Another Interlude in a Village of Culture

No One Comes to San Miguel de Allende Just Once

otes from the Publisher

Pamela Hulse Andrews

he photo above was taken at a lovely little restaurant (Paprika Restaurante) in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, located on a very busy boulevard, Ancha de San Antonio. An especially talented trio of young musicians were playing some pretty fabulous Latin music. Earlier in the day, we had visited the Organica Marketplace where I purchased, with great bargaining finesse, two gorgeous Mexican rugs hand-loomed nearby.

(I am now trying to figure out how I will be able to get them home along with the numerous napkins I purchased...I am already over the airline weight limit.)

Dinner was shared with my friends Baldo and Carol Kelsey Bozovic who had rented a comfortable three story home on the hill overlooking this magical city and dramatic sunsets.

They usually make their home in Dubrovnik, Croatia, but Baldo, an artist of varied talents, finds San Miguel the perfect place for expanding his artistic acumen. I am fortunate to share a San Miguel experience for the second year with my delightfully fun, loving and creative friends.

Almost 20 percent of the people living in San Miguel de Allende are expatriates who have found a friendly enclave of writers, artists, locals and busy entrepreneurs who find the WiFi more than adequate to conduct business from this remote location.

San Miguel de Allende is located

in the far eastern part of the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico.

It's slightly challenging to get here and I learned my lesson last year by not traveling alone and risking a scary taxi drive experience by myself. This time, the owners of the spectacular casa I rented took care of the trusted transportation.

Flying into Leon sets you down in a typical Mexican town with a variance of wealth and poverty and unkempt streets coupled with pleasant, colorful homes. But following a ride of about two hours east,you settle into a beautiful village of around 90,000 people. Not a street—all cobblestoned—is untidy, not a house is unfinished unless currently under construction.

The homes and storefronts of thick stone and brick meet the narrow sidewalks and one way streets. The buildings are all painted in various terra-cotta colors, many with bougainvillea vines cascading down and the occasional iron-grated window. Many of the larger structures have impressive front doors opening to beautiful courtyards, which were once used by horses and carriages in this ancient city. The city's rich history dates back to 1542 when it served as a hub in the silver trade.

It's a surprising little oasis of art, music, theatre and literary treasurers (Gloria Steinem was here for a writing festival). Last year I was introduced to the stunning works of Toller Cranston who died last year

March 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

and had lived in San Miguel for many years. On this visit I stumbled on the abstracts and portraits by David Banegas. Much to my delight, he was holding an exhibit of Marilyn Monroe works that included a live painting exposition of Frida Kahlo.

San Miguel has attracted a large number of foreign retirees and tourists, which is shifting the area's economy from agriculture and industry to commerce catering to outside visitors and residents.

Fortunately there are no parking meters, no traffic signals and no fast food restaurants.

The main attraction of the town is its well-preserved historic center, filled with lovely colonial homes and churches from the 17th and 18th centuries. It's a gathering place on weekends for locals and at the end of everyday by visitors.

At the entrance of the city are statues of Ignacio Allende, Juan Aldama, Miguel Hidalgo and Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, with one of the Archangel Michael in the center.

The pace is slow here, no one is in a hurry to get anywhere and yet each day is filled with a different experience from an art auction, jewelry market to a blues bar, live theatre (in English) to literary festival. The numerous art galleries, boutiques, a hot springs, appealing swimming pools and ethnic cuisine fill the days. A favored spot has been the Moxy Restaurant at Hotel Matilda where well-known

Chef Enrique Olvera creates a masterpiece of inventive dishes with indigenous ingredients.

We spent many hours at The Fabrica La Aurora, an art and design center of galleries, shops and working artisans created in a former textile factory. I couldn't resist a beautiful multi-colored turquoise hand-stitched bedspread.

Toller Cranston gave his gift to the world in his skating abilities and then his art, but his legacy lies in why he thought San Miguel was the "best place in Mexico."

Its unique historical charm is replete with Spanish-Colonial architecture with perfect weather all the time, full of flowers, full of trees, full of beauty; so the beauty permeates everywhere you look.

And, he says, it's all about reinvention of self; discovering things you've always wanted to do and the things to do here are virtually unlimited, but most pertain to some sort of stimulus of the brain. It could be a lecture, a film, an exhibition. It could be some historical tour, some visiting writer or musician.

I've uncovered some old friends from Oregon who have packed up, reinvented their lives and moved to San Miguel permanently...the beauty of renewing these friendships gives me an insight into what is behind those charming street side doors.

So intriguing and pleasant to be here....but of course there's no place like Central Oregon...and home.

Bend Fashion Quarterly Spring 2016 Issue Released

Cascade Publications Inc. has released the second issue of Bend Fashion Quarterly (BFQ). Expected to attract attention from a diverse range of fashionistas in the region, it is available throughout Central Oregon for no cost or via a subscription.

After a glowing reception for their debut issue in November 2015, BFQ’s Spring offering sets the bar for capturing apparel trends, showcasing iconic locals and presenting compelling content for Oregon’s high desert.

BFQ founder and publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews says, “Tori Youngbauer, our Trends feature writer and art director, pushed the boundaries for local fashion in our spring issue. She sought out great ideas for ramping up your look by visiting the hottest retailers in the region. Lost Season Supply Co., Desperado, Local Joe, Brave Collective and Faveur and several re-sale boutiques were some of the high lights. If it is new and fashionable in our area, Tori will find it and share it with readers.”

At first glance many readers will immediately recognize local faces in the BFQ. From women entrepreneurs to families, couples, college students and renowned musicians, BFQ showcases real people with compelling stories.

For a crowd keen on content, the concepts and layout of BFQ’s Spring issue will satisfy. “We strived to take inspiration from the world of high fashion and design and translate that into a product that communicates the style of Central Oregon. I think we were particularly successful in showing the playfulness of local fashion with a cutting edge layout,” explains Youngbauer.

Though Andrews initially described BFQ as, “not a well-planned venture germinated over wine and conversation about shoes,” positive feedback from readers and advertisers indicates the venture as a smashing success.

“I just finished reading the first edition of BFQ and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This concept and the magazine will be a special edition to all the others you publish! I loved seeing the unique styles that are available in Central Oregon and the local friends that are wearing them. I am sure this will be a huge success!” remarked Connie Druliner, owner of Express Employment Professionals.

BFQ Marketing Manager Krystal Marie Collins is excited about the modern design concepts that were applied in ad creation. “Facilitating the development of a collaborative ad for six female business owners and working with companies to make use of photography in their marketing campaigns was a real pleasure and launched the page to page appearance into a strikingly modern layout.” bendfashionquarterly.com

Four Bend-La Pine School art students have earned the top honors in the local Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, a national competition that showcases the best work from young artists and writers. The students’ artwork were featured alongside more than 300 other pieces of award-winning student art at the Pinckney Gallery at Central Oregon Community College.

