Are You Kidding Me?

ingo Star in Bend, Oregon. The famous Beatle drummer (singer/songwriter/actor) performed last month at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, his only performance in Oregon. How did we get so lucky? Bill Smith informs me that it was Marney Smith (manager of the Amphitheater) and Monqui Productions that lured him here with an Oregon only play. But how did he get so lucky? Ringo performed during a spectacular summer evening on the banks of the Deschutes River to a packed, exuberant audience with the majestic Cascades and Old Mill smokestacks framing the landscape. I have a feeling he was impressed with our little town!

the Ed Sullivan show. During the celebration Ringo rocked the house with his spirited energy (he’s a young 74 for sure), charm, showmanship...and his All-Starr Band members. Since 1989, Starr has toured with twelve variations of his band, where “everybody on stage is a star in their own right.”

Ringo is a living legend whose contribution to rock and roll is immeasurable, not only as a Beatle, but also through his prolific and thriving solo career.

You can argue about who the favorite Beatle should be, but Ringo was very influential in creating Beatlemania during the ‘60s until the band broke up in 1970. During live performances, the Beatles created the Starr Time routine that was popular among his fans: Lennon would place a microphone in front of Starr’s kit in preparation for his spotlight moment and audiences would erupt in screams.

Cocktail Collection

People only look at me as a Beatle, but my friends look at me as a whole person. That’s how life works, but it’s not bugging me anymore. Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it and it was all over eight years later. ~ Ringo Starr

This year Ringo’s gifted band members include Steve Lukather original lead guitarist for the rock band Toto, Gregg Rolie one of the founding members of the band Santana, Todd Rundgren from the bands Nazz, Utopia and The New Cars, Richard Page lead singer and bassist of 80’s band Mr. Mister, Warren Ham vocalist, saxophonist, flutist from Fort Worth, Texas who formed The Ham Brothers Band and David Lee Roth rock vocalist, songwriter, actor, author, former radio personality OLDCalifornia-based MILL DISTRICT currently lead singer of the Southern 541.389.6655 hard rock band Van Halen.

Ringo sang lead vocals with the Beatles on only a few songs, but songs many remember the words to including With a Little Help from My Friends, Yellow Submarine and Act Naturally. He also wrote the Beatles’ songs Don’t Pass Me By and Octopus’s Garden.

I might not have taken such notice of him leading to enthusiastic anticipation of this concert had it not been for the February 9, 2014 performance on CBS celebrating 50 years to the date that the Beatles performed on

There were few people in the audience at the Les Schwab concert under 30, but babyboomers do know their music and loved the British Invasion. It was particularly nice to have a little slice of it here in Bend.

encore Lise Hoffman-McCabe Painting in Monet’s Garden

Photo courtesy of Lise Hoffman-McCabe

Lise Hoffman-McCabe, a local plein air pastel artist, was recently invited by a group of artists in France to paint with them in Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France. Artists are only allowed to set up easels and paint in the garden after hours or when the garden is closed to the public so that the large numbers of tourists are not competing for the views and space on the walkways. It is very desirable to get permission to paint there, only selected artists are allowed by the Foundation Claude Monet. Monet’s Gardens were created by and taken care of for years by the great artist Claude Monet. The garden contains the famous “water lily” ponds and the arched bridges that have become an icon in the art world. Hoffman-McCabe’s paintings from the gardens will be on display at Red Chair Gallery in the fall.

And fortunately they are spread out throughout the month, so you may just want to hit them all! Head to Sunriver for the Sunriver Quilt Show and Sale on August 2, or the Sunriver Art Faire August 8-10. An annual event since 1988, Mountain Meadow Quilters will display over 100 quilts in The Village at Sunriver along with music by the Notables Swing Band.

With the theme, A Season of Love, the music of love will infuse each concert from Brahms to Mendelssohn to Beethoven and the remarkable voice of Storm Large. Love the charm of Sisters? The 19th annual Country Fair & Art Show on August 8 and 9 at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration is sure to please the whole family. Head to Sisters for the juried art show, silent auction, book sale, children’s activities, music, food and more.

