ew probably wouldn’t have heard about a situation unfolding at the Redmond Library recently if not for the internet, with numerous emails going back and forth from various factions with differing degrees of what really happened.

When Shandel Gamer resigned as the chair of the Friends of the Redmond Library committee, the Deschutes Public Library (DPL), which is responsible for all the libraries in the county, decided to terminate the art displays in libraries agreement with the volunteer group and reassess the library art program.

Shandel has yet to give a specific reason why she resigned as the chair.

At that point, it was an opportunity for the Friends group to take the high road and continue to support the library or take the Bridesmaids approach and wreak havoc on the program.

When Shandel resigned as the art director, Todd Dunkelberg, DPL director, indicated it was time to reassess the agreement with the Friends, but did not terminate the art exhibits now or in the future.

In fact, the August exhibit includes a fabulous photo essay by Jim Erickson that captures the journey of two American Bald Eagles at Smith Rock, along with other local photographers and acrylic painter’s work. Linda Barker, the manager

of the Redmond library, is currently handling the art program.

Shandel was gracious enough and

certainly showed her passion for the Friends Art Committee, in thanking local artists for participating in the art exhibitions and, “trusting us with your artwork and for allowing us to sell your art to benefit our nonprofit organization.”

It’s possible that Shandel was confused about the intent, but didn’t take the termination agreement lightly. She subsequently decided to get the Friends board members to stage a coup of sorts, by planning to donate most of the funds in the Friends account to local charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, Opportunity Foundation and the Brightside Animal Shelter.

The problem with that tantrum is that it’s very clear in the agreement that funds raised are to directly benefit the library, which makes sense. Why would you have a Friends of the Library group raising money under the umbrella of the library and then giving the money away to other nonprofits?

Sadly, at the end of the day, a law firm had to get involved stating that legally the Friends could not

August 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

donate funds to other nonprofits and that in doing so could make the board members personally liable.

At this point, the Redmond Friends are reassessing their point of view.

Despite these challenges, the good news is that all of the Deschutes Public libraries are successful community centers throughout the county offering maker spaces, digital labs and art galleries where people can view the work of professional and amateur artists creating a variety of mediums.

These public institutions are often used by artists as incubators for their work, whether that means researching, creating or displaying their art.

The Downtown Bend Library’s OLD MILL DISTRICT summer art exhibit focuses on My 541.389.6655 Oregon. A variety of local artists working in acrylic, watercolor, oil MILL DISTRICT and photography OLD have contributed 541.389.6655 art for the show, which provides different perspectives on what it means to live in Oregon. In turn, the Sunriver Library displays the work of fused glass artist Jane Morrow and watercolorist Liz Haberman. OLD MILL DISTRICT 541.389.6655 This summer, the public will find art on the walls of many Deschutes OLD MILL DISTRICT Public Library branches, and I 541.389.6655 encourage you to take an opportunity and stop in for a visit. When was the OLD MILL DISTRICT 541.389.6655 last time you visited your local library and explored the modern day library?

Nature Inspired Abstractions

Lisa Copenhagen Wachs unveils Nature Inspired Abstractions in a new exhibit presented by Signature D Art Consulting at Elizabeth Lofts in Portland. An opening reception is set for Thursday, August 6, 6-9pm.

Copenhagen Wachs has worked as an art director and fine artist in Portland, San Francisco, California and Taos, New Mexico before settling

in Central Oregon in 1992. She has been a fixture on the Central Oregon art scene for over 20 years and paints primarily in oils. She also works in mixed media collage/assemblage. While living in Taos, she enjoyed sketching and painting on location and attended a sketch group comprised of nationally known Southwest artists.

“I explore primarily nature and landscape as subject matter through paint medium. Whether it is a glimpse out of the corner of my eye while driving or hiking, or taking photos as a basis for future work, I am intrigued with the inherent mystery and abstractness of nature and landscape. It’s where we live.”

Copenhagen Wachs continues to work in her Tumalo studio.

adly, the Sunriver STARS Community Theater family lost one of their most active and talented members recently. Jerry Inman passed away in Bend on July 1 after battling an extended illness.

Jerry and his wife, Susan, were two of the founding members of the STARS theatre group, and performed in almost all of the 12 shows the STARS have produced. In addition to his on-stage contributions, Jerry served on the board as the director of publicity.

Jerry was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and graduated from Stanford University in 1956 with a bachelors degree in international relations. He later graduated from the National War College and earned a masters degree in international affairs from George Washington University.

Jerry served a 34 year career as a foreign diplomat, both in public and private service. His duty assignments included Washington D.C., the Philippians, Korea, Venezuela, Mexico and three separate appointments in Japan. While serving in these locations, Jerry became fluent in both the

Local Artists Selected for Storm Drain Painting in Bend The City of Bend and its Arts Beautification and Culture Commission have selected three local artists who have volunteered to paint around four different storm drains as part of the City’s Clean Water Works campaign. The storm drain painting pilot project aims to use art to increase awareness about the connection between street storm drains, the Deschutes River and more.

The artists are David Kinker (Two storm drains: the corner of Pageant Park near the footbridge over the Deschutes River and along Harmon Boulevard, next to the ballfields),

Spanish and Japanese languages.

“Jerry was one of those people who everyone loved,” said STARS founder Victoria Kristy.“He was always so kind, so pleasant and so dependable. Even in times of chaos, Jerry was just always there to bring things back to calm and order. If it weren’t for Jerry and Susan, the STARS would not be anywhere near where we are today.”

Jerry was many things to many people. He was a devoted husband to Susan for over 60 years. He was dad to Todd, Eric, Martitia (Tish) and Chris.

And to those at STARS, he was their colleague, friend and a valued member of their family.

Jerry was recently cast to act in the STARS most recent production, Wild, Wild, Wildest West.

Unfortunately soon after rehearsals started, he had to drop out due to his illness.

In addition to his contributions to STARS, Jerry actively served on the Sunriver Music Festival Board. Jerry and Susan have also been long time, generous supporters of numerous other cultural activities and organizations.

encore Nick Maithonis (storm drain on Tumalo Avenue at the southern edge of Drake Park) and Lisa Marie Sipe (storm drain at Galveston Avenue and Columbia Streets).

Expect to see these artists working in these areas during the first week of August.

