Supportive, Artful Collaborations Working in Central Oregon

S

ince 1959 after an unknown painter left a house to Deschutes County for use as a community painting studio, SageBrushers Art Society has been consistently providing a cooperative home to increase knowledge of skills and principles of the arts for our community.

Imagine the abundance of art this organization has championed over the past nearly sixty years. Welcoming all mediums of art with artists of varying skill levels the SageBrushers’ house offers a place where artists can create at any time, take classes in various media, attend talks by well known artists and ... just have fun. The house also serves as a gallery where members can present and sell their work.

The Society is a nonprofit entity and the members are responsible for maintenance on the building and the property and expenses. Sale of works from exhibits helps to support the Society along with membership dues ($50/ year) and donations.

That cooperative spirit and the formation of thriving cooperative galleries is alive and well in Central Oregon.

Tumalo Art Co. was started in 2001 by Marta Batha and was housed in Tumalo Junction. She had a vision for an art collective. Eventually Susan Luckey Higdon and Tracy Leagjeld became the principals, forming the nucleus of the restructured gallery and with the collective members moved the gallery first to downtown Bend and then to the Old Mill District in 2009 where the gallery could benefit from pedestrian traffic.

After trying several models for the collective structure, Luckey Higdon and Leagjeld settled on 12-15 artists in the collective as well as other artists in a traditional gallery relationship. The collective artists pay a monthly space rental fee and work at the gallery in return for receiving a higher commission when their artwork sells. This enables the gallery to cover its operating costs, as it continues to build its reputation as a high-quality, artist-run gallery.

During the recession, other area artists saw a gap in availability of venues to exhibit and sell their work. Only five years old, Red Chair Gallery founders decided to fill that void in downtown Bend with a retail storefront offering artists a place to exhibit and sell their work. Red Chair is not actually a coop, although the four partner owners did use that model as the basis for their business structure. Input from members is valued, says partner and gallery director Dee McBrien-Lee, but all final decisions are made by the partner owners creating a streamlined decision-making process.

Red Chair’s members and partner owners are responsible for all the work at the gallery. There are no paid employees which keeps costs manageable. Dee applauds the way they have created a real family leading to little turnover in artist members.

Artist Midge Thomas, founder and owner of the cooperative Artists’ Gallery Sunriver, remembers participating in an outdoor show and trying to hold down her work from the wind. So in 2011 she opened the Sunriver gallery and says it is thriving beyond her expectations. She is the official owner who handles the business side but they operate as a co-op with all the artists working there two days a month and committees handling various aspects from promotion to art openings.

Midget loves the fact that the artists get involved and it becomes their gallery with not just one person deciding what kind of art they’ll have.

July 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

Hood Avenue Art Gallery in Sisters was started just one year ago by seven partners, all accomplished artists. It was set up as a legal partnership with each partner taking a different job in the operations of the gallery: marketing, finance director and office staff, scheduling, the physical gallery direction, membership, events coordination and community relations.

Tina Brockway and Katherine Taylor said they all established the collaborative effort because their vision of an art gallery is a place to be creative, pursuing new ideas without limitations. They wanted an uncluttered venue for their work and a comfortable space for teaching, music and good food as they have a multi-talented group of partners and core members, musicians, great cooks and awesome teachers.

They now use the gallery for small concerts, events and theatre venues and teaching. Having a partnership and a few members helps disperse the risk financially and distributes the staffing of the gallery. The artists are making enough money to make it worthwhile, while still having freedom to create without having to monitor the gallery every day.

The Art Adventure Gallery in Madras was created nearly twenty years ago to capture the breadth and character of local works and bring them to residents and visitors of Central Oregon. It is a cooperative effort of the artists involved and is staffed and managed by volunteers. (Continued on Page 22)

An Uncommon Beauty by Vicki Shuck and Janice Druian| Courtesy of Favell Museum

Shuck & Druian Work Shown at Favell Museum

Local artists, Vicki Shuck (Bend) and Janice Druian’s (Terrebonne) yearlong project, An Uncommon Beauty may be seen at the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls through July.

Oregon is recognized for its beauty and independent spirit. Much of that beauty is found in the farming and ranching areas east of the Cascades. This is the second time Vicki and Janice have teamed up to capture the people and land that is so archetypal of rural Oregon.

Over 55 pieces are on display at the museum.

The seed for this project was planted in 2001 after the water crisis began in earnest in the Klamath Basin.

Suddenly seeing how a way of life (rural, agricultural) was in such a precarious position, Vicki began thinking that she wanted to somehow document the place she grew up in (Merrill, Oregon) and valued so much. As an artist, her natural way to do this is through creating images. She particularly loves to paint and draw people.

Vicki enlisted Druian, landscape painter to join her.

Together they could capture the people and the land in this beautiful region. With that, the project became a reality.

You may also see more of Vicki’s work at Clearwater Gallery in Sisters. Janice shows at Tumalo Art Co., in the Old Mill District and at Clearwater in Sisters.