Summit High School students Shane Ragland (painting), Megan L’Etoile (sculpture) and Ruby Dolezal (mixed media) and Mountain View High School student Hailey Kavanagh (fashion) earned American Vision nominations (the equivalent of Best in Show honors). Both Ragland and Kavanagh were invited to attend the national award ceremony at Carnegie Hall last year.

Pilot Butte Middle School art teacher Pat Roberts organizes the Central Oregon Scholastic Art Awards along with Susan Shayegi from Redmond High School. Roberts says the judges evaluate the art on originality, technique and personal vision.

“It’s artwork that has a story. You stand in front of it and you’re pulled in,” said Roberts. She encourages the public to visit the gallery to see the talent of local students. “Every year people are amazed at the quality of the artwork coming out of Central Oregon middle and high schools.”

Oregonians donate $4.56 million to culture in 2015

Oregonians said a resounding YES to culture in 2015, donating a record $4.56 million to the Oregon Cultural Trust. The total is a 5.4 percent increase over 2014 and the largest annual increase since the 2008 recession.

“This is a powerful vote of support for culture,” said Executive Director Brian Rogers. “Every donation we receive is an Oregonian saying, ‘Culture is important.’”

“It is so gratifying to see this growth,” said Carole Morse, chair of the Cultural Trust board of directors. “The more we raise, the more we can award in grants to our cultural network. So a great year of fundraising is a great year of grant-making—everybody wins!”

The new funding allocation enabled the Trust to award a record $2.6 million in 2015. The grants were distributed through the Trust’s five Cultural Partners (Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage, Oregon Historical Society, Oregon Humanities and the Oregon State Office of Historic Preservation) as well as through the Trust’s 45 county/tribal coalitions and directly to cultural nonprofits through competitive Cultural Development Grants. Grants ranged from a few hundred dollars, awarded through the county/tribal coalitions, to record $35,000 Cultural Development Grants awarded to the state’s six largest nonprofit cultural projects.

“The new legislation allows us to be more responsive to the needs of the cultural community,” said Rogers. “We will have a greater impact on strengthening Oregon’s cultural network in 2016 and beyond.”

Harney County Migratory Bird Festival Youth Art Program.

The Fish and Wildlife Department spent time in elementary classrooms with the assistance of a local artist to help youth in Harney County create master pieces of art, while learning about birds and habitat. Each grade is judged for prizes that are donated by local businesses. The first place winners’ work from each grade are printed on canvas for a silent auction during the art show April 8-9 concluding at the Saturday night presentation. A Best of the Best is selected to be live auctioned Saturday. Last year a piece went for $140.

Literary Word A Novel Idea … Read Together

T

welve years ago, Deschutes Public Library launched A Novel Idea … Read Together, Deschutes County’s only community-wide reading project. Designed to explore the question, “What happens when we all read the same book?,” the project has grown in scope and scale to become one of the most successful community reading projects in the Northwest.

In recent years Deschutes Public Library Art Committees have joined in the project by hosting art shows inspired by the selected novel. This year the Sisters, Sunriver and Downtown Bend Libraries will participate. The Libraries will accept art and applications for their Novel Idea shows that will be on display in April 2016.

Sunriver applications are due by March 16 and can be picked up at the information desk. Submissions for the Sisters show will be accepted on Thursday, March 31 from 3-5:30pm. The Downtown Bend Library art committee will be accepting art on Monday, March 7 between 4-5:30pm. Artists may enter up to two works, which must be at least 16 inches by 20 inches, framed and ready to hang. For more information contact your branch Library. The 2016 A Novel Idea selection, Euphoria by Lily King, winner of the 2014 Kirkus Prize and

one of The New York Times Top Ten of 2014, tells a reimagined, fictionalized version of anthropologist Margaret Mead and her time in New Guinea.

Set in the early 1930s along the banks of the Sepik River in what is now Papua New Guinea, King’s characters struggle with loss, passion, despair and the moral ambiguities of their profession, anthropology.

Slow Furniture for Modern Times

S

ometimes looking back is the best way to move forward. Bend based Cambrian Company applies that logic to its original art and furniture. “We make pieces that highlight the unique stories of the materials they come from,” says Ian Herdell, co-founder of Cambrian Co. “They make you want to slow down and ask about the tree they were made from, to chew on the details.”

The intimate connection between material, maker and consumer has been strong up until this age of disposable art and furniture. Now it takes special effort to reconnect with the materials that fill our life on a daily basis. Ian and his wife, Laura, started Cambrian Co. to make beautiful art and furniture that is functional, filled with meaning and reflects their values—transparent, sustainable, green design—from start to finish.

“We strive to incorporate the unique life story of each tree we use into every piece we make,” says Ian. They find, harvest and mill much of the wood used in their work from neighborhood trees and serendipitous finds throughout the West. Each tree reflects the place and time it grew: the soil and water, storms, wind and lightning, animals, fungus and disease.

“We came across a dead tree on my friend’s citrus ranch years ago. We were pulling dead Navel and Valencia orange trees for later use—that’s a story for another time—and saw this tree laying in some bushes. It was really a trunk partly buried in the mud beside a pond, and we had no clue what it was. We set it aside to dry and cut it open a couple years later.

Arts

It was like opening a geode; the drab exterior bespoke nothing of the beauty awaiting us inside. It turned out to be Osage orange, probably planted by his great grandfather when he founded the ranch,” recalls Ian. That tree and others like it become art and furniture with an innate narrative. “There is always an idea when we begin a piece, but the wood and its stories guide us along,” explains Ian. Hand cut veneers are used to make original marquetry designs. Oregon coast mussel shell embellishes the natural voids found in their wood. Mortise and tenons, dovetails, finger joints and other solid wood joinery create beautiful work that stands the test of time.

Cambrian Co. is one of the featured artists at the Red Chair Gallery for the month of March. Their work can be seen at Red Chair year round. www.cambriancompany.com

“World Muse is a social change organization and art is one of the most powerful tools for social change,” says World Muse Founder Amanda Stuermer. “All social change is preceded by a change in the stories we tell; art helps us tell new stories.”

Join World Muse at the opening reception during the March Artwalk, Friday, March 4, from 5:30-7:30pm. Many of the exhibition artists will be available to answer questions about their work.

Who is Your Muse? will be up from March 4-25. The Liberty Theatre will be open Monday-Thursday from 10am-3pm and is located at 849 NW Wall Street in Bend. For more details, visit www.theworldmuse.org.

The annual Muse Women’s Conference brings together local women and teens with internationally recognized artists, authors, athletes, entrepreneurs, activists and social change leaders to celebrate International Women’s Day and kick-off Women’s History Month. Our fourth event is scheduled for March 4 thru 6 in Bend.

This three-day event will include a salon series, art show, community yoga class, 5K run, workshops, and our main conference day program.

ARTS CENTRAL HIRES NEW

PROGRAM MANAGER

A

10

fter an extensive search, Arts Central announces that Conor Mullen has been hired as the nonprofit organization’s new program manager and will be responsible for managing its three educational and outreach programs; Artists in Schools, VanGo and Art Station.

