NASELLE, WASH. – Farmstock, a regional homegrown festival, is coming Sept. 1. Opening the musical portion of the festival, on the main stage at 7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 1, is Kim Angelis, Gypsy-inspired violin virtuoso. She will be joined by guitarist and partner, Josef Gault. “Gypsy Kim and Josef are longtime supporters of Coast Community Radio,” said Tom Hartland, development director for Tillicum Foundation, the nonprofit corporation operating KMUN 91.9 FM. “Their high-energy musicianship thrills audiences at every performance.” Also headlining the main stage will be Ma Barley, a regional favorite inspired by Bob Marley, playing high-energy reggae for dancing late into the night. Music for Farmstock begins midday, featuring local favorites Johnny Ward, the Beerman Creek String Band, plus troubadour Niall Carroll and a new combo, Sweet Young Things, featuring Joey Patenaude. Host Fred Johnson will open his 70-acre farm at 201 S. Valley Road to Farmstock, the celebration of all things local and sustainable
in the lower Columbia region. The festival takes place Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1 and 2. Johnson invites any and all to the Farmstock Farmers Market, which he states will be “starting at 10 a.m. and open until it sells out.” Along with the market, workshops will be offered throughout the weekend on a variety of topics, including all-grain brewing, biochar composting, fruit wine making, winter gardening and more. Further applying his prior profession as chef and caterer, Johnson will revive his culinary skills for the Fresh Food Court starting at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, featuring local and sustainably harvested Oregon pink shrimp provided by Bornstein Seafoods. The Fort George Beer Garden opens at 1 p.m., and sales of food and beverages will benefit programming for Coast Community Radio’s three noncommercial stations: KMUN 91.9 FM Astoria, KTCB 89.5 FM Tillamook and KCPB 90.9 Classics for the Coast. Advance tickets are available until Aug. 31 for Fred’s Farmhouse Dinner, sourced locally and served lavishly at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2. The dinner price of $25 per person will include

Sunday morning, Farmstock visitors will be treated to coffee and scones from Columbia River Coffee Roaster and Three Cups Coffee House. Other than the dinner, admission is free. Ample parking at $5 per car adds to the proceeds for the benefit of programming on KMUN. Dry camping is also available at $20 for those wishing to stay the full weekend. Local and independent since 1983, KMUN has grown from the support of its estimated 14,300 weekly listeners to become by far the region’s most-listened-to station. Information and dinner tickets can be obtained at CoastRadio.org/farmstock or by calling the station during business hours at 503-325-0010. Interested exhibitors, vendors, workshop presenters and volunteers can contact coordinators at KMUNfarmstock@gmail.com to participate.

OCEAN PARK, WASH. – There will be an exhibit of found-object assemblage art by James K. Russell from Aug. 24 to Sept. 10, at Bay Avenue Gallery, 1406 Bay Ave. The exhibit, “20 Works: Objects on Wheels,” will coincide with Rod Run to the End of the World. The exhibit starts with an artist’s reception from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24. Russell found old toy cars, trucks, doll and car parts mostly in abandoned city dumps in small Idaho towns in the 1970s and ’80s. He also visited car swap meets and antique shops and found a smattering of newer objects in thrift shops, which were added to complete some works. “Those were the days,” said Russell, “Dumps like this no longer exist. You can’t find most of these conditioned old items now. They are rare! They were rusty, unwhole or broken and bent out of shape. They were then cleaned, pounded into form, most of them painted and then assembled to create interesting motifs. They are presented in a way unlike most found object artists. Philosophically, they evoke humor, sarcasm, hidden agenda and dual meaning. Some are just straightforward.”

