Temper Your Life with Adventure Going back to Africa after all this time, there’s the excitement of a first adventure. I love Africa and I feel it’s another home, and any time a man can feel that, not counting where he’s born, is where he’s meant to go.” - Papa Hemingway

hen you think of adventure your thoughts might lead to Ernest Hemingway, a commanding presence in the literary world. His works are masterpieces of American literature but pale in comparison to his real life. His exploits are legendary filled with grand adventures. I don’t have to look far from home as I think of adventure, as our own Renee Patrick who has served as editor of Cascade A&E for the past four years, embarks on her own form of adventure: completing the Triple Crown of hiking trails in the United States with the 3,000 mile Continental Divide Trail (CDT). Renee had a different kind of adventure when she joined the staff at A&E entering into a new world of art, culture and publishing. She excelled at it as I am sure she will on the Continental Divide where she’ll become a supreme hiker and keeping to her creative side, a blogger whose mission will be to share the story of the trail and protect America’s wildest and most remote long distance trail. Over the past decades I’ve had a few adventures of my own that are only slightly similar to Renee’s from hiking Pacific Crest trails, climbing to the top all the mountain peaks in Oregon, running all the rivers and ascending Mt. St. Helens both before it blew up and after. But today my adventures are focused on art, culture and travel. Last week I was in Great Falls, Montana where the renowned Charlie Russell Museum resides with more than 2,000 Russell artworks, personal objects and artifacts. Russell created thousands of paintings of cowboys, Indians and landscapes set

in the West and Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. Visiting such an out of the way small town as Great Falls was an interesting sojourn, but being a part of the Russell annual fundraiser was supreme (it was co-chaired by two Oregonians Gail Hayes-Davis of Bend and Christina Blackwell). Implausible historic and contemporary Western art was the focus of the Russell Live Auction offering 158 beautiful works of art by contemporary and deceased artists, along with 10 pieces by Charles M. Russell. The highlight of the evening was the sale of the Charles M. Russell For Supremac, which brought $1.5 million with the evening’s sales topping $5.6 million. (All by itself Russell’s 1918 painting Piegans sold for $5.6 million at a 2005 auction.) While Renee is hiking the Continental Divide and we’re hearing her stories from her blog, tales we hope are just interesting and not hair-raising, I am off to another journey far removed from the Western culture of Charlie Russell and his collectors to the New Orleans Jazz Festival, music extravaganza for sure. There is so much to explore and experience in this world and fortunately many of those you can find close to home...meeting fascinating people, savoring new cuisine, listening to all sorts of music and taking in majestic landscapes. Here’s to your next adventure and to Renee on hers!

Bend Artists Changing Nature in Cannon Beach Central Oregon artists Lloyd McMullen and Tara Doherty have been invited to transform Cannon Beach Arts Association Gallery into a small biosphere for the month of April. The installation, Changing Nature, expands upon the butterfly effect: that every action no matter how Learning to Build, small has global consequences. by Lloyd McMullen An artist reception on April 4, 5-7pm will include a short talk by the artists. Exhibit thru April 26. The Changing Nature installation is bounded by a wall of two and three-dimensional mixed media artwork made with found objects and cast-off materials surrounded by large hanging cocoons/nests. Phillip Ruder Joins High Desert Chamber Music Board High Desert Chamber announced the addition of celebrated violinist Phillip Ruder to the board of advisors. He is well-known to the Central Oregon community as the former concertmaster of Sunriver Music Festival and on a national level as concertmaster of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for 21 years. After retiring from his faculty position at the University of Phillip Ruder Nevada, Reno, and the Reno Philharmonic, he now calls Bend home.

Ruder is the second addition to the Board of Advisors, a group of members that act as ambassadors and advocates of High Desert Chamber Music’s (HDCM) mission. He joins Mark L. Mintz from Merrill Lynch and former HDCM board president. The current board of directors includes President Bill Riser, Secretary Andy Kizans (AT&T), Treasurer Rick Samco and Directors Julie Kennedy Cochran, Matt Falkenstein (Shevlin Dental Center), Vince Mercurio, Pat Rogers and Francis Senger (Mission Building). History Rides in the 75th Anniversary Rodeo Poster Sisters Rodeo 75th Anniversary poster art was unveiled at this month’s meeting of the Sisters Rodeo Association. The Dennis McGregor poster depicts the era of the first of Sisters Rodeo in 1940. The saddle bronc cowboy is reminiscent of mustached characters of the old West, dressed in a throwback loose-fitting shirt and baggy dungarees. The painting clarifies why McGregor has become a premier poster artist in Central Oregon. The richness of stars in a blue-black sky above sundown colors over the Dennis McGregor’s 75th Anniv. Poster Three Sisters sets off the boldness of the sorrel Paint horse and its rider. There is detailed accuracy in the gear, from the horse’s halter to the horsehair rope gripped by the cowboy. Sisters Rodeo will begin June 10 with Xtreme Bulls followed by four rodeo performances June 12-14.

