Creativity is Everything & Everywhere Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. ~ Pablo Picasso, Metamorphoses of the Human Form: Graphic Works, 1895-1972

n idea, a concept, a vision has been peculating in our community over the past several months or so to create an arts and culture space that would harness our creativity through educational programs, workshops and exhibits. Spearheaded by the ever inventive Pat Clark of Atelier 6000 the arts center, named ScaleHouse, would be a catalyst for expanding and engaging our community into the inspiring world of art. Pat’s cadre of inspirers and activists include Alex and Sandy Anderson, Cristy Lanfri, René Mitchell, Cassondra Schindler and Adell Shetterly. The group is still in the process of finding an appropriate space to launch ScaleHouse but Pat explained that the center would become an inspiration setting to pursue such intriguing initiatives as studying street art or worldwide thoughts about how the whole museum structure is changing and becoming more affiliated with the creative process. The engagement will entail all the avenues of listening, creating and viewing exhibits.

Pat explained that they partnered with PNCA pretty much because people who are associated with Atelier are ready for the next level…they will be able to take courses here and augment it with course work at PNCA. She views it as just a beginning and believes that the OSU-Cascade masters writing program will complement the printmaking program. “A hand and glove situation for fine publishing,” she said. “Interesting thing is that everybody is after the same market of people for specialized programs. This gives people in Central Oregon more flexibility where they can find more degree work.”

ScaleHouse will pursue such intriguing initiatives as studying street art or worldwide thoughts about how the whole museum structure is changing and becoming more affiliated with the creative process. The engagement will entail all the avenues of listening, creating and viewing exhibits.

In the meantime, ScaleHouse organizers have taken a resourceful step forward and partnered with Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland to bring a printmaking curriculum to Central Oregon offering workshops, artist in residency programs and exhibitions with a long-term goal of establishing a low-residency MFA program.

An added benefit of the PNCA connection affords us the possibility of sharing national exhibits that travel. This could be a really great benefit for the ScaleHouse venue. Tom Manley, president of PNCA, recently spoke at a ScaleHouse session discussing the importance of creative education and how imaginative thinking can help us look at and solve problems in a new, fresh way.

We live in an inventive community where we continue to “TheTowerTheatre” look forward. ScaleHouse is opening new doors in @towertheatrebnd our cultural world and this burgeoning creativity will lead us into new and inspiring territory. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | August 2013

encore New Bike Rack Art in NorthWest Crossing

NorthWest Crossing has installed a new bicycle rack in its neighborhood center. The rack, which was designed and built by local metal artist and sculptor Andy Wachs, features a primary design of different colored circles. The 1960s-inspired design was created by Wachs for both functionality as a bike rack, and for its aesthetic appeal as a piece of public art. “Due to the prominent location of the piece in the heart of NorthWest Crossing, I wanted to develop something that would serve as a sculpture as well as a place for visitors to park their bikes,” said Wachs. “I went through several rounds of designs before landing on this final iteration, which utilizes the whole space we had available and adds a point of interest to the intersection where it is installed.” Placed in the empty lot on the southeast corner of NW Crossing Drive and Fort Clatsop Street, the new rack re-emphasizes the neighborhood’s commitment

to alternative means of transportation. Andy Wachs has other pieces of art on display in NorthWest Crossing, including his metal sculpture Vertical Margin in the neighborhood center and the metal NorthWest Crossing logos on the trail crossing at Lemhi Pass Drive. For the past 17 years Wachs has made a career in the metal arts. In 2005, he opened Weld Design Studio, where he designs and fabricates architectural metal work, furniture and fine art. He holds a degree in fine arts from Western Washington University. welddesignstudio.com.

Cascade AE Launches First Friday/Event APP

rtWalk in Bend has taken on the festive air of an outdoor party, especially during the summer months when musicians and performers take to the streets, art spills out of gallery doors onto sidewalks and art lovers sip wine and wander the streets. August 2 will be no exception as Cascade A&E launches a new way to interact with local events, exhibits and galleries with the new Cascade AE App. Join us for ArtWalk in the downtown OnPoint parking lot (corner of Bond and Oregon) as we celebrate Central Oregon’s amazing cultural and artistic resources. Over the past year we have been planning, designing and working closely with App developers, Five Talent Software, to create the mobile App. Developed for Apple and Android devices, it features an interactive ArtWalk map, exhibit map and an extensive event calendar. Walk through downtown Bend and the Old Mill District and access exhibit details and links, and also upload photos and videos from your ArtWalk experience. You can also get your voice heard by voting on A&E’s my favorite category each month. The interactive exhibit map will highlight monthly Central Oregon exhibits from Sisters to Redmond, La Pine to Prineville and all in-between, and our extensive events calendar is now accessible on the go. Access music, dance, literature, theatre, festivals, special events and more. Download information will be available on our website: www.cascadeae.com or you can find us under CascadeAE in the Apple App and Droid stores.

MART, Start Making A Reader Today, is gearing up for the third annual SMART Art: Show, Sale, Social on September 19 at 5:30pm. Each year SMART invites artists young and not-soyoung to participate in the Art Show connected with SMART Art.

Join other SMART volunteers to read with children in local schools (it only takes one hour a week!). Create some book-inspired art that can be displayed at our SMART Art Fall fundraiser. This is the fun part, if you and/or your child has a favorite childhood book, you can use that story as an inspiration for a one-of-a kind art piece. SMART will provide all the materials. All you need is a love of reading and some time to relax and channel your inner artist. Art submitted by children, volunteers and community members will be eligible for prizes at our fundraiser in the fall. Can’t make it to SMART Art at the Library? No problem. Log onto www.getSMARToregon.org and click not the “Call for Submissions” link to find out about submitting your book-inspired art pieces for SMART Art, 2013. www.getSMARToregon.org, 541-355-5604.

tival. Winners receive a trophy, scholarship to a guest author workshop, a cash prize and inclusion in NOW’s annual anthology of student writing. Fiction judge Jane Kirkpatrick, commenting on a winning entry, said, “I thought it a beautifully layered story inventively told… The voice is fresh and engaging, sparking the reader’s imagination and thoughtfulness about family secrets… A very satisfying read.” She offered this reaction to another winning submission, “The author creates tension and a mood within the first line that draws the reader in and puts the reader immediately inside the head of the primary character. I fully expect this could be the first chapter of a novel and hope this writer will continue to pursue writing as a profession.”