Searching for Paradise Lost
S
ometimes in the morning, amber shafts of light weave through an understory of ancient cedar trees, bathing the landscape like an accomplished painter with a brush full of rich oil pigment. Unfortunately, in 2012, that scene is not common. In the late afternoon, high above Elsworth Creek, in second- and third-growth forest, peaks of evergreen are smothered in thin coastal fog. All is still. Three friends climb up a steep logging road, their breath heavy with exertion, their footfall interrupting rare and natural silence. The men are seeking a kind of green paradise – at least, a small piece of paradise. You may choose to call that Paradise Lost. The friends are seeking a small grove of western cedar, a tip passed by a hiker to Scott Lee of Bikes and Beyond, and a new county commissioner. Third in the party is Rob Neale. Rob is American, but ran a business out of Hong Kong before retiring to Seaview, Wash., the same home he summered in as a boy. He has a deep sense of adventure. The logging road rises and falls, mimicking our breath and the contour of the Willapa Hills. We have been told that the climb is less than two miles from Parpala Road, a logging road just a mile east from the Naselle bridge. The two-mile walk and the location of the grove elude us for a while. We stick to the main logging road, but make a few forays down side trails to old logging landings. No luck. We find lots of foxglove and bear scat but no cedar. Two miles turns to three – we walk on, still determined to consummate an adventure. Along the way, Continued on Page 9

Cannon Beach Gallery Call for art, featured artist announced for exhibit
CANNON BEACH – Jennifer Zika, of the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery, will curate “Room with a View,” a juried art show at Cannon Beach Gallery in September. The exhibit will feature painter Deborah DeWit in addition to the juried show. The show opens with an artists’ reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, and will run until Sept. 30. DeWit recently moved to the Oregon Coast, where she is remodeling a 1922 farmhouse with her husband, filmmaker Carl Vandervoort. A well-known Northwest artist, DeWit has been featured in several books, including “Traveling Light: Chasing an Illuminated Life,” a literary memoir about her photographic years; “In the Presence of Books,” a portfolio of more than 40 of her pastels and paintings about reading; and “Painting Cats,” a story of her experience taming a feral cat, named Cabbit, illustrated by her many cat paintings. Artists interested in submitting work to the juried component of the show should bring their artwork in to the gallery, 1064 S. Hemlock St., between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6, for consideration. For more information about how to exhibit at the Cannon Beach Gallery, visit www.cannonbeacharts.org

Lynda Campbell, surrounded by her pastels, works on a driftwood still life with reflection.
Trail’s End Art Association Intricate nature inspires pastel artist GEARHART – Trail’s End Art Association’s artist of the month for September is Lynda Campbell. A selection of Campbell’s pastel works, “Reflections,” will be highlighted in the Trail’s End gallery during the month. Intrigued by nature’s intricacies – the subtle colors, contrast, texture, wood, water, reflections and more – and working in pastel, Campbell strives to capture the twists and turns nature provides to an artist’s eye. Many of her works contain an abstract or impressionistic tone. “There is a beauty in the stumps and snags and forgotten remains I portray, reflecting
strength, stability and life,” said Campbell. “They once reached for light, air and water as we do. Their journey is our journey. We grow from a tiny seed into the fullest of our being. We experience life’s challenges, become stronger, weathered and resilient.” Campbell will demonstrate her work at Trail’s End Art Association Saturday, Sept. 1, during an open house just before Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk. The open house, with refreshments, will be from 3 to 6 p.m. and Campbell’s demonstration will take place around 4 p.m. A graduate of the University of Oregon,
Campbell taught art in Springfield and at Seaside High School before leaving to raise a family. She then went on to teach art education for more than 22 years at Broadway Middle School in Seaside. Also during September, Trail’s End will display other artists’ offerings, including oil paintings, watercolor, collage, photography, artisan jewelry and more. The September gallery show can be viewed at http://trailsendart.org Trail’s End Art Association gallery is located at 656 A St. and can be reached at 503717-9458.
Studio 11 Jamie Boyd to teach glass workshop ASTORIA – Learn to illustrate glass tiles using kiln-formed (fused) glass techniques. Jamie Boyd will demonstrate various effects you can get with powdered glass, glass frit, pulled glass stringers and confetti glass. Boyd has worked with glass as an art form since 1980 and has taught kiln-formed glass through Studio 11 and Studio Access and Gallery in Astoria since 2004. Boyd completed a kiln-form glass teacher’s program at Bullseye
Glass Company in 2005. As a glass artist, she has had her works accepted into juried shows, including Bullseye Emerging Artist 2010, Tacoma’s Museum of Glass Red Hot Party and Auction 2011-12. She shows her works locally at Studio 11 and Cannon Beach Gallery. The workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, at Studio 11, 453A 11th St. Six participants will walk away with two
completed glass tiles. Saturday lunch will be offered and there will be a social hour following the Sunday session, when nonparticipants may visit and view the work. Cost is $125 per person. Beginners and advanced glass artists are welcome. Bring drawings of images you may want reproduced in glass, 8 by 8 inches or 6 by 10 inches. Contact Boyd at 503-791-9435 or azure10@juno.com to register.