Mullen recently moved to Bend from Wyoming, where he taught in various arts education settings, worked behind the scenes installing museum exhibitions and wrote grants to further arts and culture in the Laramie, Wyoming region.

According to Cate O’Hagan, Arts Central’s executive director, “Conor’s experience aligns with Arts Central’s staffing needs and his passion for engaging with the creative community meshes perfectly with our mission to foster and promote a vibrant arts environment throughout Central Oregon.”

Mullen received his bachelor of fine arts from University of Wyoming, not far from where he was raised.

It was there in the printmaking department that his interests in drawing, photography and activist art all found a common ground. As he says, “I love seeing the true impact of an arts education in a world that may not prioritize it. I love to see students finding new worth in their unique perspectives.” www.artscentraloregon.org March 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

for Producing New Play

tage Right Productions, the nonprofit that operates 2nd Street Theater, was chosen as one of seven community theaters across the United States to produce one of seven winning plays of the AACT 2015 NewPlayFest. AACT (American Association of Community Theatres) is a national organization whose chief goal is to enable community theatres across the country to become the cornerstones of the creative life of their communities.

Laguna Beach, Ohio is the winning play that will be produced at 2nd Street Theater, March 25 through April 9. Written by Pasadena playwright, Malcolm MacDonald, and directed by Rick Jenkins, Laguna Beach, Ohio tells the tale of five old friends who come together for an emotion filled reunion. The thing that brings the characters together in Laguna Beach is the fact that Dove desperately needs to sell his beach house. His best friends from high school are coming together for a weekend at the beach house to figure out a way to buy it. The old friends are now in their 50’s, and their margarita-fueled reunion is funny, sentimental, passionate and revealing.

Laguna Beach, Ohio marks the ninth world premier play presented at 2nd Street Theater in the past years, including the recent hit, The Night Before The Night Before Christmas by Bend playwright, Cricket Daniel. “We love being able to present new works,” says managing director, Sandy Klein, “and we appreciate that our audiences trust and support us in producing

L

something that has never been staged before.” In 2016, Stage Right Productions/2nd Street Theater will be presenting three new plays, including Laguna Beach Ohio.

2nd Street Theater will have a special opening night celebration of Laguna Beach, Ohio. There will be a champagne reception from 6:30-7:30pm.

The Playwright, M a l c o l m MacDonald and his wife will be attending opening night, along with Julie Crawford, the executive director of the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT), a representative from Dramatic Publishing Company and a representative from the Jack K. Ayre and Frank Ayre Lee Theatre Foundation will be on hand to present Stage Right Productions with a check for a $4,000 grant for being part of the NewPlayFest and producing the play.

Stage Right Productions is a nonprofit organization that runs 2nd Street Theater.

Founded in 2011, Stage Right Productions’ mission is to cultivate the performing arts and provide a venue, support, entertainment and education to both the creative individuals and audiences in Central Oregon. www.2ndstreettheater.com 541-312-9626

The One Woman Show X2 with Shay Knorr and Gail Menasco

hay Knorr in a one hour version of her hit Portland show, Why Can’t I Marry The Cute Beatle, will share the ten years after her son’s death and how she lived through grief to find a new way of living in the world. She re-did a historic house and garden; maneuvered the jungle called online dating; she tried any spiritual path with hilarious depth, she traveled the world and finally dedicated herself to her art and her two grandchildren.

You will laugh, you will cry and you will walk away changed.

Gail Menasco will tell tales of adventure in her show, Excuse Me, May I Borrow Your Underwear? She swims with sharks, she dives out of airplanes and she tells of the time she had a broken leg and had to get around the airport on crutches with no underwear. This girl is so funny, she should have her own sitcom. You will laugh so hard, you may need to ask your neighbor if you can borrow their underwear.

This is a show not to miss, and this is personal story telling and not appropriate for children.

wo plays will be presented in March at the Cascades Theatre. Tony Award winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike—a blend of neuroses, absurdity and fun—will run from March 10-26. And Dog sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead, which will run from March 31-April 3.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike won the Tony award for best play in 2013. It’s a lovely day on the farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania where siblings Vanya and Sonia live and complain about their boring lives. Their typical morning of drinking coffee and waiting for the daily arrival of a blue heron is interrupted by their prophetic housekeeper, Cassandra, issuing an obscure and dire warning. Then a surprise visit from their movie star sister along with her newest “beloved” turns their lives upside down with the prospect of having to attend a neighborhood costume party where they are to be Masha’s lowly entourage and the recipients of some very upsetting news. What ensues is Christopher Durang’s signature blend of neuroses, absurdity and a lot of fun. The play is directed by Juliah Ray assisted

by Eudaemone Jervis Battilega. The cast includes Richard Choate, Lilli Ann

Linford Foreman, Deborah Saia, A. Lynn Jesus, Evan Leiser and Izzi O’Keefe.

Performances are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm.

Thursday, March 10 is the play’s Preview Night. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door.

On Saturday, March 12, there will be a special section of the theatre where the play will be signed for deaf theatregoers.

Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead (March 31-April 3). When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide coherent speculation, his sister has gone goth, his exgirlfriend has recently been institutionalized and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits.

The play is part of the theatre’s Black Box series that explores the darker, more complex sides of life, love and relationships. It is directed by Jared Rasic.

Sunriver Stars Tables & Chairs

T

ables and Chairs is the next production by the Sunriver Stars Community Theater. This evening of one acts will be directed by Victoria Kristy, artistic director and founder of the theater group.

“We have never done a collection of one acts before,” said Kristy, “We’ll present it black-box style using only half of the SHARC space to create a more intimate setting. We won’t offer a full dinner service either, instead we’ll do sort of a Happy Hour before the Friday and Saturday shows with drinks and appetizer plates available for purchase.”

The show will run May 6-7 only, since Sunday of that week is Mother’s Day. There will be both an afternoon and evening show on Saturday, May 7.

The show will consist of a compilation of seven one act plays, some written to tickle the funny bone, some poignant and some with something to think about. dramama@comcast.net, www.sunriverstars.org

Bold & Whimsical The Artwork of Paula Bullwinkel

by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer

P

aula Bullwinkel has had years within the art industry to learn, grow and experiment with a number of mediums.

Her vast experience has shaped her artwork and artistic process. “My mom was an artist. I grew up observing texture and nuances of color at a young age,” Bullwinkel says. “But I actually pursued a degree in English literature. It wasn’t until I moved to New York in pursuit of photography that I started breaking into the industry.” Bullwinkel

16

March 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

was hired by Andy Warhol, and photographed celebrities such as Morgan Freeman, Kevin Bacon and Kate Moss. For the first 20 years of her art career, she was a professional photographer in New York City and London, for Vogue, British Elle, Interview, The London Sunday Times Magazine, GQ and others.

“I’m inspired by the human form and specifically I love depicting the female form,” Bullwinkel explains.

