Unsettling Notions

T

he election has a lot of people (actually the majority of Americans) concerned about the future, particularly the way we treat each other and how we view diversity and manage our differences.

Notes from the Publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews

We are people, individuals comprising a variety of sexes, races, shifting sexualities and all the rest of it. Every convention that tries to reinforce this difference is a step back. Notions of gender pointlessly separate men from women, but also mothers from daughters and fathers from sons.

the ‘holiday’ spirit of love and friendship. This isn’t a time to ‘take America back’ or ‘make American great again’....

America is already a great place, we’ve already made so ~ Robert Webb (English comedian, actor and writer, and much progress in accepting one half of the double act Mitchell and Webb diversity and differences.

If we can’t change the My youngest son, Jesse (a smart, flourishing business leader in attitudes of various fractions in our country, we can at least ensure LA), has a young daughter and son and his comments just break my that Central Oregon is the kind of place we want our children and heart, writing to me that the election has made him angry and yet grandchildren to be safe from prejudice and bullying. motivated to want to find a way to make a positive change.

With this thought, I hope you have holidays that lifts your spirits while "I don’t know what that even means," he says, “which makes you help others ensure we live in a caring and respectful community. me even more angry…but I want to be a better role model for my kids and community and feel like I can do something to have a positive influence.

“I feel like we are all too intelligent, fortunate and capable to sit idle and “wait” it out for four years. Perhaps this is a wake-up call for me and others like me, that we cannot stand idle and expect good things to happen. For too long I have been so afraid to take a stance or advocate for what I think is right. So I can no longer rest on my ignorance or repulsion for politics and allow that to dissuade me from ensuring the environment which my children and my eventual grandchildren live is safe, healthy and sustainable.

“No, this does not mean I have any interest in running for any political position…but I am determined to find a way to make a difference…please hold me to it and push me so I don’t remain on the sidelines all the time!”

Indeed! While we wait to see how the dust settles in Washington D.C., I am buoyed and proud by Jesse’s comments and desire to make his community a better place. I hope to help him look within ourselves to rise above hate and violence and make our own community a kind and respectful environment!

The holidays are usually a time that we extend warmth and care to our families and friends, and even strangers. My hope is that the election can encourage us to find ways to look beyond our differences and embrace

ENCORE A6 Founder Patricia Clark Receives OAEA Award for Outstanding Service Outside the Profession The Oregon Art Education Association (OAEA) recently awarded Bend artist Patricia Clark for her outstanding work in furthering arts education and appreciation in Oregon. Each year the OAEA honors individuals, associations and programs that have made significant contributions to art education. Candidates are recommended by their colleagues and nomination materials are collected and judged by select committee of experts.

Born in Fargo, North Dakota, Clark earned a bachelors of science through Bemidji State University and a masters of fine arts in printmaking through Cranbrook Academy of Art. Self-described as a “rambling rose,” Clark worked as an arts educator throughout the U.S. for a number of years, notably serving as the chair of the art department at CSU: Long Beach and as director at the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Southern California.

After retiring as an educator, Clark moved to Bend in 2005 and founded Atelier 6000 (A6) in 2007. It is Central Oregon’s only publicly-accessible printmaking and book arts studio. Clark modeled A6 after the idea of a traditional French atelier, a working studio that allows both mature and beginning artists to collaborate, innovate and evolve.

Clark has spoken how the founding of A6 has allowed her to open a new chapter in her practice, “Founding Atelier 6000 greatly enriched my work. As an artist and educator, my intent was to form new experiences through classes and collaboration among artist members. I wanted to construct a true atelier.”

Atelier 6000’s newest production Red: Annual A6 Member Exhibit is on display during December.

High Desert Chamber Music Awarded Grant High Desert Chamber Music has been awarded a grant of $2,500 from the Juan Young Trust to strengthen educational outreach programs. The independent and private trust was established in the year 2000 to provide grants to 501(c)3 organizations that promote health, education and welfare of children under 21 years old.

High Desert Chamber Music’s Educational Outreach efforts include providing students with direct contact to the guest artists through visits at local schools. In September, violinist Frank Almond visited Bend Senior High School, where a few hundred students from five different schools were treated to a presentation and Q&A session with Mr. Almond and his 1715 Stradivarius violin. We hope to expose more children and youth to the highest levels of music performance, cultivating an interest that can lead to a lifelong appreciation and enjoyment of the performing arts.

