The 35th annual Lincoln City Flower Show, “Gardens Around the World,” will fill the Lincoln City Community Center with beauty this weekend. Everyone who enjoys gardening is invited to bring their best entries on Saturday, Aug. 12, between 7:30 and 9:45 am. The show is open to all competitors, including kids of all ages. Garden Club members will be on hand to help place entries in the correct categories for the judging. Judges trained by National Garden Clubs from the Portland area will select ribbon winners in each group. Visitors can vote for their favorite exhibits to receive People’s Choice Awards in addition to the ribbons awarded by the judges. The show will then be open to the public from 1 to 5 pm on Saturday and noon to 3 pm on Sunday. Admission is free. The horticulture division is for plants grown by the exhibitor, which includes cut flowers, potted plants and

vegetables. Class numbers and information on preparing entries are in the schedule brochure, which can be picked up at the swimming pool desk at the community center prior to the show. Rules and other information are also included. The Design classes are for the artistic, using plant materials as the medium to create interesting flower arrangements. Materials can be obtained anywhere and need not be grown by the exhibitor. Designs are judged on their

artistic merit, rather than on horticultural prowess. Entry classes are titled to fit the theme of “Gardens Around the World” and include not only arrangements to fit a two-foot table space, but also an opportunity for a three-foot space, or a design in a teacup or a teapot, or small design under eight inches overall. The list of design choices is in the schedule brochure. Kids can enter cut flowers or container plants, provided they have contributed to the work of growing them, or floral designs for which materials can be obtained anywhere, purchased or cut from someone’s home garden. Both youth and adult classes include artistic garden crafts, incorporating plant materials in any craft, including miniature gardens and fairy gardens. Or enter a hat, decorated with plant materials, or a “tussie mussie” for “Tea at Hampton Garden.” The show is sponsored by Lincoln City Community Center and members of three local garden clubs, Depoe Bay, Ocean Spray and Salmon River.

A hot literary ticket Portland author Liz Prato will visit Manzanita this Saturday, Aug. 12, to lead a writing workshop and to read from her collection of short stories, “Baby’s on Fire.” The workshop, “Writing Outside the Box,” will include a lecture and guided writing and will encourage students to unleash their creativity and write outside traditional prose structure. “All stories and essays are different, so it stands to reason they don’t all require the same structure,” Prato said. “In this class, we’ll break out of the standard narrative box and have fun exploring the forms available for telling your best story.” The workshop will run from 1 to 3 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts, 594 Laneda Avenue. Tuition is $40 and students can register at hoffmanblog. org. Prato will read from “Baby’s on Fire” at 4 pm on Saturday, at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore, 148 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita. The book won high praise from Dylan Landis, author of “Rainey Royal.” “Liz Prato’s characters blaze with humanity, sensuality, and hope,” he said. “Her writing glitters and her stories push us to the edge: Prato rubs her people together until they spark, in a book that throbs with heart — and grips our own.” Prato’s short stories and essays have appeared in more than two-dozen literary journals and magazines. She was the Guest Prose Editor for the Summer 2013 issue of VoiceCatcher and edited the fiction anthology “The Night, and the Rain, and the River.”

Raising the roof The Red Roof elevates hospitality to an art form Story & photos by Patrick Alexander

Oregon Coast TODAY

or a couple who opened their business almost by accident, Sherry Wilmsen and Wilda Larsen certainly seem to know what they’re doing. Operating from a handsomely renovated church in Gleneden Beach, the pair keep customers satisfied with gourmet coffees and baked goods, homemade soups and wines from near and far. But far from being the culmination of a lifelong dream, the couple’s decision to open The Red Roof came down to a twist of fate. “The whole point of all this wasn’t ‘we really want to have a bakery, coffee shop and a wine bar,’” Sherry said. “We had no plan to do any of that at all.” Far from it. Sherry had originally eyed the old church building as an investment property, having seen the “For Sale” sign during a trip back to her old Gleneden Beach stomping grounds, where she worked in several restaurants in the early 1970s. The building piqued her interest but it was not until three years later, when Sherry saw that it was still on the market, that she finally felt compelled to make an offer. The couple had just moved from Portland to live full time at their home on the Siletz River, but Wilda had no plans to give up her career as a social worker. At first, the couple thought about renting the space out. Then they discussed the idea of buying coffee shop equipment to lease to a tenant. But eventually, the lure of the building proved irresistible and the two realized that they were going into business themselves. The couple took on a lot of the renovation work themselves, too, tearing out walls, laying carpet and decorating with Sherry’s

