.

Desert Reflections: Water Shapes the West, Part II

ARTS

by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, PhD AE Feature Writer

T

his article serves as Part II of last month’s story about the High Desert Museum’s current exhibition, Desert Reflections: Water Shapes the West, on view through September 29. The exhibit explores the various roles and significance of water, past, present and future, through dynamic, interdisciplinary, multimedia displays of sight and sound. Last month I introduced two of the four featured, Oregonbased artists in the exhibition: Dana Reason and Jason Graham. In this article, I introduce the other two artists and their incredible work: Harmonic Laboratory and Ka’ila Farrell-Smith.

Harmonic Laboratory: (harmoniclab.org) Harmonic Laboratory is an award-winning collective of artists, thinkers, educators and innovators that investigates the human experience through the integration of media and common theme. Established in 2010, their mission is to integrate art, science, and the humanities in the development of creative works that tell stories and unpack the dense cultural content around us.

The group consists of choreographer Brad Garner, animator John Park, composer Jeremy Schropp, and intermedia artist Jon Bellona.

Harmonic Laboratory will contribute two multimedia works in the Desert Reflections exhibit: Garden of Earthly Delights (2019) and Awash (2019).

The collective describes these two works as follows: Garden of Earthly Delights is a video triptych representing the tension between two bodies of diverse backgrounds engaged in a negotiation over water as a scarce and precious resource. Depicting a loss of innocence, this piece makes deliberate reference to Hieronymus Bosch’s late 15th century iconic triptych of the same title that illustrates the biblical scenes of Eden, the Judgment, and Hell. Bosch’s triptych stands as a warning against the devastating outcome of irresponsibility and self-interest. The imagery used in the Harmonic Laboratory video version follows the same basic narrative, but is more political in nature. Garden of Earthly Delights features guest artists Dmitri von Klein, Cinematographer, and Carmen RamirezCornejo, Performer.

Awash, is a kinetic sound sculpture that mirrors the distribution of energy within High Desert ecosystems and the symbiotic forces at play in the water cycle. Consisting of 120 speakers, custom

electronic circuits, 500’ of speaker cable, prepared DC motor, roller chain, dacron string, laser cut acrylic and wood, the kinetic sound sculpture emanates audio from the region while flowing as a singular mechanical wave rippling across the constructed landscape of the museum. The piece amplifies field recordings of the High Desert and a recording of a church organ, all of which evoke the life, color, and environment of the High Desert. Awash, like the High Desert, is shaped by many forces interacting in complex ways; the work is ecological — physical movement interacts with sonic vibrations. Sounds interact with the physical environment. Visual elements intermingle with acoustic elements.

Ka’ila Farrell-Smith: (kailafarrellsmith.com) Ka’ila Farrell-Smith is a contemporary Klamath Modoc visual artist based in Modoc Point, Oregon.

The conceptual framework of her practice focuses on channeling research through a creative flow of experimentation and artistic playfulness rooted in Indigenous aesthetics and abstract formalism.

For Desert Reflections, Ka’ila created four pieces, described below.

Desert Glyph: Drum Painting is a conceptual art piece that evokes the physical act of soaking and stretching a hand drum using animal hide, in comparison to the Western painting tradition of stretching canvas. Desert Glyph brings attention to how beautiful drums are and, in extending the size of the drum to a rectangular painting canvas size, allows the viewer to contemplate the aesthetics of art instruments (drum or painting surface). Away from the wall, the viewer can move around the drum, thus enabling him or her to view the changing light show on its front and to see how it was made on its back.

The petroglyph references Warner Valley Rock Art, specifically the Long Lake Carved Abstract, and, for me, symbolizes human and animal life emerging from and with the water sources.

Vision Quest Glyphology is a large, colorful, abstract oil painting citing Columbia river Great Basin petroglyph designs and depicting the loss of traditional Indigenous rock art found across the Pacific Northwest. The painting references the historical trauma of the dams on the Columbia River, or Nchi’ Wana, which drastically changed Indigenous culture and life. The dams caused the drowning of Celilo Falls, and much of the Indigenous Rock art was submerged underwater

within minutes.This painting remembers the ancient and contemporary art and culture of Nchi’ Wana peoples, which includes my ancestors, the Klamath, Modoc, and Paiute people. It is a celebration of what was lost with the dams and a reminder of what is still there if we free the dams and decolonize the waterways in the West.