The storm drain painting project is happening in conjunction with Stream Stewardship Day on Saturday, August 8. Stream Stewardship Day is based at Riverbend Park, but cleanup efforts will also extend to the Pageant, Harmon and Drake Parks.

The City’s Clean Water Works campaign provides information about how to keep water clean, including the Deschutes River and our drinking water. www.bendoregon.gov/cleanwaterworks Wendy Edde 541-317-3018 wedde@bendoregon.gov.

Library Walls Become Art Galleries in Deschutes Public Library Branches

P

ublic libraries long ago expanded their offerings beyond books. They are now community centers, maker spaces, digital labs and more— including art galleries. These public institutions are often used by artists as incubators for their work, whether that means researching, creating or displaying their art. At Deschutes Public Library, public wall space is turned into public galleries where people can view the work of professional and amateur artists who work in a variety of mediums.

“The Deschutes Public Library system has a long tradition of collaborating with local artists and regional arts organizations,” says Library Director Todd Dunkelberg. “Deschutes County is rich with talented people who continually share their art with their communities in the Library setting,” he says, “and these rotating collections offer the public a way to experience and explore the work of their local artists.”

This summer the public will find

art on the walls of many Deschutes Public Library branches.

The Downtown Bend Library’s summer art exhibit focuses on My Oregon. A variety of local artists working in acrylic, watercolor, oil and photography have contributed art for the show, which runs through the end of August and provides different perspectives on what it means to live in Oregon.

From September through the end of November, the theme is Angles and Curves. An open call is out to artists for contributions.

Just in time for the popular annual Sisters Quilt Show, the Sisters Library features In the Extreme, quilts by the MIX (Material In Xtreme) Group from Portland.

MIX artists developed a series of new works examining the “extreme” concept of using just a single theme or technique. Each piece is rendered at 18-inches square. The MIX display runs through August.

Now through August, the Redmond Library is featuring the work of talented local artists: Jim Erickson, photography: A

photo essay Nest to Fledge, which chronicles the journey of two American Bald Eagles at Smith Rock.

Redmond Proficiency Academy, photography: Black and white photographs by Redmond Proficiency artists created in a photography class taught by Ethan Stelzer.

Painting by Summer and Sydney Lisignoli

Summer and Sydney Lisignoli, acrylic painting: The Lisignoli twins were raised on a farm in Terrebonne, where they fostered a love of animals that shows up in their whimsical and colorful paintings.

Wendy Beth Oliver, photography: Oliver is a world traveler who shares her experiences as captured through the lens of her camera.

Literary Word In September, the Redmond Library art exhibit will feature the work of painter Judd Wagner, three-dimensional artist Eric Filippino, pastel painter Linda McGill, fiber artist Grace Grinnell and sculptor JD Grinnell.

The Sunriver Library, situated in an area that is ripe with artistic talent, displays the work of artists Jane Morrow and Liz Haberman.

Morrow works in fused glass, while Haberman works in watercolor.

A new collection of art will be featured in September.

“The public library stands as an enduring monument to the values of cooperation and sharing,” wrote Davis Morris in his Public Library Manifesto, published in Yes! Magazine (May 2011). “In an age where global corporations stride the earth, public libraries remains firmly rooted in local communities,” he continued.

Dunkelberg believes art on display throughout the Deschutes Public Library system enriches this commitment to our local communities..

A Better Man by Rick Steber

T

he true story of one man’s incredible journey is the center of the newest book

by Prineville author, Rick Steber.

Dave Franke might have been content to lead the life of a simple cowboy. But he believed in the American Dream and he burned with ambition to make his mark in the world. He parlayed building a single house into riding the crest of a building boom in Central Oregon. He owned and operated one of the largest construction companies in the state and his childhood bride, Peggy, was with him every step of the way. It was the two of them against the world.

When the Great Recession hit, and interest rates topped 24 percent, they lost everything they had worked so hard to accumulate. Peggy concentrated on raising their four daughters, Dave turned to the bottle. Alcohol became his demon, and that demon ruled his life until one day, out on the broad sweep of the desert, God and Satan had a fist fight

11

August 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

over his alcoholic soul.

Dave, in a moment of divine intervention, was forced to confront his demon. The battle of opposing forces raged until Dave was about to lose the one thing he valued most, Peggy’s love was forced to make the choice to turn his life around. This is a powerful story of profit and loss, of weakness and of strength, a story of failure, and deliverance, and redemption.

Popular award-winning author, Rick Steber, has more than 40 titles under his belt and sales of over a million books. Rick is the only Oregon author to have won the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award – Best Western Novel. He is a keen observer of the changing American West and he articulates these changes in the prose that are boldly descriptive, invigorating and creative. www.rickstever.com

Avenue Q Paves the Way for Laughs at the Tower

s part of its Marquee Series, sponsored by Bend Broadband and showcasing local actors, dancers and musicians, the Tower Theatre Foundation premieres the Tony Award-winning hit musical Avenue Q at the downtown Bend venue for six performances, September 11-19.

Avenue Q is produced by Stage Right Productions, the nonprofit that operates 2nd Street Theater and who brought Monty Python’s Spamalot to the Tower in 2013.

Avenue Q was conceived and written

by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx.

Lopez was also the composer for The Book of Mormon.

Winner of the Tony Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is an adult and politically incorrect comingof-age story performed by puppets, animated by unconcealed puppeteers, alongside human actors.

Set in New York City all the way out on rundown Avenue Q, a recent college graduate named Princeton struggles with his purpose in life: finding love, losing love and finding it again.

“Avenue Q creates a puppet-filled world that is more reflective of the difficult, R-rated realities we face when we learn that real life isn’t as simple as we imagined,” said Sandy Klein, producer and managing director of Stage Right Productions.

“But, as we learn from the residents of Avenue Q, life is all the more colorful and worthwhile for it.”

WARNING: Despite featuring puppets, Avenue Q is R-rated featuring adult topics, offensive language and an onstage portrayal of puppet sex, all done in good humor.

Avenue Q is directed by Karen Sipes with musical direction from Karen Sipes, Ben Larson and Tyler Cranor.

“We have gathered a terrific team of local talent including local puppet master Dave Felton, who plays Trekkie Monster, plus some of Central Oregon’s finest actors and singers,” added Klein. “We are thrilled to have been asked to bring such a different and challenging show to Bend and the Tower Theatre. These characters will definitely misbehave their way right into your hearts!”

