peaking as someone who largely makes his living by taking photos of weird things on the beach, words cannot describe the gratitude I feel toward Timberview Farm owner Cindy Murdoch for agreeing to help out with this week’s cover shot. Whales, you see, while majestic, otherworldly and all the rest of it, are very tricky to wrangle for photo shoots. We tried lacing the D River with hummus and olives as bait but saw nary a spout on the horizon. So, in celebration of Santa’s favored fleet, we decided that young Prancer would look just lovely gazing out Patrick Alexander to sea with Editor & Publisher Cascade Head in the background. Well, the weather outside was frightful and Cascade Head obscured by fog, but Prancer and his valiant owner cared not a jot as they gamely struck a pose. Your move, whales. See story, page 15.

Almost time for lights out Visitors to the Oregon Coast Aquarium have one more weekend to enjoy the Sea of Lights celebration, which concludes this weekend with a combination of festive decorations and live holiday music. The annual display surrounds guests with more than half a million colorful lights and holiday decorations as they explore the aquarium after hours. Santa is also present to pose for photos and note visitors’ Christmas wishes — even making an appearance in SCUBA gear. Sea of Lights will illuminate the aquarium on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 27 and 28, from 5 to 8 pm. Admission is $8, or free with same day paid admission ticket stub or hand stamp. “Sea of Lights lets the aquarium give back to the

community, but we also organize it for the sheer fun of it,” said organizer Michele Steen. “There is no other place to go see a big light display on the central Oregon coast.” This year’s Sea of Lights is sponsored by Walmart, which is offering free admission voucher to customers that spend more than $100 at the

Newport store on certain days. See store for details. Attendees using a voucher are encouraged, but not required, to make a food donation. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport. For more information, go to aquarium. org or call 541-867-3474.

The Yachats Trails Committee is inviting people to start the New Year off on the right foot by taking part in the 5th Annual New Year’s Day Peace Hike from the Yachats Commons to the Amanda statue south of town. The statue is dedicated to the memory of Amanda, a blind woman of the Coos Tribe forced to leave her young daughter and march barefoot through rocky terrain to the Alsea Sub-agency internment camp in Yachats in 1864. The event will begin at 10 am with an address from Doc Slyter, elder, tribal flutist and chair of the Cultural Committee for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. Participants will then depart on an invigorating, six-mile, round-trip hike that will take them along the south 804 Trail, across the Yachats River Bridge, along Yachats Ocean Road to the Amanda Trail and the final destination — the Amanda Grotto and statue. At the grotto, the group will have the opportunity to contemplate and offer blessings for peace in the New Year. Native American flute playing will be provided by Doc Slyter and Mary Beth Nickel. Hikers can then walk or shuttle back to the Yachats Commons for more camaraderie, refreshments and to collect their commemorative Peace Hike pin,

The Amanda Trail A 25-year endeavor, the Amanda Trail was completed and dedicated in July 2009. It has helped reveal the truth about the treatment suffered by the Alsea, Siuslaw, Coos and Lower Umpqua People during their incarceration at the Alsea Sub-agency prison camp from 1859 to 1875. Since the trail’s dedication, the Confederated

The walk is on both paved road and narrow dirt trail surfaces with some stairs and moderate inclines. In the event of heavy rain or wind, the hiking portion of this event will be cancelled and the peace ceremony will take place in the covered shelter behind the Yachats Commons. The Yachats Commons is located at 441 N. Hwy 101. For more information, contact Svendsgaard at lsven@peak.org or 541-547-3640. Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and members of other tribes have become an important part of the Yachats community.

The article, along with a compilation of work by tribal historian Don Whereat, can be viewed at www. yachats.info.