Sunriver Writers’ Summit Prepared to Settle Only for Exceptional

he Sunriver Writers’ Summit debuts May 2-3. Seeking writers prepared to settle only for exceptional in their pursuit of publication success, the Summit is an extension of the renowned Southern California Writers’ Conference (SCWC), which has facilitated over $4 million worth of first-time authors’ book and screen deals over the past 29 years. The Summit’s focus is on elevating the quality of storytelling-from craft and execution through

completed book presentation to a level that immediately distinguishes itself in an everexpanding marketplace, already saturated with lackluster titles. Sunriver Writers’ Summit is a two-day program consisting of three exclusive tracks, strictly limited in attendance, to be held in Sunriver. SCWC Executive Director Michael Steven Gregory, himself an accomplished writer and filmmaker, and Sunriver resident, sees the Summit as vital to increasing the odds for a writer’s chance of success. “Writers need to break the cycle of rejection, whether it be from agents, publishers or, most importantly, book-buying readers,” Gregory says. “And with the ease of self-publishing what it is today, far too many writers are giving up on the traditional path altogether, simply skipping straight to what often amounts to premature e-publication. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

The overwhelming majority of titles, especially those that are self-published, fail to find a readership for a reason: they’re not ready for public consumption.” With over 300,000 books now being published each year, Gregory argues that the likelihood of an author achieving success extends beyond writing a good story. He explains, “Regardless of which genre you’re working in, and especially if you’re going to selfpublish, there’s infinite obstacles an author must overcome to get readers to invest both time and money to buy their book, even a great book. Our aim is to not only educate writers on crafting a quality, commercial story, but on the absolute necessity to strive for excellence, settle only for exceptional, at every stage of producing a book worthy of publication.” May 2-3, 2015 Sunriver Resort, $350 www.SunriverWritersSummit.com

he Essex is the true story of a Nantucket whaling ship that was rammed and sunk by a sperm whale in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in 1820, leaving 20 men in three small boats with very little food or water. Reaching the coast of South America 93 days later, only eight sailors survived the ordeal of thirst, starvation and despair.

This is the true story that became the inspiration for Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Meticulously researched and historically accurate, The Essex is the fifth installment in Portland Story Theater’s acclaimed Armchair Adventurer series, created and performed by Lawrence Howard and directed by Lynne Duddy. This show will be Lawrence Howard’s second time in Bend performing with Solo Speak, following his popular show last spring, Shackleton.

The Essex

A captivating performer, Howard holds his audiences spellbound and has been called “a master of non-fiction on the stage.” This program is appropriate for young adults age 17+ if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Robert E. Lee You Don’t Know

he room is empty but General Lee is not alone. Posterity sits in judgment, ready to render a verdict of traitor or patriot. How did the most trusted soldier in the United States Army become its greatest enemy? Why did this deeply religious man, firmly opposed to slavery and secession, reject Lincoln’s offer to lead the Union Army and agree to fight for the Confederacy? Lee at Appomattox is the untold story of how one of our greatest war heroes became the most dangerous man in America. Acclaimed stage, film and television actor Tom Dugan (Wiesenthal, Bones, ER) returns to Bend with his one-man-show Friday, April 10 at 7pm to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Set just moments before Lee’s surrender to General Grant in 1865, this engaging drama places the audience in the jury box as Lee shares the extraordinary circumstances of his remarkable life. “Dugan transports us onto the raging battlefields of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg and back to the Virginia farmhouse as Lee warns against simplifying

our nation’s story into just good versus evil,” said Ray Solley, the executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation. Images courtesy of Tower Theatre

Tom Dugan brings the confederate general to life for one evening at the Tower Theatre During the days preceding the performance, Dugan will conduct school residencies in classrooms across Central Oregon. Those educational assemblies are made possible by donations to the Tower’s Stover Fund, and grants from The Oregon Community Foundation, The Clabough Foundation, The WHH Foundation and Children’s Edu-Investors Fund. Public performance sponsors are Steve and Cynde Magidson. The presentation is also supported, in part, with funds provided by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF), the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org

Lee’s own words resonate with truth in 2015, “Fictionalized history teaches later generations to long for the good old days, which never really were, and to despise the little good that is granted us in this present world.”

Lee at Appomattox is being performed for one night in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the end of the civil war.

Redmond High School Theatre Presents The Laramie Project by MOISES KAUFMAN & MEMBERS OF THE TECTONIC THEATER PROJECT

he Panther Theatre Company of Redmond High School (RHS) will present The Laramie Project, directed by Rachel Sarrett, with technical direction by Hilda Beltran Wagner. The Laramie Project dramatizes the aftermath of the brutal 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay college student, who was beaten and abandoned on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. Fifteen RHS student actors will portray over 80 Laramie citizens, ordinary people thrust in the eye of a media storm, struggling to understand how their hometown became the epicenter of what many would call a hate crime. The play portrays the profound impact of Matthew’s death on Laramie and the nation ultimately, it celebrates the triumph of compassion over bigotry and violence. This documentary style theatre project is the result of months of interviews that the members of the Tectonic Theatre Project conducted with Laramie 10 April 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

Kish integrates theatre education in his humanitarian travels

Menagerie which broke attendance records. Now Kish is starting up his own theatre company called Topsoil Theatrics. His first event will be March 31 at Dogwood Cocktail Cabin in downtown Bend - an evening cocktail cabaret. It costs $10 to get in and it runs from 8-10pm. Seven local singers and three who recently moved here will be starring in the production. It will consist of two hours of musical songs. “I’m hoping, and in talking with Dogwood, that this will become a monthly occurrence with different casts and song themes,” suggests Kish. “My goal is to start raising the bar on theatre in Bend so there can actually be professional paid actors here who have proper training. I also have loads of classes and workshops in my company’s future to help hidden talent shine with confidence. Auditions are always welcome and open to everyone.” Kish says he plans to travel to Africa this June and back to Ecuador this Fall to continue teaching theatre to impoverished communities and will be looking for sponsors of his humanitarian travels.