Giving Back Through Art

The High Desert Art League Supports New Cancer Center

Lise Hoffman-McCabe, Rita Dunlavy, Linda Heisserman & Dee McBrien-Lee

Happy Anniversary Red Chair Gallery

The Red Canoe by Richard Frederick

t. Charles Medical Center has long recognized the positive effect of art on the healing process, so it is no surprise that the new St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend will integrate art into all areas of the building. It is also not a surprise that the High Desert Art League (HDAL), a long time participant in the hospital’s art exhibitions has stepped up to support the project. Each of the High Desert Art League’s 12 members has generously donated works of their art to the Cancer Center’s permanent collection. “It is our way of contributing to the community, and supporting the healing process of patients in the center,” said Vivian Olsen, the Art League’s president. “We have had a tremendous amount of support from St. Charles and the community; we just want to say thank you.” “This new center has a commitment to supporting the “whole person needs” of cancer patients and their families in Central and Eastern Oregon. We desire to not only provide innovative high quality care but we also want to meet the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of our patients. A critical aspect of creating this environment is the exhibition of art,” stated Allison McCormick, senior director of St. Charles Cancer Center/Research. “Artwork can help reduce stress and provide a needed escape from the challenges of cancer treatment.” The Cancer Center is partnering with local artists to obtain permanent works as well as commissioning rotating art exhibits from community artists. “The High Desert Art League has contributed significantly in our efforts to obtain art. These works will be prominently displayed throughout the building for patients and caregivers to enjoy. I want to thank HDAL for their generous donation and support of our patients throughout their cancer journeys,” added McCormick. The $12.9 million cancer center, slated for completion next summer, will combine St. Charles’ services into one efficient footprint. Designed from the ground up with patient, family, staff and community input, the new building is designed for maximum collaboration and efficiency. An artist’s reception and opening will be held August 14 to celebrate the opening of the new St. Charles Cancer Center and to honor the participating artists. www.stcharleshealthcare.org, www.highdesertartleague.com

ew would have thought the heart of the recession would be a good time to open a gallery, but a group of ceramic artists got together to develop a plan for a space to display their craft. That idea blossomed into the very successful Red Chair Gallery you see today. Location was the determining factor when the original partners began to plan how to move the project forward. The O’Kane Building in downtown Bend was ideal with its corner location, huge windows, open floor-plan and stoplight. Once the space was secured, the search for artists commenced. Renowned local artist, Pat Clark was asked to assist in the jurying process. There was huge response from area artists when the process began. After final jurying, the tally was 19 wall artists and 23 three dimensional artists. Works included painting, photography, jewelry, pottery and more. With the beginnings in place, the plan for the gallery took shape and the Red Chair Gallery opened its doors on First Friday, August 2010. The response was overwhelmingly positive and that first evening over 75 bottles of wine were served. To this day, First Fridays continue to be a huge success. The gallery is comprised of four partner/owners including Rita Dunlavy, finance; Linda Heisserman, membership; Lise Hoffman-McCabe, marketing and Dee McBrien-Lee, gallery director. “It has been a wild ride so far!” says McBrien-Lee. “Change is something we are always dealing with and what keeps us fresh and interesting to both locals and tourists. The best part of this adventure is watching our artists evolve and try new things.” From the annual donation to the Bethlehem Inn at the holidays to the April Student Show, this little gallery is hard at work making sure that it has something for everyone. And like a great bottle of wine, the Red Chair Gallery just keeps improving with age. 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com

Lexicon of Sustainability Art Show

Randall Tillery Honored with A&E Award at Smith Rock Paint Out

ationally award winning artist Randall Tillery loves to paint all subject matter but finds that his love for nature makes landscape painting a natural transition. “I lived for years in the beautiful surroundings of the California Gold Country but have just recently moved to Sisters. I feel blessed to now live here and be able to capture the beauty that I see every time I turn around. Painting the beauty of nature is really a rather spiritual feeling for me. Being able to capture and interpret the beauty that I see in nature is indeed Morning in the Rock by Randall Tillery a gift that I hold precious.” Tillery works both in his studio and plein air (out of doors), “I enjoy the change from outdoors work to studio work, but I feel it is critical that I paint from life as much as possible to maintain the freshness in my paintings. Painting plein air allows me to see the subtle value and temperature changes that are hard to detect when not painting from life.” Randall has been selected and participated in many regional and national plein air events over the years including such prestigious shows as the Estes Park Show in Colorado, the Carmel Plein Air Art Festival and the San Luis Obispo event, both held in California. Tillery has been accepted into many regional and national shows through the years. A few of the more recent prestigious shows he has been accepted into include the 2013 American Impressionist Society’s National Show held in Charleston, South Carolina, the 2013 Oil Painters of America Western Regional Exhibition held in Topeka, Kansas and the 2014 Artists Guild National Show at the Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tillery’s ability to capture the emotionally charged beauty of the scenes he paints has not gone unnoticed. His paintings have won many awards, regionally as well as nationally; in addition they have been used for magazine covers, and featured in the Best of American Landscape Artists book as well as being recently featured in Western Art Collector magazine. Tillerys work can be seen at Donterra Gallery - Sisters; American Visions Gallery, Folsom, California; and Brian Scott Gallery, Brookings, Oregon. www.artbytillery.com, artbytillery@yahoo.com