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.

Artists get inspired for Art of the West Exhibit and High Desert Rendezvous “As an artist it is an honor to help support the High Desert Museum, which provides an exciting and educational environment for all who venture there in search of a connection to, and understanding of the natural world.”

“Having grown up in a family that raised crops and cattle in Oregon’s high desert, for me this image of the fellow moving a gate from one corral to another is iconic. I am pleased that this artwork can offer a glimpse to others about this way of life while supporting the High Desert Museum’s mission.” -Vicki Shuck, Art of the West Artist

The High Desert Rendezvous

by TORI YOUNGBAUER, Cascade A&E Feature Writer

T

he High Desert Museum reports that more than 35 artists and over 60 submissions have been selected for the annual Art of the West show, a fundraising event featuring fine art depictions of the western region of the U.S. by contemporary artists.

From iconic landscapes and handsome cowboys, to Native American baskets and gorgeous abstractions, there is bound to be something for everyone.

The selected work will be on display and available as part of a silent auction for one month at the Museum. Swing by the Museum to bid on your favorite piece or buy it outright, before someone else does! The exhibition and auction end on August 29 at the

14

Museum’s annual fundraising gala, the High Desert Rendezvous. All of the proceeds support the Museum’s education programs.

Preparation for the High Desert Rendezvous this year has been the busiest yet. The Rendezvous over the past three or four years has grown exponentially, which has allowed it to gain recognition as a high caliber art show.

“We strive to provide a variety of artwork and mediums that not only appeal to art collectors, but to art enthusiasts and visitors,” says Executive Director Dana Whitelaw. The goal is simple: to capture the spirit of the West by local and regional artists and engage in a festive celebration of the museum itself.

Another exciting aspect to this year’s High Desert Rendezvous is

August 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

expansion within the western art genre. “There is so much more to western art than the typical depictions.

There is movement in the genre that includes contemporary and even abstract representations of the west,” Whitelaw adds. Therefore, there is a broad range of mediums including oils, pastels, watercolors, sculpture, photography and mixed media. There are some High Desert Rendezvous veterans who have returned from previous years, as well as new artists to diversify the collection. Curator Faith Powell is particularly excited about the inclusion of two Native American artists this year who bring a fresh perspective to the exhibit.

The Rendezvous is guaranteed to have exceptional pieces for art lovers to appreciate, fall in love with and buy for a wonderful cause.

High Desert Rendezvous Enjoy hosted drinks, appetizers, gambling and games, as well as a silent auction at the annual High Desert Rendezvous fundraising event. Last year’s event helped the Museum raise $300,000 for its nationally recognized educational programs. Help make the 2015 event a huge success! Saturday, August 29 5-9pm Non-member tickets are $350 per couple (two tickets) and $200 single ticket per person. Member tickets are $150 per person and $300 per couple. Sponsorship starts at $2,000.

Artist Barbara Slater’s Fascination with High Desert Museum

by TORI YOUNGBAUER, Cascade A&E Feature Writer

A

s long as the Art of the West and High Desert Rendezvous have existed, cover artist Barbara Slater has contributed her paintings. She reflects upon one of her first visits to The High Desert Museum (HDM) and remembers how she fell in love with the animals there. “There is something about the way the animals are handled at the museum.

How they are cared for has always drawn me in,” says Slater.

Her involvement with the Museum runs deep;from visiting the one legged owl named Clicker and learning about birds of prey to face painting at the annual Halloween event. It is clear that there has been a long-standing connection between the talented artist and the Museum.

It was this fascination that originally led Slater to donate her work when the Art of the West exhibit first began. She explains that she doesn’t just take pieces from her collection to give to the event, but instead, she paints pieces that are specifically for the exhibit.

Still fascinated by the creatures around her, Slater’s paintings for Art of the West illustrate animals that people are drawn to including dogs, horses, sheep, chickens and, of course, cows. She uses portrait style, rather than pastoral scenes, to convey expressive emotions radiating from the animal subjects of her work.

When speaking about this year’s painting, Range Manager, Slater mentions that she has a companion piece featuring the same color scheme and white park cow. “They

have such a symbolic appearance and watching them just graze gives me a peaceful feeling,” she explains.

Anyone who is familiar with Barbara’s work knows the exceptional beauty she is able to portray through the animals she depicts.

Slater was particularly excited for the opening of the Art of the West Exhibit, which took place on July 30. The event featured music, food, and some of the artists, giving them an opportunity to speak to the public about their work. The exhibit continues until the night of the High Desert Rendezvous which takes place August 29.

Red Chair Celebrating Five Years & Counting...

W

hat started in the not so great recession of the 21st century and has survived and thrived for the past five years? The Red Chair Gallery in downtown Bend.

In early 2010 a group of local artists felt there was a missing piece in the local art scene and after months of hard work, the Red Chair, a membership style gallery, was born.

Located at the busy corner of Bond and Oregon Streets, the Red Chair Gallery is an example of perseverance, determination and the shared efforts of the over 30 members and partners that keep it going.

Today, it is a must see for anyone visiting the area and a favorite stop for locals. Each month, First Friday welcomes the latest works of up to three rotating gallery artists by providing them a larger than normal

16

space offering them greater exposure throughout the month.

Along with the ever changing featured artists, the group keeps things fresh by rotating artist placement, putting up new works on a regular basis and occasionally bringing in new artists.

Anniversary Special for our customers!

The four partners that make up the ownership group of the gallery include Linda Heisserman, membership director; Rita Dunlavy, finance director; Lise Hoffman-McCabe, marketing director and Dee McBrien-Lee, gallery director. Each of the partners will be raffling off a work of art, one item per week in August for anyone spending $100 or more in a single purchase.

Items include porcelain pottery, kiln fused glass, pastel and oil

paintings. Additionally, two of the partner owners will be featured artists in August: Heisserman and her lovely porcelain ceramics and McBrienLee’s imaginative acrylic abstracts. Rounding out the show will be Julia Kennedy’s beautifully crafted bead work jewelry.

So drop in for First Friday or any day in August and see what is new, enter the raffle or just visit with friends.The Red Chair Gallery is a real Bend original.

three artists influenced by Western and Native American culture.Meet the artists and listen to the jazz tones of Rich Hurdle and Friends.