Jill Haney-Neal Featured in Pink Magazine Jill Haney-Neal was recently asked to do the cover for the October issue of Pink magazine, a women’s publication based in the Hamptons and Hilton Head, North Carolina.

“I was surprised to hear from the magazine, as had never heard of it, but the editor/owner saw one of the “wild tasteful! women” images from a store in North Carolina and contacted us. She already knew which image (Wine Diva) she wanted!” said Haney-Neal.

Since October is breast cancer awareness month, they were also pleased to see that there was an art image titled Chemo Queens which they included in the article on Jill with the inspiration for her work for empowering women.

“We are getting a lot of orders from galleries and individuals now from North Carolina to Florida.”

Local Artists Recognized in Pastel Society Laura Jo Sherman and Nancy Misek were recently awarded prizes in the Pastel Society of Oregon’s (PSO) National 2016 Show.

Laura Jo’s painting Evening Comes received the Best in Show Award and Nancy’s A Peaceful Time earned the Jack Richardson Award. At the Show Laura Jo was honored with the title of Master Pastelist from the organization. A Master Pastelist is an artist who has won three separate awards from three different jurors in the PSO Shows.

Both painters are active artists in Bend. Laura Jo is a Pastel Society of America signature artist who has taught classes and workshops locally. She is member of the Artist’s Gallery in Sunriver. Nancy is on the board of the Plein Air Painters of Oregon ( PAPO ) and is past president of Sagebrushers Art Society. They are passionate pastel artists and have had many shows of their paintings in Bend.

Theatre Company Seeks to Interview Oregonians with Experiences in Intentional Living

H

and2Mouth (H2M) is a theatre company devoted to creating new theatre that asks pressing questions of our region and our time.

Their latest work, Psychic Utopia, explores the human impulse to seek new ways of life through experiments in group living and asks what insights these experiments provide into ways we practice community in wider society.

With support from the Miller Foundation, Templeton Foundation and Oregon Cultural Trust, the production will be shaped through engagements with communities across the state. In December Hand2Mouth artistic director Jonathan Walters will be in residency at Caldera to interview local residents with past or present experience of life in an intentional community.

On December 17 the company will host a free community conversation and work in progress performance at Sisters Public Library.

H2M creates theatre by combining research with originally-created material to bring Oregon voices to the stage. H2M’s 2015 show based on Gus Van Sant’s film My Own Private Idaho explored early 90s Portland street youth and subcultures. Psychic Utopia focuses on the open skies and dense forests of rural Oregon and the region’s draw for the myriad groups that built intentional communities here in the last fifty years. Interviews with residents will inform the development of a script about a group of fictional characters who left their normal lives behind to create utopia.

The project combines real-life details and performer-created fictions to

12

December 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

explore the human impulse to seek greater fulfillment in western landscapes.

Psychic Utopia will be researched and performed by Hand2Mouth company members and guests led by H2M artistic director Jonathan Walters and script writing by H2M resident playwright and two-time Oregon Book Award winner Andrea Stolowitz.

Hand2Mouth is no stranger to Central Oregon. In September, they collaborated with Literary Arts to present a reading of Andrea Stolowitz’s play Ithaka in Bend at the Tin Pan Theater and First Presbyterian Church in Lakeview. In 2015, they toured their show PEP TALK to Sisters Middle School and Lakeview High School. H2M Artistic Director Jonathan Walters says, “Touring to communities in Oregon, especially smaller communities, is both a joy and an artistic imperative for us. We are continually looking for new ways to include the audience’s voice and experience in our work.

Sometimes that happens during the show itself, but right now we are exploring ways to have deeper conversations during the creation process. We know there are many people in Central Oregon with stories to tell about seeking community and a different life. We hope to meet them in December and bring the full production here once it’s completed.”

FAITH, HUMILITY AND JUST A BIT OF HUMOR BILL HAMILTON, THE ARTIST

by MAGDALENA BOKOWA, AE Feature Writer

B

ill Hamilton is a gentleman. Educated, chivalrous, he is both soft spoken in his speech but lively and animated in his retellings. His eyes light up when asked to recall his favorite painting, of which a portrait of his wife Evie, at age thirty, is treasured. But it is most everything else about Bill that makes up his old-world charm, and that makes one drawn to his well-mannered and calm demeanor. He is grounded and intelligent. When he speaks, his thoughts are considerate, well thought out and meaningful, without any airs.