G’EE’LA (Earth Tierra) is a series of 29 monoprints with lithography referencing ancient carvings called the Long Lake Abstract Rock Panel located in Southern Oregon and created by nomadic communities who sustained themselves through water, hunting and gathering. The series is dedicated to the Water Protectors standing strong across the earth for clean watersheds and resisting corporate colonizing forces working to steal the last clean drinking water on the planet. For the past three years, I’ve personally been fighting on the frontlines to stop an LNG fracked gas pipeline from being installed through my Klamath and Modoc ancestral homelands in Southern Oregon that would travel underneath nearly 500 waterways.

Water is Life Healing Flags are hand-sewn fabric flags of varying sizes with images inscribed upon them through various processes largely created to be safety-pinned to people’s t-shirts to show solidarity at non-violent direct-actions where banners and protest signs were not allowed. A flagmaking workshop was created where people from all different levels of creative expression came together to reflect upon and express why water is important to them and their cultures. One hundred feet of these flags will be installed inside and outside the High Desert Museum. The various marks on those installed outside, whether recreations of ancient pictographs, poems, sentiments, or contemporary designs, will eventually fade, part of the project’s conceptual framework, symbolizing a return to the earth and wind. highdesertmuseum.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | June 2019

The Art of Alfred A. Dolezal

A

panorama of color and thought-provoking images greet the eye as you walk through the door of The Art of Alfred A. Dolezal gallery located in Eagle Crest Resort. Originally from Vienna, Austria, Alfred has been painting professionally since 1963 and is a passionate researcher in a variety of subjects: mythology, history, psychology, science, physics and metaphysics, to name a few.

Throughout the years, he began to question the fundamental “truths” about life and found that there was so much more to our existence than what meets the eye. Next to each painting is a description documenting his insights and inspiration; hence, the motto, “much more than a painting.” When Alfred sits before the easel, he enters another realm of consciousness, a Reflections by personal meditation that weaves Alfred A. Dolezal his fact-punctuated rationale into evocative symbolism. His thought-provoking imagery often displays cubistic and surrealistic tendencies and vibrant colors in dynamic combinations. Quite often his paintings reveal a mischievous, humorous side, a dry sarcasm and his love for the unexpected. One visitor to the gallery described his work: “Alfred Dolezal is a thinking man’s artist. His pieces are thoughtful, intellectually stimulating and intricate; he blends deep philosophical views with ethereal, imaginative, poetic and grand pieces; he carefully fuses elements of intensity, tranquility, peacefulness, restlessness and thought-demanding eloquence to the span of his collection. He challenges you to examine your perspective to life.” And his latest painting, Reflections, does just that. Many people are just busy living their lives. Like the hikers in this scene, they are only preoccupied with their immediate surroundings, unaware that the prominent oversized reflection indicates a much greater world. Each person, every object, is unique because of their individual connection to the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and space (spirit). We nourish ourselves with foods from the Earth and eventually our physical shell returns to earthly matter. In the process we give, build and heal. Air flows around us and through us, filling our cells with oxygen, completing a cycle of breathing, focusing and relaxing. Fire provides heat and energy.

It ignites and serves as a catalyst to transform and to purge. Flowing water cleanses, rejuvenates and reminds us to let go. The feather floating on its surface represents our sacred, divine space and the unlimited potential to evolve to a higher plane. You are, we are, much greater than is known. alfreddolezal.com

rt in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing featuring paintings by David Wachs.

The artist will attend the First Friday opening on June 7, 2019, 5-8pm and his art will appear through June 30. “I have never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.” ~ Henry David Thoreau David Wachs cites Thoreau’s quote (above) as his personal life experience in that skiing in Oregon, Washington and Montana afforded him such companionable solitude.