Gnarled trunk of an ancient one – a cedar behind Elsworth Creek.
Continued from Page 4
we pick a few ripe berries from low bush blackberries. They taste sweet and so good. At about the three-mile mark, Scott spots the telltale candelabra top of an ancient cedar, this one about 500 years old. The grove is the first of two, each on opposite sides of the logging road. Many of the cedar approach the millennium mark. Immediately, one is struck by an emotion difficult to define, or perhaps what a Zen master might choose not to define. The beauty, size and strength of these ancient trees trumps the imagination, twists it into an emotion somewhat similar to teenage infatuation. This experience with a 1,000year-old western cedar is nothing short on the emotional scale of 10-of-10. And so close to home. On the west side of the valley, where the small river runs through, rests another stand of cedar, already rooted into the earth during the age of the mastodons. Nature Conservancy and the Department of Natural Resources protect the trees. Together they have tied up the corridor that runs from Elsworth to Bear River. A large part of the story relates back to Rex Ziak and his decade-long obsession to save those few remaining stands. Rex planted the preservation seed and then dedicated years in a personal quest to protect the endangered old-growth cedar. He is a determined

and affable man, and the community owes him much. Only 3 percent of the once immense old-growth remains in Washington state. In a lifetime of grandchildren and theirs, none of the reseeded trees will reach this kind of maturity. Give that 500 years. The mission of such conservancy is survival of a species. An additional goal is to preserve and reproduce the type of forest that Lewis and Clark so marveled at. Back in the grove, the largest of cedars approach 200 feet, but the girth impresses more than the height. The gnarled contoured body, thick bark and limbs so like the trunks of mastodons, fires the imagination like the surprise of encountering a giant elephant or blue whale. Both Rob and Scott reach for their cameras. The image will reproduce well, but – in fairness – it will rarely breach the difference between a Kodak experience and that of a “Be, Here, Now” moment. I pat the
bark of the largest cedar. To be honest, the moment seems spiritual, kind of a natural epiphany. I’ve visited giant sequoia and redwood, stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon, spellbound. None of that was finer. We amble for about an hour or more. Nobody is keeping score, but dusk is threatening. We stumble downhill; stumble across more and more of the great monsters. Night comes on, dark and mysterious. The walk was long, but rewards have trumped expectations. We have been to the nature’s altar and the Force has spoken. I couldn’t hear the words, but I have been smitten. As I hike my mind ambles. Lollygagging, I explore the great words of John Muir. “Everybody needs beauty,” he said, “as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.”

Art takes flight at the Washington State International Kite Festival
C
onsider the kite: A lightweight frame covered with a thin material, designed to fly in the wind at the end of a tethered line. This captivating little form first appeared on the documented timeline of human history almost 2,500 years ago and its popularity and cultural significance has yet to wane. For centuries, kites have been flown for reasons both practical and pleasurable. They signal victory, plead for a good harvest and announce the birth of a child. We’ve used them as tools for measurement, communication, military conquest and scientific discovery. In parts of the world, they feature prominently in religious ceremony, playing faithful conduit to the spirit-filled heavens. But is a kite a work of art? “Oh yes, absolutely,” says Kay Buesing, director of the World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. “For almost as long as we’ve been putting them in the sky, people have used kites for artistic expression.” She should know. For more than 20 years

Buesing has helped develop, expand and preserve the largest collection of kites and kite history in North America, perhaps the world. “Kites are universal, so is the making of art,” Buesing muses. “I think it’s a lovely pairing.” Long thought to be the sole invention of China, most anthropologists now concur that humanity’s first flyers probably developed simultaneously in Indonesia and the South Pacific islands. The earliest and simplest versions were made from large leaves reinforced with twigs and fastened to a length of vine. Soon after, carvings made from the lightest of woods took the shape of birds in near perfect flight, their only giveaway an earthly chain of string. With the invention of paper, evermore elaborate designs and brilliant embellishments began to develop and kite-making became a practiced art. Throughout Asia, kites of brightly colored animals and intricate geometric figures began to rise among the clouds like stained glass in the skies, bearing on their sails the painted scenes of Continued on Page 11

local legends, along with symbols for the hopes and dreams of the people who’d created them. Over time, kites became an intrinsic part of Eastern culture, playing increasingly vital roles in sacred ceremonies as well as in everyday celebrations and pastimes.