Coney Island Massacre April 2097 by Paula Bullwinkel

After leaving London, Bullwinkel began down a different artistic path and became interested in oil painting and printmaking. “I enjoy creating characters and narratives within my work. I paint heroines and animal-heroes who balance feelings of marvel and mystery with a sense of conflict and uncertainty,” Bullwinkel describes.

“The uncertainty can be caused by violence in the symbolic forms of snipers, soldiers, bullets and monsters. The women and girls are often on the

(Left) Juliet and August out for a Walk, original etching (Above) Play it as it lays, oil painting

move. They are strong and beautiful, even when facing and overcoming manifest violence. There is often a wondrous effort in my heroines’ energy.”

Bullwinkel mentions that her daughters play a role in her narratives and inspiration. The spaces Bullwinkel creates are highly personal, and many times she will photograph her daughters and then use the photos as reference for her paintings.

Bullwinkel’s artistic process is heavily influenced by photography and fashion. “I will usually take photos of poses that I want to somehow incorporate into my work,” she says. The pieces then go through many iterations. Many times, she will do drawings, etchings, prints and finally move into painting with the same subject matter.

“I like to work on three or four canvases at one time. I feel like there is less pressure that way, and I can work on several projects.” In addition,

17

March 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

she takes inspiration from fashion photography, costumes and theatre and includes that within her paintings.

Her painting, Coney Island Massacre April 2097 encompasses the themes she loves working with.

“I love showing women in their element being strong and beautiful, but there is always a danger surrounding them. Perhaps it goes unnoticed, but the danger is there,” she explains. Coney Island Massacre April 2097 is on view at the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery along with other paintings.

There are a significant number of Bullwinkel’s works that depict animals as well as human forms. “The animals that populate my images are similar to animal familiars; part of a person’s spirit in animal form. This kind of creature is one’s protector, and one protects it in turn,” Bullwinkel

states. “Humans are another form of animal, so this close relationship is natural. Like ghosts or angels, the animals will help the women survive the violence and fulfill their quest.” Animals within her artwork create a “safer place” for her characters to exist in. This helps to create the tension between joy and whimsy and the dark influences that are so often featured in Bullwinkel’s work.

Bullwinkel’s current projects include a collaboration with her daughters where they write narratives for Bullwinkel to then illustrate. “My idea is to create an artbook that features a narrative about sisters journeying and then reuniting, similar to that of Homer’s Odyssey.” One thing is certain: Bullwinkel has no shortage of creative ideas, leaving her audience excitedly anticipating what she will do next. www.paulabullwinkel.com

march 4 Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin First Friday 5-8pm showing paintings by Susan Busik and a feature of sculpture by Lisa Marie Sipe, continuing thru March 27.

A native of Sisters, now of Bend, Busik’s acrylic paintings reflect learning of her Hispanic heritage during her 40’s and her beginning to paint the traditional, intricate designs and patterns of Mexican folk art. This imagery appears in her over-scale, brightly colored dahlias, poppies, birds and other subjects.

Also traditional in Hispanic art is magical reality or portrayal of the unseen, the spiritual in nature. Her work includes many such references including hummingbird and butterfly images as well as spirals of dots of brilliant color symbolizing spirit’s presence in our material world. All inspired by her lineage, Busik’s art thus pays homage to her heritage, to “my Grandmother’s art.”

In recognition of the MUSE conference commencing on First Friday, Lisa Marie Sipe, MUSE artist, shows The War is Over, a sculpture of encaustics on wood. Therein, the artist connects her passion for the wilderness and her vision of abstractions in nature into a modern aesthetic.

Into a wooden panel covered with clear encaustic wax, she carves shapes filled with pigmented encaustic. The artist then painstakingly removes the clear encaustic wax leaving only colored wax shapes that rise up 1/8 inch above the panel. Intricate and time consuming, Sipe’s process creates an intriguing, delicate three-dimensional sculpture of light, color and form.

All of the galleries/businesses listed in this section will be open for First Friday Art Walk, from 5-8pm.

Please Send First Friday Submissions to Pamela@cascadebusnews.com by no later than March 16 for the April issue.

The exhibit continues thru March 26.

A Bend artist and a native of Chicago’s suburbs, Sipe studied design at Arizona State University.

The CBS Arizona Morning Show praised her success as a sculptural encaustic artist. Phoenix Magazine noted her work in Making Their Mark and Ignite magazine named her Artist of the Month. Her art appears in the permanent collection of the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Now an active member of the Central Oregon art community, Sipe recently completed, with the City of Bend, a storm drain public art project located at Galveston and Columbia.

A 2016 MUSE artist, she will facilitate the MUSE Creativity Salon on Friday, March 4, from 8-9am.

Sipe’s collage at the Oxford reflects her early desire of fashion design. After high school, she pursued this dream only to discover that the fashion industry failed her expectations. Following migraines and disappointment, the artist determined to take her design ambitions into a new world. The body of work presently showing honors that time and decision. Using W magazine pages from 1995 and images from National Geographic, her playful collage pays homage to the fashion and design world while celebrating her current focus, the creative world of fine art.

The lobby exhibition is open all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule with info at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave. 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com Featuring two local artists. Like the trilobites that quickly evolved in the ancient Cambrian seas, the woodwork of Cambrian Co. constantly evolves while allowing the unique stories of each tree’s life to shine through to the final piece. Ian Herdell and Laura Childers are the creative force behind Cambrian Co., and together create beautiful marquetry wall art, furniture and treasure boxes that strive to be a statement of place and time. They harvest and

mill much of the wood they use from neighborhood trees and serendipitous finds throughout the west.

Their work is meticulously finished with products that are exceptionally durable and non-toxic.

Michael Gwinup will be showing his raku fired wall plates, murals and vases. His unique wall murals are created using clay as a canvas. Each piece begins as a large slab of clay which he sculpts, textures and carves to bring out the beauty and essence of the Central Oregon landscape. Once he is finished with the basic design, Michael cuts the mural into smaller pieces, using the natural lines of the composition. Each piece is glazed and fired in the raku process. When finished the pieces are reassembled on a wood backing and then are ready to hang in a home or office.

Sage Custom Framing and Gallery 834 NW Brooks St., 541-382-5884, www.sageframing-gallery.com Every Picture Tells a Story (Group Show).

What is it that possesses an artist to paint a particular subject?

Why paint a tree purple instead of green, or the sky red instead of blue? What is going on in the mind of the person wielding the brush? Are they choosing elements of their compositions at random or is there something with a deeper meaning they are trying to convey?

Every Picture Tells a Story, the current group show explores why artists do what they do and what they are trying to say with their work. Each unique piece of art is accompanied by an explanation, story or poem, attempting to give the viewer some insight into the mind of the artist.

investigates printmaking as a form of innovative artistic expression.

Insight into Shetterly’s working processes and printmaking techniques include investigations in relief print, monotype, monoprints and collage giving the viewer a glimpse into the patient technical procedures and design possibilities that underpin the celebration of printmaking.