ANY SIZE PIZZA

Have a classy 2015 New Year is approaching fast — bringing with it the risk of the hasty resolution. Leave it too late and you could end up getting railroaded into something truly frightful, like taking up early-morning running or giving up chocolate. Much better to plan that resolution ahead of time; and Oregon Coast Community College is here to help as it unveils a busy term full of community education classes, with something to interest just about everyone. The lineup includes French Conversation, Turkish History and Culture, Mussel Harvesting and Preparation, Spanish for Beginners, Basic Computer Skills and more. The Seatauqua series, launched in the fall term in cooperation with the Hatfield Marine Science Center, continues on a reduced schedule for the winter term. Heather Fortner will be teaching a class on Nature Journaling on Jan. 13, and Paul Robertson will be leading a foraging expedition for mussels on a Lincoln County beach, and will provide tips for preparing this local delicacy. There’s even a 10-week guitar class taught by Richard Paris, of the Lincoln County band The Ocean, geared to a range of skill levels from beginner to experienced players. A full catalog of classes is included in the college’s “Catch the Wave” publication, due in Lincoln County mailboxes on Dec. 17. The publication is already available online at oregoncoastcc.org.

A quick cookie refresher T

he knock on the door came on a Saturday afternoon in September. I opened it to find a man I didn’t know standing on my front porch holding a big green trash bag. “Yes?” I said, feeling slightly suspicious. He looked a little ill at ease himself. Then, he said, “Ma’am, I live just up the street. I can’t bake cookies …” And I knew for whatever reason he was standing on my front porch, we would be fine. What I didn’t know was that the holiday season was about to get underway early. ------------------•--------------I’m not much of a baker myself. Neither was my mom. She could whip up a mean rack of ribs and scrumptious Pennsylvania Dutch recipes, like chicken pot pie or ham and green beans with ribbles or chicken and dumplings, but she wasn’t one of those moms who sent her kids off to school with homemade cupcakes. There was, however, one time of year when my mom baked like a madwoman. And that was Christmas, of course. Right about the time we cleared the Thanksgiving dishes, she began. She made sugar

cookies, sand tarts, thumb prints and almond something or others, snickerdoodles and spritz cookies and some kind of crinkles. And she didn’t just make a few dozen, the woman made hundreds of cookies. Every night for weeks, that’s what we did. She rolled the dough and baked, my sister Penny and I decorated them. We were like a little assembly line. Cookies in, cookies out, sprinkle, sprinkle, sample a few, then start on the next batch. Everyone who came to our house left with a tin of cookies. As a young wife, I didn’t catch the cookie bug right away, but when I did, it was, of course, to my mom that I turned for recipes. The problem with mom’s recipes was that they were not complete. She’d list the ingredients and the cooking time, but the rest, like what to mix first or what to combine with what, was up to you. Basically, mom’s recipes just sort of indicated that you throw it all together and bake. Mostly, I admit, that works fine. Though it may explain why my dough refuses to be rolled properly. My dough sticks to everything, then I end up throwing in so much flour, I can’t believe the cookies are even edible, though they generally end up tasting just fine. Granted, they’re not going to win any awards, but all in all, as Christmas cookies go, they’ll do. I tend to stick with the basics: sand tarts, which I gave up on rolling out and now do as drop cookies cut from chilled rolls; (and yes, that does make me feel like a bit of failure) and sugar cookies with icing. This year I made the mistake of attempting sugar cookies cut from a new lighthouse cookie cutter. I was all ready to do the fancy decorating only to find they’d come out looking vaguely obscene and, when topped with red icing per our old Yaquina Head Lighthouse, vaguely obscene and diseased. “I’ll take them to work for the guys,” the hubs said. “They’re not leaving the house,” I said. After that, I stuck to the plain old round sugar cookies, which fit nicely with the plain old round sand tarts. After I bake for a few nights, by which time the kitchen looks like the culinary version of a powered donut and I’ve got bits of dough in the most baffling places, I am generally done with baking. That’s when I send the hubs out into the neighborhood to deliver my goodies to a few houses around us — some to people we don’t

really even know. That’s how I came to open the door in September and found the stranger standing on my porch. As you’ll recall, he greeted me with the announcement that he couldn’t bake. Then he thrust his green garbage bag toward me, and smiling, said, “But I can fish and I wanted you to have this as thanks for the cookies you send over every year.” Inside the bag was a big, old, fat, freshly caught salmon. And so it was, we had a bit of Christmas in the fall. I swear, it was all I could do not to start baking already. Lori Tobias covered the coast for The Oregonian for nine years.