He currently works at Looney Bean Coffee and also a cool paint and sip company called Art and Wine Oh My! where he guides people through paintings in two hours while drinking! Kish performed in community theatre in Albany, Oregon for many years starring in shows such as The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Producers. After graduating from Oregon State University in Horticulture, he attended a two-year program for musical theatre at Circle in the Square Theater School where greats like Kevin Bacon, Philp Seymour Hoffman and many more have graduated. Upon graduating, he was selected for New York City Town Hall’s Broadway Rising Stars and was honored to sing in front of thousands in the heart of Times Square. He proceeded to fill his time with the American Mime Theatre Company, the renowned Snapple Theater and the first tour of Wanda’s World with Laughing Giraffe Productions. Kish had an opportunity to travel to Ecuador with Dramatic Adventure Theatre to teach American theatre to villages and schools, as well as play writing with fellow actors. “It was one of the most memorable adventures in my life and it changed my heart so much that I left New York City,” exclaimed Kish. “I’m pumped about the receptive and innovative theatre community here with their huge talent. I’m all about being collaborative and growing together with other theatre companies to make Bend professional just like Ashland and Portland. I would love to teach and lead workshops about auditioning, music books, acting, physical acting and more as well as learn from those here and what they have to offer!” Kish recently starred in Cascades Theatrical Company The Glass

MaryLea Harris

tour of MaryLea Harris’ artwork is like walking through an enchanted forest. Inspired by the colossal poplars and oaks surrounding her hometown in Northern Virginia, Harris has long harbored a love for trees. Her paintings, and other visual art compositions, depict the silhouettes of trees caught in their transition between fall and winter. As a liberal arts major at Sweetbriar College, Harris sketched the changing of the seasons beneath a giant Fletcher oak tree. These barebranched trees – or “naked trees” as her two young daughters call them – have been a recurring theme in her artwork ever since. For Harris, the intertwined branches and roots symbolize the connection between living things, and a place for nesting. “Trees are a home to all the things that live in them, and the things that live around them,” she says. “Home is a big part of comfort for me.” Harris – who moved across the country with her family last fall – says, “It (Bend) felt like home as soon as we got here.”

The Roots of Art Story and Photos By LAUREN KERSHNER Cascade A&E Editorial Intern

Before planting her roots among the junipers and pines of Central Oregon, Harris taught elementary school art in Virginia for five years, and ran a children’s arts and crafts blog for six. Though her career in blogging proved to be a great success, Harris says that she was spending more time at the computer than in the art studio. “When I’m not making art, it feel like there’s a piece of me missing,” says Harris. A change in area codes marked the end of her blogging days, and a chance to focus on her artwork again. She spends afternoons painting in her home art studio, recently completing a “Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days” challenge. On the weekends, her daughters join her for creative projects. In addition to her paintings, Harris often “branches out” artistically, exploring the creative realms of mixed media pieces and sculptural books. Her mixed media pieces combine her paintings with computer emulsion transfers, while her sculptural books transform literature into three-dimensional art pieces.

In keeping with her tree theme, Harris is the creator of an art series she lovingly calls: Happy Little Trees, inspired by her childhood hero, artist Bob Ross. The paintings use brightly-colored limbs outlined by whites and creams to analogize the interplay between the positives and negatives in life. Harris uses these small, whimsical paintings as a form of art therapy. After losing her dear friend to cancer last year, the paintings remind her that, “It’s important to take the good with the bad.” Harris has displayed her art at Lumin Art Gallery in Tumalo and Footzone Bend for February’s First Friday Art Walk. Her upcoming exhibitions include April’s First Friday at Synergy and May’s First Friday at Hot Box Betty. A full list of art showcases can be found on her website. “Bend is a wonderful place,” says Harris after her first year in town. “We have a wonderful little art community. People are nice here. They want to see you succeed, and they help you.” www.maryleaharrisart.com

Ingrid Lustig in her Bend studio with Sun Hawk.

INGRIDLUS T I G Connecting Art Via Land & Living Beings

f all of Central Oregon’s fine artists – of which there are many – perhaps few have such a strong and emotional connection to their physical environment than Bend artist, Ingrid Lustig.

A painter specializing in mixed media as well as printmaking, Ingrid’s art can be described as a portal to the influences of her early years, all of which spent in various places throughout the American west. Prior to arriving in Bend in 2000, Ingrid spent 10 years in Pendleton as a working artist as well as the director of Crow’s Shadow Institute for the Arts on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. In 1977 she was a member of a Greenpeace expedition to save harp seal pups from being hunted in Canada.

her favorite subjects, the wolf. As a young woman in her 20s, Ingrid devoted three years of her life working at a wolf rescue center in Doyle, California caring for these magnificent predators that had been abandoned by people who apparently thought they would make good pets. “The memory of these animals has powered the creative force in my artwork to provide a glimpse of their strength and dignity, and declare their absolute necessity to our planet.” The time caring for wolves has given Ingrid an intimate connection with them and other wild animals, which she strives to convey in her work.