Bill chuckles as he offers me what is clearly his favorite seat in his bright Tumalo studio which is full of his works - past and present. He reclines in the chair, a handcrafted, log style, Adirondack that he amassed when he made some trades for it in Fort Bragg, California. It’s something that you would expect to find in the old wild west, in an isolated cabin. A piece of pelt fur, draped, makes for his cushioning. The chair, in a way, represents the medley between Bill the man, and Bill the artist. Artistic and logical. This is evident

14

December 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

in his career spent as a technical illustrator for aerospace engineering firms.

Bill begins, “I am a realist… I’m always trying to get away from detail and simplify, letting the basic shapes tell the story. Working as a technical illustrator has imprinted ‘detail’ on my brain [and] my initial goal as an artist has not changed in the 55 years that I have been painting.”

When asked what, that goal is, he simply replies, “To be able to paint any subject, in any light, and not to get stuck in a box painting only a few subjects.”

When examining his paintings, the devout attention to light and the way it illuminates its subjects is clear. A landscape, painted from Tam McArthur Rim, draws the eye immediately to the peaks of the Cascade mountain range due to the way that the light softly falls and surrounds it, almost like a halo.

Bill is deeply engrained in spiritual life and maybe this facet has unknowingly influenced his paintings, although apart from the Cascade A&E cover art, his works mostly do not have religious themes. They are of landscapes, birds, florals, coastal scenes and a few portraits. When asked why he doesn’t paint

people more, he bursts out laughing and says, “If you’re off a bit on a tree, not a big deal, but if you’re off a bit on a nose…well... I’d rather stick to trees.”

His favorite paintings are outdoor landscapes and he attributes this to growing up on state forestry land, surrounded by nature. “Outdoor activities always keep a constant flow of scenes before me to paint.

I have files of sketches and photos ready to be painted and new ideas keep coming.

I’ll never get to all of them. Many times, I will paint in series—say three or four mountain scenes and then move on to another subject.”

His style has been influenced by many things, namely the California Impressionists in which he notes has helped him pay less attention to detail, and more on light and shape. He is a fan of geometry and focuses on it everywhere, an attribute that worked well in his career studying blueprints and 3D drawings. Although he notes that a big influence occurred when he was first starting out, fellow artists kept repeating quotes from a specific book. The Art of Color and Design by Maitland Graves, now printed nearly 65 years ago, still rings true on essential design fundamentals and speaks of eight principles.

These have shaped his work throughout the years, and what celebrated work was once “a happy accident,” knowing these principles have let his innate sense of design be honed. It has evolved due to this fundamental knowledge, and we speak at length about the idea that most artists have that ingrained design sense, but need the education, the practice, the time, to perfect it.

And his way of painting is indeed, very perfected, set out in three stages approached in a somewhat technical way.

“I do some thumbnail sketches for composition. Mostly these are from photos I have taken or ideas I have jotted down on a note pad that is always with me. I always work out the basic shapes and arrangement of space… [and] I’ll either freehand that compositional sketch… or if it’s a real large canvas and a complicated subject, I’ll project the sketch to get the basic shapes positioned right. Getting that beginning composition right has

COVER ARTIST

become critical to how I paint these days.”

He continues, “I begin to block in the entire painting concentrating more on the dark and light values than on the color.

Once the shapes and values are blocked in, without any detail, I look at it from a distance—20 to 30 feet. If it doesn’t look ‘right,’ I go back to modifying those shapes, sizes, values and colors before I will proceed to do any finishing.

“Now I begin finishing the painting by modifying the values and colors within the original basic shapes, some edges are softened some hardened, warm and cool colors are modified to create the distance and light emphasis that I want. Color and values around the center of interest are modified. Then the painting is set against the wall for a fresh look the next day.”

These finished works of art are currently displayed at the Artists Gallery in Sunriver, and one can even find Bill finishing up a painting there on some days. Having been retired for several years, he spends his days enjoying the recreational activities of the area, road tripping with his wife and teaching bible study and art to kids. “Once they start to get it, it’s like hitting a neat note. You get to just let them go and watch them have fun.