Frequently alone, observing the immense and rugged peaks, rarely traversed by humans, deeply buried in Silver Buckskins, acrylic on canvas snow — the boundless

reflection of light on the icy surfaces — unlimited, unique and inspiring shapes — all surrounded by near absolute quietude — such almost inexpressible experiences of overwhelming grandeur and quiet reflection commanded his use of paint on canvas in attempt to record these memories. The artist describes his painting from memory in attempt to pictorially capture this inspiration. He speaks of the juxtaposition of shapes and patterns, his “lose, gestural approach to surface quality and texture,” his delicate brush stroke details along with his use of “microbands of subtle and sophisticated color” to depict the snow. He notes his distinct and close, yet expressionistic, depictions of trees and canyons and his use of an immediate point of view to illustrate the power of the vibrant oranges and yellows.

All this varied and intense activity occurring in his studio which may serve to focus the intense power of his impressive art appearing the in June exhibit. Involved in art from an early age and citing influences ranging from 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 Yankee Fork, acrylic on canvas Bulletin and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

inger-songwriter-satirist Roy Zimmerman brings his all-new RiZe Up show to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon Wednesday, June 12, in a benefit performance for KPOV High Desert Community Radio.

If you do not know Roy Zimmerman, the Los Angeles Times says, “Zimmerman displays a lacerating wit and keen awareness of society’s foibles that bring to mind a latter-day Tom Lehrer.” Legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell says, “Roy’s lyrics move beyond poetry Roy Zimmerman, Photo courtesy of KPOV and achieve perfection.”

For the past two decades Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for peace and justice on stage, on radio and TV, and on YouTube — where his videos have garnered over seven million views.

Roy Zimmerman sold out a KPOV benefit in 2017. His new CD RiZe Up features hilarious, thought-provoking, and inspiring new songs like Drain the Swamp, The Don, The Shady Bunch, Thoughts and Prayers and Rise Up. His original song topics include class warfare, racism, creationism, guns, conservatives, war and greed.

Where is the Love?

by RODNEY A. COOK II

R

odney “Makaih” Cook III, is entering his freshman year this fall at Bend Senior High. Since a young age, he has excelled in academics and athletics, but his true passion has always been music. As a toddler, his parents would find him beating on his Fisher-Price toy drum set, creating his own music. At the age of five, his parents enrolled him into piano lessons where his love for music continued to grow as did the list of instruments he could play. Of all the instruments Makaih mastered, the Ukulele that his grandfather gifted him, quickly became his favorite. His passion for music, equity, inclusion and spreading love has inspired his current song, “Where is the Love”.

As a middle school student, he has witnessed first-hand how cruel kids can be to Rodney “Makaih” Cook III Photo courtesy of Rodney A. Cook II one another. Makaih has decided to stand up for them. He gets fired up, encouraging his peers to be stronger than the negative words that are said. Sharing his positive message through music, he’s hoping to encourage his classmates and others in the community to stand up for change.

Makaih is currently serving on the Board of Directors for Younity, a local nonprofit aimed at teaching people how to effectively respond to bullying, helping them discover their own self-power, become more aware of their actions and develop more compassion in the way they treat others.

Makaih has dedicated his efforts to creating inspiring music with a positive message in hopes to end bullying, racism and youth suicide in Central Oregon and beyond.

unter Noack Returns to Central Oregon on 34-Concert Tour.

Picture a nine-foot Steinway piano on a flatbed trailer above Pine Marten Lodge on the flanks of Mt. Bachelor, backdropped by the historic sawmill at the High Desert Museum, or just off the second green of the Meadows Golf Course, horses in pasture beyond, their tails swatting to Chopin’s Second Sonata. Hunter Noack brings that experience to Central Oregon in the upcoming fourth season of IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild (IAL). Hunter and the IAL team start off the 2019 34-concert tour in Central Oregon with concerts running July 2730 at Black Butte Ranch (Sisters), Cant Ranch (Dayville), High Desert Museum (Bend) and Sunriver Resort.With support from Central Oregon Visitors Association, at least ten of the 34 concerts in the IAL 2019 tour will be in Central Oregon, in

partnership with artists from Warm Springs. In addition to those mentioned above, Central Oregon concerts include Smith Rock State Park, PLAYA Arts & Science Residency, Fort Rock State Natural Area, Mt. Bachelor near Pine Marten Lodge, on the Warm Springs Reservation and at three rural Central Oregon schools. On July 20 to 21, Wanderlust Tours of Bend is partnering with IAL for the first time to create a two-day tour on private land in Summer Lake that will include hikes, natural interpretation, overnight camping and meals prepared by a gourmet chef.