“I believe the land and its living beings become part of who we are on many levels,” reveals Lustig. “My art hopefully shares with the viewer my deep respect and love for the natural world.” This natural world is particularly focused on the high desert region of our state.

“In the ‘70s people were just starting to understand the ‘predator/prey’ relationship. The science was all coming out around this time, so it was a whole new field – this knowledge about predators and how important they are.”

That respect and discovery is reflected in so much of her work, particularly those of one of

One can immediately sense just how important an imprint these creatures have

Goddesses

made in Lustig’s life as she continues, “Wolves were essentially killed off in Oregon, however fortunately they are regaining their place alongside bears and coyotes.” In addition to the predators listed above, various raptors can also be found as the subjects in Lustig’s work. In fact, one particularly impressive piece titled Sun Hawk has been donated for auction during the 23rd annual Deschutes Children Foundation Art & Wine Auction on May 2 and is featured on the cover of this issue of Cascade A&E. Lustig’s work can easily be described as mystical in nature, with a satisfying blend of abstraction and precise, painterly details of her subjects (in particular the eyes of her wolves and raptors). Geometric shapes, classical imagery, items collected from nature

and heavy application of acrylic are often found in her paintings. The unconscious provides her with material and information.

Opener of the Ways

“My work is also concerned with the four natural elements (fire, earth, air and water) and how they interact in the landscape and animals. Geometric shapes, such as triangles contrast with natural shapes to symbolize human presence. To me, geometric shapes symbolize the human mind that is in juxtaposition to organic forms in nature. Rectangles symbolize portals to the unknown.” Lustig freely admits that at times, she may not always know where she’s going when she begins to create a work of art and is quite comfortable with that. More importantly, she genuinely enjoys the development of her artwork. “For me accidents and mistakes never really are... you can use them and they’ll take you someplace else that you didn’t know you were going to go. Playing around with shapes, imagery and color – that’s what makes it exciting for me. And, it’s very fun.” Ingrid Lustig’s work can be found at Atelier 6000, Tumalo Art Co., High Desert Gallery, Portland & Sales Gallery and Xanadu Gallery (online)

Art & Wine Auction Supports Children & Families in Deschutes County

he Deschutes Children’s Foundation’s (DCF) annual event, taking place at the Riverhouse Convention Center on May 2, marks the 25th anniversary of the Art & Wine Auction featuring works of art, limited release wine and a unique way to support children and families in the high desert. “We are planning a year of sharing our story and thanking all the partners and supporters who have helped us achieve this milestone,” explained Amy Ward, DCF development director. “Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company – the Art & Wine Auction Key Sponsor – is our 25th anniversary sponsor. We are grateful for all of our partners who have helped and supported us over the years, including Cascade A&E.” The funds raised from the auction will directly support the Foundation in providing rent-free space for their partners on four campuses throughout Bend, La Pine and Redmond. The programs the DCF supports ranges from the Kids Center, Head Start and Family Access Center to the Youth Choir of Central Oregon and Saving Grace. “There wouldn’t be a DCF without our nonprofit partners,” Ward went on to explain. “We exist to give them a place to do their good work of helping children and families. Successful fundraisers like the Art and Wine Auction ensure that we can give our partners the facility management, classrooms and offices they need to execute their missions. Our fundraising efforts ensure

that our partners expenses don’t increase. In fact, they collectively save over $650,000 a year in funds that would otherwise be spent on rent and facility management thanks to our partnership.” Students from the Bend High culinary program are participating again this year in the dessert dash. “The students were so enthusiastic and put a lot of thought, time and talent into the sweet treats they created,” Ward said. Foley Family Vineyards is providing wine for the dinner and will be pouring tastes during the silent auction along with Grocery Outlet and Merrill Cellars. Bigfoot Beverages is bringing a wide variety of beers and ciders, and Deschutes Brewery and two of Bend’s newest breweries – Bridge 99 and Oblivion Brewing – will also be pouring samples. “We’re so grateful for the local artist and business community that supports us so generously at the Art and Wine Auction. We are proud to feature the stunning works of talented local artists. Many local businesses support us through live and silent auction donations – there are many fun packages at different price levels so it’s easy for everyone to find something special,” Ward concluded.

Opening reception includes a celebration of Cascade A&E’s 20th anniversary. A6 will also announce the juror’s Best of Show award from the exhibit. The winner will receive a fourweek artist residency at Playa at Summer Lake. Artist books use the traditional The Dark Mother by Nivedita Saha book form as a departure point. Usually one-of-a-kind creations, artist books may use hand writing, calligraphy or letterpress, and typically include art elements such as paintings, photographs, collage, drawing or prints. Artist books are often rendered in sculptural forms and encourage a different style of interaction from the viewer. This international exhibit includes book artists from across the United States as well as India, United Arab Emirates and Canada. Artists were challenged to create a book on the theme of myths or legends (real or imagined). Juried by Laura Russell of 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, the resulting exhibit runs the gamut from Native American stories out of Novia Scotia to an examination of the Indian goddess of the apocalypse, Kali. A6 welcomes Salem, Oregon book artist Ann Kresge for an art talk on artist books Friday, April 10 at 6pm. Kresge will show examples of her work and present a slideshow from the National Museum of Women’s landmark show, Book As Art.

