The awardwinning artist will highlight her paintings of Central Cascade lakes, rivers and mountains. “Most of my work is created outdoors, with the scene unfolding in front of me. The process is exhilarating as I strive to capture the fleeting energy of the moment in real time on my canvas.”

March Exhibit at Tumalo Art Co. — Eqiulux, group exhibit. For March, the artists in Tumalo Art Co. will celebrate the Equilux with a group exhibit opening March 3, from 3-7pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Old Mill District. Twice a year, day and night reach a perfect balance of 12 hours each, creating a little-known event called the Equilux. The Equilux happens just a few days before the much more well-known equinox, which happens March 20 this year. Equilux means “equal light” in Latin and describes when day and night are equal.

This is a compelling subject for artists who are often enthralled by that moment when day becomes night and the incredible light effects that are produced. Art in many mediums and sizes will describe the effect of light and dark on the land and objects in this exhibit.

Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District open seven days a week.