Wilda Larsen and Sherry Wilmsen

own plant-based artwork. On a trip to Newport, the two caught sight of a red roof that inspired their own building’s distinctive crown and the name that followed. Sherry said the name also fits with the architectural monikers of other Gleneden Beach establishments, the Side Door Café and the Salishack. “We see a theme going on here,” she said. Some parts of opening the business came naturally. Wilda, an accomplished home baker, was already accustomed to cooking large batches of cookies and sweet treats for people on her Christmas list. Those same systems helped her adjust to running a commercial kitchen with ease. Other parts of running a coffee shop were a little harder to master, however. “We don’t drink coffee,” Wilda said. “We are tea drinkers. It took about eight months just to work out how to use that machine.” But the effort has paid off, with the couple now serving up expertly crafted mochas, cappuccinos and more, all made using beans from Cafeto coffee roasters in Eugene. “I think that people come here not just because of the good coffee but also because of the space,” Wilda said, “It’s comfortable and inviting. We try to remember people’s names and call them by name.” With cell phones banished to the front

lobby, guests at The Red Roof are free to lounge in comfortable chairs or take a seat on one of the two patios, and are guaranteed a warm welcome from Wilda at the counter. “I’ve really enjoyed watching her work with people,” Sherry said. “She’s still a social worker. She’s just adding sweets to the deal.” Rising in the small hours each morning, Wilda crafts a mouthwatering array of baked goods, with mainstays such as blueberry coffee cake, ginger molasses cookies and chocolate chip cookies joined by rotating specials including cinnamon bread pudding muffins, apple cinnamon bundt cake and whoopee pie. Savory options include bacon-cheddar and sausage-cheddar scones as well as quiche, pretzels and a variety of homemade breads, including bagels, rolls, pita bread, baguettes and English muffins. Wilda said she still enjoys baking every

day and is happy to see The Red Roof ’s resident “scone guy,” Robert Astley flourish in an environment where he is encouraged to experiment. “As employers, we want it to be like a family,” Wilda said. “We don’t want to be taskmasters, riding our employees.” Sherry, meanwhile, is responsible for the soups that keep The Red Roof ’s guests warm throughout winter and fall, and for the salads that celebrate the bounty of spring and summer. The wine bar is open from noon each day, serving a range of labels from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, including two wines on tap. Barman Mike Olson is happy to share his extensive wine knowledge and guests can always pick out a bottle to take home. Sherry said that the first year in business has been almost non-stop but that the rewards are plain to see on the rare occasions that she and Wilda get to slow down. “Every once in a while,” she said, “I’ll have a glass of wine and just watch what’s going on and I’ll say ‘wow, we did it.’” The Red Roof is located at 7040 Gleneden Beach Loop, Gleneden Beach, and is open from 8 am to 8 pm Wednesday through Sunday.

GO WITH THE GRAIN By Gretchen Ammerman

F  TODAY

hough castles made of sand melt into the sea eventually, a crisp $100 bill might help soften the sadness of the loss. At the 40th annual Lincoln City Sandcastle Contest this Saturday, Aug. 12, successful sand architects will win prizes with silicate renderings in six categories: traditional sandcastle, dog, sea creature, squid, chowderhead and “illuminated.” Categories are further broken down by age and teams. The rules include using only sand, water, shells and other natural materials found on the beach that day to build your entry. Forms can be used during construction, but cannot be used to support the final structure. Hand tools may also be used, but please suppress the urge to use power tools. And if you know that there is such a thing as a professional sand artist, you might be one, and — if so — are respectfully asked to leave this event to the amateurs. “Other than the usual rules, you don’t have any limits on what you can build,” said former event organizer LeeAnn Reyes. “My personal favorites in the past events were the mermaids because people can get very creative.” Prizes of all kinds are up for grabs,

including beach items, dining and lodging certificates and — of course — cold hard cash. And even if you aren’t able to turn sand into clams, the contest can bestow other benefits, according to longtime participant Stacey Baird.