Richard divides his time between Utah and Sweden, the native home of his wife, Karin.

Adopted as child, Busik knew nothing of her heritage but learned of her Mexican ancestry. Her desire to connect with her roots strongly influenced her current paintings that reflect the “magical reality” of noted Hispanic authors such as Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Her art of over-scale, brightly colored dahlias, poppies, birds and other subjects features the traditional, intricate designs Poppy by Susan Busik and patterns of Mexico, her version of “my Grandmother’s art.” Billye Turner organizes exhibitions for the Oxford Hotel 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

An introvert by nature, artist Rich feels comfortable talking through her art. “It’s not just a painting, but your feelings and emotions that you’re projecting to the world, opening up in a way that’s sometimes difficult with words. I can’t not paint. It’s something I’m compelled to do.” Rich’s paintings usually center around little bits and pieces from Watching and Waiting Watercolor by Denise Rich nature. Drawn to earthy subjects such as weathered wood, plants, rocks and birds, her works are often intimate studies of small worlds that many might overlook. As one of the founding members of the Plein Air Painters of Oregon, plein air painting is a favorite pastime for the artist. “Painting on location is an enjoyable challenge. Maybe someday I’ll get it right, but in the mean time I’m having fun trying.” Currently working with acrylics for quick outdoor work, most of her studio painting is done in watercolors, sometimes taking several days to complete.

Dreaming in Red Student Art at

Red Chair Gallery by LAUREN KERSHNER Cascade A&E Editorial Intern

Photo by Jesse Lockwood

Red Chair has warmly invited over 20 high school students from Mountain View and Bend Senior High School to share their art with the community.

midst Bend’s First Friday Art Walk in August 2010, Red Chair Gallery opened its doors. Inspired by the need for a member-based gallery in the community, a group of local artists turned their dream into a reality. Today Red Chair displays creations from 27 members whose works include acrylics, jewelry, ceramics, mosaics, and glass art. In addition, local artists are featured in the gallery each month. For the month of April, Red Chair has warmly invited over 20 high school students from Mountain View (MVH) and Bend Senior High School (BSH) to share their art with the community. The art work was chosen from a large pool of student submissions to be sold in the gallery. Drawings, ceramics and paintings inspired by the students’ favorite song lyrics are just a few of the artistic offerings on display. Each piece gives a glimpse of the world through the eyes of a young aspiring artist. “Some of these students never thought their artwork was of the caliber to be in a gallery,” says Jesse Lockwood, the visual arts teacher at BSH. “Just having their art chosen and hung in the gallery is really cool for them. I think it gives them that much more confidence in their creative abilities and what they can do.”

Aside from this month’s student showcase, Red Chair has been active in encouraging the dreams of young artists by providing internships and temporary gallery memberships. The membership program allows students to sell their art in the gallery over a span of thirty days, while the internship includes the opportunity to attend a variety of artistic workshops of their choosing. “The arts are often one of the first things that are cut from school programs,” says Gallery Director Dee McBrien. “We (members of Red Chair) feel very strongly that art is an important part of people’s growth, so we wanted to do something to contribute and inspire students at the high school level.” A special reception of the student’s work will be held at the gallery during April’s First Friday Art Walk at 4pm. The artists will be present to introduce their art to the community. “Just by showing up and discussing the work with the students is a great way for people to get involved,” says McBrien. “It means a lot to these kids.” Red Chair Gallery, 103 NW Oregon Ave., Bend, 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com

Furniture Flip Design Challenge

an Earth Day event to Benefit Bend Area Habitat

Photo from Restore

ave you ever spent all afternoon on the couch watching home improvement or DIY shows like HGTV’s Flee Market Flip or History Channel’s American Pickers? It’s not your fault, it’s the antiquing! It’s the before and after reveals! They are so addicting. This Earth Day, you can get off of the sofa and watch a design show LIVE. ReStore’s first annual Furniture Flip Design Challenge is prepared to wow you. Eleven local artists and designers are ‘upcycling’ three pieces of furniture and home accessories each. That’s 33 pieces to browse, admire and shop. Best yet, all of the proceeds will benefit Bend Area Habitat for Humanity. In our community, Bend Area Habitat has built 106 homes and repaired 60 others for families and individuals over the last 25 years. This seems like a large number, but there is still work

to do on the front of affordable housing. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, in no state can a full-time minimum wage worker afford a one-bedroom or a two-bedroom rental unit. In Oregon, an individual would have to work 72 hours a week to make rent affordable. Bend is no exception to the issue of housing affordability. The ReStore is here to help as a major funding tool. Not only does the ReStore redirect two million pounds of materials from the landfill annually, but it also funds over 75 percent of Habitat’s operational costs. By shopping the Furniture Flip Design Challenge, you are supporting the arts, the environment and local families in our community. Choose reuse this season! Come see the works of Stemach Design & Architecture, Natural Edge Furniture, Connell Hull Company and many more local designers during April’s Last Saturday at Armature in the Old Iron Works Art District. Free to attend, donations welcome Last Saturday, April 25th 7pm-10pm at Armature, Old Iron Works Art District. www.restoresfurnitureflip.com.