DeMott, an outdoors man and storyteller of the American west, depicts the American West during the 1850’s to the turn of the century. His style, which he calls historic realism combines impressionism and realism and includes wildlife, northern Plains Indians and landscapes of the frontier. John’s work is recognized as one of the top American Western oil painters of our time.

Danielle is a western still life artist from Arizona who has great knowledge of Native American culture. Her detailed acrylic paintings of baskets and pottery are rich in design, dramatic light and have a luminescence all their own.

Boomer’s sculpture utilizes weathered Manzanita wood found near his California home. He sculpts the faces, hands and postures of Native American women and children, revealing their lifelike personalities. They are his favorite subjects.

Art at the Oxford

Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-382-8436 Visions of Hope offers artwork by inmates of Oregon correctional institutions for sale to benefit Ugandan orphans of OtinoWaa Children’s Village. Open during the preceding week, the exhibit begins August 3 and continues through First Friday.

Founded in 2003 by Carol and Bob Higgins of Bend, Otino-Waa Children’s Village now supports some 280 orphan children. At the village, the children live and attend primary, secondary and vocational school, with some graduates continuing with higher education or skilled work in the community.

In 2008, Dale and Sandy Russel long-time contributors to Otino-Waa, working with Snake River Correctional Institution inmates and their art, recognized the possibility of interacting with other correctional institutions throughout Oregon to benefit the inmates and the children. Under the leadership of the Russels, Visions of Hope (VOH) was born and is now an independent 501c3, with its own mission/ vision and governing board of directors.

In its seventh year, the organization sells paintings, drawings, jewelry, quilts, wood-working and, other art forms voluntarily created by inmates of Snake River, Warner Creek and Coffee Creek Correctional Institutions as a fund raiser for the village children. Visions of Hope invites the community to First Friday at the Oxford to learn more about this exceptional organization that embraces the unique task of joining orphans and inmates with the world.

Red Chair Gallery

Townshend’s Bend Teahouse

103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com 5 Years and Counting in celebration of their 5th year anniversary featuring three local artists. Abstract artist Dee McBrien-Lee continues to push the boundaries of her imagination. Her recent work features acrylic and mixed media in both nonrepresentational and recognizable abstract paintings. She paints with an idea that evolves as each layer of her chosen medium is added. Sometimes the plan is very deliberate and at other times the creative process becomes its own journey.

Each piece is filled with bold colors, shapes, and a sense of place and is a celebration of art for art’s sake.

Inspiration strikes Linda Heisserman in many ways: when she goes to the aquarium with her son and watches the jelly fish, when her bunny takes one bite out of many bowls or when she pays attention to the natural world around her. She claims that her drawing abilities are poor and look like chicken scratches, but that when she carves with razor blades and dental goods they become three dimensional and alive. She likes to blend her sculptural carving with her functional pieces so each piece is both useful and unique.

Julia Kennedy makes jewelry to exercise her mind. It requires an eye for color and balance, as well as precision and the ability to focus on a project for long periods. Yet, Julia says it is also meditative because of the repetition of hand movements and the tactile sensations of the raw materials.

Come celebrate Red Chair Galley’s 5th anniversary on First Friday and have a cupcake on us. All month long we will have drawings for prizes of locally made art, come by the gallery and get the details!

Sage Custom Framing and Gallery

834 NW Brooks Street, 541-382-5884 www.sageframing-gallery.com Featured artist Shelly Wierzba balances her painting activities between her Bend studio and outside in our high desert landscape. She is currently working in oils, but is not opposed to using other media to achieve a desired outcome.

She describes her painting style as realistic to expressionistic impressionism.

“I feel so blessed to have good health, energy and time to be able to observe and create. There is a sense of peace and pure joy when I’m in my studio or out in nature painting. I want my paintings to touch the hearts of the viewers, and hope to make them feel the emotions that filled me when I looked at the scene. For me, art is the chance God has given us to understand the greatness of nature and how wondrous humans are. Through art

835 NW Bond St., Carrissa Glenn, 503.803.4024 Featuring Tim Jones of Imagination Jones. Tim spent his childhood roaming the green forests of New Hampshire, developing a wanderlust and passion for epic adventures amongst the trees. He radiated imagination from an early age, inhabiting superpowers, battling goblins and raiding castles with such beautiful ease. After hours of building forts and climbing trees, he looked to drawing to express the characters, monsters and environments that inhabited his mind. It was this creative outlet that sparked his passion for art. The realm of fantasy motivated him most, and he became an expert on grey wizards, hobbits, elves and trolls, finding such comfort and inspiration in J.R.R. Tolkien’s words.

Today Tim resides in Bend where you can find him lost in imagination amongst the trees, sketchbook in hand, still taking solace in the words of Tolkien, “Not all who wander are lost.” www.ImaginationJones.com The Wine Shop

Old Mill District. www.tumaloartco.com 541-385-9144 Mixed media painter Shelli Walters offers a metaphorical peek into her inner sanctuary in her show,A Wolf ’s Garden. Dappled with dreams, muses, messengers and guardians, these ideas are expressed through a commingle of paint, typography, graphics,pattern, sketch and texture.

A graphic designer for 20+ years, Shelli finds it cathartic to tear up discarded graphic materials and give them new life in her paintings. She is drawn to bold color as a way to convey the urgency and power of living life in the moment. Layers upon layers of paint and collage add depth and texture inviting the viewer to look closer, observe and connect.

805 Wall St. cambria_eb@yahoo.com Featuring Cambria Bittinger who has lived in Bend for six years, just graduated from COCC with an associates in art and working at a local brewery. She took her first watercolor class in 2006 while attending Portland Community College.

“I quickly grew very fond of this medium and continue to create primarily with watercolor,” she says. “I find inspiration in nature, whether it’s shape, color or pattern from the environment I live and play in. I take these natural elements and recompose the shapes, colors, and textures into abstract backgrounds for the majority of my pieces.”

Making A Mark, 6 Artists, 6 Mediums, 1 Weekend

D

uring the three days of the Art in the High Desert festival in the Old Mill District, the Lubbesmeyer Studio and Gallery is being transformed into an intimate indoor art show.