It’s important to facilitate that learning and expression.”

A great artist, passing along a wealth of knowledge, Bill Hamilton, always the humble gentleman he ends with, "Few artists become successful overnight. Art is a life-long learning process and none of us will ever stop learning and perfecting our art. We change as people and our art changes—and that is a very cool blessing!”

Bill's artwork is currently exhibited at the Artist's Gallery in Sunriver. www.artistsgallerysunriver.com/bill-hamilton.html Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | December 2016

Manymoons.net Creates Commerce with Conscience Local Entrepreneurs Transform Fine Arts into Beautiful Items, While Supporting to Preserve the Ojibwe Native American Language.

L

ocal start-up manymoons. net revolves around Bend resident Marjorie MeretCarmen’s belief that, “...if small businesses would take on even one of society’s injustices by earmarking as little as 5 percent of profits toward making a difference, the ripple effect could go a long way.”

So, the concept of Commerce with Conscience was initiated and manymoons.net was born.

“We chose to support the Ojibwe language preservation projects out of gratitude to Dale Shalefoe, a member of the Ojibwe tribe who owned the manymoons.net website, for ‘gifting’ it to us when we informed him of our intention to help repair social injustices that go back many generations.”

The idea grew out of Marjorie’s extensive collection of her father, Tom Meret’s watercolors; works that were scheduled for public exhibition in New York in 1971, the year of tragic auto accident and his death a few months prior to the opening.

“We canceled the show. There would be no more paintings and we didn’t want to sell the collection we had, “ Meret-

Carmen said.

The work remained largely unknown until a few years ago when she had some of the watercolors produced as greeting cards for family and friends.

Someone remarked that what a great jigsaw puzzle these images could be and Crystal Wright came up with a prototype for the puzzles and two sets of notecards. There is even a coloring book in the works.

“Seeing my father’s art going public 40+ years later warms my soul,” said Meret-Carmen, realizing the paintings are finally able to be seen and enjoyed beyond her Touchmark apartment.

Launching manymoons.net has been a dynamic collaboration between Meret-Carmen, Kristi Miller, Barbara Rich and Dan and Crystal Wright of Bend Internet Solutions. Said Rich, “We are committed to promoting original products of our own creation or others’ that can further our mission of changing the way the world works, even if just by a little.”

"“EACH MOONBABE IS ONE OF AN ORIGINAL WORK OF ART. HER CHARACTER ARISES FROM THE IMAGINATION OF HER CREATOR."“

Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Paintings by inmates of Oregon correctional institutions to benefit the Ugandan orphan children of Otino Waa Children’s Village. The exhibit continues through January 1, 2017.

In 2002, Carol and Bob Higgins, former Bend school teachers and then missionaries, responded to pleas for the rescue of orphans from the continuing violence of the Lord’s Revolutionary Army (LRA). The Higgins, assisted by the local community, sheltered and aided 78 orphans of the northern Ugandan conflict in Lira, Uganda, now home to the village.

Recognizing the need for on-going care for the rescued orphans, the Higgins created Otino Waa Children’s Village in 2003. Approximately 300 children now receive food, clothing, housing, education and spiritual support with the assistance of Bridget and Steve Hurry, in-country directors, plus native Ugandans, dedicated employees, volunteers, and worldwide beneficiaries. In residence, the children attend primary, secondary and vocational school, with some graduates continuing to higher education or skilled work.

103 NW Oregon Avenue Bend, OR 97703 541.306.3176 Open Every Day www.redchairgallerybend.com

Visions of Hope (VOH) directed by Dale and Sandy Russell in Bend, supports Otino Waa by joining its children and Oregon correctional institution inmates. In its seventh year, VOH, a volunteer organization, sells art generously created and offered by inmates statewide as a fund raiser for the village children. Franklin Crossing, during December, exhibits and sells this art with all proceeds benefiting the children. Unique in the world, Visions of Hope exemplifies the impact of individuals on lives of others. As noted

by Dale Russel, “In a gentle way, art can change the world.” For additional information contact Visions of Hope, Dale Russell, at dale@visions-hope.org, 541-420-6611 Billye Turner, art consultant, curates the Franklin Crossing displays with info at billyeturner@bendnet.com.