Amy Mentuck

New Director at Nature of Words

my Mentuck, who recently took over the leadership of Nature of Words, has spent more than half her life strengthening nonprofits with mission drivers including environmental preservation, education access, poverty reduction, opportunity youth and arts and culture. She’s helped raise community profiles and millions of dollars for local causes like Heart of Oregon Corps and BendFilm and national nonprofits like Amy Mentuck Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and the Outdoor Industry Association. Her passion for literary arts was sparked in second grade when she won the creative writing prize at her elementary school’s annual art festival. As a lifetime voracious reader and amateur writer, she finds respite and rejuvenation in both. Her psychology and kinesiology degree from University of New Hampshire speak to an earnest fascination with human behavior and motivation. With deep New England roots and a love of east coast cities, Amy is often asked, “Why Oregon?” After adventuring in some of the most picturesque U.S. mountain towns including Jackson Hole, Flagstaff, Whitefish, Telluride and Boulder, she found her true bearings in Bend. If she isn’t reading, you’ll find her on a trail run, mountain biking or skiing with her son, Jack. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | August 2013

Local Artist Supports the Stars

f I were writing an alphabet book about Sunriver, the A page would say A is for August and August is for Art! August in Sunriver brings the Sunriver Music Festival which is always music to our ears, and the Women’s Club- sponsored Art Faire which is an absolute treasure-trove of artistic delights. There are concerts on the lawn at SHARC, painting classes, works of art hung for all to enjoy and the end of the month brings the Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) production of The Jungle Book which incorporates dance and drama so all four disciplines of the arts are alive and well this month. When looking for an artist to design the posters, programs and T-shirts, the STARS had to look no farther than LaPine and artist Roxanne McKay who is an accomplished furniture maker. She built her own house and studio and all the furniture inside. Three years ago, this self-taught artist decided to dabble in painting. Since then she has created Scoo-Teez

children’s apparel and a book to go along with this line of whimsical clothing. She also let her imaginative interpretation of the Nazca style of Peruvian painting take wing on the walls of Hola! restaurant in both Sunriver and downtown Bend. On top of that she is a featured artist in the Lori Salisbury Gallery in Sisters. Her schedule keeps her hopping and she loves what she does. That is one reason she decided to help the SSCT. “I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I do every day, I want to give back when I can,” McKay said. “Painting a picture to be used for The Jungle Book was pure fun and I was glad to be able to help them out.” The painting, featuring Sher Khan and Kaa in McKay’s colorful style will be adapted into posters, program covers and cast T-shirts and seen around town and at the play which runs August 30-31 at 7pm and September 1 at 1pm at SHARC. As a special treat, you may meet the artist before the play Poster art by Roxanne McKay on opening night. The Sunriver Stars and Roxanne ACTING WORKSHOP McKay are doing their part The Sunriver Stars Community Theater announce that local residents to keep the Arts on the A and theatre experts Randy Heise and Al Klascius will present an acting list…Sunriver Style! workshop at SHARC on August 1.

Heise and Klascius will cover actor and character development as well as stage movement and awareness. They will get participants into the act through performance and also touch on lighting and projection awareness. This workshop promises to hone the skills of both experienced and the inexperienced actor, helping them shine in all future productions. Register dramama@comcast.net.

Hero’s Welcome at 2nd Street Theater

or many veterans, returning home from a deployment is an extremely difficult transition. In addition to physical scars and injuries, they might be dealing with PTSD, grieving the loss of a fellow service member or facing challenges in their family life. Hero’s Welcome is a unique puppet show, created by Sarah Holloway PhD, which addresses this often-frightening new reality in a fun, non-threatening performance using myths and folktales from around the world. Because Hero’s Welcome employs universal stories in the broad context of dealing with trauma, it is appropriate for young audiences aged 4-8 years from all walks of life, not just military families. This unique production features two styles of puppets, reflecting the multiculturalism of the stories presented: large, rod-style puppets for the Korean folktale The Tiger’s Whisker and Scandinavian glove-style puppets for the ancient Norse myth Tyr’s Hand. TICKETS: 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette, Bend, August 3-4, 2pm. Benefit for Central Oregon Veteran’s Outreach (COVO). This unique production premiered in 2011 on Veteran’s Day as a fundraising event for the Returning Veterans Project. Admission is a $5 suggested donation per family. Tickets are available at the door one hour before each performance, seating is limited.

CTC Dives into New Season

BDF X_CAE.pdf

7/19/13

3:48 PM

ith both feet planted firmly on the high dive, Cascades Theatrical Company (CTC) plunges into season 35 by making a big splash with its opening production. The Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten will open this milestone season. Under the direction of Juliah Rae, the play will open on September. Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of 33 years. Sheree, the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and ‘perfect’ life, and continues to be the group’s leader. Dinah, the wisecracking overachiever, is a career dynamo. But her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life. Lexie, pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. She enjoys being married--over and over and over again. The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos. And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal, experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and raucous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging) that life flings at them. And when fate throws a wrench into one of their lives in the second act, these friends, proving the enduring power of teamwork, rally ‘round their own with the strength and love that takes this comedy in a poignant and surprising direction. The Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable women---a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.