“We’ve nearly doubled the size of the tour, expanded our partner base, and extended the season to run from June through September,” said Executive Director Lori Noack who served as E.D. of the Sunriver Music Festival from 1998 - 2005. “This is definitely a group effort with our partners, funders, staff, and our dedicated board of directors who work endless hours helping us bring the vision to life. I have to also thank our audience,” says Noack. “Over “This project brings together two things I love 50 percent of them travel more most: classical music and the great outdoors.” than 50 miles to ~ Hunter Noack attend a concert, exploring Oregon’s endless natural wonders and the warm hospitality of our communities.”

In April, Travel Oregon awarded IN A LANDSCAPE with the 2018 Oregon Tourism Development Award at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism for “creation of an innovative program, promotion, or product that exemplifies best practices, sustainability and creative problem-solving.”

“We are especially excited by the fact that per stats we collect from our audience, almost 40 percent have never before attended a live classical music concert,” said Noack. “That’s unheard of in the industry and we believe it’s because we remove the barriers that keep people from finding out if they even enjoy classical music. IN A LANDSCAPE brings professional concerts to people in environments where they are comfortable. They can move around, eat, drink, fidget, and feel the wind on their face while hiking, riding their bike on the dried lakebed, or sitting in their favorite camp chair watching the sun set. Nature has its own power that only enhances the experience and people find out that they love classical music!”

IN A LANDSCAPE was founded by Hunter Noack who has an active international career as a classical pianist, tours as a special guest with the Portland-based band Pink Martini, and regularly collaborates with Oregon Ballet Theatre and Northwest Dance Project. inalandscape.org • 503-308-2921 • youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-hN5P2uhQ

The Butler Did It

T

he Butler Did It — written by Todd Wallinger, is a comedy murder mystery set in the 1930s at Bournsley Manor England. New director Sharon Sackett describes it; “This play is about a family of aristocracy that is planning a dinner party for a famous English mystery writer Edwina Correy (Lynette Confer) who has just written a highly successful mystery. Colonel Nigel Covington (Dave Johnson), ‘sickly’ wife Lady Miranda Covington (Sara Kreps) and ‘prickly’ daughter Katherine [Kat] (Kellie Timson) live in the manor house along with Jenkins (Gary Sosinski) the ‘very proper’ butler and Sarah Jane(Iva Lent) the cockney maid. Trevor

(L-R) Sarah Kreps, Lynette Confer, Kelli Timson, Susan Evans Inman, Dan Pegram, Gary Sosinski, Ben Ives, Dave Johnson, Sharon Sackett and Iva Lent, Photo courtesy of Sunriver Stars

Barstow (Ben Ives) a neighbor, lives next door and has ‘eyes’ for Kat. Father Timothy (Dan Pegram) is the friendly and somewhat ‘slow’ vicar. The last person in the house is the ‘pleasantly demented’ Gram (Susan Evans Inman), the mother of Lady Miranda.”

Sackett goes on to explain that when one of the party gets murdered in the kitchen with a knife (shades of Clue), Edwina Correy the mystery writer determines to solve the murder herself. The play employs “tongue in cheek” humor that is sometimes very subtle, which requires the actors to portray their character to its full potential. “We are so very excited to introduce four new actors to our SSCT stage.”

This show will be the last show in the 2018-19 SSCT season, and looks to be a great success. Come see if the butler really did it. Food and beverages will be available for purchase before the show, at intermission and after the show.

endFilm announced the purchase of the beloved Tin Pan Theater to expand its rich tradition of programming the best independent, foreign and leading-edge films. BendFilm has been steadily increasing its year-round offerings in response to community demand for more independent cinema.