Volunteer Lawyers Offer Legal Basics Series for Creative Community

regon Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (OVLA) is presenting a four-part brown bag lunch series on legal issues important to artists, performers and other creatives.

“Artists are often confronted with perplexing legal issues,” said OVLA Vice President and Education Committee Chair Karen Davis. “Their questions can be as basic as ‘What does a copyright protect and what doesn’t it protect?’ Our series is designed to help them with some of the answers they need.” Future brown bag events include: Basics of Online Infringement Remedies: April 23, Lane Powell (601 SW Second Ave., Suite 2100, Portland) A panel of creatives and attorneys discuss how to protect and use works online. Business Structures: May 26, Location TBD Attorneys will lay out the different business structures available to creatives. Trademarks and Branding 101: June 25, Lane Powell (601 SW Second Ave., Suite 2100, Portland) How to protect your brand and trademarks, and when to seek advice. All events are scheduled from 12-1:30pm.

Oregon Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts

Their Story:

In 1988, a small group of lawyers and artists formed a non profit called Northwest Lawyers and Artists (NWLA), and set out to learn all we could to support local artists and help them nurture their creative endeavors and business pursuits. Over the years, NWLA has delivered countless hours of free legal services to artists and arts organizations within our community. From NWLA, we have grown to become Oregon Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, OVLA, offering a variety of workshops and conferences. We teach, we listen, we support. Our rewards are many. When a band plays, when a book is published, when a gallery is opened, we feel a sense of pride in having helped, in some small way, our friends in the arts community.

OVLA is a non-profit organization that supports the Oregon creative community by providing legal assistance, resources and educational programs to artists and organizations in the visual, literary, performance, media and other arts. http://oregonvla.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | April 2015

Great Art Picks Up Where Nature Begins

Artists’ Gallery has two very talented artists featured during April in the gallery. Each has developed their own unique styles and techniques to celebrate art. Mary Wonser: Weaver Color and texture surround us. Color makes us happy, sad, excited or calm. Color can make us warm or cool. It can also evoke a myriad of other emotions, each depending on an individual’s life experience. Texture gives dimension to a surface. Mary says, “To me, texture in a weaving gives it a third dimension. It may be a feather that flutters when you pass by or a bit of metallic that glitters in the candle light. It gives life to my weaving.” Mary’s inspirations for her weavings come first through color. “I feel the color. Color talks to me and the designs evolve from that point. Texture evolves from a desire to give the weaving personality and life.” Artists’ Gallery is proud to present the works of Mary Wonser. From cozy hand loomed shawls to artful wall hangings, table runners and decadent kitchen towels…the collection will add warmth and color to your life and home. Bill Hamilton: Fine Art Painter William (Bill) Hamilton studied commercial and technical illustration at Oregon Institute of Technology. His first job was as an illustrator and graphics manager for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Through all of those years he also sold his oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings through galleries in California and Oregon. Bill paints scenes throughout Oregon, Washington and California. He says, “I paint what I know and know where I go!” It could be a raft trip or kayak trip down the Rogue, Deschutes or John Day River. It could be a hike to one of the many lakes in the Cascades and Sierras. It could be the multitude of birds that come in the backyard during the various seasons. According to Bill, “All of God’s creation is worthy of painting.” Original paintings as well as prints and cards of Bill’s work are available in the Artists’ Gallery. Mary and Bill along with the 25+ other artists in the gallery invite you to join them for the monthly Second Saturday Art Night on April 11 from 4-6pm. Food, wine and fun!

Welcome to The Sisters Country My Own Two Hands Poster Art Chosen

My Own Two Hands Kimry Jelen

he organizers for Sisters Folk Festival’s annual My Own Two Hands Community Arts Celebration (MOTH) have chosen the poster art for 2015’s event. “This year’s theme is Imagine and when we saw this painting it was an obvious choice,” said Sisters Folk Festival Development Director Katy Yoder. Artist Kimry Jelen painted a horse that seems to fly off the canvas in a spot-on depiction of a horse’s luminous eyes, grace and power.

Her creation leaves an open door to imagining a horse with wings and the feeling of the rush of wind as it sails by into the unknown. Between her dressage riding and painting, Jelen took a moment to reflect on her gift to My Own Two Hands. “This community was incredibly generous and helped me make a once-in-alifetime opportunity come true last year; to show my artwork in France at the World Equestrian Games. The theme this year, Imagine, sparked memories of how my journey to France started two years ago.” The magical moment that inspired Jelen’s painting began when she joined horse-people from all over the world in Hawaii to learn about TTouch. “We did a group journey, guided by Mrs. Tellington-Jones herself, where she asked us to imagine our horses with wings carrying us into the future...painting with this vision in mind, memories of my trip to France started popping up...the architecture made of earth, gorgeous textural buildings filled with saints...especially the amazing people I met. Imagine was a very positive experience, there’s even some world

peace mixed in the colors.” Jelen’s generosity typifies the giving spirit in Sisters from the creative community. “This painting is a ‘thank-you note.’ I’m paying it forward to our future world leaders that this special Sisters community cultivates,” said Jelen. “Art is important for some students; it offers them a creative and healthy opportunity for self exploration. In the spirit of MOTH, I hope this painting will enable the Americana Project to continue its good works in the schools.” MOTH is a fundraiser and two-day celebration of the arts. Friday, May 8 begins with a community parade at 4pm on Main Avenue, an art stroll from 3:30-6:30pm throughout downtown Sisters and the Community Arts Celebration at the Belfry from 6:30-9:30pm. Dinner is available that evening for $10 at the door, and proceeds will support Americana Project and other Sisters Folk Festival Inc. programming.