Billye Turner represents Janice and additional works curated by Billye can be seen at Sunriver Lodge and Franklin Crossing. www.favellmuseum.org

Painting En Plein Air Celebrated in OSU Exhibit

A new exhibit at Oregon State University’s Giustina Gallery celebrates the joys of painting outdoors with the Every Day Taste of Plein Air exhibit taking place through July 17 in The LaSells Stewart Center.

Painting en plein air was first popularized by Impressionist Claude Monet, who painted directly from the outdoors. The exhibit at OSU features a handselected list of 17 West Coast artists including Eric Bowman, Laurel Buchanan, Bets Cole, Anton Pavlenko, Aimee Erickson, Scott Gellatly, Michael Gibbons, Eric 7 July 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

Jacobsen, Marianne Post, Michael Rangner, Ken Roth, Erik Sandgren, Sarah Sedwick, Bill Shumway, Oleg Ulitskiy, Yer Za Vue and Paul Zegers.

Participating artist Michael Rangner explained why he enjoys painting en plein air.

“Painting outdoors allows my senses to experience the full spectrum of color, light and values,” Rangner said. “I love that nature presents a platform of motifs to guide my own feelings for design and composition.”

Briggs Selected for Northwest Watercolor Show

Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS) announced that Cindy Briggs of Bend, the only Central Oregon artist selected, has been chosen as one of the 86 artists selected for the 75th Annual International Open Exhibition on display through September 30 at the Washington State Convention Center.

Artists from throughout the U.S., India, Taiwan, Canada, Singapore, Turkey, Malaysia and Belarus have been chosen for this NWWS exhibit.

Artists’ Reception is Saturday July 11, 4:30-6:30pm.

Briggs’ painting, Sonata, inspired from her 2014 painting workshop tour of Venice, Italy, was chosen by internationally known juror Judy Morris out of more than 600 entries from seven countries and 24 states.

Co-juror Alvaro Castagnet, also internationally known, will decide with Morris who will receive the more than $15,000 in awards and merchandise. The announcements will be made at the Gala Awards Banquet that follows the reception at the Crowne Plaza-Seattle hotel across the street from the Convention Center. Artists interested

in attending the Saturday Workshops and Gala event can purchase tickets at www.NWWS.org.

Briggs and Theresa Goesling serve as co-chairs of the 75th Exhibition. They have been working on the Diamond Celebration for the past five years. “It is a mixture from the most realistic impressionism to impeccably crafted abstraction. It’s eye catching,” says Briggs. Goesling and Briggs noted what an honor it is for the Northwest to have these artists’ works from around the world shown at the Washington State Convention Center where thousands will see the extraordinary talents represented.

Former City Councilor Jodie Barram Joins the Nonprofit

The nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation has refocused its fundraising activities and hired a new staff member to expand upperlevel contributions. Jodie Barram started July 1 as the Tower’s director of major giving.

We l l - k n o w n across Central Oregon from her six years as Bend City Councilor, four of which she served as Mayor Pro Tem, Barram was instrumental in crafting policies and administering projects ranging from surface water improvement to the OSU-Cascades campus expansion, from Bend’s urban growth boundary to OLCC reforms. She’s been on the boards of Visit Bend and Bend 2030, and, since 2008, taught special needs students as a substitute education assistant for the Bend-LaPine School District.

“I’m excited to help individuals and businesses invest in the Tower Theatre Foundation through high-level memberships and sponsorships that ensure the vibrancy of performing arts in our community,” Barram said. As a leader with Bend 2030 for the past decade, Barram has many insights about the future of Bend. “The creative excitement of the performing arts is an essential element of our quality of life here. I’m thrilled to raise and strengthen the Tower’s role through this new job.”

Barram will procure, solicit and steward donors, sponsors and members at the $1,000 level and up. She will supervise and support Lisa Vann (donor relations manager) and Mollie Tennant (education coordinator).

The nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation owns and operates the historic stage in downtown Bend. The Foundation’s mission is to be the leading performing arts organization, providing cultural and education programs that make an essential contribution to Central Oregon’s lifestyle and strengthen the community.

Harvest Writing Contest

The Rescued Dog Problem Solver

he just released book, The Rescued Dog Problem Solver,

by Tracy Libby features Maty, the three legged disc dog, who gives back to the community that saved her life. The story demonstrates how Maty helps break the barriers associated with pet and human disabilities, and reaches thousands in her role as the Humane Society of Central Oregon’s humane education dog.

The book is useful to those who adopt or rescue dogs. It offers insights and techniques to ensure success.

With every adoption, the Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) hopes people understand the rewards of commitment. Dr. Liz Gray, a veterinarian and applied animal behaviorist, is developing HSCO’s new

behavior program.

Executive Director Sabrina Slusser said, “HSCO’s investment in a behavior program will provide individualized enrichment, training and socialization plans for every animal that will result in stronger and more loving bonds with their new families.”

Libby was inspired to write the book when she assisted her parents in adopting a shelter dog four years ago.

The goal of the book was to provide advice to new owners of shelter or rescue dogs. Libby said, “the book differs from other “rescue” books because it focuses on the positive aspects of rescue dogs, and how with the commitment and the proper training – and a huge dose of love – these dogs can and do make remarkable companions.”