In addition to the cutting-edge programming the Tin Pan already showcases, BendFilm will add special programming, leveraging all the incredible

BendFilm wants to expand on all of its visionary work to make this theater a true community resource.

BendFilm will roll out a special film education series for a wide range of audiences, from youth to the retirement community. Almost immediately, they’ll host a four-part series on important genres of world cinema such as Iranian films, which will be hosted by year-round BendFilm programmer Ellen Shelton.

BendFilm will also start Food for Thought, a weekly series of matinee films that will precede a meal at partnering restaurants like Joolz.

BendFilm Announces Purchase of the Town’s Beloved Tin Pan Theater films screened at the festival that don’t typically have the opportunity to enjoy wide-release at public theaters.

BendFilm sees the Tin Pan as the perfect venue to expand its mission to bring the community together through the art form of film to start conversations, connections and inspire action about the things most important to its community members. Tin Pan owners Micah Jordan and Esme LaVoy have built something incredibly special that the Bend local community and visitors have come to cherish.

“Anyone who has entered the Tin Pan immediately falls in love with the space,” says BendFilm Executive Director Todd Looby. “The filmmakers we host, Bend cinephiles and travelers who relax after long days enjoying all Bend has to offer. Micah and Esme built a truly unique space that brings something new to the cinematic experience. At BendFilm, we know film has an undeniable power to connect people and this intimate theater makes that experience all the

F I L M & T H E AT R E more powerful. We cannot wait to bring even more community-building programming to this space — building on the existing fan base and bringing in new film-lovers.”

Another program BendFilm hopes to roll out in the fall is the Early Release Wednesday Film Club, where students from local schools come to the Tin Pan to be introduced to classic and important cinema accompanied by short lectures from local experts.

The theatre will also allow BendFilm to expand Festival operations and programming as any excess revenue from the Tin Pan will be reinvested in the festival.

BendFilm wants to continue hosting great events at the theater such as Armchair and Bend Design, and additionally serve as an incubator for new ideas like what happened with The Night Light Show with Shanan Kelley. bendfilm.org • 541-388-3378

S

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery exhibits paintings by Jean Requa Lubin, Vivian Olsen and Barbara Slater through June 26.

Oil painter Barbara Slater “loved to draw and paint’ as a child. She notes, “I would carefully draw my composition and, when it was just right, I would add lots of color.” Her parents became her greatest advocates, certain that “I would achieve something with my art. I was enrolled in the ‘Famous Artist Course’ for children, painting art for critique.”

Spending time with the calves on her grandfather’s Utah farm, animals became one of her favorite subjects. Though a gifted, lifetime painter, she began to paint these beloved animal subjects, calves, sheep, goats, in earnest in 2008.

During this period, colorful roosters soon joined her menagerie.

Then, on another farm visit, she encountered a day-old colt; childhood memories of its smell and soft coat compelled her to paint the tiny creature.

June 2019 | www.CascadeAE.com

SUNRIVER Thus began the artist’s committed pursuit of Herefords, multiple breeds of horses, iconographic sheep, endearing rabbits, all from the irresistible urge to paint portraits of animal personalities.

Now she adds a new subject in her exhibit at Sunriver Resort Lodge: favorite dogs.

Her dogs appear in well-used pickup trucks, some joyfully greeting their returning “people.”

Others wait, with backs to the viewer, looking out pickup windows, longing for loved ones.

Slater notes, “There’s something endearing about seeing dogs in trucks and car cabs. Their faces so often seem to have a happy expression…as though saying ‘I’m going somewhere fun.’ I continue to be inspired by these dogs …they seem to have unique sense and patience when left behind to wait for the return of a dear friend.”

Two Sleepy Horses, oil by Jean Requa Lubin

Thus, with over 40 years of experience and success, her work commands commissions of family pets, prize-winning horses, and “lots of God’s creatures.” Collectors range from California to Chicago to Colorado and back to Oregon. Yet, Slater notes, her search for the next entrancing subject arises from a singular goal – her growth as an artist that observably serves to attract the Muse.

Joining the exhibit, frequent award winner in equine art, Jean Requa Lubin presents oils including the image Two Sleepy Horses. The artist describes her good fortune in capturing the scene as she “was keeping company with her daughter as she practiced riding for a half marathon.”