ood JUJU, a new Bend company bringing together technology and art, has launched its new iOS 7 Creative App in the Apple Store. The new app, called JUJU, is a creative platform that gives users a fun, new, art-based visual language for expressing themselves when words just don’t do the trick. “In today’s technology-driven world, it’s easy to lose sight of things like creativity and art,” said JUJU Founder and Visual Artist, Julia Junkin. “This app brings the two worlds together in a very approachable, accessible way that everyone–from the creatives to those who don’t think of themselves as creative–can all play with and make something cool.” As an incubator of creativity through visual art, JUJU enables users to pull art samples from portfolios of fine artists and combine them into sharable works of art. For example, if a user would like to text Happy Birthday or Good Night then they use JUJU to visually remix artists’ works to send art via text as an image. JUJU can be downloaded on iPhones for free in the Apple Store, allowing users to collect packs with a curated library of artists’ works. While JUJU is a creative outlet for its users, JUJU is also a tool that supports artists from around the world. Local artists include photographers, illustrators, typographers, graphic designers and painters. Those featured in JUJU’s launch library include Bend’s own Dan Parsons, Adam Hayes, Alex Reisfar, Kelly Fleming, Mona Daly, Brian Daly, Tyler Roemer, Benjamin Kinzer, Natalie Puls, Tom Carson and JUJU co-owner, Julia Junkin––as well as many other talented visual artists from around the nation.

hrough August,The Environmental Center is hosting an ongoing pop-up art show of the Lexicon of Sustainability. This project is based on a simple principle: people can’t be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don’t know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability. By illuminating the vocabulary of sustainable agriculture, and with it, the conversation about America’s rapidly evolving food culture, the Lexicon of Sustainability educates, engages and activates people to pay closer attention to how they eat, what they buy and where their responsibility begins for creating a healthier, safer food system in America. The show will be hanging on the outside front porch and in the Audubon room, High Desert room and hallway of The Environmental Center through August. Take your time looking through the art, and when you are done, please answer our question: How are you Living the Green in Bend?

She will be featured as Dorothy singing the National Anthem at the Bend Elks home closer on August 10. Thanks to the theatre camp element, The Wizard of Oz will feature a number of Central Oregon families sharing the stage together for the first time. “It’s an amazing story on so many levels,” says DaCosta. “Our goal is always to bring people together by producing the highest level of theater in Central Oregon for them to enjoy. But with so many families coming together on stage for this classic show, we’ve taken it to a whole new level.” There is no shortage of storylines or talent with this production. Says DaCosta, “We are incredibly excited at Thoroughly Modern Productions to have developed a true partnership with the amazing people at Summit Theater. Expect the highest quality show. Expect surprises at every turn. Expect the time of your life enjoying this timeless classic.” A local production company that has grown rapidly since its debut in 2013, Thoroughly Modern Productions strives to inspire, nurture, challenge, educate and empower artists and audiences alike. TMP is an alternative performance company with a commitment to helping develop original theatre artists locally, serving the community by providing a wealth of theatrical experiences to people of all ages and abilities, fostering new works that examine our present through the past, and presenting theatre that is experienced actively, not passively.

Theatre & Flim

horoughly Modern Productions (TMP) is in the midst of rehearsals for a production of The Wizard of Oz on a scale that Central Oregon has never seen before. It’s all in preparation for the curtain going up for six shows August 22-31 at Bend’s Summit Theater, on the campus of Summit High. With a cast of nearly 70 actors, singers, dancers and musicians, The Wizard of Oz will fill nearly every inch of Summit’s massive stage and state-of-theart theatre with excitement. The driving force behind the production are members of the same creative team that delivered Monty Python’s Spamalot to record-breaking audiences at the Tower Theatre last Fall: David DaCosta, the show’s director and TMP’s artistic director, Musical Director Scott Michaelson and Dakota Weeda, choreography director. Together, they are working with a cast of some of Central Oregon’s most seasoned talent to bring this classic, now celebrating its 75th anniversary, to life. Along with a cast of adults, The Wizard of Oz will feature some of Central Oregon’s most talented youth. Currently enrolled in TMP’s Wizard of Oz Summer Theater Camp, nearly 40 children ages five to 16 will join the cast of adults in roles ranging from munchkins to flying monkeys to the lead role of Dorothy. Skylar Adams, a 16-year-old member of TMP’s Summer Theater Camp, earned the role of Dorothy by auditioning alongside the adults. “Skylar came out of nowhere, much like Dorothy herself when she landed in Oz, and surprised every one of us with her talent, spirit and energy,” says the show’s Producer, Gary Fulkerson. “It was quite a magical moment when we all looked across the table at each other and realized that our Dorothy was coming

Cascadia Concert Opera Presents Menotti’s The Old Maid & The Thief

ascadia Concert Opera will open its 2014 season with Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief on Saturday, August 9 at Pickney Performing Arts Center, Bend. Directed by Scott Carroll, this production will be presented fully staged with piano accompaniment. The Old Maid and the Thief is an American one-act opera about what lies beneath the seemingly innocuous charm of small-town life. A highly charged, emotional story, told through elegant and expressive melodies, Menotti’s comic opera explores the impact that a mysterious stranger has on three provincial women. Lives are forever changed as jealousies and deceptions escalate