2013-14 SNEAK PEEK

TC will be enticing its patrons by presenting a scene from each play of the new season. This year’s Sneak Peek will be offered for two evenings and one matinee, Friday and Saturday (August 23, 24) at 7pm and Sunday (August 25) at 1:30pm. This GALA Event will showcase a scene from each play, with a brief account from the director, some gourmet samplings, a no-host bar and a chance to purchase season passes, become a member and to volunteer for CTC. Seating is limited to 130 patrons at each peek and a donation of $10/person is suggested. www.cascadestheatrical.org or 541-389-0803.

he Pine Theater is a story of small-town survival in the face of tribulation. In 1938, the theater opened and became the second theater operating in downtown Pine Theater Prineville (in addition to the Lyric Theater). When the Lyric closed due to fire damage in 1966 the Pine was the only place residents could easily see a movie. But in 1980, the theater was shut down due to a minor building code issue. For the next 25 years, the building languished unused. That was until 2007, when Ali and Oniko Mehrabi managed to rescue the theater. Since then, the theater has once again reclaimed its reputation as a cherished part of Prineville, opening a second screen in 2011. “Our goal is to provide a fun, safe and friendly place for the city for many, many years to come,” said the Mehrabis. “However, Hollywood has placed an almost insurmountable barrier in front of small community theaters, such as ours.

end Experimental Art Theatre (BEAT) produces approximately four stage productions each year. The actors (ages six through 20) sign up through an open online enrollment and those that turn in materials on time get into the eight to 10 week workshop. As one can imagine, there are several levels of ability in each group that convenes into these workshops. The audition process is done to help the actors experience auditioning and of course, to give the director a view into the depth of talent.

The question that often arises is one of natural talent versus training. In the case of BEAT, the actor that Hard work plays a huge role, regardless of whether he/she is naturally gifted has not had training can do very well, yet with singing lessons or dance instruction they have a sense of confidence and shine at their audition. An actor who has a natural talent for becoming a character will find that initially doing the task is easy, but without training and practice, this same actor will be limited in their ability to reach full potential. The verdict of someone being naturally talented is often distorted. When we experience a fine piece of art or music or theatre, we often conclude that the artist/actor is very gifted. This conclusion comes from seeing the beautiful end result. It is easy to forget about the process and the journey of developing the talent. Most likely, the artist has practiced for many years to get to the end result. BEAT offers several classes to help actors develop and refine their skills. A stage actor must refine three areas: singing, dancing and acting, plus be able to do all three at the same time.

Theatre & Flim

Saving Pine Theater BEAT Natural Talent Versus Training

The 2012-13 BEAT season included two musicals: Annie and The Pirates of Penzance with more musicals planned for upcoming seasons. BEAT is offering a Musical Theatre class and a Free-Style Singing class which are geared to help the actor polish their performance skills. Dance Drama is a great class to help actors with body language, movement and dancing.

The Distinctive Work of Native American Steven Gunnyon by MITCH GRIMMETT, A&E Editorial Intern

sing his artistic abilities to craft unique artwork out of precious metals and bring blank canvases to life, Oregonian Steven Gunnyon has gained a solid reputation in the United States as well as Europe. Gunnyon, an artist of Native American descent, is well known for the creation of the eagle feather design in 1975 and other pieces related to the cultures of the Plateau and Northern Plains Indian tribes. Some examples of these works include ear rings, pendants, necklaces, shields and feather fans. This artistic ability didn’t manifest itself overnight. “I was always artistic, ever since I was a little kid,” Gunnyon explained. “I used to grab some clay at my elementary school and make pottery. I continued sculpting through college and now I really enjoy making hollowware, a technique in which you raise a piece from a flat sheet of sterling silver and inlay stones into the artwork.” This technique allows Gunnyon to produce stunning pieces with an interesting and rather distinctive look. When asked about the message he wants his artwork to convey to viewers, Gunnyon revealed that there generally isn’t a solid message contained in most of his pieces and that he simply creates what he feels. However, the story changes when it comes to the shields he has crafted. “With the shield

pieces there is definitely a story going on there. A shield is a sign of protection and the eagle feathers that I put on them are too.” To look at these pieces is to know that they are made with a level of care and respect that deserves to be recognized. With over 40 years of experience, it is no surprise that Gunnyon is skilled at his craft and that this skill has brought him success. Yet, he stressed that being an artist has not been his only job throughout the years. Ranching, fishing and logging have all been jobs that Gunnyon has held at one time or another. These no doubt influence his artwork along with the many other experiences he has gathered over a long and healthy life. www.quintanagalleries.com/htmls/artists/ pages/Artists-1183.shtml.

Pavé Fine Jewelry Celebrates 10 Years

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

John Voelzow, Molly España & Rod Kuehnast

Bend trends: rustic, raw looks: raw diamonds, alternative metals & heavy hammered finishes

avé Fine Jewelry has created a niche in Bend’s jewelry market by tuning in to local trends, focusing on community involvement and offering a unique “happiness guarantee.” Due to the success and growth of the business over the past 10 years, Pavé has withstood the recent economic downturn to continue creating innovative designs, and the shop is busier than ever before. Owner John Voelzow first dabbled in the trade as a teenager. He began drilling and polishing Mexican coins for his neighbor’s beaded jewelry and then began making his own fashion belts made of brass and agates in his 20s. A few years later he started an informal apprenticeship in Tuscon, Arizona. “I learned the trade and worked for four-five years before moving to California,” he said. In the Bay Area Voelzow worked for several jewelry stores and a trade show before picking up and moving to Bend in 2001. “California was getting crazy, and I had a couple of friends here... then I saw a for lease sign where the store is now (on the corner of Minnesota and Bond St.),” he explained. Voelzow jumped at the corner spot in the busy downtown area, expanding into a second space six years ago. He did all the remodeling: in the showroom he built the cases and cabinets and also refinished the floor and tin ceiling. “Shortly after opening I got the feel that downtown was a very custom oriented jewelry mecca,” Voelzow said. “I have great ideas for design, but my forte is not creating the initial model,” he explained. He reached out to Rod Kuehnast, one of the owners where he worked in Tuscon, and soon Kuehnast joined the Pavé team. “Rod’s jewelry and art is amazing. I don’t think there is anyone in the state who is as talented when it comes to handcrafting jewelry,” Voelzow said. “I felt very lucky to be able to get him to come up here.” A few years later Molly España joined the men; a graduate gemologist and a certified insurance appraiser, España’s skills ensure customers get the correct appraisals, which can often save people money. “Between the three of us we have 70 years of experience in the jewelry industry. Our 10 years of being in business in Bend seems