The Lubbesmeyers are introducing this inaugural fine art show entitled Making A Mark to showcase the work of prestigious, nationally collected artists who are new to Central Oregon’s art community.

This special three-day show and sale has something for everyone.

Each of the artists works in a different medium and makes their mark in a unique way. Making A Mark brings together a variety of contemporary art available from painter JM Brodrick, mixed media artist Maeve Grogan, metal artist McKenzie Mendel, wood sculptor Chloe Raymond, acrylic and encaustic painter Lisa Marie Sipe and fiber artists Lisa and Lori Lubbesmeyer.

“We have incredibly positive experiences because of the exposure we get from being in our studio. We want to provide artists access to some

of the same opportunities we’ve had.

We chose the weekend of Art in the High Desert because it’s the perfect weekend to share these talented artists with an informed and enthusiastic audience,” said Lori Lubbesmeyer.

“In addition to providing the viewer a chance to collect an inspired piece of art, our hope is these artists will help further the conversation about art, the impact art has on a community and, conversely, how the community impacts the artist,” suggests Lisa Lubbesmeyer.

Along with their impressive list of exhibitions with museums and galleries, the artists are also recognized for their skilled approach to their media.

JM Brodrick, who will be featured in September’s issue of Southwest Art Magazine, masterfully plays with light in her figurative and representational acrylic paintings.

Maeve Grogan uses a variety of media to create ethereal, cognitive abstract paintings inspired by the cosmos.

McKenzie Mendel works in precious metals that are hammered,

sculpted, etched and often finished with keum-boo, a Korean technique which fuses thin layers of gold to the surface of the piece.

Chloe Raymond has a deft hand at the time consuming art of modern woodcarving, creating wall and floor sculptures with abstract geometric shapes.

Lisa Marie Sipe takes her photographs of forest fires and flowers, dips them in wax and sculpts them to create three-dimensional wall work that looks like sculpted, smooth fabric. Sipe also sets natural found objects into a bed of encaustic wax, creating vibrant wall sculptures.

Hosts, Lisa and Lori Lubbesmeyer, paint using layers of stitched fabric to create bold landscapes, portraits and still-lifes.

During the weekend of August 28 the Old Mill District becomes the place to see the largest variety of art in Central Oregon. Collect the work of local and national

Painted Tales of Man vs. Nature

M

ary Medrano, during the past six months, created a series of 30 mixed-media paintings depicting tales of man vs. nature. Entitled Feathered Tales, the series employs symbology to depict this conflict in that a solitary bird representing nature appears in most images and a variety of materials as well as shapes depict litter and pollution.

The vibrant palette of the series, the predominant and often embellished bird images and the overall beauty of the work represents hope.

Medrano’s Feathered Tales, her first solo exhibition in Central Oregon, now shows in the Rotunda Gallery in the Barber Library on the COCC campus. The community is invited to attend a reception honoring the artist on August 5 from 5pm–7pm in the Rotunda Gallery. The exhibition continues through August 17.

The artist, a bachelor of arts graduate of Western Michigan University with certification in graphic design and visual communications from UC Santa Cruz, is an award-winning artist now living in Bend.

She began her painting career in 2002 and subsequently her art appeared in numerous shows in the United States including the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California. In 2007, jurors (art critics and historians) selected her work for exhibition in the Florence Biennale in Italy.

Medrano receives recognition for her pet portrait commissions as well as figurative works and portraits on canvas.

The seats are created out of recycled wood and the hat/coat hooks are often antique door knobs.

Willis discovered beads over 20 years ago and clay a few years later. She often combines elements like clay with wood or metal. Cathy tries to utilize items from nature such as stamps made from seed pods in her work. Images of animals and birds are often found in both her pottery and jewelry.

the community as a whole.

The Faire showcases 60+ artists displaying and selling their fine arts and crafts. The work is juried from artist applications, the majority from Oregon and Washington. The medium for the art will include ceramics, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, woodworking and mixed media.

This year it looks like there will be a significant number of new artists who are interested in showing at the Faire.

In addition to the juried art, there will be live professional entertainment all three days, an art center for young artists to try out their skills and food for purchase in the Village. Last year 200 children

left the Faire with handmade art.

Special events will include the everpopular Saturday night street dance in the Village, 7-9:30pm featuring the Klassixs Ayre Band.

Over the last four years, the SRWC (a nonprofit corporation established in 1974) has distributed over $150,000 to nonprofit community agencies that meet the basic needs (i.e., shelter, health, food, clothing and education) of families and children residing in the Three Rivers and South Deschutes County area.

SUNRIVER RESORT LODGE BETTY GRAY GALLERY Rhythm In Vision – High Desert Art League

T

he Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents Rhythm in Vision, an exhibition of artworks by ten members of the High Desert Art League (HDAL) of Central Oregon opening on August 9. Participating artists Cindy Briggs, Helen Brown, Patricia Clark, Cameron Kaseberg, David Kinker, Jacqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller – will be present at a reception in their honor on Friday, August 14, 5–7 pm in the upper gallery.

HDAL is a professional artists’ group organized to support the advancement of member artists. The league, a cooperative business for participants, promotes their artwork through exhibitions as well as offering interactive education.

League members are accomplished artists working in a wide variety of mediums as exemplified in the Sunriver Lodge exhibition. Briggs presents sun-drenched, color saturated scenes in water-media materials reflecting her journeys to Europe, Asia and Australia.

Brown’s vibrant watercolors reveal her interest in unusual perspective, dramatic light and the texture of her chosen papers. Clark, founder of Atelier 6000 and a nationally respected master printmaker, interprets the local landscape in striking abstract images.

Kaseberg exhibits art rich in texture and storytelling using a solvent transfer process on his photographic imagery.

Kinker’s intense study of aesthetics in nature guides the creation of his colorful, abstract acrylic paintings.

Newbold’s travels lend a limitless source of imagery for her watercolors capturing moments in time.

Olsen shows wildlife paintings in watercolor and other mediums that characterize an animals’ behaviors

Two Emerging Artists Exhibit at Sunriver Library

W

atercolor and fused glass are in full spectrum at the Sunriver Library during August.

The two artists, Liz Haberman and Jane Morrow, have spent most of their lives working outside of the art world, but have activated their creative side with remarkable success.