Auditions for Reefer Madness the Musical

tage Right Productions and 2nd Street Theater will be casting Reefer Madness, the Musical, music by Dan Studney and lyrics by Kevin Murphy, inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name. Directed by Tom Atkinson with musical direction by Rick Buckley, audition dates and times are: Monday-Tuesday August 18-19 at 7pm (check in at 6:30pm) at 2nd Street Theater 220 NE Lafayette, Bend. Spun off from the 1936 propaganda film, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence. The addictive and clever musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing tunes like Down at the Ol’ Five and Dime and the Vegas-style Listen to Jesus, Jimmy, featuring J.C. himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels. This dynamic show will go straight to your head. Reefer Madness is

a highly stylized and satirical political commentary. It contains adult humor, religious parody and drug use references. It may be inappropriate for younger performers and audiences. “Audiences should expect to get a lot of laughs, but sometimes with that “I shouldn’t be laughing at this” feeling,” says Atkinson. “The music is brilliant not just because of its clever wordplay—Jesus sings, ‘I’m the face on the Shroud of Turin. Do I need to check your urine’—but also because of it’s satire, telling us that the powers that be, school, church and government will fear monger to control us—for our own good, of course. Don’t be surprised to be humming a tune from the play the next day; the tunes are very catchy.” Cast – 10-14 total: four men, three women, three-seven ensemble. Age range: 18-64. Performances: October 24-November 8. Character descriptions and audition information available at www.2ndstreettheater.com/ auditions-classes, 541-312-9626, 2ndstreettheater@gmail.com

n January 2013 local theatre veterans Mike Nowak, Brad Ruder and Scott Carroll met with Ray Solley of The Tower Theatre Foundation and proposed staging a community theatre production of the world renown, award winning musical, Les Misérables at the Tower. Since that time, Carroll has accepted a teaching position in Colorado, David Simpson, of Shore Thing Productions, has come on board as producer and Les Misérables has been scheduled to have its Central Oregon premiere when it opens on September 12 and runs for six performances. The production team for Les Misérables at the Tower includes OperaBend Co-Founders Jason Stein and Nancy Engebretson as music and vocal directors, Central Oregon Symphony Maestro Michael Gesme as conductor and Michelle Mejaski of Gotta

Rehersal for Les Misérables

Dance Studio and Company in Bend, as choreographer. The planning and pre-production process for Les Miz has been extensive. Auditions were held in November of last year, over 10 months before opening night. A record number 160 aspiring performers tried out for a role in the cast. Ultimately, 35 actor/singers were selected, ranging in age from eight to 60 plus, including some of Central Oregon’s finest classical singers and musical theatre veterans as well as first timers who have never previously appeared on stage in a theatrical production. Les Miz is a musical with no spoken dialogue. As a result, it requires not only singing skill, but vocal stamina from its cast members. In order to achieve the required level of performance, vocal rehearsals commenced in January with staging of the production beginning in June. Simpson said, “Everyone involved with this production is committed to bringing the highest quality possible to audiences

who come to see it at the Tower. It is going to be an exceptional show with memorable characters and some of the most beautiful music ever written for the theatre. It truly has everything.” Les Misérables, based on the novel by Victor Hugo, is an epic tale of passion and destruction that presents a powerful affirmation of redemption and the human spirit. The story is set in 19th century France, a nation in the grip of revolution, and focuses on convict Jean Valjean, who is on the run while being hunted relentlessly for breaking his parole by his adversary, Police Inspector Javert. Valjean has no choice but to fight for his life and sacrifice everything to honor the promises he has made and protect the people he loves. The musical has been seen by over 65 million people in over 42 countries. Tickets, 541-317-0700, www. towertheatre.org

Mytchell Mead’s Artist Journey

Arts

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor “For me the artist’s journey is an internal one. And the internal spaces are vast – and as every bit as full of mystery and unexplored territories as the outer universes. Art in all its forms are attempts to map or gain insight on this internal universe, something as critical for our species to understand as our impact on the outer world.” -Mytchell Mead

ontemporary Fine Artist Mytchell Mead has found becoming fully immersed in the present opens oneself up to the serendipitous nature of life, and thus, art. Through his varied past and internal journeys traveling the world in the tech-industry, studying nonwestern esoteric cosmologies and traveling the country by bike, Mead’s sculptural pieces not only build on his experiences, but reflect his openhearted approach to life, to adventure and to learning. Mead is the featured artist for August at Paul Scott Gallery in downtown Bend, and will be present at their First Friday ArtWalk reception on August 1. His journey to becoming a skilled sculptor began at an early age as Mead worked and learned alongside his father, a talented metal worker. After getting his MBA, he worked for a high-tech firm and traveled all over the world. “Trips to Japan gave me an appreciation for Eastern thought and art. Europe instilled a classical regiment and South America brought out the desire to draw in earth and craft elements,” he said. Following those experiences, Mead rode his bike cross country only to find himself laid off of his job upon his return. He spent the next five years interning with a yogi, meditating, learning Sanskrit chant and exploring ancient texts. “The content of study helped to assimilate the experiences from the bike trip, and the Just Right Now artwork seemed to come next of its own accord,” Mead explained. “What fascinated me in those cosmologies was that they barely differentiated between the internal and external experience; they just flowed from one to the other.” Mead’s flow lead him to open a bike shop in Seattle in the mid 1990s, conveniently located next to an artist-owned foundry. He soon found himself working in metal and within a year it became an impromptu gallery for