small comparatively.” Pavé Fine Jewelry’s creative custom designs and repair services are very popular, but so are the lines they carry from other jewelers. Local artist Gabrielle Taylor’s work can be found in the shop along with several other Oregon artists. “A lot of times we draw in designers when we really appreciate their style,” Voelzow said. “There is a limit to what three people can create, a lot of our time is spent on custom designs, wedding and anniversary pieces. “I think we genuinely care about our customers and take the time to educate them and cater to their needs, it’s not about what we think they need or what we want to see them buy. No one is pushy, we work around what you want and your budget. Rod is amazing and can sit down with a customer and can draw out inspiration and put it down onto paper.” The Pavé team has noticed some unique Bend trends: rustic, raw looks: raw diamonds, alternative metals, heavy hammered finishes and materials like recycled gold. “People like to see the eco-friendly materials in their jewelry,” Voelzow said. Pavé keeps up with trends by reading trade magazines, looking to award shows to see who is wearing what and traveling to Las Vegas and the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show each year. Supporting local charities is important to the business and they have been active supporters of the Assistant League of Bend, hosting them on a First Friday each year and raising money for their program, Operation School Bell. Chimps Inc. is another non-profit they support. At the end of the day, Voelzow thinks Pavé’s excellent customer service, design skills and their “happiness guarantee” have helped to create a strong customer base. “We state that anything you buy here you have to be 100 percent happy with; we will refund money on anything. If we build you a ring, we will make it again if you don’t like it. If you just don’t like it, we will give the money back, and have never refused a return,” he said. “If it can be done at all, it can be done right.” www.pavebend.com, 101 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-322-0500, pavejewelry@gmail.com.

Cover Story

Uplifting & Beautiful

Nancy Cawdrey’s Vision of the West by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

Sweet Cheeks

ilk painting began in China thousands of years ago with Chinese calligraphy characters carefully brushed onto silk scrolls, and over time came to be the preferred medium to depict forms of nature as well as religious and mythological characters. While artist Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey often keeps to the tradition of painting scenes from nature on her silk creations, it’s the spontaneity and brilliance of color that attracts her to the art. “Silk dye is very transparent,” Cawdrey explained. “I love to get an image of wildlife with the sky reflecting in the water, [as in the cover painting, Boo!]. It is challenging and fun.” This is the first year Cawdrey will be participating in the Art of the West show, but her Western themed artwork is well known throughout the country. She is represented in galleries throughout her home state of Montana, and her work is regularly included in invitational art shows across the West. “We felt that Nancy Cawdrey’s painting, with its captivating colors and relevant subject matter, would stand out on the newsstands. It just makes a great magazine cover,” commented John Furgurson of the High Desert Museum. “I have been part of other museum shows, they play an important roll in the community,” Cawdrey said. “It’s a wonderful place to gather and look at the history of [our communities] and support artists. I’m honored to be asked to do it.” Cawdrey and her husband chose to live at the edge of Montana’s vast wilderness over 30 years ago while they ran a wilderness boarding school. It was there she was able to cultivate her appreciation of silence and become open to nature’s influence.

“There is a serenity and pattern in nature that is wonderful to pay attention to and take in,” she said. “I love watching animals in nature; we have that in abundance.” The Cawdreys live on a slough where blue herons, eagles, sand hill cranes, killdeer and other animals regularly visit. “It is very important [to me to] draw attention to nature as an artist, Nancy Cawdrey this is a beautiful place.” Boo! was devised from a series of photographs of bears in Alaska taken by Cawdrey’s friend. “I think bears are awesome subject matter,” she said. “I like [this painting’s] humor and color. There is a sense of surprise…bears do love the water. I like the whole theme of wildlife in water.” In addition to the inspiration she finds in the great wide open, Cawdrey attributes her design sense to the extensive travel her family enjoyed due to her father’s position with different U.S. Embassies around the world. “I think most artists love the patterns of things; living all those places helped me to think outside the box.” Cawdrey’s world view is focused on positivity, and her art reflects that temperament, “I do try to focus on that which is uplifting and beautiful. I’m not a tortured artist. I’m fairly impervious to negativity…Be kind to each other and go forward.” Nancy Cawdrey Studios & Gallery, 2230 Riverside Road, Bigfork, Montana 59911, 406-755-2727, www.nancycawdrey.com.

Greg Gifford The Rock Guy

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

reg Gifford became “The Rock Guy” by accident. On a beach vacation in Baja about 10 years ago, he began stacking rocks. When not kayaking or windsurfing, he ventured into the desert and made rock sculptures. “By the time we left the place I had about 50 of them along the road and the guy that ran the place said, “You are the rock guy!” Gifford took his new moniker back to Bend where he created his first rock sculpture which still stands on the corner of his home on Riverfront Ave. “I thought that was all I was going to do,” he commented, “then someone wanted me to make them one… and I thought maybe I could sell some of these.” He began experimenting with different shapes and abstract forms; the demand for his sculptures gathering steam when the owners of the former furniture store Rising Star wanted to carry his work. Rising Star proved to be a very popular spot for Gifford’s sculptures and when the store closed down, he moved over to Pine Mountain Sports. By this time Gifford had a series of sporty sculptures: a kayaker, biker, golfer, fisherman, etc. that were a great match for the sporting goods store. “It has been a win-win for both Greg Gifford drills into a of us. I do the installation there and take care of them… rock for a new sculpture it gets a lot of people in the door because they are curious about them, so it’s been a good partnership,” he said. Gifford uses all local rocks and sources them from Shevlin Sand and Gravel. “They are not necessarily pretty rocks, the shapes are interesting, but they are kind of soft and that makes them drillable,” he said. From basalt to cinder rocks, he uses a hammer drill and many, many bits in his work. He inserts metal rods to keep the sculpture together and brass pins to attach the accessories. “There is nothing more inanimate than a rock…giving them animation and life is fun,” he said. “I often assert my will over [the rocks], if I find a really interesting shape I’ll find a way to use it…A lot of times I don’t know what I’m going to do with them when I get them, I guess in that respect they kind of tell me what I should [make].” Gifford always has an eye out for objects he can incorporate into his rock sculptures: garage sales are great for kids bikes, old golf clubs and other nick-nacks, he even has plans for a discarded spring he found while on a hike in the woods. Gifford’s kayak “I have always tinkered around, and reused things,” sculptures are a best-seller he explained. Back in the ‘70s, Gifford created driftwood furniture; he would travel to Shasta Lake on the coast to forage for driftwood, selling his creations at art fairs. He sold his rock sculptures at Bend’s Saturday Market for a while and went to one art fair at Eagle Crest a few years ago, but the size and weight of his merchandise created quite a laborious task of moving and setting up his wares. Now he keeps the sculptures close to home, in his front yard…or at Pine Mountain Sports. “I do not consider myself an artist at all, this affords me to earn some money so I can buy real art,” Gifford laughed. “I just discovered this niche; it took some creativity I suppose and a lot of practice.” The keen eye will spot Gifford’s rock sculptures all around town, Atelier 6000 usually has one of his pieces in front of the gallery (he rotates them out for First Friday), and he created a special Segway rock sculpture that sits in front of the Bend Tour Company. To see a full range of Gifford’s work, take a walk or bike ride down Riverfront Avenue. 541-317-1463, jgifford@bendcable.com.

