In this natural history exhibit, visitors will learn about this subnivium environment, the seasonal habitat where animals, plants, and fungi flourish.

David, whose career was launched with a sold out show at Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco, has been a professional artist for 57 years.

He was a featured artist for the American Artist Magazine, and his collectors include Michael Douglas, Mary Tyler Moore, the Howard Ahmansons, the Robert Takkens, the Cargill Corporation and the Hind and Hirshhorn Foundations. The San Francisco Chronicle’s Thomas Albright, in his review of David Kreitzer’s first solo exhibit at Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco, wrote: “Kreitzer demonstrates how much poetic intensity the old tradition can still contain.” He has recently moved to Bend from the California coast, where he resides with his wife, celebrated opera singer Jacalyn Kreitzer.

Peterson Contemporary Art

550 NW Franklin Ave. 541-633-7148 • pcagallery.com

Peterson Contemporary Art is proud to be featuring the work of Anton Pavlenko, Ken Roth and Scott Switzer, three gifted artists who are inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. On First Friday, January 6, our show, Incoming, will open from 5-8pm.

Anton Pavlenko was home schooled since moving to the U.S. in 1990 from Ukraine. Originally drawn to experience and paint the landscape from direct observation, en plein air, his artistic practice has expanded to adopt a more contemplative approach to painting, focusing on personal and reflective expressions of him and his relationship to the world around him.

Ken Roth has been working as an artist and educator for the past 25 years and has built a committed following of collectors and students. He has taught art at middle, high school and college levels as well as conducted painting workshops in the northwest and California. He considers his teaching an integral part of his own creative process.

Scott Switzer’s oils are colorfully bold and executed in the cubism style. He is equally adept with any subject: landscapes, portraits, wildlife or still life subject matter. The paintings of this award-winning artist have been featured for more than three decades in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and cultural centers throughout the United States.

The Stacks Art Studios & Gallery

Old Mill District, Second Floor 404-944-9170

The Stacks Art Studios & Gallery features the artwork and work of local creators Lindsey Luna Tucker, Kira Frances, Lindsay Gilmore, Ashley Paggi and Alyson Brown.

Lindsey Luna Tucker uses her sensitivity to emotion, exaggeration of gesture and manipulation of color and space, to create abstract landscape oil paintings. While her work is rooted in a visual awareness of the physical world, she favorites emotional truth over visual realism.

Kira Frances creates oil paintings to investigate the nature of truth and share alternative realms of beauty. For her still life pieces, she sets up the objects and alters their context just enough to suggest a dream-like landscape; for her geometric pieces, she takes an idea and deconstructs it, revealing the concept through the display of shapes and angles.

Lindsay Gilmore creates abstract landscape paintings inspired by the colors and compositions that have captivated her while on adventures outdoors with her family.

Ashley Paggi (Ash Cascade) is a surface pattern designer whose bohemian/ retro style evokes a polished yet gritty sense of place. While she mainly licenses her art, you can find some of her own products such as bandanas, mugs and