his work. However, a pivotal moment in his artistic career came when he and his future wife set off for a bike trip across the country in 1999. “We got to New Mexico, in the middle of nowhere in Santa Fe National Forest, to see this incredible house on the border of the park. Some millionaire built an earth ship that had been vacant for three years.” Mead climbed up to the house to find the owner there for the first time in years, and the gentleman offered the couple the opportunity to house-sit for the next two Mytchell Mead in his workshop years. The beautiful earth ship just happened to be perched above the little house of Alberto Jose Castagna, Argentinean sculpture and artist. “I got to know Alberto and spent several hours a day there over the next two years,” Mead explained. “In true classic form, Alberto first taught me to ‘see.’ He claimed that our eye is calibrated from birth for dimension, proportion, balance and relation by the human form.” His experience learning under Castagna lead to Mead’s philosophy: when the artist’s eye and skills are honed, all effort becomes Openly Complete a clear channel for the flow of creativity. “[I found] if you just step off the cliff and let yourself fall, you will be caught. It’s pouring that into the artwork day, by day, by day,” Mead explained, “that’s always what I need to do, I don’t need to look too far, or plan; what happens will happen at the right time.” Since that time in New Mexico, Mead and his family moved to John Day, Oregon and he has been working primarily with sculptural forms of metal and wood. He gravitates towards abstract forms in his work, stating, “When you take something that is outside of words, or abstract…it takes you outside the thinking mind. It forces you into a place of growth. “Many of my works explore the horizon line – very common in abstract art – but for me it’s about the merging of the two. Often there is a space at the joining point, where the ethereal meets the manifest, and for me this is a place to reside. It is here that we can draw from imagination to create in the manifest. It is the seat of creativity.” Mead is represented by Paul Scott Gallery in Bend and a variety of other galleries around the west. “I was drawn to the natural and historic elements of wood he uses in his work, and how he transforms the color and texture of the steel,” said Paul Scott Gallery Director Kim Matthews. Mead’s creativity leads him to constantly explore, and to relish everything about the process; recently he has started working with color and encaustics. “I’m always working to increase my curiosity and being an artist is nothing else if it’s about opening up that can of curiosity and letting it pour.” www.mytchell.com, M@Mytchell.com Download the CascadeAE App | August 2014

Art of the West Exhibit at High Desert Museum

Kicks off 25th Anniversary of Rendezvous

nce again the High Desert Museum is unveiling a stunning collection of western-inspired art, both traditional and contemporary, in the Museum’s annual Art of the West exhibition. The exhibit and silent auction for Art of the West opened July 31 with an artists’ reception and culminates on August 23 at the annual High Desert Rendezvous. “This year we will showcase works by several artists who haven’t exhibited with us before, including Caely Brandon from San Francisco, Julie Oriet from Wyoming and Sherry Salari Sander from Montana,” said Faith Powell, curator of collections at the High Desert Museum. “We also have Travis Humphreys from Utah and some local favorites, including Marty Stewart of Bend.” Art of the West features more than 30 paintings and sculptures from wellknown regional and local artists. The public is invited to view the work and

Painting Oregon’s Harvest

Cover Story

The Art of Kathy Deggendorfer Opens August 30 at the High Desert Museum

Hood River Fruit Loop in Full Bloom by Kathy Deggendorfer

Drawn to the stories of the people and the land, she found one of the most resonating experiences came from her trip to the Gilkerson Orchards in Hood River. “Patty Gilkerson is of Japanese descent and [shared that] she had been sent to an internment camp during World War II, but she still came back to Hood River after that experience and raised cherries with her son. Often great stories go hand in hand with the landscape.” Deggendorfer has found plenty of inspiration while traveling all over the state. “The trip to Bandon to paint cranberries was a visual explosion,” she exclaimed. “That blue sky over the coastal range, and the coastal pines and acres of brilliant floating red cranberries was real eye candy. It was so fun to go down there.” Her piece on the cover of Cascade A&E, painted at the Imperial Stock Ranch in Shaniko, was created using the color pallet of the yarn the ranch makes each year; custom colored to reflect the ranch’s unique high-desert landscape, the wool is specially milled without harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures and lends to a rich range of 29 different colors. An opening reception with Deggendorfer will be held at the Museum on Thursday, August 28 at 6pm and is free to the public. In addition to the art exhibition, a culinary event will be a special treat. The Museum will host Deggendorfer and Chef TR McCrystal from Jen’s Garden in Sisters. The Harvest Dinner, slated for Saturday, October 4, will honor the farmers and ranchers involved in the new exhibit. “This dinner and exhibition is a rare opportunity to increase exposure for the farmto-market movement and help these local producers thrive,” said Faith Powell, exhibit curator. “Kathy is very passionate about promoting the farms and ranches of Oregon, and TR McCrystal is passionate about cooking with local ingredients. It’s going to be amazing.” The Harvest Dinner is expected to sell out fast. See the Museum website for more information. www.highdesertmuseum. org/harvest-dinner Photo by Russ Eaton