“To me, printmaking is an unrestricted creative medium, the design possibilities, techniques and variations on how the combinations of print techniques talk to each other are wide open to the interpretation and innovation of each artist. It is captivating.”

Rhodes is a pastel artist with a fondness for encaustics pantings that have a penchant

toward realism. She says, “Most of my paintings are now encaustics which is the ancient art of wax painting.

The High Desert Speaker Series

he Oregon Natural Desert Association’s (ONDA) High Desert Speaker Series continues in Bend on March 15 at 7pm.

Chuck Gates, founding board member of the East Cascades Bird Conservancy, will present details of the lives and behaviors of the many fascinating birds that call Oregon’s high desert home.

In its second year, the series has moved to Bend’s historic Old Stone Church for its greater seating capacity, yet the first two events sold out weeks ahead of time. Guests are encouraged to act quickly, as seats go fast.

“After the runaway success of last year’s series, we knew we wanted to expand the program for 2016,” said Brent Fenty, ONDA executive director. “There’s so much in the desert to explore, from wildflowers to human history to where to hike and fish, and it’s clear people are excited to learn more about what’s sometimes a lesserknown area of the state.”

Since his first outing in 1988, Birds of Oregon’s High Desert presenter Chuck Gates has been birding almost every day. He helped develop birding checklists for all 36 of Oregon’s counties and maintains a local database of bird sightings which is submitted to Cornell University’s eBird database.

A retired science teacher, Gates earned a degree in biology education from Southern Oregon State College. He will put his passion for education and birds into a presentation that will equip birdwatchers to experience the wonders of birding in the Oregon high desert, while highlighting the need for the conservation of vital bird habitat. The event, presented in partnership with East Cascades Audubon Society, is sure to inspire a birdwatching adventure and encourage a commitment to protect the places these birds inhabit.

The series’ grand finale in April will feature a special presentation by Gena Goodman-

Arts

Campbell, ONDA’s Central Oregon Wilderness Coordinator. With almost a decade of experience working to protect special desert places in Bend’s backyard, Gena’s expertise in local desert wilderness will give you the inside scoop on where to go to experience their beauty and wonder for yourself as well as what you can do to protect them for future generations.

The Oregon Natural Desert Association is a Bendbased nonprofit organization that has worked to protect, defend and restore Oregon’s high desert for almost 30 years. Learn more at ONDA.org or about the event at ONDA.org/HighDesertSeries.

Registration is now open for the popular speaker series. The event is free and open to the public, and guests are asked to reserve seats using Eventbrite at http://bit.ly/ChuckGatesHDSS. Doors open at 6:30 pm at the Old Stone Church, 157 NW Franklin St.

ounded in 2012 by Cari Brown and Stuart Breidenstein, The Workhouse is one of Bend’s pioneering collaborative creative workspaces. Situated in the heart of Bend’s oldest remaining industrial center, The Workhouse is bringing new life back to what was once The Bend Iron Works with interactive open artist studios, a retail gallery and exhibition space, along with a host of creative workshops.

The Workhouse holds monthly art celebrations the last Saturday of every month in cooperation with several other creativity-based businesses in The Old Ironworks.

Last Saturday is a free celebration of local art, music, food and beverages that allows the community an inside look at the dynamic art scene that is taking root and growing strong here in Bend. These celebrations, in which The Workhouse plays a vital

role, have distinguished the Old Ironworks Arts District as Bend’s local hub for arts culture.

In honor of their anniversary, The Workhouse owner, Cari Brown, has curated a very special event featuring new-comer, Breezy Winters. Winters’ photography series, The Collector will be exhibited.

Cari was inspired by The Collector: an evocative body of work, feeling that it might open up dialogue and raise awareness about the issue of environmental degradation. It is through art-based events such as this that The Workhouse, heading into its fifth year, seeks to positively impact the Bend community. The evening will also include musical guests, MOsely WOtta, and a theme inspired dance performance choreographed by Anna Witham; this will be the first dance performance at The Workhouse and only the second time that their

big central table will be used as a stage! Additionally, conservation group ONDA (Oregon Natural Desert Association) will be on site to share about their latest project and Brown is collaborating with Rethink Waste Project to host an interactive disposal station in order to educate and further raise awareness.

This Last Saturday celebration is March 26, from 6-10pm.

Beverages are free but be sure to bring your own cup! (The Ironworks is a plastic free zone.)

Alternatively you can purchase

a signature fourth Anniversary tumbler at The Workhouse. www.theworkhousebend.com

Artwork that Touches the Community Exhibition at Partners in Care Gallery

by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer

T

he Arts in Care Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting fine art that explores the therapeutic connection between human creativity and the healing arts. Their mission statements explains how, “art has the rare ability to mend social, psychological and physical ills by building community, inspiring change and celebrating life.” The rotating displays are intended to feature artwork that speaks to the larger community and the desire to educate, empower and cultivate caregivers, families and patients alike.

“This space is not just a gallery,” explains gallery coordinator Marlene Moore Alexander. “Patients, families, caregivers and outside community members use this room for various reasons.” The atmosphere is set by the artwork in the gallery, and therefore brings the space alive.

This month two artists are featured at the Partners in Care gallery, photography by Pat Ortley and jewelry by Marianne Prodehl.

Pat Ortley retired from teaching art in order to pursue her many artistic interests. “It is clear to me that the older I get, the more complicated my interests become,” Ortley explains. “I don’t go out

T

into the desert anymore, and instead I challenge myself by painting the subjects from my mind.”

When it comes to her inspirations, Ortley explains that music plays a huge role. “The way my mind is stimulated by music is similar to the way I interact with art,” she says. “These photographs I take of junk cars are completely untouched in the sense that I see objects that I’m visually attracted to and then take photos. The lines and composition come alive before my eyes.”

Marianne Prodehl in a similar vein uses “junk metal” and transforms it into beautiful jewelry.

“I started out welding garden art and cutting

he new City Walls exhibit showcases some of the best work of our nearly 85 PAPO members.

Daniel O’Neil says, “some of the art was done in the studio, but the vast majority was done outdoors, onsite, in a short single painting session. Plein air artists can use a variety of media, from oil or acrylic paint, watercolor or pastels to capture the time and season of the beautiful Central Oregon landscape on a given day.”

Plein Air Painters of Oregon or PAPO is a regional artists’ organization with its roots in Bend. Founded by a group of local outdoor painting enthusiasts in 2003, it provides scheduled opportunities for artists to gather at various locations between March and November. Often the sites are within an hour’s drive of Bend. Most weeks there are at least two events scheduled to choose from.

“We have sponsored out-of-town paint outs in such locations as Yachats at the ocean, Steens Mountains to the southeast of the state and the Clarno Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds,” says O’Neil. “In the off-season, we encourage members to gather for draw-ins at local coffee houses and pubs.”

Work can be seen on display at various Central Oregon

galleries during the year. They sponsor at least one visiting guest artist workshop for members each year.