get out! At the 40th annual Lincoln City Sandcastle Contest

“There are people that have a lot of stress and this is a great way to get rid of it.” he said. “I like to go play in the sand and forget all my worries.” Over at least the past 15 years, Baird has partnered with friend and fellow sand castle fan Domenic Micherone and their families to enter the event. “We’ve won several times,” Baird said. “But sometimes we didn’t even officially enter; just went down and played around and looked at what other people were building. It really is a great way to be outside with your kids or release your own inner child.” New this year will be a second day of play on Sunday. “We’re turning this into a weekend event by adding games on the beach,” said Susan Wahlke of the Bay Area Merchants Association. “We’ll have things like Giant Jenga, ring toss, corn hole, and lots of other games for families.” The games will be in the same area as the sandcastle contest from 10 am to 3 pm. Also new this year will be s’mores on the beach at 8 pm on Saturday night. “This is a fun, family-oriented event,” Wahlke said. “We have many people who come here for the weekend, so we wanted to give them things to do for the whole time.”

12 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • august 11, 2017

In a survey taken last year, more than a third of respondents said that they had come specifically for the contest, and there were participants that had come from as far away as Holland and Israel. Three people said that they had been participating for more than 10 years, and one family has been coming for more than 20. Throughout Saturday, shuttles will be running from the three public parking lots in the Taft area — one on the first block west of Hwy. 101 on 51st Street, one off SE Inlet between 51st and 48th Street, and the third right off Hwy. 101 north of 48th Street, just past Oregon Beach Vacations. “This is a wonderful tradition that is attached to Lincoln City,” Wahlke said. “The Siletz Bay is a great safe place for building castles. We need to be careful, though; if it gets any bigger, we’re going to run out of beach.” Registration for the Lincoln City Sandcastle Contest begins at 9 am on Saturday, July 22, at Taft Beach SW 51st Street. Entrants must register the day of the event, before building begins. Entry is free, but a donation of nonperishable food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry is requested. For more information, contact Susan Wahlke at 541-921-9329, or go to taftbeach.org.

Odd men in Theatre West follows up the female Odd Couple with Neil Simon original Story & photos by Gretchen Ammerman

For the TODAY

here are some plays where you just can’t help but wonder if the actors bring their roles home with them, and Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple,” currently being presented at Lincoln City’s Theatre West, is one of them. The play asks whether the friendship between two men, the lovable slob Oscar Madison, played by Don Bambrough, and the persnickety neatnick Felix Unger, played Lewis Smith, can survive when they end up living together. “I had noticed that he was a bit more intense around the house lately,” said Smith’s wife Cindi Tringali “And then I saw the play and was like, ‘Ohhhh.’” Smith also noticed his behavior was changing outside of the house. “We were out for dinner and I spilled something,” he said. “I was upset because I only had one napkin and I didn’t want the server to think I was a slob, which is not something I would have thought about before.” Smith describes himself as a “typical” guy. “I’m not a slob,” he said. “But when my family was in the audience, I did notice a particularly loud laugh when the curtain opened on my vacuuming.” Bambrough’s parter, who is familiar with the characters in the play, made a good guess as to which one he would portray. “She told me that she figured I would be playing Oscar,” Bambrough said. “Because she couldn’t imagine me as Felix.” When it was time for director Rich Emery to cast, he knew just who he had in mind for the lead roles. “I immediately thought of Don and Lewis,” he said. “They were in ‘Death by Fatal Murder’ together and their on-stage chemistry was great.” The chemistry has only grown stronger, as the two handle their roles deftly, whether the characters are having a bro-ment or coming close to ripping each others heads off. The rest of the cast, including firsttime actor Scott Christianson as Speed,

Tom Carlson as Murray, Paul Wilhelmi as Roy, George Weber as Vinnie, and Tricia Chandler and Lisa Austin as the Pigeon sisters, Gwen and Cecily, also do a wonderful job, and though some of the content is a bit dated, the play is still very funny. The artfully designed set by Bruce Jackson acts as almost another character, as the apartment where the men play poker and solve the world’s problems, and the dance of the slob versus the perfectionist happens. The play opened earlier this month to a record opening night audience, finishing up the theater’s successful “Season of Simon,” which included a female version of “The Odd Couple.” Off-stage crew includes assistant director Bruce Mace, Kate Daschel on lights and sound and Donna Morris as stage manager. The play’s run coincides with the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse that is predicted to bring massive crowds to the Central Oregon Coast. But Emery said the show will go on. “We talked about going dark during that weekend,” he said, only later realizing the unintentional pun. “But we decided to go ahead and keep to the regular schedule.” “The Odd Couple” will run through Saturday, Aug. 26, with 7:30 pm performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday as well as a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, Aug. 13. Tickets for the show are $15 for adults,

Felix (Lewis Smith) gets assistance from Roy (Paul Wilhelmi), Speed (Scott Christianson) and Vinnie (George Weber)

$13 for seniors (60 and over) and for students (over 12) and $10 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $12 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a prepaid reservation.