Lubin notes, “Just as we rounded the turn in the road, there was a hillside pasture on our left with the two, dozing ‘paint horses,’ and to complete the picture, there was a chattering scrub jay on the fence post just in front of them.” She recalls, “It was a delight to capture in oil paint this perfect, pastoral scene.”

Vivian’s Olsen also joins, showing watercolors including Wood Ducks. She states “my background…in biology and wildlife while working as a research biologist and earning a master’s degree in biology…fueled my desire to become a wildlife artist.”

Achieving her goal, Olsen notes that her Wood Ducks was inspired “by this little guy showing up with the ducks at Cline Falls State Park. Present every morning for three weeks, stopping by while migrating, his beautiful colors and tiny shape were outstanding.

He feistily held his own among the big Mallards. Ducks are a favorite subject for me since studying and working with them on the South Dakota prairie wetlands years ago.”

Thus, three talented and recognized artists join in sharing their delight in animals, wild and domesticated, in the current Sunriver Resort Lodge exhibit, open all hours, continuing through June 26. The resort invites the public to the May 25 complimentary reception from 3:30-5pm in the upper gallery.

A

rtists’ Gallery Sunriver Village is featuring four local Central Oregon artists in June who truly are inspired by life and the world around us.

Janet Akers expands her work with clay into beautiful sculptural forms. The wilds of Oregon provide the inspiration for much of her work. “A walk in the woods becomes a treasure hunt as she finds unique and artistic branches, leaves and seeds. I incorporate these into my clay sculptures to bring the outdoors in.”

Dottie Moniz is inspired by the natural world, especially trees. “Many of my fabric collages are inspired by places I’ve seen and stored in my memory.” Dottie is a master at combining different fabrics, paint and paper to capture the real world. Many of her collage and watercolors are inspired by Central Oregon mountains, streams and trees.

Sylvia Avenius-Ford Dogs,Birds, and Lavender

Sylvia Avenius-Ford has lived and experienced many different world cultures, living in Africa and South America. Her acrylic paintings tend to use a great deal of texture and vibrant colors that bombard the senses in third world countries ….maybe, subconsciously she is recreating this intensity and excitement.

Collecting folk art from around the world has contributed to my imagination and creativity.

Marily Badger is an accomplished glass artist originally from Hawaii.

Her Wave Series, created from fused glass, reflect that background and love of the sea.

Sunriver Public Library 56855 Venture Ln. • 541-312-1080 The Sunriver Library exhibiting ceramics by Dori Kite and IMAGES by CBW, photography by Carolyn B. Waissman, thru June.

Dori is a Bend native, who was introduced to ceramics as part of the art class at Bend High School in 1969. Having always loved making any kind of art, she had found her medium. She worked in ceramics on through college and a degree in Art from Eastern Oregon (never wanted to live in a city) and then was side tracked with other interests for thirty years.

She makes both decorative and functional ceramics and enjoys both wheel throwing and hand building techniques. She chooses the forming method that works best for the project at hand, often a combination of both. Decoration can be as simple as dipping pieces in glaze buckets, but often includes slip trailing, painting wax resist and/or glaze dribbling/ dripping and pouring, as well as speckling through an atomizer. Her goal is to enjoy the process, keep it fresh, and share with others.

“Photography melds my love of nature and art,” says Carolyn. “Central Oregon offers a feast for the photographer and as a longtime local wildlife naturalist and interpreter, I love being outside year round. I always have my camera handy to take advantage of all the great photographic opportunities.

Adventure travel to Europe and Africa, as well as around North America provide subjects for exciting new projects.

Waissman’s other 2011-2019 exhibits include Artists’ Gallery Sunriver, High Desert Museum, Lava Lands-Newberry Crater, Redmond Airport, Sunriver Art Faire, Midstate Electric Calendar and Gallery Bend your Imagination.

Artist’s Studio Tour In & Around Sisters

by HELEN SCHMIDLING for Cascade AE

O

n the last weekend in June, artists in the Sisters area are opening their studios to the public for an up-close view of their creative processes. This is the third annual Artist’s Studio Tour sponsored by the Sisters Arts Association.