Haberman’s watercolors are delightful, colorful and sometimes whimsical chapters in a story interpreted by the viewer. An abandoned bridal veil, a flying truck or a serpent exploring terra cotta pottery are examples of her intriguing subject matter.

Haberman worked as a recreation therapist and later as an interior designer in West Los Angeles before coming to Oregon and settling at Crosswater with her husband Paul.

She was a potter and took classes in jewelry making at UCLA. More recently she has studied watercolor painting with Helen Brown, Judy Morris and Myrna Wacknov. Her work has been juried into the Roberts Field art shows and the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s biyearly exhibits. She is a member of

the Watercolor Society of Oregon.

Morrow’s fused glass designs are reminiscent of quilting patterns with geometric shapes and pleasing color combinations.

Morrow is a professor of nursing at Central Oregon Community College and until recently, never ventured into the arts. Attracted by the beauty of fused glass, she took her initial steps into glass fusing by taking classes

offered through COCC Community Education taught by Kate MacLeod.

Living in Bend and influenced by the ever-growing quilting culture, she also began dabbling in fabric art. Jane found a way to combine the two passions by fusing glass into traditional quilt block designs. Her fused glass is displayed at BJ’s Quilt Basket in Bend.

The show runs through August 29.

Month Long Celebration at Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver

T

he month of August is just one big celebration at the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver. This celebration of art will culminate on Saturday, August 8, when everyone is invited to party with the artists between 4 and 7pm at the gallery. Food and spirits are provided.

The work of four of the gallery’s most popular artists will be featured.

Marjorie Coissairt, already well known for her beautiful and ethereal paintings of nature, provides new pieces to capture the hearts of her devoted collectors. One painting, Summer’s Light, is a delicate forest

scene in greens, lavenders and blues. A transparent butterfly poses on Queen Anne’s Lace. Those who already have a Coissairt piece displayed at home will be pleased to find that the artist has added small inspirational clay plaques to her repertoire.

Karla Proud, ever popular for her beautiful Oregon Sunstone jewelry, has placed the spotlight on another beautiful Oregon stone – the rare Owyhee Blue Opal. The opals are mined on private property near the Owyhee River in Southeast Oregon.

The stones are actually translucent when held up to the light. The clean lines of her sterling silver jewelry setting designs really serve to

highlight the beauty of the pure blue colored stone.

Bonnie Junell is well known locally not only for her beautiful oil paintings, but also for her fun and popular Sip and Paint classes at the gallery. Bonnie’s paintings of red poppies, real eye catchers, are going to have some competition from some new pieces added to her collection.

One piece features the blues, greens and lavenders of a lily pond. A single pink flower lifts its head above the lily pads to catch the viewer’s attention.

Stella Rose Powell produces fine handcrafted jewelry for the

gallery. Each of her forged, hand wrought metal pieces is uniquely beautiful. The delicate jewelry pieces contrast the beauty of her gold and silver materials. Many pieces have precious stones or pearls highlighting the 18-24 karat gold. Other pieces utilize a Korean technique called kuem-boo.

ascade Street Distillery, a tasting room and bottle shop in downtown Sisters, has joined the ranks of regional creators of fine vodka, gin and bourbon, all prepared in small batches.

Owners Nick Beasley and his sister Katie started the company in 2014 deciding to open a retail outlet to get people absorbed in their line and the whole micro-distillery craze.

“The first task was getting the bourbon started, since it typically takes at least two years to age,” said Katie. “We purchased oak barrels from Kentucky and so far the bourbon has been gently aging for nine months.

To be a true bourbon, barrels need to originate from that specific area. The next step was creating our smooth North Sister Vodka, released in April.

The final addition to the roster will be a South Sister Gin in August.”

Local artist Dan Rickards of Clearwater Gallery painted the art for Cascade’s distinctive bottle labels, creating a tableau of the Three Sisters Peaks when gathered together in a gift box or displayed on a bar shelf.

“We’re really excited to be here in Sisters, where we can reach out to residents and visitors to share our product and educate them on the exacting processes we use in production, said Katie.“Our premium North Sister Vodka and Broken Top Bourbon are kept pure an without any additional flavoring. The South Sister Gin is made with a large amount of fresh botanicals from the High Desert and hand-picked Ponderosa pine pods that give it a sweet, refreshing taste.”

The Beasley’s expansion plans include the purchase of the old Barclay horse barn across from the Sisters Eagle Airport, to be restored and transformed into the production facility. They

intend to refill the lake and plant crops of botanicals in the adjacent nine acres.

Construction is set to start sometime at the end of this summer.

“We feature all of Dan Rickard’s artwork and our newest Cascade brand of spirits. It all started with a painting of his called Cascade Skyline my parents bought years ago that was split up in three for our vodka, gin and bourbon,” explained Katie.

A tempting variety of specialty cocktails like a Central Oregon Bloody Mary, Twisted Lemonade with marionberry or raspberry vodka, and fresh-squeezed Greyhounds and Screwdrivers are available at the bar or tableside in addition to an individual flight menu. Their tasting room is stocked with a selection of Wild Roots fruit-infused vodkas imbued with flavors like marionberry, raspberry and apple-cinnamon.

North Sisters Vodka is already featured in fine restaurants and hip watering holes across Central Oregon

and the Portland area. Their ultimate goal is to be recognized by a wider range of consumers and picked up by some national distributors.

n September 2014 Oregon artists Tom Prochaska and Christy Wyckoff set out to follow in the footsteps of artist Charles Heaney (1897-1981), who was a significant mid-20th century Oregon artist known for his paintings and prints inspired by the landscape and settlements of Central, Eastern and Southern Oregon as well as Nevada.

During August Art Adventure Gallery in Madras will feature an exhibit of approximately 30 drawings created by the artists during their recent road trip as they traveled and camped at various places identified in Heaney’s work. The exhibition includes comparative works by Heaney, drawn from the permanent collection of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. “Although Heaney was on our minds as we worked at sites connected to him,” Wyckoff explains, “we primarily responded in our individual ways to the landscape in front of us rather than making ‘art about art.’”

This exhibition has been organized

by Professor Emeritus of Art History and Senior Faculty Curator, Roger Hull, and will be traveling from the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to Art Adventure Gallery. Financial support for the exhibition has been provided by grants from the City of Salem’s Transient Occupancy Tax funds, the Oregon Arts Commission and a Career Opportunity Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission.