En plein air is a French expression which means in the open air and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Plein air artists see and embrace the landscape unvarnished, describing for the viewer the beauty before them. It is the ultimate battle of light and time. Plein air artists brave cold, heat, wind to capture a fleeting moment in time—an adventure like none other.

“We encourage and learn from each other, have only one formal meeting a year and provide a safe and enjoyable environment to paint outdoors with friends,” concludes O’Neil. oneil@bendbroadband.com

things up from the garage,” says Prodehl. “I’ve been creating things all of my life.” Her strategy for making jewelry is finding designs that she is interested in and then learning new processes for executing those designs. “It’s an incredibly complicated process to learn to set stones, especially for rings. But now that I have learned, my goal is to get faster at it!” she says. Prodehl is an artist at The Workhouse and shows her work any various craft shows, festivals and trunk shows.

These artists will be showing their work through March, and artwork is available for purchase. www.partnersbend.org/category/arts-in-care-gallery

The Creative Collaboration of a Central Oregon Collective

by Madelynn Bowers cascade A&E Feature Writer

W

alking through the doors of Tumalo Art Co., one is met with an experience unlike any other in Bend. A fine art gallery with a twist, this collective is entirely owned and operated by 14 member artists, and offers clientele the unique opportunity to view the artistic process as it occurs.

The artists who hold membership with the gallery work to create their pieces within Tumalo Art Co.’s walls, and proprietor Susan Luckey Higdon explains, “each of us have learned to discuss each other’s work” with the public. In fact, Higdon, says it takes a, “different kind of artist to be a collective,” because of this consistent dialogue. This

"Riding a bike was one of my first tastes of personal freedom. I have had a similar relationship with art, so choosing a bike to personify my artistic journey seemed a natural choice.” -Shelli Walters

“We seem to have the rarely frequented winding stone roads to ourselves. The quiet drama of these vignettes call to be painted, in a somewhat primitive and certainly colorful way. C'est la vie!"

-Carla Spence

specific niche creates a real feeling of community and family, which Higdon claims enables the collective to have such a relaxed and open atmosphere, and a truly respectful and supportive culture. Artists come from diverse backgrounds here, and a myriad of mediums, ranging from oil on canvas to beautiful and finely crafted jewelry, await anyone entering Tumalo Art Co. Higdon believes it is this positive and welcoming environment that keeps member artists present for the duration they are, and accounts for the infrequency of open positions, and open space, inside the collective. Differing largely from a more traditional gallery in the responsibilities allotted to its members, artists at this collective do

“In my journey as an artist, I think it is important to stretch myself, learn new techniques and expand the limits of my painting knowledge and capabilities. To that end, I take classes and workshops from painters I admire and who enable me to get the results I'm striving for.”

-Helen Brown

"For me, any journey describes moving myself into new or changing environments. Reaching beyond comfort zones, and expanding my bubble of perceptions and knowledge. The journey is where curiosity and inspiration are fostered, where passion and creativity flourish." -David Kinker

Arts

have a say in which of their works are shown, and the overall success of the many is reliant on the collaboration and teamwork of these individuals.

The pieces of a different artist are showcased monthly, so members are additionally promised a show within a 12 to 18 month period. Sprinkled within this duration, one may find the collective hosting an occasional group show, where the work of gallery members, and the rare guest artist, is displayed. A primary condition of membership; artists must devote two and a half days, per month, to creating their pieces at the gallery, and working to establish important and healing relationships with the population of the Central Oregon area.

Opening March 4, and continuing

throughout the month, Tumalo Art Co., presents group show Journey, highlighting the spiritual, physical and artistic journeys undertaken by collective artists. Accompanying a piece of the artist’s choice are the written words of the individual, discussing this venture, and the significance of this particular work to their artistic journey. Journey is a dialogue between the public and these artists, and offers a glimpse into the hand-in-hand hard work and creativity required by these collectives.

"My art journey always seems to take me to the more remote, isolated parts of the West where silence is the loudest thing around. My urban journeys usually are to museums to see the works of early 20th Century artists— Edgar Payne, Maynard Dixon—whose timeless paintings capture my soul." -Janice Druian

"I began painting at an early age. My father was an artist and taught me to paint by having me study and copy paintings created by the Old Masters, mainly portraits. My love of experimentation eventually led me to encaustic painting and printmaking and often I will combine different techniques on a single piece."

-Barbara Hudin

I have found immense joy in striving to depict the ever-changing atmosphere, light and eternal energy of the earth. As you view my work, I hope to bring you along with me, for at least a few minutes, on this lifelong journey that is my art.”

-Marty Stewart

“Roads Traveled captures the outer landscapes in my life using a completely new process for me. As a fifth generation Oregonian, my heart is here, but I’ve also lived in Southern California, Reno, Nevada and Nasvhile,Tennesee, and each place has left an imprint on my work." -Mary Marquiss

Tumalo Art Co., is open seven days a week, and is located at 450 SW Powerhouse Dr., #407, Bend, OR 97702. The Collective can be reached at 541-385-9144

he idea for CritGroup started in 2005 over a lunch between Janice Druian and Pat Clark. Pat was launching A6 (Atelier 6000), a studio where artists could engage in creative experiences in printmaking and book arts.

Janice was restarting a career as an oil painter, something she had put on hiatus for decades. She said that to progress, she really needed a more substantive connection with local artists who could critique her work. She had taken a workshop from Katherine Taylor and felt that Katherine offered the focused attention that had been missing years ago in art school.

Together, they decided to see if some local artists would be interested in participating in a critique/discussion group. The initial group included Katherine Taylor, Vicki Shuck, Sarah Hansen, Tracy Leagjeld, Pat Clark, Janice Druian and Nancy Hass.

The first meeting was a success and the group identified some criteria for membership. Participants needed to be serious, working artists. If not creating art as a full-time job, members needed to be consistent in building a body of work that was substantial. Another criterion was not to limit artists to one style or media. Interplay between oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, printmaking and photographic artists was seen as beneficial.

Early on, Alisa Huntley and Barbara Hudin joined the group and over time, the group expanded to include Susan Luckey Higdon, Dorothy Freudenberg, Sandra Miller, Karen Bandy and finally, David Kinker. Each new artist offered a new perspective, and the critiques grew richer from their participation.

Although the process for critiques

has modified over time, (informal, to structured, to a balance between informal and adherence to some fundamental concepts…color harmony, composition, line, etc.) the goal has been consistent: providing a place where respected colleagues could offer insight so that the individual artist could grow and expand their understanding of art and improve as an artist.

The group meets monthly and artists bring what they are currently working on. The artist first describes what they are trying to accomplish with an individual piece and then the group offers insight. Members have claimed that they make significant changes to individual works based on this input.

This group has met consistently for over a decade, and primarily meets at Karen Bandy Studio every second Wednesday of the month. Karen has emerged as the member coordinator and scheduling leader…a critical role to the ongoing life of this group.

Over the last decade, the CritGroup members have evolved as artists. An important side product has been the benefit to the larger community. Pat’s A6 has prospered and has really raised the level of artistic participation in the region.