This year, the tour has been expanded from one day to two, and the number of artists has grown to 25. Studios will be open on Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30, from 10am to 4pm. This is a free, selfguided driving tour and includes studios in Tumalo, Sisters, Eagle Crest, Squaw Creek Canyon Estates, along Holmes Road and in the Deschutes Canyon just north of Tetherow Crossing. This is a great opportunity to visit studios, meet the artists and discuss their creative by visions and techniques. You can also purchase original works of art Sculpture J. Chester Armstrong directly from the artists. Among the 25 widely collectable artists is sculptor Danae Miller. She is most recently known for creating Journey Through A Land of Contrasts, centerpiece of the Sisters Roundabout. The majestic elk and three antelope were foundry cast in bronze from forms made of wax in Danae’s studio.

She’s also a printmaker. Her work in two- and three-dimensions is influenced by the wildlife she sees all around her. Other sculptors on the tour include Gary Cooley at the Collection Gallery in Sisters, and J. Chester “Skip” Armstrong. Annie Dyer is a potter who creates unique and functional pieces that combine the smooth, rich surfaces of glazed clay with the raw, unfinished textures of nature. Longtime Sisters potter Ken Merrill throws and fires wall art, lamps and functional ware at Canyon Creek Pottery in Sisters. Mary Moore creates one-of-a-kind clay figures at her studio in Eagle Crest. If you are a fan of handmade pottery, these three studios are must-stops on your route. On the

Each artist’s studio is unique. Norma Holmes will have a sample of her forthcoming book, Land Escapes, and Paul Bennett will have his newly released book, Night Skies on hand. Randall Tillery and Chuck Chamberlain are veterans of many artist studio tours and particularly enjoy the one-on-one Studio of Caroline Stratton Crow contact with patrons of their work. Jennifer Hartwig creates one-of-a-kind scratchboard art, sitting in her cozy home studio in the woods along Wychus Creek. She hopes to educate more people about the scratchboard

art. She says, “A lot of people want to have a personal connection with the artist as well as their work, and a studio affords the perfect opportunity.” Two very unique studios belong to glass artists Susie Zeitner of Z Glass Act in Sisters, and Mel Archer, located between Sisters and Redmond. Z Glass Act combines lighting fixtures and glassware, along with custom glass creations. Susie calls her work “painting with light” and involves building imagery through the glass. Mel’s work is multi-layered glass landscapes, inspired by this area and painted in glass colors that he creates himself. The view from both of these studios is worth the effort to visit.

Megan Marie Myers is a painter, illustrator and native Oregonian. Her art explores themes of companionship, protection, wilderness and the greatest adventure of all, love. She likes to use children and animals as her central figures. To her, they charmingly represent the limitless sense of wonder, the yearning to explore and the resilience that each of us carry within. They roam through landscapes inspired by our region’s mountains, forests, deserts, rock formations, beaches and rivers. However, the settings are often amplified as though you are experiencing a dream, a memory or a figment of imagination. The end result is a gentle invitation to reconnect with your natural surroundings and to each other.

NEW PERSPECTIVES FOR MAY

B

egin the month with as much trust as possible when the New Moon on the 3rd brings change. Conversations become more emotional and there is a desire for more integration on the 4th. Unexpected changes on the 7th ask for you to let go of the past and move forward.

Trust yourself as you make decisions on the 10th and realize you may need to step outside of your comfort zone. Be open to learning something new about yourself.

Listen to your intuition on the 13th as you move forward into something that feels awkward. Conversations on the 16th will show you there is cooperation and support for your personal expansion. The Full Moon on the 17th invites you to stretch your perception of what is possible. Consider something that is bigger and better than ever on the 18th and 19th as a significant transformation is occurring.

The Summer Solstice on the 21st invites you to look back and appreciate everything that has brought you to this point. Find some quiet time over

the next few days to simply catch up with yourself. Talk about yourself after the 26th and it will be easier for you to understand what to do next.

Let yourself wander a little over the last few days and enjoy simply doing whatever crosses your path.