Prochaska is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor who earned his master

of fine arts degree at the Pratt Institute and taught at the Pacific Northwest College of Art from 1988 until his retirement in 2013.

He has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad.

Wyckoff earned his master of fine arts degree at the University of Washington and taught for 33 years at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, retiring in 2012.

A printmaker, he has exhibited widely and was represented in the Tacoma Art Museum’s 2014 survey Ink This! Contemporary Prints in the Northwest. He is the recent recipient of a Career Opportunity Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission in support of a number of projects including his involvement in In the Footsteps of Charles Heaney.

An opening reception is set for Thursday, August 6 from 5:30-7pm.

Cobalt Aims for Something New

Dining

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop & Oregon Local Getaways

T

ired of the same old thing when you head out for drinks or dinner? Then Cobalt may just be your answer.

For starters, the restaurant is serious about its cocktails, with Mike Fleury from San Francisco craft cocktail powerhouse Alembic curating the drink menu. Naturally, that’s where my friends and I started, allowing Scott Cook, brother of owner Justin Cook (think Kanpai and Dojo, the restaurant that was in the same spot before it turned into Cobalt) to choose for us.

The round he brought us included a Berry Dogmatic—gin (or vodka) mixed with a berry concoction soaked in red wine vinegar for ten days and then lightly macerated with rosemary, and topped with absinthe spray, a Six-Toed Cat (aged rum,

Sweet Vermouth, lime, homemade grenadine and mole bitters) and what is billed as the best margarita in Bend.

Yup. The cocktails work.

Cobalt’s menu focuses on small plates and so did we.

We started with chicken oysters, fried tender morsels of chicken served in a serrano pepper sauce and deemed frickin’ fabulous by my outof-town friend.

That round also included fried Brussel sprouts served al dente with an ancho chili aioli, which I’d go back for in a second. Crunchy, with a slight char and a gentle kick. Fantastic.

We moved onto Hamachi cured in sea salt, lemon zest and parsley, and served with red onion, lemon, fried capers, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and slices of grilled baguette. The

yellowtail tuna was silky as could be.

It did taste a little fishy on its own, but was lovely when smushed (that’s a technical term) around in the lemon juice and olive oil.

Grilled Primal Cuts creole sausage with goat cheese polenta, pickled jalapeno and arugula salad worked on every front. The sausage was full of flavor while the salad dressed in a lemon vinaigrette providing a perfectly citrusy contrast.

We enjoyed the espresso-dusted grilled hangar steak, served in a tasty guajillo blueberry adobo reduction. (I told you this place doesn’t serve your run-of-the-mill food.) Despite the creative sauce, I could still taste the delicious Cascade Natural beef.

The Prince Edward Island mussels with Spanish chorizo, garlic and white wine were out of this world.

The marriage between seafood and spicy pig worked on every level, and we all wanted a straw for the broth.

Next time I’m bringing my own loaf of bread to mop it up.

Sunriver Music Festival’s 38th Season America the Beautiful

T

~ Festivals

he Sunriver Music Festival will present two new compositions that will be performed for the first time by an orchestra. Both pieces will be performed as opening pieces at the Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall.

Heather Schmidt’s Lunar Reflections will be premiered on Wednesday, August 12 and C.F. Kip Winger’s Granted Passage on Wednesday, August 19.

HEATHER SCHMIDT Lunar Reflections Canadian composer and pianist Heather Schmidt is equally known as both a performer and composer, with numerous awards to her credit in both disciplines.

Her composition Lunar Reflections reveals Schmidt’s fascination with astronomy.

Both the music and the Heather Schmidt title refer to the actual reflection of the moon and Schmidt’s impressions of the different moons in the lunar cycle.

C. F. KIP WINGER Granted Passage Charles Frederick Kip Winger is best known as a heavy metal rock musician and founder of the ‘80’s band Winger, but since 2008, he has been focusing on classical composition. This might seem an odd departure for a Kip Wagner guitarist who played with Alice Cooper and sang with Alan Parsons, but Winger is no ordinary metal head. His composition Granted Passage has a lot of swing to it, although not in a big band way. The music begins with a low riff for cello.“When I hear the riff, I’m setting out on a journey,” Winger explains.“It’s mysterious, with many highs and lows, almost heroic.

There’s a big climactic ending when the original theme returns.”

Fellowship, one of the most lucrative and significant prizes available to an American pianist.

This year, Chen won a $100,000 award, one of five 2015 grants from the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship Fund for the Performing and Visual Arts.

Chen will perform a solo concert on Monday, August 17, the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto no.1 with the Festival Orchestra on Wednesday, August 19 and will instruct a Piano Master Class on Tuesday, August 18.

The Pops Concert on Friday, August 7 at Summit High School will feature the Festival Orchestra’s performance of Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite while experiencing hundreds of brilliant photographs of the Grand Canyon projected onto a 440-squarefoot, three-panel, panoramic screen suspended above the orchestra.

This creative synthesis of music and imagery provides a compelling new symphonic experience. Featured is the Central Oregon Mastersingers with the Festival Orchestra performing Aaron Copland’s The Promise of Living plus America the Beautiful and the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Cellist Amit Peled will be the featured soloist of Concert II on Wednesday, August 12 in the Great Hall performing the Haydn Cello Concerto in C major with the Festival Orchestra. From the United States to Europe to the Middle East and Asia, Israeli cellist Peled is a musician of profound artistry and charismatic stage presence.

This year is a celebration of the Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship program’s 20th Anniversary. As part of the celebration festivities, Maestro Hanson has invited eight time Young Artists Scholarship award winner Kyle Ruggles to perform as the flute soloist with the Festival Orchestra during the Family Concert and the Tower Theatre Concert. Kyle is a recent graduate from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Violinist John Fawcett will perform as a featured soloist in the Family Concert. Fawcett is a three time Sunriver Music Festival Young Artists Scholarship recipient and won the Central Oregon Symphony’s Young Artist Competition three times, enabling him to solo with the Central Oregon Symphony in 2010, 2012 and 2013.

The popular Family Concert is returning this year on Monday, August 10 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall.