From sculpture to cabinetry, mantels to corbels, housewares to mandolins, Will’s passion has been the creative carving and Chair by Will Nash Angels Among Us by working of one of the earth’s greatest mediums: Kim McClain wood. There is a hidden magic in the qualities inherent in wood; the depth of polished burl and the strength of grain, the early and the late, the figural and the medulary, a magic Will tries to reflect in his sculptural exploration. Callen studied classical mosaics in Ravenna, Italy.

The technique was the ancient Byzantine method of setting tesserae (pieces of glass) directly into a mortar bed. Her whimsical artwork utilizes a variety of materials, including but not limited to art glass imported from Italy and Mexico, dichroic glass, mirror glass, beads and sometimes eccentric found objects. McClain’s paintings can be described as expressive, intuitive and emotional. Using color, line and texture, she may often layer with mixed media to create her images. She tries to capture the spirit of her subject and invite the viewer to emotionally participate in her work.

Atelier 6000 Produces Two Limited Edition Books Photos courtesy of Atelier 6000

he summer months are action packed at Atelier 6000. A6 artist members are currently printing pages for Via Lactea, a limited edition art book. The collaboration between writer, artist, typographers and book designers has resulted in an elegant, limited edition art book. In Ellen Waterston’s verse novel Via Lactea, the reader joins pelegrina as she walks her way to unexpected answers to many of life’s questions along the ancient pilgrimage route of the Camino de Santiago in Spain. In this fictionalized accounting, the pelegrina finds herself not only in conflict with herself, but also implicated in a battle between a caricature of the Catholic Church and Camino Woman. The many real and imagined characters met along the way, the variety of voices, poetic styles and forms make this collection a provocative

In addition to Ron Schultz’s outstanding print work, the elaborate faux leather bookbinding and the design and handset typography by Thomas Osborne of Bend and Sandy Tilcock of Eugene make the limited edition of Via Lactea an exquisite example of the book as fine art.

Piano Suites, a Limited Boxed Book

iano Suites originated over 25 years ago between two colleagues devoted to creative causes, “in tune” and connected to the arts and education. Patricia “Pat” Clark received a selection of poems from her colleague, musician, poet and professor at University of Wisconsin, River Falls, Robert Samarotto. As a poet, he collaborated with composers and visual artists. A performing member of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera and the Zeitgeist Ensemble, Samarotto frequently toured Europe and the United States. He served as music director for the Guthrie Theater, recorded for Sony Classics, OO Records and New Albion Records. Samarotto’s poems reveal his serious, humorous and confrontive attitude regarding the piano from a musician’s viewpoint, as well as his personal perspective. One poem in the series divulges how a clarinetist hates to hear the sound of piano. Clark captures Samarotto’s written word and created drawings to accompany his poems. Over the years, the drawings were packed from one location to another with the intent to complete the drawings in progress. Upon the death of her friend, Robert Samarotto, Clark determined to finish the vision they had in years past; it was the right moment - an acknowledgement and memorial for a friend. The work came freely, expressions of Samarotto’s poems, piano resonance and reverberations, the interior architecture of the piano all flowed into Clark’s “sound” drawings. Piano Suites, a unique limited edition art book of sound drawings features handset typography by Ezma Hanschka of Night Owl Press, 12 poems by Robert Samarotto accompanied by 12 original hand‐pulled engravings by Master Printmaker Clark artfully presented in a handcrafted case by book artist Rachel Fox.

Clark, founder of Atelier 6000 and an established master printmaker, artist and teacher, has exhibited extensively in the Northwest and throughout the United States. Clark’s artwork is included in many private collections and soon will be on display in the Oregon Arts Commission’s Program, Art in the Governor’s Office. Considered a lifetime honor, a limited number of artists receive an invitation to exhibit in this special exhibition.