The North Coast: With the Pacific Ocean, Willapa Bay and the mighty Columbia River all within striking distance, paddlers have a lot of options – so many that it may be difficult to know where to start. Safety first onprofit Washington Water Trails (WWT) Executive Director Julie Anderson has the best suggestion: “Safety first! Paddling is great for all ages. The good thing is that there are lots of different nonmotorized vessels to choose from – sea kayaks, canoes or, the big rage, stand-up paddle boards. But the main thing is to find an outfitter or an experienced The Chinook Nation joined other Northwest tribes in the Intertribal Canoe Journey – Paddle to Squaxin earlier this paddler so you can educate yourself about the dangers.” year. – PHOTO COURTESY OF PADDLE TO SQUAXIN 2012 “Our waters are cold, so you need to dress for immersion in the water, not necessarily just for the air temperature. You have to be prepared for the water temperatures, the winds, the currents and tides. I was paddling way up the Columbia River a couple years ago and we were surprised that we were still feeling the tidal pull – sometimes all the way to Portland.” Anderson’s advice is well taken. Even on a relatively calm day on Willapa Bay, paddling can be dangerous. Tidal currents are fierce and the water temperatures range from 45 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit, even on a summer day. A life jacket is a necessity. Willapa National Wildlife Refuge wildlife biologist Bill Ritchie, said, “On the bay it’s advisable that paddlers have a tide chart. And it’s always good to have nautical charts if you anticipate a longer paddle. On those extremely low tides, vessels drop down into those channels and paddlers lose their horizon because they can’t see the shoreline.” Will George, a ranger at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, prepares to push off from Netul Landing leading a paddle up the Lewis “And we typically get winds that pick up in the and Clark River. – ALEX PAJUNAS afternoon – on an outgoing tide with a southwest 12 | August 23, 2012 | coastweekend.com
headwind it can be a challenge getting back to shore.”
Day paddles There are many short paddle routes to be found around the North Coast. One quickie is to put in at the Wildlife Refuge boat launch – 13 miles north of lwaco on U.S. Highway 101 – and head across Long Island channel to the old ferry landing about 100 yards away. Or on a high tide of six feet or more, you can paddle to one of five different primitive campgrounds on Long Island (no reservations required). If you want to make a day of it, pack a lunch and take the 7-mile round-trip hike to the Don Bonker Cedar Grove of towering old-growth. Another short paddle is offered by the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park at Fort Clatsop. Ranger John McAndrews said, “We do a paddle here at the park Thursday through Monday at high tide, so the times change a little every day. It’s an hour and a half paddle and there is no additional cost besides the park entry fee.” “We leave from Netul Landing after an orientation. We’ve got four kayaks and three yaks and each ranger gives a slightly different program – some focus on restoration projects, others more on the history. It’s a lot of fun.” Call the park at 503-861-4425 to make reservations; they still have a few spots open later this month.
Paddle expeditions Expedition paddling is the gold standard for serious kayakers. That’s why WWT is working to keep shorelines and camping accessible to the public. “Our mission is to make sure we can preserve public access to the water,” said Anderson. “Eighty percent of our Washington state shorelines are privately owned,
and of that remaining 20 percent, 10 percent are cliffs or are basically unusable. So we have 10 percent of our shoreline to work with.” “We also partner with many Oregon organizations, like the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership,” Anderson added. This group stewards the Lower Columbia Water Trail – a 146mile trail from the Bonneville Dam to the Pacific Ocean. The LCREP website map indicates where paddlers can pull up and camp, find a place to eat, or look at points of interest along the way. Ken Karch, part-time Long Beach Peninsula resident, is a paddler who took on an unusual challenge in the lead up to the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. He and his buddy Bernie Gerkens set off to re-create part of the 1805 Lewis and Clark Columbia River trip. They made the 136 mile paddle from Beacon Rock to the Port of Chinook in six days, carrying all their gear, food, tide tables, charts and a GPS device. As they wrote on Day 1: “We noted that high tide is about six hours later than in Astoria and low tide about 7.5 hours later.” The account of their trip is fascinating; they’ve interspersed their observations and photographs with notations from the expedition journals. Karch sums up their trip like this, “The combination of tidal currents, winds, boat traffic, beauty of the landscape and relatively undeveloped shores … make the lower Columbia River a very attractive and, sometimes challenging, sea-kayaking experience for the expedition-minded kayaker.”
Intertribal journey We cannot leave the topic of paddling without acknowledging the longstanding expertise of the Chinook Nation, noted in
all early literature for both the design of their canoes and their mastery of the water. Chinook Tribal Elder and past Chairman Gary Johnson, said, “We just completed our Intertribal Canoe Journey – Paddle to Squaxin – starting close to where my grandmother was born. We spent two days coming down the Columbia River, then we portaged over and went from Long Island, Bear River area, to Bay Center. Then we went across from Bay Center to Shoalwater and spent two days there and around to Chehalis.” “It’s an important journey and we do a lot of that for the youth, so they can learn. We have special protocols – each tribe presents their songs, dances and drumming. It takes months to prepare all the regalia. It has benefits for everyone traveling along – an important part of it is the strong relations that are developed with all of the tribes.” Commenting on the traditional Chinookan canoe and paddle, Johnson said, “It’s recorded that clipper ships, the fastest sailing ships ever designed, were designed right off the hull of Chinook canoes. Those canoes are just amazing – they can handle any kind of water. They were perfected over thousands of years.” So whether you paddle for fun, to experience the wilderness, or to educate the next generation and teach your culture, paddling is an integral part of life on the North Coast.