CENTRAL OR O T Y A W EGO E T A N G gs - Redmond - Prinev n i r p S m r ille Wa s La Pi a r d a ne M Redmond Features Synergy: Art and Literature II

The Deschutes Public Library’s Novel Idea for 2015 is Ruth Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being. Local artist, Linda Barker, has been selected to create a painting representative of this novel for the Redmond Branch Library.

he Friends of the Redmond Branch Library will promote the Novel Idea programming with their annual Synergy: Art and Literature II exhibition. Unlike some of the other Deschutes County libraries, the Redmond Branch has elected to hold an exhibition which celebrates the connection between the visual and literary arts or visual and musical arts. Synergy: Art and Literature II allows the artist to make his/her own association—whether that be a book, poem, piece of music or even the artist’s own poetry. A short paragraph accompanies each piece of art and offers library patrons a rare opportunity to see through each artist’s eyes.

The public is invited to a reception where local jazz duo, JazCru, will be playing on Saturday, April 4, from 6-8:30pm in the library. Visit this exhibition and experience how the artists’ literary or musical inspiration has been interpreted through their art.

Central Oregon Exhibits Madras/Warm Springs Art Adventure Gallery 185 SW Fifth St. 541-475-7701. www.artadventuregallery.com Featuring art inspired by the book, Something To Hold, by Katherine Schlick Noe as part of the 12th annual Jefferson County Community Read. Something to Hold is a remarkable true story of prejudice and courage told through the eyes of 11-year-old Kitty, a white girl whose family moves to Warm Springs Indian reservation in 1962. Kitty gets a rough and friendless start at school but soon sees, for the first time, the injustice regularly meted out to her Indian classmates, and recognizes that the ugly stereotyping she hears from outsiders is far from the truth. Opening reception April 2, 5:30-7pm, Thursday, April 16, 5:30-6:30pm meet and greet the author.

Kanpai Sushi and Sake Bar 990 Northwest Newport Avenue, Bend 541-388-4636 info@kanpai-bend.com www.kanpai-bend.com Owner: Justin Cook Hours: Open daily 4pm – close

e ind By L

ou know when you start dreaming of grocery sushi that you’ve waited too long. That’s your cue to head to Kanpai Sushi and Sake Bar. For the last 10 years, Kanpai has served up some of the best traditional (with a twist) sushi in town. But let me tell you, traditional at Kanpai doesn’t mean ordinary. Or boring. Sure you can order your basic nigiri and rolls. But if you really want to make your taste buds skip and sing, opt for omakase—which means chef ’s choice—instead. Owner Justin Cook was our sushi chef the night of the review. The master started us out with bites of bright pink, cool tuna and melt-in-your-mouth Hamachi in a spicy ginger vinaigrette. “Can we lick the plate?” I asked. I was only half joking. We would revisit that same sauce later in the meal when Chef Justin served us a seared scallop topped with scallion and dusted with dried bonito flake. The perfect marriage provided a study of textures, along with nuances of salt and spicy goodness, that we would experience in all our dishes that night. Our taste of salmon in a garlic citrus vinaigrette with a dab of goat cheese, pickled red onion and a fried caper worked for all the same reasons, with the citrus addition putting it over the top. “If sushi had a comfort food, this would be it,” my dining companion Leah said.

“So if I can’t lick my plate, can I have a straw?” I asked. Ever the pragmatist, I settled for a spoon. “That may be the best dish of the night,” Leah stated. “I don’t know how he can do better than that.” We were about to find out. Poke on a chip over a bed of seaweed wowed us both. I loved the creaminess of the firm, fresh fish contrasted with the crunch of the fried wonton chip. Leah loved the fact that she felt like she was eating healthy nachos. Our next dish, an experiment that Chef Justin wasn’t even sure would work, proved to be another Leah favorite—uni (sea urchin) on a bed of green sauce made from cilantro, serrano chili, shiso leaf and truffle salt. “Comfort food 2.0,” she said, grabbing one of the spoons I’d requested in order to round up every last drop of sauce. My favorite bite followed: Hamachi sprinkled with ghost pepper salt and wrapped around avocado and a chiffonade of scallion, then topped with black tobico (flying fish roe) and drizzled with Spanish olive oil. Silky meets creamy in a citrus sauce with a subtle touch of ghost pepper heat. What’s not to love? Noting that neither of us was using a drop of either soy sauce or wasabi, unheard of in our sushi world, we kept going. The bites of crispy pork belly topped with pickled mustard seed and served alongside home-pickled, al dente, ever-so-sweet vegetables were about the last thing I expected from a sushi bar. But what a delicious contrast. To be honest, I didn’t expect to like the octopus ceviche, Chef Justin’s take on a taco. But the octopus was tender and delicious, while the clean citrusy jalapeno flavor proved a perfect follow-up to the fatty pork belly. We ended our feast with Chef Justin’s version of dessert—unagi (freshwater eel) tempura with scallop and avocado in a pineapple gastrique (caramelized sugar, deglazed with vinegar), topped with an amarettosoaked cherry. “This guy has serious talent,” my friend Leah announced. I’ll second that. Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | April 2015 33