A POW-ERFUL DISPLAY

All ears for frontier tales Master storyteller Doug Force will return to the Lincoln City Cultural Center this Sunday, Aug. 13, to share a collection of tales from the fur trapping era. Appearing in costume, Force will provide a brief historical context for the life and work of a Mountain Man in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains as well as the tall tale reflections of those intrepid woodsmen. This month’s presentation focuses on the importance of having a partner to depend on through thick and thin. These campfire tales will highlight the unusual advantages and disadvantages of teaming in early 1800s frontier life. The storytelling session will run from 2 to 3 pm at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Questions are welcome and audience participation is encouraged. Admission is free but donations are accepted to support the work of the cultural center. Refreshments will be served during a short intermission.

Siletz will be alive with drumming and dancing this weekend as Tribal nations from across the Pacific Northwest celebrate the annual Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow. Hosted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the family-friendly event runs from Friday, Aug. 11, through Sunday, Aug. 13, at the Pauline Ricks Memorial Pow-Wow Grounds. “Everyone is invited to experience our powwow and learn about American Indian culture and dance,” said Buddy Lane, Tribal cultural education director and pow-wow coordinator. “Come join us at our annual celebration.” The celebration will start at 6 pm on Friday, Aug. 11, with the crowning of the Siletz Royalty. All dance styles will enter the arena at 7 pm during the first Grand Entry, followed by a number of non-competitive dances in which the public can participate. On Saturday, Aug. 12, a hometown parade will wind its way through downtown Siletz starting at 10 am and featuring everything from Tribal royalty, drummers, dancers, equestrian units, vintage cars and floats.

Admission to the pow-wow is free. Throughout the event, an announcer will explain the significance of the various dances and when photography is permitted.

Lincoln City’s Theatre West is looking for actors willing to bare their creative souls for an upcoming production of “Calendar Girls,” a comedy by Tim Firth. When Annie’s husband John dies, she and best friend Chris decide to raise money for a new settee in the village hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women’s Institute members to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar. The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village. Director Stina Seeger-Gibson is looking for nine women and four men to bring the play to life for a four-week run from Oct. 19 through Nov. 9. Performances will take place at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and there will be a weekend matinée at 2 pm on a date to be determined after the play is cast. Most rehearsals will be at Theatre West but performances will be at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Auditions will take place at 7 pm on Sunday and Monday, Aug. 13 and 14, at the theater, 3536 Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-994-5663.

The native sun returns Newport-born astronomer Travis Metcalfe will return to his hometown on Saturday, Aug. 12, to help locals prepare for the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse — and have a more fulfilling experience than he did the first time. “I vividly remember the 1979 eclipse, even though I was only five years old at the time,” Metcalfe said. “My parents locked me and my brother in the basement so we wouldn’t burn our eyes out.” Metcalfe graduated from Newport High School in 1991 and saw his first total solar eclipse later that summer at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Mexico. He studied astronomy and physics at the University of Arizona in Tucson, followed by doctoral work at the

20 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • august 11, 2017

University of Texas at Austin. He now works as a research astronomer at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado. “I’ve been looking forward to the 2017 eclipse since I first learned about it in the

mid-1980s,” he said. “My parents bought me a telescope for Christmas, along with an astronomy book that listed future eclipses.” Metcalfe’s presentation will include the history and science of solar eclipses, along with practical advice about where and how to watch and what to expect. Everyone who attends will get eclipse glasses, and all proceeds support non-profit programs in astronomy research and education. The talk will run from 3 to 5 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W. Olive Street. Tickets are $10.90 for adults and $8.80 for students and seniors, and can be purchased online at http:// eclipse.spsci.org.