Concert III at the Tower Theatre on Saturday, August 15 will feature flutist Kyle Ruggles performing John Rutter’s Suite Antique and the talented Central Oregon Mastersingers performing the music of Bernstein and Copland with the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra.

merica the Beautiful is the theme for the Sunriver Music Festival’s 38th Season. The festival concerts run from August 7–19, with two concerts in Bend and five concerts in Sunriver.

The Sunriver Music Festival’s Artistic Director and Conductor George Hanson will lead the world class Festival Orchestra in four classical concerts, a Pops concert and a Family Concert. The 38th season includes a solo piano concert plus free orchestra rehearsals, a piano master class and the annual Festival Faire dinner and auction fundraiser.

Maestro George Hanson selected the America the Beautiful theme with the sub-theme “something old, something new, something red, white and blue.”

“Each of the seven summer festival concerts include classical favorites from Schumann, Beethoven, Haydn and Mendelssohn plus a nice assortment of music from more contemporary composers, such as Copland and Bernstein,” explains Maestro Hanson.“We are also including two new world premiers by composers Heather Schmidt and C.F. Kip Winger.”

Hanson adds, “The patriotic theme will run throughout the entire concert series and include well loved music that expresses the composers’ love for their homelands. We’ve selected music from Austria, Germany, Italy, the U.K., Czech Republic and the U.S.” Sean Chen, the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Crystal Medalist, is back by popular demand. The first American to place as a finalist since 1997, Chen won fans with his, “exceptional ability to connect with an audience combined with an easy virtuosity,” (Huffington Post). In 2013, Chen won the American Pianists Association’s Christel DeHaan Classical

Tower Theatre Unveils New Season

he Tower Theatre’s 201516 Season provides a spectrum of entertainment opportunities to satisfy an array of tastes in performing arts. Shows range from a Georgia country music legend, Hall of Fame English Rocker, Mexican Mariachis, folk revivalists, gypsy jazz maestros and post mod power pop.

After you’ve satisfied your outdoor craving for the day, don’t settle into the same chair in your living room grab a seat in Bend’s Living Room and satisfy your craving for live performance and entertainment.

Here is a taste of what’s on tap under the Tower Theatre’s marquee: In November Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Dave Mason, will cause a musical traffic jam when he retraces the sights, stories and songs behind some of the greatest days of rock.

Kicking off the holidays, and their U.S. Tour, are the Ten Tenors, vocal wonders from down under whom the Los Angeles Times describe as, “pure electricity and undeniable drama.”

Then enjoy the collective of Northwest musicians that is the Portland Cello Project, performing everything from Bach to Kanye West, bending all preconceptions of what music can come from the cello.

Winter heats up with an electrifying evening of classic radio hits like I’m A Believer, Candy Girl, and Happy Together performed by Under the Streetlamp, a quartet of leading cast members from the Tony Award-

38

winning sensation Jersey Boys.

Next, it’s an acoustic evening with Travis Tritt, the Grammy Awardwinning country-rock musician who dominated charts in the early ‘90s with hits It’s A Great Day To Be Alive, T-R-O-U-B-L-E, Here’s A Quarter, and Love of a Woman, to name a few.

Back by popular demand, Jose Hernandez and Mariachi Sol de Mexico return this spring with what Billboard Magazine labeled, “one of the most prolific Mariachis in the world…a versatile performing troupe.”

Also bringing his poignant and joyful performance back to Bend is master of American roots music, and living link to the Delta Blues, Keb’ Mo.’

Then prepare yourself for Rhythmic Circuses’ joyous parade of rapid fire tap talent accompanied by imaginative costumes, a human beatbox and a seven-piece band.

The Smithereens bring back the post mod power pop of the ‘80s with echoes of the Kinks and Elvis Costello. According to NPR Fresh Air, “everything in The Smithereens’ world is like a film noir shot in psychedelic colors. A great rock ‘n’ roll band.”

Canadian folk artists, Dala, take the stage next drawing upon influences of The Beatles, Joni Michell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan to create music that is catchy, insightful and eloquently beautiful.

What better way to spend Mother’s Day than with Lisa Rock and her six piece band as they perform Close to

The group formed Parlour as a trio, but they were still on the lookout for a fiddle player.

“We knew Susan Bonacker through the local music circles,” explains Mike Quon. “At the time, she was a member of Wild Rye, a Celtic-influenced band. She played in both bands for almost two years.

Because of time constraints, she recently made the hard decision to leave Wild Rye and focus on Parlour.”

The band’s new album, Days of Plenty, is comprised of all original material with most of the songs written by the Quons. The album was recorded by Potter who also wrote the song, Amanda Lynn, which features beautiful mandolin melodies. Parlour secured Dan McClung from Moon Mountain Ramblers to play upright bass on the recording. Many Parlour

he local folk group Parlour plans a CD release party for Friday, August 21 on the lawn at Crux Fermentation Project in Bend from 6-9pm. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and/or low back lawn chairs for the performance.

Parlour was formed in 2013 consisting of Linda Quon (vocals), Mark Quon (guitar/vocals), Mike Potter (mandolin/dobro/vocals) and Susan Bonacker (fiddle/ background vocals).

Linda and Mark Quon originally began playing music as The Quons until forming the larger folk band.

The hunt began with a call for a mandolin player. Potter, a good friend of the Quons, wanted to try out and despite not playing the mandolin, he picked it up quickly.

New Perspective for August by Eileen Lock

hoices are made on the 1st that will bring expansion in both the Love and money areas of life. Speak your truth at this time and you will realize what an opportunity it really is. Gratitude will go a long way on the 4th and it will make it easier to choose your next direction. Decisions made on the 6th will come from realizing what feels right. Talk about this over the next few days and explore the possibilities.

New discoveries on the 11th will coincide with a dissolving of old structures. Be open and ready to make changes on the 14th as the New Moon asks you to do what works for you.

Love yourself more than ever near the 19th and you will see amazing changes happen. Surprising conversations on the 20th could leave you questioning what to do next. Take a few days to relax about it and the solutions will show themselves.

Communications on the 26th are loud and clear and will offer opportunities. Ask to start a relationship near the 27th and you could be delightfully surprised. The Full Moon on the 29th is seeking completion and you could find yourself in a fun yet awkward position. A strong expression of Love is very possible on the 31st. Feel proud of what is in your heart and be willing to let the entire world know about it.

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.