hen it comes to summer, is there anything better than grilled salmon? It’s got to be the trademark flavor for the place where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean – a flawless match of briny and sweet.

After you’ve brushed the marinade on the tops, use your hand to flip the fish over and lay it down on the grill with a diagonal sweeping motion of your hand. As soon as it’s on, season the other side and brush the marinade on. Last, don’t micromanage. Don’t be tempted to keep touching the Continued on Page 21

ASTORIA – There has been much malarkey building in the Portland area over the past 20 years and now the Sons of Malarkey are bringing it to the rest of the world. Band members say coming from a city named Scappoose, you have to have a sense of humor, and the Sons of Malarkey’s humor is created by the strong friendships among its members. The first spark of what would later become the Sons began with a trip one member, Jason Hohl, took to Ireland in 2004. His interest in Celtic music became an obsession after a second trip in 2007. While performing in a duo, Hohl started incorporating traditional Irish and Scottish music into their shows, which caught the ear of their friends, Josh Curll and Jereb Scott. The three of them decided to form what became the Sons of Malarkey. As the newly formed band began to find their sound, their influences from groups such as the Dubliners, the Pogues, Christie Moore, the Waterboys, the Young Dubliners and Gaelic Storm created a desire for a fuller sound. “We wanted to start playing pubs and rocking out a bit more so we contacted our old friend Dave (Battrick),” whom Hohl has known for 20 years. Battrick brought his passion for music to the Sons and blended in his Amer-

fish with tongs or your metal spatula, moving it around a little bit each time. Leaving it be for a few minutes will allow it to sear the juices in and create crackling, smoky-flavored grill marks. Those charred lines will let go of the metal with a gentle slide of the spatula.
Turn the fish 90 degrees for two more minutes on the first side before basting again and flipping. Aim for diamond grill marks (follow procedure below), but be perfectly satisfied with a bit of rustic char. Practice a few times and you’ll want to ditch the tin foil wrap method and
grill fish directly on the grill every time. This technique can be repeated with any fish – from albacore to rockfish – and even chicken. Deeda Schroeder is a former reporter with The Daily Astorian who has a special interest in food.