on stage Theatre West presents…

“Sorry! Wrong Chimney!” By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

With people running around in false beards, climbing down chimneys and planning secret surprises, Christmas offers plenty of potential for farcical goings on. And anyone looking for a dose of seasonal slapstick will find it wrapped up with a bow as “Sorry! Wrong Chimney!” continues its run at Lincoln City’s Theatre West. The play opens with the sight of newlywed Samantha Tuttle dressed in bright red, silky pajamas and a set of elf ears, setting the mood for an evening of festive frolicking with her husband, David. But the audience soon discovers that David — who wants to treat his wife to a fur coat for Christmas — is moonlighting as a department store Santa; and covering up the ruse by telling her that he’s working late at the office. The story quickly snowballs to include suspicions of adultery; several bouts of hypnotism; the notorious Santa burglar Kris Kreigle and his gun-toting fiancée, and one very confused policeman. Director Rich Emery said the play,

Don Bambrough as the notorious Santa Burglar Kris Kreigle, with Patti Siberz as his gun-toting sidekick • Photo by Linda Jackson

written by Leo W. Sears and Jack Sharkey, appealed to him purely because it makes people laugh. “Most Christmas theater is pretty schmaltzy. This is kind of a different take,” he said, adding: “It has absolutely no redeeming social value to it whatsoever — other than that it’s funny.” Emery, who has acted and directed at Theatre West for many years, has worked alongside each of the cast members before; something he said helped this show come together more easily than any other. Shelby Barton plays David, with Karen Davis as Samantha and Bryan and Robin Kirsch as across-the-hall neighbors, William and Natalie. Don Bambrough plays the notorious Kris Kreigle, with Patti Siberz as his guntoting sidekick, Sheila; while Steve Griffiths rounds out the cast as the cop who tries to make sense of an increasingly nonsensical situation. Emery said that when he came across the role of the Santa Burglar, Don Bambrough’s name came immediately to mind. “Don has an amazing amount of comic timing,” Emery said. “He was the inept policeman in “Murdered to Death” and I think he’s perfect for this role, too.” Emery is also surrounded by a familiar crew, with Bruce Mace as assistant director, Donna Morris as stage manager and Kate Daschel as lights and sound technician. Together, the cast and crew have broken new ground for Theatre West by staging a show in the run up to Christmas. Emery said that while many community theater groups do put on a pre-Christmas show, Theatre West has always steered clear in order to focus attention on its New Year’s Eve Gala. The early opening resulted in a fiveweek run, giving audiences an extra weekend to catch the show, which will be performed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings through Saturday, Jan.

This year, with the skits bumped to the end of the evening, the actors will be able to perform the play and then be free to mingle with the audience for the rest of the evening. Tickets for the gala are $50 per person, with doors

opening at 7:30 pm. For reservations, call 541-9945663 and leave a message. Tickets for regular performances are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and students; and $9 for children 12 and under. A special group discount is available at $10 per ticket for groups of 10 or more with a

pre-paid reservation. Doors open at 7:30 pm, with curtain at 8 pm sharp. There will be no shows on Thursday, Dec. 25, or Thursday, Jan. 1. On Sunday, Dec. 28, there will be a 2 pm matinée, with doors opening at 1:30 pm. Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101.

Kimono-ver to my place This Wednesday’s New Year’s Eve Gala at Theatre West will give guests the chance to go home with their very own piece of theatrical flair as well as perhaps getting props for solving a mystery of sorts. The theater will be auctioning off a collection of hand-embroidered kimonos, which are currently hanging on display in the lobby. Theater stalwart Patti Siberz said she found the treasure trove of luxury leisurewear stuffed in a bag in the actors’ Green Room and that no-one has any idea where the collection came from. The items will be up for grabs in a silent auction during the gala, which starts at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, Dec. 31. And, if anyone has any idea where the kimonos came from in the first place, the Theatre West crew would love to know. Meanwhile, guests looking for something to provide a little more protection from the winter chill might want to consider bidding on one of the theater’s many furs that will also be up for grabs. Siberz said the theater has amassed quite the collection throughout the years. “We have stoles, we have jackets, we have fur hats, we have fur coats, we have everything,” she said “The chances of having 18 women with a fur on stage at one time are very slim. We actually only need six and I can’t count how many of the things we have.” As befits their bold nature, the furs will be offered in a verbal auction; and Siberz said guests might find themselves called into action to help model the wares. “I’m probably going to kidnap women out of the audience,” she said, “and say ‘here, wear this.’” Tickets for the gala performance, which also features champagne and post-show entertainment, are $50 per person. For reservations, call 541-994-5663 and leave a message.