by RENEE PATRICK, Cascade A&E Editor athy Deggendorfer’s popular watercolors have been called “whimsical, happy and vibrant,” and her upcoming exhibit at the High Desert Museum, Painting Oregon’s Harvest, is best described as delicious. For the last several years Deggendorfer has been travelling throughout Oregon capturing scenes that revolve around locally grown food. Included are images from Eastern Oregon ranches, Willamette Valley vineyards and berry farms, Hood River orchards, costal fishing ports and even a distillery in Central Oregon. The result is a collection of paintings that will make your mouth water; brilliant marionberries from Stahlbush Island Farms, Rocky Knoll pears ripening on the tree, sheep and cattle grazing in the fields, salmon and crab from Fishhawk Fisheries in Astoria, plus a bounty of other homegrown delights from around the state. “The whole concept of the series is about celebrating Oregon farmers,” Deggendorfer said. “A few years ago I got invited to stay with a farm family in Illinois and paint, and [saw that Illinois] had completely given over to corporate farming. It was a shock to the system,” she explained. “I decided I needed to use my art to tell the story of Oregon farming, of our love of the land…and I came up with a concept to paint a 12 course meal.” Deggendorfer began her tour of Oregon with Kathy Deggendorfer a trip to the vineyards in the Dundee, Oregon area to paint plein air at Sokol Blosser and Red Ridge Farms. “I painted for three days and the wine makers took us out to dinner; we sat around harvest table and talked about how each of us came to this passion… part of my whole idea is to talk to people, to get the essence of [why they farm].” Other trips included painting peaches in Kimberly, cranberries in Bandon, cherries in Hood River and sheep in Shaniko. “Mostly my criteria was that it had to be farms that were actually producing things people could buy. The concept was I would help them tell the story through my art.”

end’s Old Mill District is home to the nationally recognized Art in the High Desert, an annual juried fine arts and crafts show and one of Central Oregon’s signature events. Now in it’s seventh year, Art in the High Desert brings artists from across North America to Central Oregon to sell their art and share their stories with our community for three days each August: August 22-24, 10am-6pm. This year, the village of white tents that pop up on the banks of the Deschutes River will feature a record number of Oregon, and Central Oregon artists. Nearly 460 applicants applied for the 110 spots in the show, carefully juried and charged with going above and beyond the usual in the creation and presentation of handmade, original arts and crafts. Artists are coming from 19 states and British Columbia and 50 Oregon artists from all parts of the state. “Central Oregon has a wealth of artistic talent and is well represented this year in a variety of mediums,” says Show Director Carla Fox. The list of local artists includes Danae Bennet-Miller, Darryl Cox, Carla Fox, Linda Heisserman, Zack Schnepf, Jason Waldron, Cameron Kaseberg and Kim Chavez. Art in the High Desert can rightly brag about a few other things as well, one of which is a recent national ranking of 14th in sales nation-wide. The show can also brag a little on the number of artists who have appeared on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat. Nearly 10 percent, including Danae Bennet-Miller, Carla Fox, Cameron Kaseberg, Grayson Malone, Kimberly Morris, Patrick Noe, Maria Simon, Jason Waldon and Jeff White. “Over half of the artists this year will be new to the show and all bring with them a wealth of stories, accolades and amazing art,” says Fox. The accolades Carla speaks of include the skyrocketing fame of furniture maker Greg Klassen who has been the talk of national magazines, interviewed by Martha Stewart, and recently had his River Table Collection go globally viral via the internet. www.artinthehighdesert.com

Imaginative Jewelry Handcrafted in the Heart of Bend by ALLISON DALEY, Cascade A&E Editorial Intern

Rhoads has been involved in the arts his entire life, enjoying everything from drawing and painting to sculpting and wood carving. Currently in the 12th year of his career, he has extensive training including his study of fine arts at Iowa State University, followed by a goldsmith apprenticeship in Waterloo, Waylon Rhoads Iowa.

There he learned old, unused pieces of techniques such as wax carving, casting sil- jewelry ver and gold and laser welding, which he has now spent over 20,000 hours mastering. After moving to Bend with his family, Rhoads worked as a retail goldsmith for several companies. In 2012, he opened his own shop in downtown Bend at 835 NW Bond St., Suite 200. Rhoads offers numerous jewelry services including repair and restoration, custom design, up-cycle services, hand engraving and gemstone and diamond identification. He also provides these services to other local jewelry store owners, which serves as the “backbone” of his own business. Rhoads has a distinct approach, intentionally creating each piece with the specific customer in mind. “There is nothing to enjoy, nothing special about mass produced jewelry,” he

ave piles of jewelry sitting untouched at home? Wish you had one amazing piece you’d wear every day? Waylon Rhoads could be just what you’re looking for. Rhoads owns a local jewelry business in addition to being a young father and the vice president of Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild (COMAG). He describes himself as a classically trained goldsmith who is “expanding what is possible” in custom fine jewelry.

commented. Because he makes each piece from start to finish, he can meet nearly any request. Rhoads encourages collaboration with his customers; involving them in the process allows him to turn their visions into reality. “I was told I don’t have a ‘style’ and that’s ok...I want every piece to be unique,” he explained. Valuing quality over quantity, Rhoads will take as much time is needed, spending anywhere from 25-50 hours on a single piece. “It’s a part of my life that I’ve given to [an] object. That’s my way of immortalizing what I do...by making stuff that lasts longer,” he said.