Many of the dogs featured in the book have gone on to become ambassadors for rescued dogs.

Libby added, “Kota qualified for the World agility games, Levi qualified for the AKC national rally finals and, of course, Maty competed in two Skyhoundz Canine World Disc Championships.”

How to Make a Difference: State of Giving

O

regon’s communities of color suffer lower high school graduation rates and incomes than white Oregonians, Oregon women earn 79 cents to every dollar earned by men and one in three children live below the poverty line in Crook and Jefferson Counties. Arts organizations still struggle to keep their lights on, and rural towns still fight to balance economic and environmental needs.

The new book, State of Giving (OSU Press 2015), by Greg Chaillé and Kristin Anderson, tells the stories of ordinary citizens fighting against Oregon’s most intractable challenges.

Featuring many Central Oregon donors, volunteers and nonprofits leaders, the book is a ground-breaking celebration of Oregonians’ civic spirit and an impassioned call-to-arms for people across the city and the state to get more involved.

“Central Oregon’s communities, and communities across Oregon, are filled with people who are doing tremendous work on behalf of others,” says Chaillé.

But the people who are giving so much back to their communities seldom get their impact recognized.

“Their work—the work of donors, volunteers and nonprofit staff and of others who are civically engaged—is transformative; it changes lives and landscapes and improves our daily experience,” says Anderson. “We wanted to share their stories and show how their innovations and generosity are strengthening our state. This event will let the public learn about three great nonprofits, about general pathways into getting involved and about how to help strengthen our communities.”

"This work is not about book sales," says the authors. "It's about spreading the message that anyone, no matter who you are, can make a difference, and that Oregon's future depends upon more people realizing that and getting involved.”

Mimi Brody

imi Brody will join BendFilm as Festival Programmer for the 12th Annual BendFilm Festival which takes place October 8-11. Brody has extensive film programming experience with several film festivals and year-round film exhibition venues. Most recently she served as director of block cinema at Northwestern University and has worked as a film programmer for the UCLA Film and Television Archive, the Los Angeles Film Festival and the San

Francisco International Film Festival.

Brody joins Director Todd Looby and Office Manager David Penpek on the BendFilm staff. She will be responsible for overseeing programming for the 12th Annual BendFilm Festival. The four-day festival will include approximately 90 films (narrative features, documentaries and shorts), world-class juries, panels, special screenings and events.

“I am extremely grateful to the staff and board of BendFilm for this incredible opportunity,” said Brody. “BendFilm has established itself over the years as one of the best festivals for independent film. and I’m thrilled to be a part of the team. I look forward to working with the staff and the Bend community to celebrate the best of contemporary cinema in one of the most beautiful locales in the country, and to provide a singular experience for filmmakers and audiences alike.”

Brody’s addition will continue a very promising year for BendFilm. “We are very fortunate to add Mimi’s talent, knowledge, experience, connections and warm personality to our growing organization,” said Looby.

“No doubt she will help make BendFilm a not-to-miss festival.”

BendFilm has already received a record number of film submissions (the final deadline for entries is July 3) and was recently named one of the 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee by MovieMaker Magazine for the third year in a row.

BendFilm expects to welcome many more special guests to the Festival thanks to a generous grant from the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund to supplement guest and filmmaker travel costs.

BEAT Quality Youth Theatre Brings Bilingual Program to Central Oregon

H

ave you ever heard a cloud speak Spanish?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if all your friends suddenly started speaking a different language? This summer BEAT Quality Youth Theatre invites actors and audiences to find answers to these, and many more questions, through its very first bilingual production – The Princess is Sad / La Princesa Esta Triste.

For ten years BEAT has been encouraging young people across Central Oregon to rise to artistic and personal challenges through theatre programming. This summer we offer a new challenge – performing a story in both Spanish and English.

Director Kevin Campbell-White (co-founder and director of the Children’s Theater Company in Redmond) will lead a talented group of actors to thrill audiences with

language, culture and the joy of live theatre. This production will kick off a new part of BEAT programming as we work with our amazing students to explore multicultural performing arts.

With a diverse audience in mind, the performance will be accessible to people of all ages and language skills.

BEAT continues to pursue new and exciting ways to achieve our mission of empowering young people and bringing new cultural experience to Central and Eastern Oregon.

Bilingual theater is a long-standing tradition in many parts of the world and BEAT is very proud to bring a taste of it to our next season.

Audiences will be witness to the enrichment brought to a live performance by young people of varying backgrounds, working together to tell a story of friendship.

This production will be performed in Redmond and in Bend, July 22-26.

BEAT students will also spend time this summer at BEAT the Heat Summer Camps, and getting ready for our Fall production of James and the Giant Peach.

We hope kids and adults alike will find something to touch their hearts, challenge their minds and bring a joyful smile to their faces. www.beatonline.org

Sneak Peek is an annual event at Cascades Theatre when the season’s plays are introduced to the public. Directors give a brief description, then actors perform a scene, sometimes merely reading from scripts.