New Year revelers are being invited to party to the hilt at a new theatrical studio in Newport, packed to the rafters with swords, pennants and other medieval flair. Palladine Studios is the new project from sisters Carly and Audrey Bryann Young, who have performed and directed shows at the Newport Performing Arts Center since moving to the town a few years ago. Carly said that, while the sisters found the Oregon Coast to be brimming with artistic talent, they saw very few places where people could meet and build the kind of collaboration that is vital for the production of original theater. “There are also few fun places for young people to hang out regularly after school,” she said, “So when we saw that this building was available, we decided that instead of wishing such a place existed, we would create it ourselves.” The building in question, a 5,000-square-foot studio at Aquarium Village, will be the venue for a teen-friendly New Year’s Eve celebration on Wednesday, Dec. 31. Decked out as a fantasythemed hall, the studio has banners of the knights of Camelot hanging from the ceiling, medieval bench-tables and — at the center of it all — a round table fit for King Arthur. Running from 7:30 pm to 12:30 am, the party will be a relaxed gathering, offering live

music from Milo Graamans, video games and board games, along with snacks and sparkling cider. On New Year’s Day, the sisters will hold an open house, from 9 am to 6 pm, demonstrating swordplay and presenting theatrical monologues. As well as operating as a free hang out spot on Friday nights, the studio will offer classes

in acting and choreography — including stage combat. Drawing, painting and writing classes will also be on offer and the studio is available to rent for themed birthday parties, music events and classes from other instructors. For more information, go to www.palladinestudios.com. Aquarium Village is located at 3101 SE Ferry Slip Road, Newport.

Where the whales are

Winter Whale Watch Week comes to the Oregon Coast By Jenni Remillard For the TODAY

There is something very magical about spotting a whale. They are such mysterious creatures; so huge, yet so hard to see. While you can spot whales pretty much year round on the Oregon Coast, you are much more likely to see one during their annual migrations in the spring and winter. The whales are on their own schedule, but for humans, this year’s Winter Whale Watch Week is Saturday, Dec. 27, through Wednesday, Dec 31. Knowledgeable Oregon State Parks volunteers armed with spotting scopes, binoculars and information will be stationed all along the Oregon Coast to help visitors spot whales. Interpretive Ranger Renee Fowler is grateful for the help. “These dedicated volunteers are ready to help visitors spot gray whales as well as share their knowledge of marine mammals and our coastal environment. It is an incredible experience to catch a glimpse of these marine mammals that are the length of a school bus and weigh in around 30 tons.” Most sites are on headlands at state parks but there will be a few indoor viewpoints such as the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay, the Inn at Spanish Head in Lincoln City and the overlook at Cape Foulweather. All sites will be staffed with volunteers from 10 am to 1 pm

during the week. Meanwhile, the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay is open from 10 am to 4 pm. Not only does it offer a viewing area protected from the elements, but also displays on whales with bones and other artifacts and diagrams. The most common species of whale along the Oregon Coast is the gray whale. These graceful behemoths have one of the longest migrations of any mammal on Earth, traveling more than 10,000 miles from the rich feeding grounds of Alaska to the warm waters of Baja California where they spend the winter and give birth to calves. During the Spring Whale Watch Week, more than 1,000 whales were spotted along the Oregon Coast on their journey north. Gray whales are baleen whales as opposed to toothed whales like the orca. Baleen looks kind of like a brush in the whale’s mouth and is composed of the same keratin that makes up human hair and fingernails. The whales use the baleen like a filter to collect small animals living on the ocean floor. Unlike other whales who feed primarily on krill and small fish, gray whales turn on their side and stir up the water — and resulting tasty critters — on the bottom. They then filter out the water through their baleen and swallow the food. Carrie Newell runs Whale Research Ecoexcursions and the Whale, Sea Life and Shark