While he’s the youngest fine jeweler in town, Rhoads hopes to “bring back [the] finer art” more commonly found centuries ago. He’s inspired by limestone carvings on Buddhist temples, Victorian era embellishments and gun engravings. There was “an unparalleled attention to detail [back then],” Rhoads said. He is deliberate in getting the details right, even using a microscope in his shop. Although he’s now rooted in Bend, Rhoads has customers from all over the U.S. With a large Facebook following of over 9,000 likes, he is earning popularity and working to become a well-known name in the luxury jewelry industry. Rhoads hopes to grow his business to the point he’s manufacturing on a larger scale and sharing his passion with the next generation. So, if you find yourself tired of buying ordinary jewelry that clutters your closet, look into Waylon Rhoads and the possibility of creating a beautiful piece that will last forever.

Rhoads is inspired by limestone carvings on Buddhist temples, Victorian era embellishments and gun engravings, as seen in this cuff.

An Artistic Journey from Cascade Fine Art Workshops on the Rogue River by RENEE PATRICK, Cascade A&E Editor

back to the starting point, packing materials for art supplies and equipment, lodging, food, beverages, informal art instruction and demonstrations. “As James said, it’s like taking a ‘cruise’ on the Rogue River!” Manley exclaimed. “[The trip highlights] the joy, adventure and beauty that the river can offer,” said Kinker. “[As] trained interpretive river guides who are deeply committed and connected to this magnificent place, we routinely share our inspiration and find that by building an awareness of all the interconnectedness of our wild surroundings that the benefits make for peak experiences and memorable, even life changing effects. This is not only great for our participants, but is also extremely rewarding for us as we compose with nature a perfect experience.” The inclusive five day trip is $1,697, maximum of 20. Spots still available. Sue Manley 541408-5524, www.cascadefineartworkshops.com, info@cascadefineartworkshops.com Photos courtesy of James Sampsel

eep blue pools, exciting whitewater and long summer days will frame the unique workshop opportunity on the Rogue River with Cascade Fine Art Workshops. Raft Guides and Professional Artists James Sampsel and David Kinker will lead a group of adventurous students both on the river and with their paint brushes August 30-September 3. “The Rogue lends inspiration so naturally you almost forget anything before the trip or how you got there,” Sampsel said. “It’s the perfect setting to release and be one with your surroundings and medium…There is a wonderful balance of time spent on the boats relaxing, photographing, and if desired, paddling, and time translating your media.” Cascade Fine Art Workshops Owner, Sue Manley devised the creative adventure after hearing about a similar workshop the two raft guides conducted for ROW Adventures in 2013. “When David told me about the 2013 trip - with raft guides doing all the work while the guests painted in the morning and evenings, staying in lodges, all the food and beverages included and hanging out with artists - it sounded like my idea of heaven! “We decided to promote the idea that the trip would focus on plein air painting, but also emphasize it being open to anyone interested in expanding their creative sides: writers, photographers, etc.,” Manley explained. “My husband is an avid fly fisherman, and says he feels most creative when on the water, so all ‘significant others’ are welcome too!” ROW Adventures will be collaborating with Cascade Fine Art Workshops this year and together will provide rafting gear, guides, shuttle service

Billye Turner began exhibitions at the Sunriver Resort in August 1995 with a show of Central Oregon oil landscapes by Ann Ruttan. Following the success of the exhibition, management invited her to create exhibitions for the resort on a regular basis. Turner continues to work as an independent art consultant with the Resort since that time.

In addition to presenting exhibitions, Sunriver Resort engaged Turner to assist in appraising the John and Betty Gray collection of artwork. Art from the Gray’s collection, begun in the mid-1960’s, still appears throughout the facility. The resort also worked with the art consultant in choosing pieces for its ongoing collection displayed in the Sunriver Lodge, Crosswater, Sage Springs Spa and Caldera. Sunriver Resort invites the public to join the artists’ reception on Friday evening, August 8, as well as the exhibition at the Lodge, open all hours.

