The exhibit features 36 of Ben Marra’s large color portraits of powwow dancers.

LTA Gallery

611 NE Jackpine Ct., #3, Redmond 541-316-0362 • darrenklingart.net

LTA is an aviation acronym that stands for Lighter Than Air, referring to aircraft that are able to float in aerostatic equilibrium such as a hot air balloon. Darren Kling is an Aeronaut, also known as a hot air balloon pilot. For nearly 30 years flying balloons has been Darrens’ profession and during this time he’s also been making art. “The ongoing expression of flying balloons and making art has been the consistent thread my life has followed. Since the beginning I’ve searched out ways to show the connection between these two seemingly separate activities. For me, flying balloons is an art form in every way, and I’ve always challenged myself to show how these two expressions can overlap, merge and provide perspectives that I would never have otherwise.”

LTA Gallery is a project by Darren which now incorporates his two passions into a space where his artwork can be viewed and the “art of flight” experienced. Darrens’ artwork is primarily landscape based, rendered with a fluid and abstract style, he works in various mediums including oil, acrylic, ink, as well as reclaimed wood pieces.

Schoolhouse Produce

1430 SW Highland Ave., Redmond 541-504-7112 schoolhouseproduce.com

Schoolhouse Produce is featuring the work of SageBrushers Art Society member Sue McLaughlin. Art was a passion for Sue from an early age, but was put aside after college to pursue a career in business. After moving from Utah to Oregon in 2000 with her husband and son, that artistic drive was reignited by the beauty and grandeur of Oregon and by the area’s vibrant community of artists. Stop in for outstanding local food and see Sue’s lovely artwork in both watercolor and oil. Showing thru September.