This helps audience members decide which plays they’d like to see and actors and crew decide which plays interest them.

The event is free and will be held the evenings of August 14-15 at 7:30pm and August 16 at 2pm.

This is a modernized versionset in a business world but retains the original language of Shakespeare.

Macbeth, an ambitious businessman, discovers from three strange secretaries that he can be CEO (king) if he simply kills a few people.

The production will hint at themes of the destructiveness of corporate greed, the distribution of wealth in our country and “we are the 99 percent” movement.

“Bend has ne’er seen a production such as this one and theatre in this town will never quite be the same. Our production proves that quality drama needs nothing more than talent, spirit and a few bad a** locations; we leave the rest to the bard,” says Director/ Actor Clinton K. Clark.

Sunriver Stars Community Theater STARS SEARCH

he Sunriver STARS Community Theater group is seeking new directors for its fifth season.“Our continued growth and improvement has led us to a point where we are seeking new directors for our next season,” said Founder Victoria Kristy. “We are currently recruiting those who have a desire, and hopefully some previous experience, at directing live theatre.”

The STARS have now completed 12 different productions for the Sunriver community. With each show, the talents of their casts and technical support volunteers has grown. Their success has led them to a point where they are now seeking those with a talent for directing. Anyone interested in 13 July 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

directing is encouraged to contact Kristy with their resume and a proposal for any particular show they would like to produce.

STARS wants to take this opportunity to thank a couple of local businesses that have provided them exceptional support.

Hammertime Home Center is providing free storage for their bulky set material.

“We at Hammertime feel privileged to help this group that does so much for our community. We place a high priority on family and community values. Helping STARS is a great way to meet that goal,” said Store Manager Buck Buckendorf.“We have past and present employees who are very involved with STARS including current

employee Debbie Conway.”

Two of Conway’s grandchildren, Wyatt and Rylee Miller, and her son-in-law Cully Lane, were in the June production, Wild, Wild, Wildest West.

STARS thanks Mark Halverson of Village Properties which is providing a free room for the group rehearsals.“This is a huge benefit to us,” said Kristy.“We survive on public donations and a very small budget. Now that we are being charged to use SHARC, getting free rehearsal space keeps us alive.”

Art in the High Desert Top Premier Fine Art Show

by TORI YOUNGBAUER A&E Feature Writer

A

s summer starts to settle over Central Oregon, we are reminded of warm weather, the beautiful outdoors and all of the summer traditions we have come to know and love. With August around the corner, the Old Mill District will soon come alive with one of the most revered summer traditions Central Oregon has known: Art in the High Desert (AHD).

Currently ranked 12 in the top 25 art shows in the nation by Art Fair Sourcebook, AHD brings over 110 nationally acclaimed, visual artists to on the banks of the Deschutes River to create a unique show experience for both the artists and the public.

AHD has been presenting art lovers and collectors with an impeccably juried fine art and craft show for eight years. Led by founders and local artists Dave and Carla Fox, AHD seeks to provide a show experience that professional artists cannot find anywhere else. The primary goal is to reduce the barrier between the artist and the public and create an intimate show space where 16 July 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

impeccable artworks are displayed and sold.

“This kind of show is reachable, and it’s good business opportunity for artists to take this kind of approach beyond galleries,” says director Dave Fox. “They have three days to interact on an intimate level. We tell them to just go for it!”

AHD benefits artists by helping them engage directly with the public, and the public can then learn about how inspirations are developed, why the artists do what they do and what goes into creating a fine piece of artwork.

Variety is key component to this outstanding show.

The artists are chosen from 14 different media categories including: 2-D mixed media, metal work, painting, 3-D mixed media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, print making, digital art, drawing, wearables, fiber nonwearables, glass, wood and jewelry.

With a few artists selected to represent each, this year’s show will not disappoint in variety. From pencil

drawings, to faux-bots and cast metal bowls, AHD has broad range of dynamic artwork that appeals to an array of art lovers.

The work that goes into selecting artists to show at AHD is crucial to the show’s success and the process is incredibly selective. Over 618 artists applied this year from 38 states and only a little over 100 get the opportunity. The completely anonymous application process includes six images of the artist’s best work and a brief artist statement.

There is a new jury every year who selects candidates for the upcoming show during a two-day intensive process, and there are no guarantees for artists who have shown at AHD in the past. 60 percent of the artists at AHD this year weren’t a part of the show last year.

Although there have been offers for a bigger show and more booths each year, Dave comments that the small venue and selective process is a part of what makes AHD special and unique from other shows and exhibitions around the country.

Intimacy is key and it thrives best within a small, select group of artists.

When it comes to criteria, applying seems simple: original thought and intent, going beyond the norm and consistency of style and presentation.

Jurors look specifically for artists

Cotillion Graphite Pencil Drawing by David Bjurstrom

who are not only experts within their craft, but also push themselves beyond the usual or expected. One of the most appealing traits of an AHD artist is their ability to step up to these challenges and produce work that is ground-breaking and one of a kind. This process allows not only a variety of work, but work that is truly exceptional and unique.