A6 Studio & Gallery 550 SW Industrial Way, Ste. 180, 541-330-8759 www.atelier6000.com In 1832, JMW Turner famously strode into the Royal Academy and with one deft stroke of red paint, catapulted his painting above the rest of the exhibit. According to his rival, John Constable, (Turner) has been here and fired a gun.”

Turner’s tale provided inspiration for A6’s December exhibit, Red. Showcasing original prints by A6 member artists, the show is a combination of dense, saturated color studies and exercises in restraint. As A6 founder Patricia Clark noted, “In art, red is a color caution…but at times a surprise and delight, when it works.” Juried by Kiel Fletcher of OSU-Cascades art department, Red is an interesting exploration of the power and properties of color.

According to Executive Director Dawn Boone, “A6’s artist members work in a wide range of printmaking processes, so the exhibit reflects this variety.”

Red includes etchings, collagraphs, monotypes and woodcuts. Several new and long-standing A6 members are represented in the exhibit: Paula Bullwinkle, Sharon Campbell, Patricia Clark, Jean Harkin, Gin Laughery, Helen Loeffler, Jane Quale, Adell Shetterly, Jenny Smith, Sue Trewartha-Papanic, and Julie

Her popular scarves, shawls and ponchos will be available as well.

Helen Bommarito believes that one’s daily life is enriched by using objects that are artistic and made by human hand. She creates one-of-a-kind mugs, bowls, vases, and even tea spoons using fine porcelain clay and decorates them with etched designs or hand drawn whimsical figures. Her inspiration may come from the complex simplicity of Japanese arts and philosophy, where a seemingly simple form or gesture is the distillation of much thought and experience. Or, it may come from the young children she teaches. In her jewelry, natural stones, pearls, crystals, handmade porcelain pieces and sterling silver all feature in a variety of combinations in earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Artists have been invited to create works for the wall that are 12” X 12” or less, come see the variety of works they have created for your Christmas gift giving.

Pottery Embraces Helen Bommarito

H

elen Bommarito met clay while in college. She received her art degree from University of Washington in Seattle and spent two more years studying ceramics and jewelry design at the University of Texas, Austin.

She practiced her art but eventually life intervened: and pottery was put on the back burner. “I never ever thought of it as quitting pottery. It was a part of me and I knew I would come back to it eventually. After about twnety years of operating my own music agency managing and promoting Irish musicians, I decided I was finished enabling other people’s art. Now it was time to get back to my own.”

When she moved to Bend, Helen found a studio space and became a founding member, and eventually president, of the Clay Guild of the Cascades. And she made pottery. Lots of pottery.

“Growing up in Seattle, there was plenty of Asian influence all around. I’d spend hours at

Seattle Art Museum and was especially moved by the Japanese art there.”

THE ARTS

It comes through into her pottery, in the elegant simplicity of design, the use of Asian style Shino and Celadon glazes and in her jewelry with the use of pearls and other natural materials.

“I believe that when you reach a certain level of skill in your work, you need to pass along your knowledge to others.” She now teaches community learning pottery classes at COCC. These endeavors have allowed her to explore more whimsical objects in earthenware and terra cotta.

Helen’s art is meant to be used. “Life is always better when you live with art around you,” she professes. “It is my hope that the users of my art pieces will enjoy them often and that they come to regard them as warm and familiar friends to return to again and again.”

Helen’s pottery and jewelry can be seen at Red Chair Gallery in Bend. She is a featured artist for December. www.redchairgallerybend.com

style for which he is known. He studies and paints the landscape – especially aspens – in every season.

Troy paints colorful landscapes in a distinctive, highly textured style using paint applied with a palette knife and brush. His painting style focuses on vibrant color and the effect that light and shadow have on his subject. His technique of combining vibrant colors with textured application results in bold and abstract landscapes—a loose, impressionistic

As unabashed and free-spirited as a seasoned impressionist can hope to become, Troy has channeled his inspiration toward a “complete visual experience.”

Each piece is usually a composite of a number of different elements: photographs, memories, studies and the view out his studio window, which “is full of aspens and cottonwoods, and all kinds of amazing color.”

Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery Presents A FINE ART EXHIBITION

S

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery joins the festivities of the annual Traditions holiday celebration presenting artists Karen Bandy and Barbara Slater. The exhibit opens the gallery winter quarter through February 24, 2017.

In the upper gallery, oil painter Slater exhibits endearing barnyard animals with soulful gazes and playful natures. Her subjects include a cavorting young goat, a bear with tongue protruding perhaps tasting honey just consumed, cows with emotive, kind eyes and a menagerie of charming creatures.

The artist’s devotion to animals began while growing up on her grandfather’s rich farmland in the Eden Valley in Utah where irritated heifers would finally herd her away from their baby calves. Though adoring animals and a gifted, lifetime painter, she began to paint her beloved subjects in earnest only in 2008.

Prior to that time, floral imagery was then her preferred subject and excellence in that genre garnered an invitation to participate in the prestigious Richard Schmid Art Auction in Fort Collins, Colorado. Juried into four successive shows from 2008, the 2011 auctioneer elevated her image of back lighted grapes to the live auction.

During this period, colorful roosters occasionally appeared in her art. Then, while accompanying friends on a farm visit in Fossil, Oregon, she encountered a dayold colt; childhood memories and the rich experience of the colt’s smell and soft coat compelled her to paint her first horse, The Youngster. Thus began the artist’s pursuit of Herefords in fields, multiple breeds of horses, iconographic sheep and an

34

December 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

irresistible urge to paint portraits of these animal personalities.

Now years and innumerable paintings later, her popular work commands commissions of family pets, prize-winning horses, lovely angora goats and “lots of God’s creatures.”

A graduate of Utah State University with an art minor, and now over forty years of paintings in oil, her collectors range from California and Utah to Chicago and Colorado and back to Oregon. Yet, Slater notes, her search for the next entertaining subject and her desire to continually stretch her technique and maintain enthusiasm arises from a singular goal – her growth as an artist that continually serves to attract the muse.

Exhibiting in the lower gallery is artist Karen Bandy. She studied drawing, design, painting, and sculpture at the University of Oregon and then began her earlier career in Portland in jewelry design. Upon her move to Bend in 1987, the unique beauty of her surroundings nurtured her desire to paint.

The High Desert, its vast landscape filled with aromatic sage and juniper, pines and bitterbrush, fostered her exploration of painting in acrylic. However, it was her attraction to the desert’s “animals great and small,” that inspired her subject matter of expressionistic cottontails painted in soft pastel hues and magpies amidst vivid desert flowers. The grace and charm of its creatures express through her art.

Sunriver Resort welcomes the public to the exhibition and to the Traditions celebration.

Artists’ Sunriver Gallery Urges You To KEEP CALM AND JINGLE ON

J

ust when you thought that you would never complete your holiday shopping list, the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver has some advice for you.

KEEP CALM AND JINGLE ON You can find some unique gifts for some very special people at the gallery. Although the gallery is open regularly during the holiday season, the best time to visit is the Second Saturday Celebration on December 10 from 4-6pm. The artists will be on hand to answer any questions and share wine, beer and food. Why not have some fun while polishing off your gift shopping list— maybe even a little something from Santa to you?

To help shoppers stay in the spirit of the season, the artists are featuring multiple art pieces with the color of red.

Painter Bill Hamilton captures the crisp beauty of red cardinals in the wintery snow.

But if snow isn’t your typical holiday scene, glass artist Marily Badger’s art piece featuring red flip flops may be just the ticket.

Gourd artist Susan Harkness-Williams has incorporated beautiful red flowers into the detail of a gourd vessel. And speaking of flowers, nothing is more seasonal than a painting of beautiful red poinsettias by oil painter Bonnie Junell.

Photographer Wa i s s m a n captured a bit of Sunriver’s own holiday traditionsa

horse drawn sleigh ride by the river. Painter Deni Porter demonstrates the whimsical nature of the holidays with her painting of a bear driving a red VW bug. Potter Peter Roussel provides a twist on the red theme with a beautifully textured and lidded vessel.

For shoppers looking more to the practical, potter Diane Miyauchi displays bowls of various sizes with a rich red interior.

And for that most special person on your list, jewelry artist, Karla Proud provides multiple pieces with red Oregon Sunstone gems that shine with the light of the season.

