tional and nontraditional mediums. The paints drip and flow into one another, drying at varying rates on an over-sized canvas, hand starched by the artist. “The need to create is a driving and binding force in my life. I am moved by that which surrounds me and it is reflected in my work,� Reed writes in her artist statement. “My paintings are raw, edgy, restless, intense and always evolving. For me, painting is about connection with emotion. It’s about capturing that one moment in time. That one moment where your emotions are so strong, so mixed up, not known ... the work makes for great moments – it’s raw feeling. “One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite painters: ‘Color is my daylong obsession, joy and torment,’ said Claude Monet. Take out the word

‘color’ and put in ‘art’ and that quote is perfection.� Reed grew up in Northern California, moved to Fort Bragg on the East Coast, then later moved to the Nevada desert to attend the University of Nevada: Reno, majoring in education.

2013 ANNUAL COAST WEEKEND

PHOTO contest 1

P

hotographers blew us away this year in the 2013 Coast Weekend Photo Contest. Not only were entries as beautiful and interesting as ever – but there were almost 500 more entries this year compared to last. Judges had to wade through 876 photos and determine the best of the best. This year there were great turnouts by photographers from the local Columbia Paci¿c region, the central Oregon Coast, the Portland metro area and Eastern Oregon.

Pamela Getchell, 43, of Rhododendron, took advantage of Oregon’s frosty winter weather this year. Her “Frozen Horsetail Falls” won the judges’ pick for ¿rst place. The photo is an artistically enhanced H'R photo, blending ¿ve manually bracketed e[posures taken 'ec. 8 at Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.

People’s Choice

Adam Sims, 25, of Pendleton, took Second Place with “Eastern Oregon Barn and Milky Way.” The milky way sits behind this beautiful old barn in Eastern Oregon. “I left my vehicle’s lights on while I took this shot to bring out as much detail as possible in the foreground,” Sims says of this artistically enhanced photo. Seaside’s Jeff Daly, 62, captured third place with a photo of a Columbia River Bar Pilot boarding the Conner Foss in “Sunset Transfer.”

Almost 1,300 viewers voted on coastweekend.com for the People’s Choice photo – which Andrew Rams, 41, of Beaverton, won. His photo of a pre-dawn Haystack Rock was taken with a 30-second exposure. Rams also snagged an Honorable Mention with his photo “'awn Patrol Canon.” Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to all who entered. It’s amazing to see the beauty and variety of our area, and we can’t wait to see what you shoot for next year. – Rebecca Sedlak, Coast Weekend editor

Five Minutes With ... LORI DILLON

Raised on a farm on the Oregon-Idaho border, this Manzanita-based artist and musician has lived in Tillamook County since 1977. (Soon she’ll be a 40-year resident, aka a Tillamook Pioneer, something that qualifies to get you in free at the Tillamook County Fair.) Also known by her maiden name of Lori Slatter, this semi-retired banjo-player wants to paint the wind. What sparked your interest in art? I feel being creative is human, and we all have different outlets for our creativity. I can’t remember not being drawn into creating visual art, interpreting the great outdoors and wanting to replicate it and the feeling it brings me. I was encouraged from a young age by my mother and many wonderful art teachers. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show? My art mediums include pen and ink, acrylic paint, soft pastel and water color. In my

mixed-media art, sometimes all of these are used, including fabric and plaster. Usually my subject matter is nature and/or landscape related. My art is shown at the 4th Street Gallery and in the foyer of the Hartson Building in downtown Manzanita. I am involved in local art shows as well, including an annual June art show at NCRD in Nehalem. What have you been working on recently? Recently I took an oil painting class that has gotten my artistic juices flowing – I’m very excited about this classic medium. Also, I’ve been

News-Review Gardeners who like to experiment with unique plants will want to keep an eye out in a few years for a blueberry tree created by Oregon State University. Wei Qiang Yang, blueberry agent for the Oregon State University Extension Service, has tested a grafted blueberry “tree” that grows on a single stem on a research plot at OSU’s North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora every year since 2009. Yang is collaborating with researchers who are testing other blueberry varieties grafted onto rootstocks at land-grant universities in California and Florida as

part of a multi-state effort. If results continue to show promise, the blueberry tree could be ready for release to nurseries in approximately three years for gardeners.

I have plucked a little banjo recently for fundraising purposes at the Hoffman Center and the Lower Nehalem Community Trust. Who are some of your favorite musicians? I love music, especially live music, and I’m always pleased with musical events at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach. I enjoyed banjo player Bela Fleck and his wife Abigail Washbourne performing there recently. I never miss violinist and vocalist Kathryn Claire’s performances. What inspires you? I am inspired by the emotions that local scenery, colors and light spark in me. In my art, I try to portray that onto my canvases. Like one of my artist idols, Emily Carr, I want to be able to paint the wind!