Another key to AHD’s success is the volunteers who put in the time and effort to make an outstanding show. Volunteers apply online in order to get involved and directly connect to the artists and their work.

Applying online is simple, and worth it! Volunteers can be hosts for artists travelling to the event, by providing accommodations.

AHD Home Hosting Program is designed to help visiting artists with lodging, connect with the community, other artists and the show itself. More hosts are always needed. Interested volunteers can learn more about volunteer opportunities on the AHD website.

Mockingbird Gallery 869 NW Wall St., 541-388-2107, www.mockingbirdgallery.com Featuring new work by Jack Braman and Richard McKinley. Both artists will be on hand from 5-9pm for their show Atmospheric Journey. Meet the artists, enjoy the wonderful selection of paintings and listen to the sounds of Rich Hurdle and Friends. Both artists, native Oregonians, are highly respected and nationally recognized. They are avid plein air painters.

Braman has worked as a full-time professional artist since graduating from the University of Oregon in 1974. He divides his time between painting outdoors and working in his studio. Painting is a spiritual experience for Jack. He totally immerses himself emotionally in the scene, focusing on the light moods of the waterways and landscapes of the Northwest: the Columbia Gorge, the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and the Idaho Sawtooth Mountains, as well as the coastal area of Carmel, California.

McKinley has been a professional working artist for four decades and has over 35 years of teaching experience. He teaches oil/pastel “en plein air” workshops throughout the United States and Europe. His beautiful, ethereal landscapes glow with color infused with light. The soft colors - violets, hazy blues, warm yellows and shimmering greens - define his impressionistic portrayals of the landscape.

Art at the Oxford Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Original collagraph monoprint of bicycles by Beale Jones. The images celebrate the annual Bend Tour des Chutes bike ride on July 11.

Jones, a lover of nature, finds Bend an ideal location for inspiration with its array of color, textures and patterns in surrounding landscape. The strong High Desert light influenced her use of strong, bold hues in her painting.

The artist’s move to Bend also influenced her imagery. Appreciative of simplified design, the High Desert starkness complimented her esthetic as did a frequently observed image of the area, bicycles.

Although an improbable subject, the elementary bicycle design of circles and straight lines spoke naturally to the artist. She cuts two dimensional bicycle forms from heavy paper board which she uses as her printing matrix (collagraph).

To the printed background, she then inks the bicycle form often using different colors to accent the seat and handbar. She then runs the piece through the printing press a second time to complete the print.

Billye Turner, art consultant, organizes exhibitions for the Oxford Hotel with information at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

QuiltWorks 926 NE Greenwood Ave. 541-728-0527 Featured Quilter will be Leotie Richards from Sisters. Her work is storytelling through quilt art. The group exhibit will be a variety of “Circle” quilts. The exhibit will be up thru August 5.

first friday in bend Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-3063176, www.redchairgallerybend.com New works by three of the area’s local artists. Janice Rhodes is in love with encaustics, but her husband doesn’t mind. She can’t resist the bold colors, texture and aroma. Encaustics is a seductive medium of melted pure beeswax, pigment and resin applied to a board and worked with a heat gun.

She sometimes ‘cheats’ and spends time with pastels, but she always returns to her hot wax.

Larissa Spafford creates colorful jewelry from glass beads that she makes one at a time in the flame of a torch. She is inspired by nature, feelings of happiness, joy, enthusiasm, serenity and playfulness.

She imagines her work to be little expressions of these feelings. She also finds inspiration in patterns, joyful colors, aquatic creatures, and all things botanical.

Mike and Michele Gwinup’s journey with clay started while attending Western Oregon University. Upon graduation in 1976, they moved to Bend and started their pottery business, Blue Spruce Pottery. In 2008, their daughter and sonin-law, Melissa and Patrick Woodman, joined them in their pottery business.

The four of them work from the Gwinup’s home studio, creating beautiful stoneware and Raku fired pottery.

Townshend’s Bend Teahouse 835 NW Bond St., Carrissa Glenn 503-803-4024 Featuring Erik Bernhoft, an amateur photographer in love with the pursuit of adventure. He is most in his element behind a camera while scrambling the mountains of the North Cascades, cruising the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, exploring remote corners of Alaska, gallivanting around the deserts of Southern Utah and more recently discovering the vast variety of outdoor recreation in Central Oregon. For Erik, photography is a way of bringing these stunning remote places back to share with others. Often he finds the challenge of creating quality photos is not necessarily a function of the camera or the photographer’s technical skill, but simply keeping the sensitive electronic equipment alive in extreme environments. www.emb3dphotography.com The Wine Shop 55 NW Minnesota Featuring works of SageBrushers artists: Jennifer Ware-Kempcke, Kendra West and Marty Stewart.

ocal artist Janice Rhodes says, “she is treated like a queen bee in her studio.”

Her medium is a blend of molten beeswax, pigment and damar resin called encaustics or hot wax. Her studio is close to downtown Bend and the Deschutes River and with doors open on warm days as she melts down the beeswax she will use for encaustics, the aroma draws bees in to visit with her.

“The smell enchants them and they will hover over my work.”