SPITTING DISTANCE: 5 MILES The Friends of Netarts Bay are offering a free guided hike along Bay Ocean Spit near Tillamook on Wednesday, Aug. 16, giving walkers the chance to learn about coastal ecology as well as the history of a lost town. The excursion will visit the site of Bayocean Park, the ill-fated resort community established with high hopes in 1911, but lost to erosion by the 1950s. This roughly five-mile journey is an easy-tomoderate walk that winds through dunes at the intersection of the ocean and Tillamook Bay. Walkers should expect to navigate through puddles and mud, scamper up sand banks and navigate around storm-washed trees. This guided hike will also highlight the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Beach Bill, and give updates ion efforts to close gaps along the Oregon Coast Trail. Led by Chrissy Smith of Friends of Netarts Bay, Kristen Penner of Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative and Connie Soper, author of “Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail,” the excursion is part of the Explore Nature series of hikes, walks, paddles and outdoor adventures. The excursion will run from 1 to 4 pm, setting out from Bay Ocean Peninsula Recreation Area near Cape Meares, eight miles east of Tillamook. Registration is required. Go to EventBrite.com and search for “Hike Bay Ocean Spit.”

The Buccaneer Rampage Mud Obstacle Race will return to Newport this Saturday, Aug. 12, putting budding pirates through their paces on a mud-drenched course at Newport Municipal Airport. Hosted by the Newport Parks and Recreation Department, the slippery sprint is designed to challenge runners of all abilities. Pre-registration fees begin at $35, rising to $45 on the day of the race. And because pirates are a spontaneous bunch, registration will remain open until 15 minutes before the race starts at 11 am. Prizes will be awarded for the best male and female pirate costume and the top male and female finisher in the competitive divisions. The race is free to watch and will conclude with a party featuring music, food and a beer garden. All proceeds from the event will go towards the youth scholarship program, which gives children from economically disadvantaged households the opportunity to participate in a number of fantastic programs at the Newport Recreation Center. For more information, go to www. BuccaneerRampage.com or call Newport Parks and Recreation at 541-265-7783.

Nonproﬁts to clean up on trash duty With everyone’s gaze riveted to the heavens during the Monday, Aug. 21, total solar eclipse, it’s not entirely unreasonable to expect that a couple of people might forget to pick up their trash when they leave. That’s why the City of Newport is partnering with the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department and SOLVE to organize beach cleanups throughout town on Saturday, Aug. 26. The cleanups will offer local nonprofit organizations the chance to raise funds, earning up to $10 per volunteer hour.

A whale of a job Among the nonprofits taking part in the cleanups is the Oregon chapter of the American Cetacean Society, which will be scouring the sands at Beverly Beach State Park. To lend a hand, go to http://solveoregon.org and follow links for “get involved” and “eclipse cleanups.” The group will also have registration forms on site. Photo by Alex Pajunas

Participating nonprofits will be required to appoint two beach captains per site, who must attend a mandatory training on Friday, Aug. 11, at Newport City Hall. The cleanups will be held from 10 am to 1 pm at six sites — Ernest Bloch/Lucky

Gap Trail Beach, Agate Beach, Nye Beach, Yaquina Bay State Park, South Beach State Park and Lost Creek. Interested nonprofits should register their group with Peggy Hawker at p.hawker@newportoregon. gov. The assignments will be made on a first-come-first-

served basis. Anyone wanting to assist in this effort should register at http://solveoregon.org/ newport-eclipse-cleanups. Questions should be directed to Peggy Hawker at 541-574-0613, or by e-mail at p.hawker@newportoregon. gov.

INHOUSE, at the beach

Harp on, in Lincoln City Celtic harp duo Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter will show some serious pluck on Thursday, Aug. 17, performing songs and stories accompanied by a variety of rare stringed instruments. In addition to Celtic harps, the pair will play the rare Swedish Nyckelharpa and assorted instruments from the mandolin, cittern and bouzouki family. The playlist will include traditional instrumental music from Sweden and Ireland as well as heartwarming original compositions blended with stories of humor and adventure.

Lynne and Frankfurter share a background as progressive rock musicians who later discovered a love for playing Celtic, Renaissance and Swedish music on unique acoustic instruments. They hail from Oregon and tour extensively playing fine performing arts centers, theaters and intimate venues around the US and Europe. Lynne is a multiinstrumentalist and performer who has gained worldwide recognition for her original Celtic harp music. Her innovating work in therapeutic music and “Hands-on-Harps” programs

have gained national recognition from NBC, CNN and the Wall Street Journal. Lynne’s music is heard throughout the awardwinning PBS special “Alone in the Wilderness” among many other soundtracks for commercial television and independent films. She performs and teaches yearround and was recently named one of the 50 most inspiring women by Los Angeles Magazine. Frankfurter began playing classical violin at the age of three, and has been studying music ever since. He has 17 albums to his credit, works on film and television scores

as composer and arranger, and continues to teach himself to play a variety of instruments — most recently the rarely seen Swedish Nyckelharpa. He is a fulltime musician and producer whose uncommon approach to the Celtic harp and folk harp repertoire has earned him high regard. The concert will start at 7 pm in the auditorium of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets, $15 in advance or $17 at the door, are available by calling 541-994-9994 or online at www.linconcityculturalcenter.org.