Depoe Bay Whale Watch Center • Photo courtesy Oregon State Parks Museum in Depoe Bay. She has been researching gray whales for more than 20 years when not teaching marine biology at Lane Community College in Eugene. She has cataloged many of the resident gray whales who return to Depoe Bay during the summer instead of making the swim all the way to Alaska. You can see photos of individual whales and read their stories at the museum. There is also plenty of information about and artifacts from other animals such as sharks, seals and sea lions. Currently, Newell’s main project is photographing and collecting data on the roughly 80 gray whales that call Depoe Bay home over the summer. Newell has many great stories about the summer resident

whales, from the ladies man Eagle Eye; to Comet, who survived an orca attack; to Lucky, who survived two orca attacks. Weather permitting, you can join Newell on whale watching tours on a small inflatable zodiac. It can be quite the thrilling experience to be in a small boat on the ocean, more so if a huge whale just happens to stop by to say ‘hello.’ Gray whales aren’t the only ones out there though. Thomas Ray of the American Cetacean Society says that while grays are the most common, if you are lucky, you might spot a humpback, fin, orca, or even a blue whale; the largest animal on earth. “The humpbacks are swimming a similar migration route that sometimes brings them near our coast,” he says.

A high vantage point, like Cape Perpetua, will increase your chance of seeing a whale • Photo by Jenni Remillard While it might be a tall order for this time of year, going on a calm day and getting up high will make it easier to spot whales. Look for the spout which is a fine mist puffed out when they breathe. If you see the whale’s tail or flukes, it often means the whale is diving and will not surface for several minutes. Even if you don’t spot whales, Whale Watch Week is a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy Oregon’s amazing coastline. For more information on where Whale Watch sites will be staffed with volunteers, go to www.whalespoken. org. For more information on Newell’s museum and tours, go to www. oregonwhales.com.

Crab Fisheries Day comes but once a year, so crustacean fans should get ready to snap up the activities on oer this on Monday, Dec. 29, at Newport’s Oregon Coast Aquarium. It’s no secret that the folks at the aquarium love crabs; and even went as far as to create a special crab exhibit a few years ago — complete with a theme song. But this annual event gives the aquarium crew an opportunity to serve up an even more in-depth look at these amphibious creatures.

Throughout the day, aquarium sta, volunteers and partner organizations, including the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Dungeness Crab Commission, will be on hand to tell crabs’ stories — from their anatomy and behavior, to their status as one of Oregon’s most important commercial ďŹ sheries, to the marine environment that nurtures them. Visitors will be treated to samples of crab meat, interactive displays and

tips for safe and successful recreational crabbing. Meanwhile, aquarists will host dissections and serve up a special meal for the aquarium’s crabs so visitors can observe how they eat. Crab Fisheries Day activities are free with aquarium admission. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road, Newport, and is open every day except Christmas Day. For more information, go to www.aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

one man’s beach C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

Tribute to Lula A

brisk wind blew as Sonny the husky and I made our way down Manhattan Beach, north of Rockaway. We were the only ones there and my mind drifted in harmony with the roiling sand kicked up by the

breeze. It was 9 am on a cold Sunday in December and the ocean rolled strong in blue and white. Sonny split off from me to investigate some smells and I walked though scattered driftwood and the charred remains of Halloween bonfires. Then I saw it written in the sand: LULA 12-17-13 Interesting, I thought, and I moved on. A few steps later I came across: Lula 12-17-13 Very interesting, I thought, the date was almost a year ago, and I continued on my way. Ten more steps and I found “Lulu” intricately written with pieces of driftwood and slanted at a 45-degree angle to the ocean: I went to my knees and investigated. I began theorizing: someone was grieving; it seemed like someone had lost a loved one, most likely a dog, a beach dog, but perhaps a girlfriend, a beach girlfriend. The pain of the

former blows away the latter; I would know. This was a public yet also anonymous tribute to grief and the paradox of that intrigued me. I got up from the sand and Sonny rejoined me. We kept walking. Our time is growing short together. Twenty yards later I encountered “LU” written in stones with beautiful precision. I almost started crying. Who had felt something so intense that he or she was compelled to share it publicly in such a cryptic manner on a relatively obscure beach? Was it a local or a tourist? Did he or she think anyone would encounter the tribute? Did that even matter? Sometimes you simply grieve in private where nobody can see your grieve. Oregon Coast beaches in winter provide the most accessible, intimate, meditative, free and private places to grieve in the world. I surmised the tribute had been constructed earlier that morning because the wind blew to such a degree that the tribute wouldn’t last more than another hour; it was already on the verge of burial by sand. I also surmised that I might be the only person to witness this tribute and I would never learn what instigated it. Who or what was Lula? I’ll probably never find out, but I sensed she was of an extraordinary nature.