Remember, KEEP CALM AND JINGLE ON.

CALDERA ANNOUNCES 2017 ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

SISTERS

Artists create bold new works in Central Oregon and connect with local communities.

C

aldera celebrates its 20th year of programming by announcing three dynamic and diverse groups of Artists in Residence (AiR). Every winter Caldera welcomes artists from around the world for month-long stays at its Arts Center on Blue Lake in Central Oregon.

Residencies are awarded based on a competitive application process open to artists from all disciplines. They are a crucial part of the artistic process giving many artists time and space away from the distractions of daily life to focus on their craft. In 2017, residents will create new works in dance, sculpture, culinary arts, fiber arts, theatre, poetry, film and many other genres.

AiR's are integrated into Caldera’s year-round youth program. Select AiR's will teach workshops or host presentations to middle and high school students in Central Oregon, including

a special week-long documentary film workshop in Warm Springs by Jamie Howell of Leavenworth, Washington.

Howell’s residency is made possible by a collaboration between Caldera, BendFilm and The Museum at Warm Springs.

This year, for the first time, Artists in Residence will provide free, public workshops in Sisters and Bend.

Workshops will include memoir writing, arts for social activism, somatic poetry, and more. Maesie Speer, Caldera facilities program manager, says, “We are excited to expand the opportunities for Central Oregonians to engage with our artists who come from all over the country to be inspired by the place we call home. These artists are not only advancing their own work, but are deeply committed to teaching and engaging with community.”

Caldera’s Artists in Residence

Program is one of the few in the nation that supports parent artists by allowing children and an additional caretaker to accompany an artist during their stay.

Caldera Creative Director Elizabeth Quinn notes, “As a nonprofit committed to the development of young people, we see the support of parent artists as a natural extension of our work. It’s critical that our programs are as accessible as possible to all artists and supportive of their families.”

The last Saturday of each month of residencies ( January 28, February 25 and March 25) the Caldera Arts Center (31500 Blue Lake Drive, Sisters) opens its doors to the public from 12:30–3:30pm for AiR Open Studios when Artists in Residence and youth share their work with the public through presentations and performances. This event is free and light refreshments will be served.

Friends of Redmond Expanding Focus

T

he Friends of the Redmond Branch Library, a 501c3 nonprofit, announce the group will be doing business as Friends of Redmond Oregon or FORO. FORO will work to extend fundraising to include all of Redmond.

As a part of this expanded fundraising, FORO has opened a second used bookstore to serve the community. The new bookstore, reBOOKS,” is located in the Redmond’s Bazaar at 531 NW Elm Street.

The Friends opened reBOOKS for the following reasons: •To ensure that The Friends are able to continue their long history of raising funds through the sale of used books when the Redmond Library undergoes an extended period of renovation.

•The Friends were notified that the Library will be taking over the current Bookshop space to better provide library services to meet the needs of growing community.

•The limited space in the remodeled Redmond Library would no longer

meet the needs of the Redmond community for low-cost quality used books.

The Friends wanted to broaden how they serve their community. Books, art and cards sold in reBOOKS raise funds which are exclusively used to support other organizations operating in Redmond.

The Friends will continue to operate the Friends Bookshop until construction begins in the Redmond Library. Per a long standing commitment, all proceeds from sales in the Friends Bookshop will continue to support the Redmond Library.

For the convenience of the public, prices at both reBOOKS and the Friends Bookshop are the same. Both locations will gladly accept donations of books, CDs and DVDs. Redmond’s Bazaar and reBOOKS hours of operation are: Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-6pm. The Friends Bookshop at 541-312-1060 or Redmond’s Bazaar at 541-548-1015.

DINING

WASHINGTON

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD

F

By LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop Photos Courtesy of Washington

or a neighborhood community that prides itself on offering its residents most of the amenities they need, NorthWest Crossing’s restaurant offerings could only be deemed as skimpy. So Washington’s recent arrival on the scene is a welcome addition. And with a few tweaks, even Bendites who live on the other side of town will be dropping in for a beverage and a bite.

Our dinner started brilliantly with a deep, moderately priced and oh-so tasty Cabernet and two delectable cocktails made with fresh juice. We were on our way! I wasn’t sure whether I liked the drinks, the airy and appealing environment, or the view of the mountains most. By the end of the evening I would conclude that the professionalism and contagious friendliness of Washington’s staff is what really sets the restaurant apart.