Umatilla River At Pendleton, by Leslie Cain

Barbara Slater presents her popular oils depicting animal personalities in her current series, Stock Options, with livestock of Central Oregon. In addition, Leslie Cain salutes a favorite subject of water in her pastel landscapes of the high desert of southeastern Washington and Central Oregon. She notes her pleasure in the challenge of rendering the wet subject of water in the dry medium of pastel, emphasizing that its accurate depiction resides in rememberSweet Caroline by Barbara Slater ing water’s response to the light. Her choice of pastel, inherently soft and fluid, reveals her reverence for place such as the soft reflection of a golden and orange sunset on trees at the edge of the Umatilla River. Other works also depict this dramatic contrast between lights and darks that accompanies the quietude of late afternoon or sunset, accentuating the dreamlike quality of the images. Her artwork appears in numerous corporate, public, and private collections and she recently completed the new Lewis and Clark diorama and mural at Ft. Walla Walla Museum. Also featured in the exhibit are the oil landscapes of Marilyn Higginson with her first appearance in the Betty Gray Gallery. Higginson salutes the importance of nature to the human spirit, depicting the weather and seasons of the Steens Mountain Range and other high desert landscapes including the Alvord Desert, a favorite pilgrimage for herself and her father. Her art often depicts the “peace of the twilight hours of dawn and dusk, and the ephemeral light and shadows” of these quiet times. Working in oil, her surfaces are relatively smooth suggesting the calm of these hours. This is especially seen in the rendering of her skies that are often seamless blends of hue and value. Regarding her artwork as narrative, the artist frequently creates a path into her paintings that leads to the horizon, alluding to the character of human life. Higginson’s career now spans some 40 years. Her artwork appears in collections throughout the U.S. and abroad, including that of the Contemporary Craft Museum in Portland. Sunriver Resort invites the public to meet the artists at the August 3 reception and to visit the exhibition through September 8, open all hours. Billye Turner organizes the exhibitions for Sunriver Resort and provides additional information at 541-382-9398.

Artists’ Gallery at Sunriver

ummer activities have reached a peak of excitement in Central Oregon and the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver is no exception. August 10 is the Second Saturday Artists’ Reception in the Village in Building 19. The reception is 4pm with wine and beer tastings and a meet and greet with the artists.

Chuck Chamberlain, an acrylic painter, is able to effortlessly depict the detail provided in nature. It sometimes seems that he is able to paint every leaf on a tree. His masterful use of color and texture result in paintings that have a strong feeling of atmosphere. In some pieces where lightening rips through the sky the viewer can almost feel the electricity in the air.

Nancy Cotton, a fabric artist, has been a staple at the gallery since it opened, and she keeps her art fresh with the introduction of new fabrics and techniques. The use of color in her fabric art catches the eye of all visitors each time they enter the gallery. Then as the viewer takes a closer look, the detail of her work becomes apparent. Cotton’s pieces include reversible hats, table runners, napkins, wall hangings and large quilts. Recently Cotton developed a passion for Celtic Knots, and she has found a way to translate their beauty into fabric art. In her piece, Kells Knot, the artist utilizes batik fabric to make the knot stand out from the deep purple background. The intricate stitch work echoes the form of the knot as it radiates outward.

Old Barn by Chuck Chamberlain

Hummingbird by Marjorie Coissiart

One of Chamberlain’s favorite subjects for his pieces is old barns. He is exceptional at capturing the texture of the wood, the lushness of the landscape and the beauty of the sky. Several of his paintings with barns as the subject are cleverly framed using (what else) barn wood. Judging by the shear number of her paintings that leave the gallery under the arm of a happy new patron, Marjorie Cossairt is one of the most popular artists at the gallery. Her watercolor paintings beautifully demonstrate two completely different watercolor painting techniques. Many of her paintings are about nature’s creatures, a small forest animal, a bird or maybe a dragon fly.

Cossairt uses a misty and atmospheric style to capture the natural home of each creature, then depicts the subject in a more controlled and realistic style. The result is captivating. One piece Kells Knot by Nancy Cotton on display this month catches a moment in time when a hummingbird drinks nectar from a flower. The viewer can almost hear the beating of his wings and smell the sweetness of the flowers. Kathleen Keliher, a pastel painter, is a new add to the gallery this summer, but she is not new to Central Oregon. She originally moved to Bend in 1998 where she founded the Plein Air Painters of Oregon. Although the artist lived in Portland for the past five years, the subject matter of her paintings lets the viewer know that Central Oregon never left her heart. She is clearly happy to be back to her home in Bend. Keliher’s pastel technique perfectly captures the immense beauty of the Central Oregon landscape. When you gaze into one of her paintings, it seems that you can see forever. One painting on display this month depicts the exact brilliance of the blue sky against the intense gold on the cliffs and mountains. The brush is the exact combination of blue gray and green. The painting is the essence of the high desert.

Welcome to The Sisters Country A Journey Back to the Past at Cha

by JEFF SPRY, A&E Feature Writer of doors for me. Regarding my threeletter name, there were a lot of male carvers in Alaska and I got copied often by manufacturers so I had my signature trademarked by a judge, based on a funny childhood nickname I had: Cha–Cha.” Cha recently relocated from Arizona where she ran a popular gallery and cared for her ailing mother. After the passing of her mom last August, Cha finally moved to Central Oregon. “I think I’ve carved more than 50,000 pieces in my life,” said Cha, mentally tallying them up. “It’s a lot, but if you think how many dishes you wash in a lifetime and add that up, it’s a lot too.” Her path to Sisters was one of careful consideration and discovery. “I was looking for a place that was not as hot as Arizona or cold as Alaska and needed a market where I could sell my animal prints,” she explained. “I’d seen pictures of the Central Oregon area and thought it was beautiful. But I didn’t like all the traffic in Bend since I don’t drive much and found Sisters to be the perfect spot. The people here are super nice and friendly and helpful. And that’s what it’s all about, living the life you want.” Her published books, Voice of the Ancients Book 1 and Book 2 are a creative mixture of new-age philosophy and prehistoric North American peoples and are available for purchase in the gallery. “I’d never written a book before and it was hard. I love them and have already sold a hundred and not really advertised.” Decorating the walls, pedestals and display counters is an eclectic array of bronze sculpture by Jacques and Mary Regat, hand-forged Damascus steel knives from David Mirabile and original animal paintings and prints by Bruce Shingledecker and John Svenson. “I’ve had a lot of positive reactions to the gallery since I opened a few weeks ago. People say it’s expensive stuff and some of it is, like my Shingledecker paintings, but people also tell me they’ve never seen things like this in any store in Sisters. That’s what I want, to show them something new and fun and exciting.” Cha For The Finest Gallery, 183 East Hood Avenue in Sisters, www.chaforthefinest.com, 541-549-1140. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | August 2013 29 Photo by Jeff Spry