She wonders if this phenomenon occurred 2,000 years ago when the Greeks used the same process to seal ship hulls or maybe it occurred when Egyptian artisans prepared masks for funeral mummies using encaustics.

Interestingly, some of these Fayum “portraits” are still on exhibit Boy’s Best Friend by Janice Rhodes

in museums. In 1954 artist Jasper Johns and others introduced the contemporary encaustic movement that Janice, as well as others, is a part of.

Janice and her husband moved to Bend in 2003 after she retired from a career in home furnishings. “I was inspired,” says Janice, “not just by everything that Bend has to offer, but by how passionate Bend artists are about their craft.”

She took many art classes in a variety of mediums in Bend as well as from Washington to New Mexico. “I was fortunate to take an encaustic class at the Art Station in Bend in 2006 from Shana Moore, an exceptional Montana artist who defined the direction I wanted to go as an artist.”

Asked what encaustic is, Janice

Janice Rhodes Embraces Contemporary Encaustics

Janice Rhodes is one of three local artists feature at Red Chair Gallery during July

explains that the word encaustic is Greek for “to burn in.” The mixture of beeswax, damar resins and pigments is kept molten and applied to a hard, absorbent surface, and then reheated in order to fuse the layers of paint.

It is one of the most durable of all artist’s paints and perhaps the most versatile and beautiful. It can be carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, modeled, sculptured, textured and combined with oil. It cools immediately but can be reheated and reworked. After Janice finishes an encaustic, she buffs the surface with a soft cloth, but more than that, she uses the palm of her hand to bring the art piece to a high shine.

When she is asked by a gallery visitor if they can touch the raised wax texture, she replies, “Please do!”

Supportive, Artful Collaborations Working in Central Oregon

(Continued from page 3)

A place for learning and inspiration, A6 is also member-based and community-supported non-profit arts organization. However it’s unique in that it offers a view of a 21st-century, multimedia approach to contemporary printmaking and book arts, while preserving and honoring processes from centuries past. The gallery presents regular exhibits and one major educational exhibit on an artist or art form of particular artistic and/or historic significance. Exhibits are often accompanied by art talks, lectures and related workshops.

Creating and operating a gallery is a tremendous amount of work...and risk. Even a small change in the economy can impact sales. These artists have found a way to benefit from working as a team, sharing responsibilities and expenses.

From Tumalo Art Co.....the synergy of being part of a gallery collective helps each of us be more successful than we might be on our own. We believe that art has enlightening and even healing properties and providing a meaningful art experience is an important contribution to our community.

by faces. Shooting with Leica and Nikon cameras, the artist captures these encounters in portraits of power and empathy, each telling a personal story.

The viewer experiences the artist’s photographic talent in images such as the toddler in Hampi, India who as a “village bridesmaid sees her future as she watches her sister’s wedding.” Gateau took the photo on a 3,500 miles drive from Kochin to Mussoorie.

Another depicts “the late afternoon sun warming a village elder, Kesroli, India.” Emotions arise with the photo of a man “heading home from the market, a Tibetan man has seen life before the Chinese take-over of Lhasa.” Gateau broadens our awareness of the global community while sharing its arresting beauty. Central Oregon is fortunate to add his skill to their cadre of photographic talent.

Bernard Gateau’s unique photography thru September 7 at the Pronghorn Clubhouse, 65600 Pronghorn Club Dr., Bend.

Growing up in the French Alps brought Gateau his first contact with interesting faces. Using his grandmother’s folding Kodak 120 film camera, he memorialized the fast-vanishing village life of his surroundings: farmers, shepherds, peddlers, even itinerant distillers of fruit alcohols.

After moving to the U.S. and abandoning a successful career with IBM, he took to the road on a round-theworld drive during which he discovered not only skill in fixing cars, but a talent for capturing the essence of rural peoples in portraiture.

Presently, whether on the roads of Ethiopia or Tibet, China or Tajikistan, Gateau continues to be captivated

he Annual Sunriver Art Faire looks forward to its sixth year in The Village at Sunriver on August 7-9. Six Central Oregon art professionals have served as jurors to select the highest quality works from among the more than 140 artist applicants.

The Jurors have experience and expertise in a variety of art; since the categories include several art venues, it is important for the jurors to have a range of art knowledge.

The Sunriver Women’s Club is proud to acknowledge the jurors who served in the 2015 Sunriver Art Faire process.

Judy Hoiness, who holds a masters degree in art from Syracuse University, recently retired as an adjunct art faculty member from Central Oregon Community College. David Kinker, fine artist, river guide, muralist and teacher

explores his deep connection to nature and water in visual mantras.

Sarah Hansen hopes to express our connection as humans to our surroundings and each other by exploring how we can create beauty and pattern from life’s chaos and build hope in our lives. Will Nash loves sculpture, space, expanse and balance. Wood provides him with a medium that has endless possibilities and an inherent beauty he maximizes when building creative structures, cabinetry, furniture, musical instruments, and architectural details.

Dakota Mitchell experiences art and life as parallel processes. Facing a canvas elicits the same emotions she feels during the course of experiencing life.

Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Warming up for Summer

B

oth the weather and the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver are warming up a bright and happy start to summer, and you are invited to participate in the fun. Mark your calendar for Saturday, July 11, 4-7pm to stop by the gallery and enjoy food and drink with the artists. There are several featured artists that have great art to share with you.

Wood working artist Greg Cotton has many pieces of functional kitchen art for you to admire and then take with you to brighten your home. His meticulous designs and precise cuts work together to highlight the natural beauty of the exotic woods that he prefers. Whether it is a humble door stop or a complicated cutting board, each piece is a treasure.

Watercolor artist Deni Porter produces bright and colorful animal portraits that captivate the viewer. Using deeply saturated colors and adding the texture of watercolor pencil allows the artist to take license with the colors that nature intended for each of her subjects. Each painting results in a fun piece of art that represents the essence of each animal.

Bear by Deni Porter

Potter Diane Miyauchi offers beautiful and delicate raku vessels along with her ever popular pottery pieces. The raku pottery finish provides each vessel with a delicate iridescent surface. Some are lidded with wire wrapped handles adorned with beading. While you visit the gallery you may learn more about the interesting process of raku finishes.

Photographer Carolyn Waissman is well known for intimate animal portraits, but this season her work offers a new look and different theme. Her new portfolio – Hanging Out Together – includes all types of animal and human groups that share time together. From herds of elephants sipping at the “Elephant Spa,” impalas playing, cheetahs licking and human couples walking in the woods there are all kings of things that can be found together. More unusual partners are geese and goslings, bees and ladybugs with flowers, beer and wine cheers and even laundry hanging out on the line together!

MIX: Materials In The Extreme features 21 small pieces by seven artists.

MIX artists developed a series of new works examining the concept of “in the extreme.” Whether it be through use of a single theme or similar technique, the work explores material, shape or distortion and color in the extreme. To further unify the body of work, each piece is rendered at 18 inches square.

MIX is a Portland-based group of artists dedicated to the creation of fiber art. Members of this group create bodies of work for exhibit venues and display. The group meets once a month to critique, challenge and encourage one another, while exploring the design principles of their craft and other art media.

Members have used a wide range

of techniques in their art including surface design (such as dyeing, printing, painting, screen printing, embroidery) piecing and appliqué (including fusing), quilting (machine and by hand) and several others.

Painting Quilts with Ink is an exhibition of quilts made by various Oregon artists who learned the technique from Prineville author, artist and quilter, June Jaeger.

Using Tsukineko inks as paints, these five quilt artist used a favorite photograph as inspiration to create their own fabric picture. Employing techniques of texture, “dry brush” and innovative painting brings these fabric portraits and pictures to life.

Finishing and quilting the paintings enhance the quilts to become unique one-of-a-kind creations.

STRAW PROPELLER Releases Hemp N’ Oats

traw Propeller is evangelizing the way oatmeal is done by elevating a normal breakfast staple to a new level. On July 1 Straw Propeller released its latest flavor, Hemp N’ Oats, Man! The branding is brilliant tie-dyed cups and takes you back to the ‘70s. This unique flavor contains wholly rolled gluten free oats, organic honey crystals, organic molasses, hulled hemp seeds and a pinch of sea salt.

The release date of this new product coincides with the legalization of marijuana in Oregon. The release was strategically planned to create a buzz about the new product says Julie Leutschaft, VP of sales and business development.

Although it is important to note the differences between marijuana and hemp seeds. While they both come from the same plant, Cannabis Sativa, that is where the similarity ends. Hemp seeds contain a barely traceable percentage of THC (the intoxicating ingredient that makes you high).

Marijuana has about five to ten percent of THC. Hemp seeds are legal and are fairly common and can be found at most health food stores including WholeFoods and Costco.

Hemp seeds have many health benefits because they contain Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which

promote cardiovascular health and are used to balance hormone levels.

Hemp seeds are considered the “perfect protein” because they contain not only all 20 amino acids but also the nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce. They are rich in fiber and used for cleansing the colon and reducing sugar cravings. Many health conscious people have been using hemp seeds in smoothies and sprinkling them on salads and cereals for decades.

“We are excited to offer this new flavor which is part of the 19 current hot and cold cereals currently offered by Straw Propeller,” said Leutschaft.“We are always looking to create new flavors that will appeal to the natural foods and health conscious populations we serve.”

Straw Propeller Gourmet Foods manufactures artisan oatmeal and muesli breakfast cereals and is based in Redmond. www.strawpropeller.com

We all loved the pan-seared Muscovy duck breast, although the skin wasn’t crispy enough. The jumbo diver scallops could have used more of a sear as well, and the accompanying sweet pea risotto with fava beans and asparagus needed a tangy goat cheese-type flavor to take it over the top. All easy fixes.

T

he Sunriver Music Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship (YAS) program awarded $28,200 to 18 classical music students between the ages of 12 to 22 over the weekend of May 29-31. The individual scholarships ranged from $200 - $5,000.