Members of this group not only have seen their art careers grow, but they are actively involved with charitable contributions and many have gone on to mentor other emerging artists.

The spirit of this group—mutual respect and the desire to expand the artistic experience for the region— is consistent with the growing awareness of the arts in the region.

The spirit of harmony, inclusion, and cooperation (rather than competition) seems to be a hallmark of the people of Central Oregon itself, but especially among the artists who live and work here.

Exhibiting for the first time at the lodge gallery is photographer Russell Wells. A 17-year-old junior in a local high school, Wells is a selftaught photographer. A Bend native, the artist acquired an appreciation for the beauty of Central Oregon at a young age. In his early teens, he asked for the present of a camera with an interest in photographing the night sky.

With his first camera, the artist began photographing the complex imagery of the Milky Way. Over a two-year period, he developed considerable skill, teaching himself landscape photography from capturing the image to the final print production.

Wells notes,“Every day I continually admire God’s amazing creation and strive to capture the elements of His world. It’s my goal to share the beauty of God’s creative work and bring the outdoors…indoors.”

eatured artists Bonnie Junell, oil painting; Kim Leahy, beaded jewels.

You’re invited to meet them as well as many other local artists on March 12, 4-6pm for Second Saturday celebration with food, wine and fun.

Kim Leahy is new to Central Oregon and an accomplished artist in ‘seed bead’ jewels…the art of creating jewelry works with tiny colorful beads from Japan. Kim’s ideas generally begin with the beautiful beads. Often it is a center focal piece or just the color of a bead that she can’t wait to work with. At times it is bits of leather or fibers that strike her imagination. Kim’s jewels have an old world charm. The pieces range from earrings and necklaces to bold cuff bracelets. One of her pieces was recently accepted into Bead and Button magazine, which is the publication in the bead world.

Bonnie Junell started drawing as a young child and her first oil painting class was with her grandmother at the age of eight. Bonnie was hooked on painting and later attended the Downtown Portland Commercial Art School. After a long career in the fashion world, she again became a full time artist in 2005. Bonnie is a member of the Northwest Painters Guild and has also been juried into the Oil Painters of America. This month will feature Bonnie’s oil paintings of fields of red poppies as well as vistas of colorful aspen groves.

Both of our March featured artists offer classes at the Artists’ Gallery. No prior experience necessary….come and have fun.

DAVID JACOBS-STRAIN ACOUSTIC & ELECTRIC SHOW WITH BAND!

Reserved Seating $22.50 - WWW.tickets.towertheatre.org

Welcome to The Sisters Country

S

isters Folk Festival (SFF) will present the Boston-based band The Ballroom Thieves in concert Saturday, April 9 at the Sisters High School auditorium. After a warm and excited reception at the 2015 Sisters Folk Festival, the band is back in Central Oregon touring with their friends and peers, Tall Heights.

For The Ballroom Thieves, the band’s journey has only just begun, but their roots already run quite deep. On their most recent recording, A Wolf in the Doorway, the Thieves find themselves taking the very idea of “roots” and creating ways to make its associated sound progress, while making its encompassing spirit glow. Stylistically, the trio finds a captivating mélange of acoustic styles, blending folk conventions with modern hymnals, delta blues grit with rich harmonies, exploring the basic constructions of pop music while almost rejecting its restrictions at the same time. The band is incredibly dynamic live, with a quiet presence on ballads and a fiery delivery of some of their more rocking tunes. With Martin Earley on guitar, Calin Peters on cello and Devon Mauch on drums, the band is pushing the boundaries of acoustic music.

“Our own personal growth and explorations in songwriting and musicianship caused us to end up

in this unique spot where we can generally feel free to be who we are at all times, which is sadly not a luxury enjoyed by all,” says guitarist Earley.

“I think we have a certain sound at the moment, but that sound is constantly evolving, and I hope it keeps doing that.” Be sure to catch their live show in Sisters to see where this evolution is taking them.

Also performing is the duo Tall Heights, comprised of Tim Harrington and Paul Wright on guitar and cello. Their music blends soulful stories with arresting vocal harmonies that pry open emotional themes. On their recent recording Holding On, Holding Out, the duo widens their reach significantly, beefing up their sound with electronics, synthesizers, drums loops and plenty of shimmer and shine.

“This record feels like a new birth for us,” says Harrington, a Boston, MA native who grew up singing in the same local choirs as Wright. “We’re sounding different. It’s not because we were bored; it’s because we were street performers who learned how to create beautiful moments as a duo, but then we became a nationally touring act. We saw the country, and we broadened our horizons.

Suddenly, we weren’t the artists we were before.

But a lot of what we learned on the street still

This matured into Betty Anne and Tierney’s current collaborative collection, The Wardrobe Meets the Wall, a collection of art quilts made from recycled garments and garment manufacturing samples.

For this show they opted to use scraps and fortunately found items.

allery 15 in Burns announce that a new exhibit was installed on February 5. Ron Jahns of Burns will be the featured artist through March.

Jahns paints from the heart as well as from his experiences. Born and raised on a ranch, he is well acquainted with the subjects of his western artwork.

In addition, Ron lived in Alaska for 17 years, spending much of his time fishing and trapping. He observed the wildlife around him and has conveyed this wild setting and spirit in many of his paintings.

Working in acrylics and oils, Ron has captured the expanse of nature, the raw energy of the wild, the partnership of horse and rider, the beauty and solitude of ranch life and the intimate setting of a bunkhouse. The paintings in the Gallery 15 exhibit are large format originals, in unique wood frames.

Although self-taught, Ron has taught painting in college and private settings and his paintings have been sold widely throughout the United States.

eaturing artist Lyla Messick April 8-10.

Painter and photographer Lyla Messick combined her biology and fine art degrees in the beginning of her career to draw birds, plants and animals with scientific accuracy. Lyla lives in Harney County at the Malheur Field Station, which allows her easy access to the vast Southeast Oregon capturing a sense of time and the experience of being present in the environment. She paints her landscapes in multiple stages—sometimes over many hours, sometimes over several days—and with techniques that emphasize capturing the impressions of a moment over fine details. Each panel is a document of the subtle changes in light, atmosphere and environment that happen over time. “I’m trying to capture the essence of being here all day,” she says, “and bring that to the viewer.”

Lyla was featured in 2011 on Oregon Art Beat as she worked on a three panel portrait of Big Indian Gorge.

Kayo’s Surprise

Cuisine

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

C

hef Kayo Oakley’s restaurants have been Bend institutions for decades. Still, his current establishment—Kayo’s Dinner House and Lounge, which he opened in 2010—was not on my radar until my dad and brother started going there for Happy Hour a couple of years ago.

Their accounts of oysters on the half shell and blackened prime rib chunks intrigued me, but did not spur me into action.

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I finally got to the restaurant with its unassuming exterior, but it sure wasn’t a vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace, white table cloths and food that would make me curse myself for not having gotten there sooner.