f rare prehistoric fossils and spiritually-charged bone carvings strike your artistic fancy, then venture into the Cha For The Finest Gallery in downtown Sisters for a journey back to the ancient past. Gallery owner Cha (yes, that is her legal name) hails from the Land of the Midnight Sun, Alaska, where she lived and worked in Juneau for over 20 years selling exotic ivory scrimshaw, intricate bone artworks, primeval trinkets and charm pendants. “I’ve led an interesting life you could say, and one thing always leads to another,” said the animated artist/author, surrounded by a mysterious collection of bleached walrus skulls, super-bison teeth, dinosaur embryos and whale bones. Living in New Mexico and sick of the rampant drug trafficking there, she wanted to change her life so packed up her daughter into a little travel trailer and drove up to Alaska in 1974. “It just happened to be the height of Alaskan pipeline construction and I got a job doing gold nugget jewelry. So someone asked me if I wanted to learn how to carve and it was great. Then I went into my own business and the first items in my Cha holding a carved mammoth hip bone inventory were billikins, good luck charms made out of ivory or anything. It’s a little man with a big belly and bushy eyebrows and I made bunches of them.” Cha was the billikin queen of the north, but soon tired of selling them for $10 each. She learned that people all over Alaska wanted something different and so she evolved into making tooth faces, fossilized walrus teeth with detailed profiles carved in them. “I also made cameo faces on mammoth hip bones, whale bones, moose and caribou antler or whatever I could get my hands on.“ With a surplus of inventory in the ‘80s, Cha opened her first gift shop in Anchorage called Forever in Ivory. “In Ketchikan I was first introduced to the cruise ship industry where I had a direct relationship with passengers on the ships and that was very exciting.” From Ketchikan she moved to Juneau and a more stable existence. “Learning to carve was the best thing I ever did,” she said. “It opened a lot

Diner’s Gone Wild at the Drake by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

“D

Dining

Smoked Pork Chop

started up at the end of April, and there had a couple of misses interspersed with dishes that were good but not necessarily memorable. So it was with anticipation and some nervousness that I joined three friends there for a summer evening dinner. We started with a round of specialty cocktails so pretty they looked like they were dressed up and out for a night on the town. I’d been disappointed by the drinks on prior visits, but not this time. After trying all four cocktails, I have to say that I’d be hard pressed to choose between the Pink Chihuahua with Hornitos Resposado tequila, mint, lime, fresh grapefruit juice and a splash of soda or the Drake Margarita with fresh jalapeños and strawberries. So far so good. I quit worrying the second our first dish appeared. The daily soup—a chilled gazpacho served with a crostini topped with a perfectly charred prawn—was lovely to look at and lovely to eat. The fresh, sweet, velvety tomato was accented by a slightly crunchy jalapeño bite followed by a hint of smoky vinegar. Little did I know that the dish was introducing us to Chef Ryley Eckersley’s flavor palate and sense of texture, which would be subtly echoed throughout the meal. By the end of dinner, I was certain that I could pick out this masterful chef ’s dishes from a lineup in a blind taste test. But, as usual, I’m getting ahead of myself. Chris brought out a risotto next. Truth be told, the risotto I had tried when the restaurant first opened was not good. But

o you and your friends want to order off the menu or should I just send out food?” asked Drake assistant general manager Chris Knight in anticipation of the restaurant review I’d be doing. The answer was easy. Bring it on! As excited as I was about the prospect of seriously sampling Drake’s food, I was also nervous. I really like Drake. I like the look of the new restaurant. I like the staff. And I like the concept. “We’re reinventing the diner, serving fresh sides from local farms,” explained Knight. “So you can get as creative as you want in terms of putting together a dinner.” But what if I didn’t like the food? I had been in right after Drake had

wow did this one make up for it, tweaking tradition in a positively unforgettable way. Imagine perfectly cooked Arborio rice with sweet corn, roasted red pepper (both still ever so slightly crunchy), white beans and marscapone (Italian cream cheese), topped with fantastically fresh grilled mahi-mahi and micro greens. The dish was even more divine than it sounds. “I can’t stop eating this,” said my friend Leah. “Why would you?” I answered. A deconstructed, grilled romaine Caesar salad followed, served with charred lemon dressing, fried capers, whole white anchovy, crostini and a fried hen’s egg. Once again, the play of textures and that hint of smokiness made the dish. The ingredients all shone on their own and yet melded together, taking the experience to a whole new level. “I feel like I’m sitting in a bistro in Europe,” said one of my friends who should know since she cofounded a travel website for women. “This is food art.” Our gastronomic adventure continued with the Smoked Pork Chop, served with cheesy soft polenta, grilled kale and a cherry compote with a lovely balance of sweet and sour elements. (The word lovely was exclaimed over every single dish we ate that night.) I introduced my dinner companions to the notion of the ultimate bite, loading my fork with a bit of everything on the plate. That’s when I realized that a rose may always be a rose, but a pork chop can be turned into a completely different animal. We ended with three desserts that speak for themselves: a blueberry pie milkshake rimmed with graham cracker crumbs, strawberry beignets served with melted chocolate and whipped cream and a hot molten chocolate cake topped with homemade marshmallow. If I had to come up with a tag line for Drake, I’d say: traditional diner food puts on the Ritz and takes a spin on the dance floor. I’ll be waltzing back in for lunch or dinner just as soon as I can. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | August 2013