Celebrating its 20 year anniversary, the Young Artists Scholarship program has awarded $400,300 to 127 Central Oregon music students in middle school, high school and college. To qualify for scholarships, students must reside in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook and Harney counties and they must aspire to be professional classical musicians.

“This year, out of the 18 scholarships,

four of the students were new applicants to the program,” explains Jodie Bischof, the Young Artists Scholarship program chair. “We are excited to see a growing number of Central Oregon music students studying classical music and applying for these scholarships.”

On June 14 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Sunriver, ten of the 2015 scholarship winners performed to a full house at the annual Young Artists Scholarship Concert.

The Young Artists Scholarship program began in 1996 with a handful of talented music students and a generous grant from the Sunriver Women’s Club. Today, the Women’s Club continues to support the Festival’s music education programs in addition to a growing number of individual contributors. Other grants supporting the Sunriver Music Festival’s music education programs are from the Sunriver Rotary Club and the Oregon Community Foundation.

The majority of the individual contributions to the scholarship

program occur at the Sunriver Music Festival’s annual fundraiser, Festival Faire (scheduled for August 2 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall).

“We are very fortunate to have the generous support of the Young Artists Scholarship program from our local Sunriver community,” explains Pam Beezley of the Sunriver Music Festival.

“These students continue to amaze and inspire anyone who hears them perform and many of our students have significant financial needs. This scholarship program fills a need in our community.”

Young Artists Scholarships are awarded in three categories: 1) college or music conservatory tuition, 2) private music lessons and 3) music camps.

While four of the scholarship winners were new to the program this year, a number of students continue to audition for scholarships throughout their college career.

Bischof adds, “Over the years, we’ve watched these talented young musicians grow in confidence and skill and a number of these students have been accepted into prestigious

Dana Lyons lives is a singer/ songwriter from Bellingham, Washington best known for his outrageous hit comedy songs Cows with Guns, RV and Ride The Lawn.

The Pittsburgh-based Anne Feeney performs music that she says is designed to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

“Every movement has its minstrel,” says Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. “The unions had Wood Guthrie. The peace movement had Phil Ochs. The environmental movement has Dana Lyons.”

The late Utah Phillips called Anne Feeney “the best labor singer in North America.”

Raitt and Don Henley.

Sheryl's own recording career faltered slightly, right at the outset.

She secured a recording contract with A&M, but at the last minute her proposed 1992 debut was deemed by the label to not fully represent the woman's talents and the release was cancelled after just a handful of promotional cassettes had been issued - which in turn led to the illegitimate distribution of some highly sought-after bootleg CDs. Finally released in August 1993, Sheryl's official debut album, Tuesday Night Music Club was an absolute barnstormer which sold more than six million copies in its first year of release. The album spawned two Billboard Top 5 singles in All I Wanna Do and Strong Enough.

Live versions of both songs appear on her newest recording.

Other highlights are a third single, Run Baby Run (which didn't chart

but was a radio hit in several countries), Leaving Las Vegas and the funky The Na Na Song.

The sole cover version is Led Zeppelin's idiosyncratic codreggae number D'Yer Maker, a version of which Sheryl later contributed to the Atlantic Records' Zep tribute album Encomium (1995).

John Mayall at Tower Theatre

A

s 2013 came to a close and with his 80th birthday mere weeks away, the godfather of British blues quietly entered a North Hollywood Studio with his band, special guest C.J. Chenier and coproducer/engineer Eric Corne. He walked out with one of the finest and most personal records of his career, A Special Life.

John Mayall was born on November 29, 1933 and grew up in a village not too far from Manchester, England. It was here as a teenager that he first became attracted to the jazz and blues 78s in his father’s record collection.

Initially it was all about guitarists such as Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie piano giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, his desire to play in that style was all he could think of. At the age of 14 when he went to Manchester’s Junior School of Art, he had access to a piano for the first time and he began to learn the basics of this exciting music.

He also found time to continue learning the guitar and a couple of years later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter. Presented

New Perspective for July by Eileen Lock

ommunication and action is the theme and it starts right out with a Full Moon on the 1st. Decisions are made at this time and there will be changes that ripple out all month. Conversations during the first five days are helpful and are all about change. A turning point on the 6th could leave you with questions. Words become more emotional after the 8th and it will be important to listen to your intuition as you take steps forward.

Decisions require blind faith on the 13th and the rewards will be huge when you are willing to trust. The New Moon on the 15th is a time to integrate with those around you. A change of heart on the 18th could be due to unexpected news. Stay open and realize there is a positive side to what is happening, you simply need to trust. Big decisions on the 22nd inspire communication and significantly change the situation. Listen to what is being said on the 23rd and be honest about what you hear.

Situations on the 25th could feel awkward simply because you are extra sensitive. Realize when you take a deep breath that it really is fine. Take care of projects near the 28th and let it keep your overactive mind busy. The Full Moon on the 31st will be easier when you think about yourself first. Check in and be sure you are being nice to you because you are showing other show you want to be treated. Love yourself and “they” will too.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock,Clairvoyant Astrologer, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com Listen for the song in your heart, find the melody and dance to the music.