Stretch your legs at Kilchis Point The Audubon Society of Lincoln City will be heading north this Saturday, Aug. 12, for a guided walk at Kilchis Point Reserve near Bay City. Situated on 200 acres of mixed woodlands bordering Tillamook Bay, the reserve has two miles of flat trails and provides good habitat for warblers and thrushes as well as birds of prey. Fall migration has begun, so the group will also be keeping an eye out for sandpipers and other shorebirds. The excursion will run from 9 to 11 am, with walkers meeting at the trailhead, across from the Habitat for Humanity Restore at the south end of Bay City. For more information, directions or details on carpooling, call 541-992-9720. Audubon Society of Lincoln City offers free birding field trips with experienced trip leaders on the second Saturday of most months during the year. Beginning birders are welcome.

OPEN ART SURGERY Precision and beauty meet in celebration of Lincoln City Open Spaces

Come and sea Creswell painter Nancy McEwen is the Artist of the Month at the Artists’ Studio Association studio-gallery in Lincoln City, where an exhibit of her seascapes will be on display throughout August. Generations of McEwen’s family have lived along Beaver Creek, between Newport and Waldport, and she developed a lifelong love for the area when visiting her grandparents’ dairy there as a child. Her interest in painting seascapes started 22 years ago, when she and her husband built a home in Lincoln City. She enjoys capturing the ocean’s mood, action and patterns with paint on canvas. “I often feel there is no end to the colors and challenges the ocean brings,” she said. McEwen said she finds painting to be a spiritual experience. “My goal is to paint until the good Lord calls me home,” she said. “Until then, I will try to paint a glimmer of his creation.” McEwen’s work can be seen from 10 am to 5 pm daily throughout August at the ASA studio-gallery, 620 NE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Admission is free and parking is available behind the building.

Art that shines a spotlight on Lincoln City’s open spaces will be on display in the latest exhibit at the Chessman Gallery, featuring the work of natural science illustrator Nora Sherwood. The exhibit will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Aug. 11, offering wine, light refreshments and a chance to chat with the artist. Sherwood’s in-depth, detailed artwork highlight the plants, insects, birds and animals that reside within Lincoln City’s extensive open spaces. “Thanks to the foresight and grit of Lincoln City’s powers-that-be, the city is fortunate to include 370 acres of open space within its boundaries,” Sherwood said. “28 areas with an amazing treasury of flora and fauna preserved to benefit us all.” Sherwood’s interest in natural science illustration dates back to a zoology class she took during her senior year of high school. The class involved dissecting a worm, a grasshopper, a frog and a rat, with a heavy emphasis on drawing detailed diagrams of the systems found in each animal. While her favorite part was the drawing, she was also amazed at the intricate anatomy. “So much function packed tightly and efficiently in to such a small space,” she said. Had Sherwood known that a career in natural science illustration was a possibility, she would have perhaps pursued it then. Instead she went in to geographic information systems and cartography — distant cousins of science illustration, with the same end goal of better understanding our world. She enjoyed her career immensely, but always felt the tug of drawing and painting the natural world. Her “guilty pleasure” was looking at the websites of science illustrators and professional certificate programs like the one she eventually attended at the University of Washington. When circumstances allowed, she made the jump from high-tech, fast-paced careerist, to observant and methodical science illustrator and wildlife artist. Her curiosity about the natural world, and her deep desire for us all to wake up and change our callous treatment of it, fuels her inspiration.

“It is an amazing planet we live on, with tremendous species diversity, and so much yet to learn,” she said. “Studying, protecting and caring for and our local Open Spaces is a step down this path of conservation and learning.” Throughout her illustration career, Sherwood has been guided by the philosophy of Senegalese environmentalist Baba Dioum: “In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we have been taught.” Sherwood’s goal is to portray an intimate moment with each of her subjects and to make the viewer feel like they are sharing in that moment. She has yet to find subject matter she has not enjoyed portraying, but she especially enjoys the intricate details of wildlife and botanicals. Her preferred media include watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite, but she also has extensive experience with colored pencils, gouache and carbon dust.