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers

conic comedian and accomplished instrumentalist Steve Martin brings his love of bluegrass and the banjo for a humorous and spirited set with the Steep Canyon Rangers to the Les Schwab Amphitheater October 4. Steve Martin and singer-songwriter Edie Brickell are touring together after collaborating together on Love Has Come for You an album that combines Martin’s banjo work with Brickell’s lyrics and vocals include When You Get to Asheville, Love Has Come For You, and Yes She Did. Steve’s banjo work is pure and straightforward, and many of his melodies are incredibly catchy and Edie’s lyrics are a comfortable blend of old time stories and modern sensibilities. Martin deftly plucked out notes on banjo while Brickell sings in her airy voice, backed by mournful swells of strings from the Steep Canyon Rangers, an American bluegrass band from North Carolina. In 2013 their album Nobody Knows You won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. Martin, who last year finished a six-week music tour of cities in Canada and Europe, published his tour diaries on his website www.stevemartin.com. Martin noted, “I’m thrilled to share my innermost thoughts and feelings about my bluegrass tour. It’s a revealing look at the experience of performing live, the marvelous experiences I had playing banjo alongside the Steep Canyon Rangers, and the wonderful people I met along the way. Of course, I know the parts my fans will enjoy best will be the juicy, no-holds-barred accounts of life backstage, especially my bouts with indigestion!” Martin, born in 1945 in Waco, Texas, came to public notice as a writer for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and later became a frequent guest on The Tonight Show. In the 1970s, Martin performed his offbeat, absurdist comedy routines before packed houses on national tours. In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Martin at sixth place in a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics. Martin first picked up the banjo when he was around 17 years of age. He has claimed in several interviews and in his autobiography, Born Standing Up, that he used to take 33 rpm bluegrass records and slow them down to 16 rpm and tune his banjo down, so the notes would sound the same. Martin was able to pick out each note, and perfect his playing. The banjo was a staple of Martin’s 1970’s stand-up career, and he periodically poked fun at his love for the instrument. On the Comedy Is Not Pretty! album he included an all-instrumental jam, titled Drop Thumb Medley, and played the track on his 1979 concert tour. His final comedy album, The Steve Martin Brothers (1981), featured one side of Martin’s typical stand-up material, with the other side featuring live performances of Steve playing banjo with a bluegrass band. In 2009, Martin released his first all-music album, The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo with appearances from stars such as Dolly Parton. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2010. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member John McEuen produced the album. Martin made his first appearance on The Grand Ole Opry on May 30, 2009. In the American Idol season eight finals, he performed alongside Michael Sarver and Megan Joy in the song Pretty Flowers.

Grit & Grizzle

literally stumbled upon the Grit & Grizzle local band at a recent Bend Artwalk. Onlookers had gathered in the square near Drake Park next to Crow’s Feet and were dancing, cheering and trying to figure out where this incredible group of musicians had been dropped from. It’s pretty awesome when you discover they emerged right here in Central Oregon and recently released their first CD. Grit & Grizzle is lit up with Tim Lindgren (stand up bass), Tyler Canfield (banjo, vocals, harmonica) and Gabriel Juarez (guitar, vocals). The young group of talent explains that they were “born on the high deserts of Oregon and proudly present to us “growling vocals, spine tinglin’ banjo and a heart-throbbin’ bass. Come get a taste of our boot-stompin,’ knee-slappin,’ finger-lickin,’ true blue, backporch music on the streets of downtown Bend.” Their favorite studied artists include Bela Fleck, Earl Scruggs, The Devil Makes Three, Moon Mountain Ramblers, Trampled By Turtles, Johnny Cash and Lester Flatts. There’s no doubt that if you have any beat in you at all you’ll want to dance to this groovy band, but listening to their original songs, soulful rendering country rhythm and rough-edged vocals will keep you engaged long after you’re tired of gyrating. Join me in celebrating Grit & Grizzle’s rich musical heritage. www.reverbnation.com/ gritandgrizzle. by Pamela Hulse Andrews

Music Notes

Old Dogs Can Learn New Chords

by JEANNEMARIE HALLECK of Cascade School of Music

Terpsichorean Dance Studio

389-5351

For the past decade, “one of the best tribute shows in the world” (Rolling Stone Magazine) has celebrated and recreated the look, sound and attitude of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the entire legendary band. The live, twohour concert spans the group’s 50-year career, with all their classic hits, and features authentic costumes from the band’s different eras.

espite the old adage, learning, or re-learning, to play an instrument is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have in adulthood. Distanced from parental expectations and scholastic requirements, the adult relationship to learning an instrument is more often about a sincere passion for music, fulfilling a life-long dream or the desire to be part of a musical community. With limited practice time due to busy schedules, the adult students at Cascade School of Music have to get creative. Adults recognize that learning to do something well takes time and patience; that commitment means more than being present – it is about practice and investment and the reward of small milestones. As an adult, musicianship has little room for competition. It is about building a relationship with others, and about trusting one’s ability to learn and grow. Making music is about taking risks, and the result of such personal investment is profound. Music provides a creative outlet, constructive time to oneself and the opportunity to create music with peers. It is about personal fulfillment and teamwork. And most of all, it is about the thrill of learning to play music well. At Cascade School of Music, our adult classes are taught in manageable tenweek terms, with reasonable expectations and plenty of opportunities for flexibility and growth. We recognize that the value of music education in adulthood is too important to create barriers, and so we work hard to make sure that our programs are accessible, inspiring and fun for adults. Where some of our students seek individual instruction, others desire to learn in a group setting, to add a level of camaraderie to the musical experience. It is not about the venue, or even about the instrument – it is mostly about providing the opportunity for adults to fulfill the dream of becoming a musician. Trust us – it is never too late to learn!

New Perspective For August by Eileen Lock

orward motion is the theme this month and it starts right out with a jump forward on the 1st. Faith will be very important as we find the new way of doing things. Life will make a little more sense on the 4th and by the New Moon on the 6th you will be able to find the time to integrate what you have learned. Big opportunities are available during this time and it will be necessary to let go of old ideas and open your heart to a new approach. Recognize any apprehension that you have about speaking up near the 10th and realize confrontations are possible. Step up during the next few days and hold steady with an open heart. Release all judgment about others and you will find resolution by the 14th. There’s a shift of the heart on the 16th and it may be time to take a deep breath. The Full Moon on the 20th is surrounded by expansive opportunities, change and healing. Open your mind to the possibilities on the 22nd and listen with your heart to what is being said. The 24th is a turning point in relationships and a perfect time to visualize how you want to live your life. Make a statement on the 27th and be ready to move forward. Agreements over the next few days are cooperative and will inspire healing. Letting go of the past on the 29th makes space for what is new. Make a wish on the 30th and be willing to let it come true. www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com.