n capping this year’s Memorial Day Weekendlineup,theyscoredacoup said Marney Smith,director of the Les Schwab Amphitheater. Seriously, Robert Plant & The Sensational SpaceShifters they have Robert Plant coming to Bend... “So that’s The Decemberists on Friday, Ryan Adams on Saturday, take Sunday off, and then Robert Plant on Monday (Memorial Day),” she added in a note announcing the weekend concerts. This show is Robert Plant’s only Oregon show and marks his first Oregon show since his triumphant return to the stage at Portland’s Waterfront Bluesfest in 2013. “Plus, this is only his fifth Oregon show since in the last 14 years,” added Smith. “To say this show is a rarity is an understatement!” Robert Plant isn’t the only coup for the popular amphitheater. Last year’s concert lineup numbered only seven performances (including the only Oregon performance for Ringo) but this summer you’ll see several more lineups.

Many of these concerts will sell out, so get your tickets early:

Take the Midnight Train to the Tower! Masters of Soul Recreate Motown’s Hits April 8

Motown Tribute Group, Masters of Soul

n the early 1960s many of the most iconic names in the history of pop music were discovered in the Motor City, better known simply as Motown. Masters of Soul celebrates those artists and their music Wednesday, April 8 at 7:30 pm at the Tower Theatre. With stylish costumes, fully choreographed routines backed by a live band of seasoned musicians, ten talented performers pay high-energy tributes to Detroit’s legendary male and female groups, including The Temptations, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Marvin Gaye and Aretha Frankin, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Four Tops, Diana Ross and The Supremes, The Jackson Five and Stevie Wonder.

ne thing for sure is that the Cascade School of Music’s annual fundraiser, The Gift of Music April 30, will consists of some very fine music. While guests are enjoying a specially prepared and plated four-course dinner, the Groove Merchants will be playing swinging jazz. The Groove Merchants ( John Allen, bass, David Fahrner, piano and vibes, Aaron Rohrbacher sax) are all closely involved with the school. Allen teaches bass, Rohrbacher woodwinds and Fahrner accompanies the jazz vocals program. The trio will be performing jazz standards from 1940s and ‘50s. After dinner, it’s the kids’ turn. The school will present five aspiring young musicians: Finn Jacobs, guitar; Alia Torres, violin; Kim Santaguida and Elizabeth White, piano;Hannah Tranby, cello and the remarkable Enysses Gaskins, voice. Both Jacobs and antaguida are winners of the school’s Fortissimo award;

“Dance, sing along and re-live the greatest R&B hits of all time,” said Ray Solley, the executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation. “Stroll down memory lane, start ‘Dancing in the Street,’ or do The Locomotion!” Show night sponsor for Masters of Soul is the 10Below restaurant in the Oxford Hotel. For tickets, call 541-317-0700 or visit TowerTheatre.org

White won a Rotary scholarship and Gaskins has performed across the region. 2014 was the first year for The Gift of Music and the attendees enjoyed the live music, unique auction packages and a four-course dinner, but more than anything they enjoyed the inspirational student performances–that really brings home what they’re doing at the school. The Gift of Music April 30 at 5:30 at Awbrey Glen Funds raised will benefit the school and its scholarship programs for low income youth wishing to pursue music. 541-382-6866 www.cascadeschoolofmusic.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | April 2015

Brothers Comatose at The Belfry with Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra

he Belfry in partnership with 4 Peaks Music Festival is proud to bring back Brothers Comatose Thursday April 9 at 8pm. Opening act will be Marty O’Reilly and The Old Soul Orchestra. It’s sure to be a lively night of dancing. Literal brothers, Alex (banjo and vocals) and Ben Morrison (guitar and vocals) of The Brothers Comatose grew up in a house that was known for its music parties. “The Morrison house was a gathering place for local musicians – everyone would bring an instrument, call out tunes, call out changes, and just play for hours,” says Brothers Comatose bassist and Morrison music party goer, Gio Benedetti. “I learned more in that living room than in any class I ever took.”

The brothers took this generous, inclusive and rowdy attitude and brought it to stages all over San Francisco. With the addition of members Philip Brezina (fiddle) and Ryan Avellone (mandolin) the string quintet brings their original string music and the feel of an intimate music party to audiences all across the United States.

Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra This three-man orchestra seamlessly weaves trance based blues music, harkening back to John Lee Hooker and Howlin’ Wolf, with a drunken minor swing comparable to some of Tom Waits’ darker works. Hailing from Santa Cruz, California, Marty O’Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra deliver an enthralling and passionate performance, which often leaves them out of breath and the stage littered with broken strings and bow hairs.

New Perspectives for April by Eileen Lock

here will be lots of decisions over the first few days of this month leading up to a Full Moon on the 4th. Relationships get your attention during this time and clear communication is the key to moving forward. Conversations on the 6th show you what is available if you are willing to let changes happen in the very near future. Speak your truth on the 9th and be willing to take action over the following few days. Trust your intuition as you make these changes. Re-evaluation begins on the 11th as you search your heart. Take a few days before you make any decisions as you may need to look at things from a variety of directions. The New Moon on the 18th will invite you to go public with your choices and let the new beginnings grow. Action taken on