n a creative blizzard of white wood chips, master chainsaw sculptor and world-class artist Skip Armstrong conjured up the spirit of Mother Earth during the Oak Street Block Party in downtown Sisters on June 20. The medium was a canted, 12-foot pine tree trunk left over from a tree-trimming procedure last Spring between The Clearwater Gallery and Sisters Coffee Company. Residents and visitors gathered to sample coffees and teas and watch the wizardry of Armstrong as he transformed the bare Ponderosa pine tree into a majestic embodiment of nature with chainsaws, Dremel tools and a wildly potent imagination. Elegantly created in the style of old-fashioned sailing ship figureheads, the nude goddess gazes into the sky, adorned and enveloped in owls, wolves, cougars, otters and a butterfly. “I call it She’s Cloaked in Wisdom as a nod to the wise owls,” said Armstrong, stopping his wood-shaving machines for a moment to regard his inspiring sculpture. “She’s a personification of Mother Earth as a sort of Gaia princess and the beautiful Earth Ship we’re living on. “It’s also the wisdom born in nature and the wildness we need to preserve. I’m going to leave it chainsaw-rough and let it emerge from the tree. I may even toss in a fish or two to cover all the basic phyla of our Earth and all of its passengers.” Armstrong spent over 16 hours manifesting the awe-inspiring statue as onlookers marveled at the detail and design of his impressive Mother Earth. The project was partially funded and supported by The Clearwater Gallery and Sisters Coffee Company. When completed, the pine sculpture was finished with multiple coats of a basic transparent oil to seal, protect and preserve the natural color. “I wanted to bring us back to Na-

Redmond Community Concert Assoc. New Season Unveiled

he Redmond Community Concert Assoc. (RCCA) is gearing up for its 2014-15 season of five concerts which runs from October to April. About to begin its 31st season, RCCA will continue to present quality live entertainment at an affordable cost to the Central Oregon community. For the opening show on October 19, RCCA will present the Broadway Tenors featuring musical theatre’s best leading men. They will transport the audience to the New York stage to enjoy some of Broadway’s most beloved hits including songs from Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, South Pacific and many more. Victoria Robertson, an accomplished and verBroadway Tenors satile soprano, will be featured on November 16. Her show ranges from classical to pop and everything in between. She has appeared with numerous symphony orchestras and was Miss USO for seven years -- you can expect some patriotic songs as well. Next in the lineup is the Swingle Singers appearing February 22. This amazing acappella group of young and talented voices push the

boundaries of what the human voice can achieve by making their voices sound like musical instruments. Arriving from New York City will be Shotgun Wedding, slated for March 15. They will entertain the audience with standards by Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams and others. The season will close on April 19 with Quartetto Gelato. Their genre ranges from classical to folk with unique interpretations that are full of musical beauty, sophistication and surprises. Tickets by season subscriptions only; five performances $60 for adults, $25 for students under 21 and $125 for a family with students. Loie Boero, RCCA president, advises, “We often sell out, so I urge the community to purchase their tickets soon. Because seats are not reserved, late subscribers have the same chance to secure good seats. RCCA is able to keep its subscription cost affordable because it’s an allvolunteer, non-profit organization. Boero said. “We have more than 40 dedicated volunteers in addition to many generous patrons and advertisers who support us.” All performances are held at Ridgeview High School’s Performing Arts Theatre in Redmond. Concert times are 2pm and 6:30pm. www.redmondcca.org, 541-350-7222 Download the CascadeAE App | August 2014

Butch’s Place Peak Summer Nights Series

Photo from the-both.com

he Butch’s Place Peak Summer Nights series at the Athletic Club of Bend boasts several highly touted artists/musicians including John Butler Trio on August 8 and Aimee Mann and Ted Leo (The Both) on August 28. John Butler Trio The contradictions in John Butler are evident, and, despite his magnificently successful career (with number one albums in Australia and sell-out tours) his is a troubled soul. One of the most successful recording artists Australia has ever produced and a musician whose reputation has begun to rock the waters of both Europe and America, Butler is nevertheless a man on the edge, poised like a beautiful catastrophe. Where will he go next? Up or down? Despite the tensions within the man and his music the new album makes his future trajectory abundantly clear. Their off-centre grooves have always been their charm, and yet now there is a sense, in his latest album Flesh and Blood, of resolution and peace after years of being against the world and what it offered. Aimee Mann & Ted Leo of The Both The Both represents the pairing of two great if underappreciated talents who go great together. When the two artists toured together in 2012, Leo’s solo sets inspired Mann, the headliner, to hop onstage with him. From there, the 11 original songs on The Both were written with a back-and-forth process. Leo’s roots are in the punk and indie movements, having fronted Ted Leo and the Pharmacists for 15 years. His most recent set, The Brutalist Bricks, was released on Matador in 2010. Mann’s eighth album, Charmer, was released in September 2012. In support of their new disc, The Both are touring the U.S. this summer, and are playing in Bend for the first time. The Both Opener will begin at 6:30pm and the headliner will follow at 7:30pm. General admission is on sale now at Newport Avenue Market or 541- 382-3940. Dinner tickets are on sale at the Athletic Club of Bend, 541-385-3062

Music City Roots journalist Craig Havighurst calls Cooper “delightful, twinkly, impassioned and on the make.”