A big noise in the art world Lincoln City Indoor Market

If the deafening silence common to many art galleries puts you off, then Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery has the solution — “The New York City Experience.” Created by David Jordan, the show aims to recreate the sensory experience of the Big Apple, using mesmerizing imagery matched with the sounds of the city. A visual and auditory sensory adventure, “The New York City Experience” combines recordings gathered live on the streets of the city with photographs, which are re-imagined and enhanced by computer graphics and transferred to canvas, metal, slate or paper. Jordan said the aim is to allow the viewer to observe, listen and become immersed — giving them the chance to go beyond a snapshot of life, feel the pulse of the space and experience moments in the fullness of time. “The viewer is looking at images from another space, people and places they may never see or situations they may never be in,” Jordan said. “They are able to share the experience at a safe distance that elicits their imagination and lets them explore another place with sights and sounds that may be new experiences for many.” Jordan, who received his bachelor’s of Education at Taylor University, and his master’s in Composition at Ball State, is a multi-media specialist and an ardent champion of fine arts. Now living on the Oregon Coast, he is the owner of Immediaresult.com, a company that produces and creates visual and aural art, designed to provide an immersive audience experience. Jordan said he sees a powerful connection between his composition degree and the visual art he now produces — with composition having taught him to understand both the infinitesimal and the

whole. These insights and skills lead him to manipulate his photographs into compositions that approach symphonic depth. He and his wife, educator and concert artist Dr. Jeannine Jordan, have performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, presenting two unique multimedia organ concerts, “From Sea to Shining Sea” and “Bach and Sons.” Having lived and worked in New York City for many years, Jordan said his inspiration for “New York City Experience” was to take an inventory of what really meant something to him. “I chose New York City as my subject because as I got to know it, it became an almost

living organism in itself,” he said. “The city has an aura, a pulse that keeps going 24 hours a day. It seems that all of humanity is represented there. New York City, to me, is a vehicle to express the 360 degrees of awareness we are capable of when we pay full attention to the moment at hand.” The show will be on display until Tuesday, Jan. 5, available to view from 10 am to 4 pm Tuesday to Sunday. The Chessman Gallery is located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information, call 541-994-9994 or go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org.

Meanwhile, Young will be also be displaying fused glass or “warm glassâ€? pieces, an art form she discovered when her father bought a kiln and she started experimenting. Young, who moved to the Oregon Coast seven years ago from the Portland area, said she is inspired by the creativity of her fellow artists as well as the huge variety of artistic eects that the medium makes possible. “My best work makes me smile or laugh, and in turn makes others smile and laugh too,â€? she said, “I am inspired in a big way by nature and animals. Playing and experimenting with color is a huge part of my glasswork as well. I find joy in creating color combinations that just sing together. I also love the sublime result of creating monochromatic art pieces.â€? The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is open 11 am to 4 pm daily at 789 NW Beach Drive in Newport.

Glass art fans have one last chance to see the Spotlight Show from Mary Young and Sally Ann Morris, which will be on display at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery until Friday, Dec. 26. Morris, already a talented pastel and watercolor artist, started taking glass art classes five years ago. She enjoys taking small glass pieces and shaping them into a larger piece or fusing them together to create shapes and beautiful colors. Once she gets the glass just how she wants it, she fires it once to fuse the glass and then again to make it into a shape such as a bowl. Her glass pieces include vases and mobiles. Morris who has lived in Puerto Rico, the Azores and Japan, gets inspiration from her travels. Alongside her glass art she will be displaying some Japanese dolls that she learned to make during her time there. Having moved to the Oregon Coast from San Diego in 2004, Morris now takes pastel and watercolor classes as well as a clay