Salmon grilling Tools you’ll need: Long-handled metal tongs, metal turning spatula, marinating brush or pastry brush, clean towel (folded and tied into a bundle with twine works well) dipped in vegetable oil to keep the cooking grate seasoned, a small dish of sea salt and freshcracked black pepper mixed together. Prepare your grill, removing any charred bits with a grill brush and swabbing the grill with oil to create a better nonstick surface. Beware: Dripping oil will create flames, so move fast and don’t oversaturate the cloth. After you’ve prepared your grill, lay salmon fillets, skin side down, on a plate and season liberally with sea salt and pepper. Brush marinade on the tops of each

piece and then lay salmon fillets, skin side up, diagonally on grill. Season the exposed side with salt and pepper and brush liberally with salmon marinade. Do not disturb for a full 2 to 3 minutes, until you can see grill marks forming when a corner is turned up with a metal spatula. Then use the metal spatula to turn the fish 90 degrees (without flipping) for diamond grill marks. Again, wait 2 minutes, until grill marks have formed. Baste again to keep fish moist and stop it from sticking, then flip over. Baste exposed side. Allow to cook until the thickest part is firm to the touch or 130 degrees with an internal thermometer. If you like it medium-rare, remove at 120 degrees. Baste once more just before serving. Eat immediately!

Fairweather House and Garden
Vineyard artist is inspired by coastal bird life
SEASIDE – What happens when an artist is paired with her company – a vineyard – and then is asked to show the personal relationship between works of art and a winery business? Visitors to Fairweather House and Garden can find out starting Aug. 21, with a new exhibit, “Swan Hotel,” encaustic paintings by Patricia Clark-Finley. The gallery is located at 612 Broadway in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. There will be an open house from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, with Clark-Finley in attendance. Healthy snacks will be served, along with samples of wine from the artist's vineyard. “Swan Hotel” is a series of art that has became the branding model for a vineyard and a winery; the signature pieces from the artist’s portfolio are familiar to wine-lovers and customers of Pike Place Market Cellar Winery and Mount Baker Vineyards. The series is inspired by the marvelous birds of the Columbia-Pacific region, and the people who dare to live on a narrow strip of dunes pressed between the Pacific Ocean, Willapa Bay and the Columbia River. Clark-Finley studied at the University of Washington and University of California, Berkeley, and holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She also spent time at the Carl Jung Institute, the San Francisco Center for the Book and Crown Point Press. Her degree is in multimedia art, so she has worked in a lot of different mediums, mostly expressing the imaginative world. Her art is processed as a moment in time through the lens of mythology, belief systems, narrative and personal experience. As an artist, her goal is to create a portal to that world, using the area’s euphoric light, drama, metaphor and humor to capture her imagination. 22 | August 23, 2012 | coastweekend.com
Clark-Finley works from her studio in Ocean Park, Wash. She has had solo and group shows in San Francisco and Scottsdale, Ariz., and has been included in many juried regional and national exhibitions. Signature pieces appear on labels for the Finleys’winery and Mount Baker Vineyards. She does most of the graphics for the winery and has brought it from a cozy spot in the foothills to become an established player in the industry. Clark-Finley said, “Some places, I had been and thought: ‘this is nice,’ but this place, I came to and thought ‘I am not leaving.’” “I was sure about my path in life when my mother took me to New York as an adolescent and showed me all the museums there. At the UW, there were some good teachers in the art department, who gave me confidence and courage. I moved to San Francisco where the art world rocked and fed off the other disciplines around the Bay Area with an intensity that can only come from a big city. I finished my degree at the San Francisco Art Institute, and also spent time at the Carl Jung Institute, the San Francisco Center for the Book, Crown Point Press, and UC Berkeley. “Randy Finley and I were college sweethearts who renewed our old flame after we had both had other lives and children. Randy had this winery in Washington. We finally married and I bought a beach house for my art practice.” Clark-Finley has been working with encaustic since about 2002. “I am intrigued by the intense color, high luminosity and textural qualities of wax,” she said, “as well as its history as an art form.” Showing at Fairweather is a group of large format drawings, encaustics and prints from the series “Swan Hotel.” For more information, go to www.fairweatherhouseandgarden.com