We had barely settled into our glasses of wine when Kayo’s seafood sampler, with its perfectly-seared pepper ahi along with the freshest monster prawns and sweet morsels of crab, hit our table. Fresh is the name of the game here. So is seafood. Over-the-top seafood that you can’t find elsewhere. Like crawfish pie (amazing crust, amazing filling); crispy, melt-in-your-mouth crab hush puppies and sautéed abalone—a delectable first for me and my friends. The super creamy clam chowder tasted too much like bacon for my taste, but my friends adamantly disagreed. The chilled oysters provided a lovely, clean contrast to all this old-school richness, while the prime rib chunks served with burnt butter Worcestershire sauce were as tasty as had been reported.

Did I mention that the home-baked bread is served with smoked salmon mousse?

Almost all the entrées were equally impressive. I have to admit that the redfish special with crab mashed potatoes tasted fishy to me and one of my tablemates, but the other two thought we were nuts and loved the dish. We were all unanimous in our raves about our other three entrées.

The tender, well-marbled Kobe New York steak with compound butter was large enough for three. “This is one of the best steaks I’ve ever had,” exclaimed my foodie buddy Leah. “I don’t know what they do to Kobes, but I love them.”

The Rajun Cajun Pasta showcased crawfish, shrimp and Andouille sausage, all sautéed in garlic and Cajun spices, tossed with Penne and finished with heavy cream. The dish was as decadent and delicious as it sounds.

Finally, we loved the lemon kick in the large, golden, crusty and positively memorable crab and lobster cakes, which were all seafood and no filler.

“This stuff is so fresh, we could be seaside,” said my friend Jill.

“And it’s not pouring rain,” added Leah.

Dessert did not disappoint. The eggy crème brûlée, served with raspberries, was delicious and downright silky. The three flavors of crazy-good, housemade ice cream—red velvet cake (including the cream cheese frosting), blood orange and chocolate and sea-salt caramel—speak for themselves.

“I would come back and order every single one of these dishes,” Leah concluded at the end of our comprehensive tour of Kayo’s menu.

Here’s to surprises right in our own backyard.

Central Oregon Symphony Profile Gayle Hoagland

T

he clarinet has been the river that runs through the life of Gayle Hoagland, whether as student, wife, mother, financial broker or community gardener. The Oregon native picked up the clarinet at 11, played jazz at Clackamas High School, chamber music at Hollins Women’s College in Virginia and continued in band and orchestra at Lewis and Clark College in Portland. After graduation, while working in the financial industry, Gayle joined her flautist sister and cellist mother in the Marylhurst Orchestra, and she found her future husband in the trombone section! After marrying in 1975, the couple moved to Vermont where Gayle played the clarinet in pit orchestras for the Burlington Lyric Theatre.

In the late 1980s, wanting to have their two children closer to grandparents, the Hoaglands moved to Bend and soon joined the Central Oregon Symphony.

After 30 years behind a desk in the financial industry, Gayle took to the outdoors, studying gardening and food preservation. She founded Plainview Gardens, an herb and vegetable starts business. These days, when she’s not planting or pickling or helping conductor Gesme as personnel manager for musicians, she’s rehearsing for an upcoming symphony, Cascade Winds, opera or musical performance.

With her husband on the trombone and Michael Gesme as the incredible glue that keeps the music scene all together, Hoagland says, “The Symphony is family.”

Acclaimed Soprano Emily Pulley

Lead Role in Via Lactea

T

eam Via announced that acclaimed soprano Emily Pulley has accepted the role of Peregrina in the world premiere of Via Lactea: An Opera in Two Acts, which will debut in Bend’s historic Tower Theatre June 10-12.

Pulley is the first singer cast in a leading role in this new work, set against the backdrop of the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Pulley’s radiant voice and electrifying acting have won her both national and international acclaim on the operatic stages.

A frequent presence at the Metropolitan Opera, Pulley’s roles in the legendary house included Marguerite in Faust, Nedda in Pagliacci, Blanche in Dialogues des Carmélites, Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel, Anne Trulove in The Rake’s Progress, Musetta in La bohème, Valencienne in The Merry Widow, Thérèse in Les mamelles de Tirésias and Erste Dame in a new production of Die Zauberflöte directed by Julie Taymor.

She has performed with the Portland and Seattle Opera companies. A champion of contemporary repertoire, Pulley created the role of Lysia in the world premiere of Mark Adamo’s new opera, Lysistrata, in her Houston Grand Opera début, which she then reprised for New York City Opera.

“Vía Láctea, an original opera

written by Ellen Waterston and composed by Rebecca Oswald, is an exciting new work that addresses a variety of timely yet timeless themes, placed against the backdrop of the Camino de Santiago in Spain.

The opera, sung in English, will be a fully staged production

by OperaBend. It is based on award-winning author and poet Ellen Waterston’s verse novel, Vía Láctea: A Woman of a Certain Age Walks the Camino. The title of the opera stems from the folkloric belief that the Milky Way, always overhead when walking the Camino, was created by dust kicked up by pilgrims’ feet over centuries of pilgrimages.

Vía Láctea promises a lively, bold and alternately serious and humorous experience. The creative team charged with bringing Vía Láctea to the stage includes Jason Stein and Nancy Engebretson, principals of OperaBend, librettist Waterston, composer Oswald, conductor Michael Gesme and musicians from the Central Oregon Symphony, and set designer Ron Schultz, who created the original drawings for A6’s art book version of Vía Láctea. www.writingranch.com www.operabend.org info@writingranch.com 541-480-3933

New Perspective for March by Eileen Lock

isten to your heart on the 2nd as it invites you to make changes. Conversations on the 4th could be challenging and could lead you to adjust your guidelines over the next few days. Trust enough to take a step forward and realize you are making very important decisions that will lead to more changes. The New Moon on the 8th is the perfect time to listen to your inner guidance as new opportunities begin to present themselves. Move towards what feels right and you will end up exactly where you need to be.

Allow yourself to dream on the 10th and ask for what you want to see happen next. Take the high road on the 14th and speak your truth with an open heart.

Opportunities are cooperative near the 16th, you simply need to be ready to make the changes. The Spring Equinox on the 19th invites you to focus on yourself and your own happiness. The Full Moon on the 23rd will be filled with conversations about new beginnings. Opportunities are available during this time if you are willing to make the decision.

Cooperative conversations on the 24th will inspire forward motion and could give you a glimpse of your future. Have faith as you maneuver through important changes on the 25th and make a point to think positive about your outcome. Life starts to make more sense on the 26th as you begin to see what is possible. Decisions made on the 29th are cooperative and will inspire more new beginnings. Changes over the last few days will require you let go of the past and be willing to take a huge leap forward. Conversations on the 31st are surprising and will show you more about the current changes. Stay open to “anything is possible” and you could see magic happen.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock, Clairvoyant Astrologer/Spiritual Medium 541-389-1159, 1471 NW Newport Ave., Bend www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com Listen for the song in your heart, find the melody and dance to the music.