My three friends and I ordered the citrus-marinated olives almost as soon as we sat at our table. I could smell the lemon before the server had even put the bowl down. Lemon and olives are a divine duo. The addition of tarragon, parsley and chives really made the dish dance.

Lightly battered tempura green beans, served al dente with a garlicky aioli, were just as delicious. We also loved the crispy Brussel sprouts with Calabrian chili (can you say heat?), briny feta and sour pickled cranberries.

What a fantastic combination!

We followed with two salads. The Family-Style Caesar Bowl, which serves two, could have used a bit more anchovy and lemon for my taste, but the presentation and the croutons were lovely.

One of the biggest hits of the night

was the frisėe and arugula salad with roasted butternut squash, dried figs and hazelnuts in a champagne-honey vinaigrette. The slightly bitter greens perfectly balanced the sweet of the squash and the dressing. Eight thumbs up.

With that kind of a start, we couldn’t wait for the rest of the meal. The entrees, we would discover, need a little work and a lot more seasoning. We liked the Beech Mushroom Carbonara—on point with the wine and light cream sauce. For a dish with a little— or a lot—more zip, I’ve heard that the Angry Crab Pasta, with hand-cut noodles, cherry tomatoes, scallions, garlic and Calabrian chili provides all that and more. We also enjoyed the bacon-crusted bison meatloaf which was quite tasty. They’ll really have a dish to write home about if they swap the baked potato for the fantastic smashed potatoes that accompany the chicken and the plain Brussels for the crispy ones they serve as an appetizer.

We tried three of the four desserts. While they were fine, next time I’ll follow our server’s advice and order the fresh, hot donut holes served with coffee anglaise, chocolate sauce and fresh berry sauce.

Yes, I’ll be back.

I can’t wait to taste what happens when Washington really hits its stride.

Eleanor took pharmaceutical positions in Portland that allowed plenty of time for skiing, and it was there she met her husband, on a ski trip, of course. She wasn’t unhappy when her husband was ordered to an Air Force base in Reno. The skiing was much better than on Mount Hood, where there were no chair lifts at the time.

It was in Reno, Nevada that Eleanor realized that she missed music.

She joined the University Community Symphony and took free lessons from its violinist conductor. She played in the Reno Opera Orchestra and became interested in chamber music.

Eventually Eleanor and family, including two children, moved back to Portland to be closer to grandparents. There, she joined the Portland State University Orchestra.

In the 1973 she and her family moved to Bend. Why? For the skiing of course. And it was there that Central Oregon Symphony Conductor Jerry Yahna showed up on her doorstep with music in hand.

“The orchestra was small and the audiences were primarily families of musicians.” Today, 43 years later, the 87-year-old Eleanor continues to play with the Central Oregon Symphony. She said she was going to retire last year, but wanted to be a part of the 50th anniversary and especially the Children’s Concert in February.

When asked about practicing, she said her hour a day has slipped....but don’t tell Michael. And come ski season, don’t expect to see Eleanor at the winter concerts. She wants guilt-free skiing!

THE TOW

N’S

ALL

his photo of Eleanor Davidson says it all, a life of balancing her two joys: skiing and violin.

Unlike many Symphony members, Eleanor didn’t grow up in a musical family. An accountant dad and public health nurse mom mandated the typical piano lessons for the six-year-old Eleanor, who promptly quit practicing because she didn’t like her teacher.

Then mom signed her up for violin, and being the “good” child she was, she practiced an hour a day, always watching the clock. Eleanor got her first taste of classical music at the Seattle Symphony in which her Julliard-trained violin teacher was a musician.

By high school Eleanor discovered the great outdoors, started skiing and took climbing lessons from the Seattle Mountaineers. Soon the high school orchestra took second place to her skiing and climbing and she remembers being demoted to the junior orchestra.

By college age, Eleanor realized that skiing was not going to make her a living, nor was music. “I wasn’t competitive enough to deal with trying for that one open violin chair with 500 people vying for it.”

Four years later she graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelors degree in pharmacy.

Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra + Royal Jelly Jive Roll Into Bend

M

arty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra and Royal Jelly Jive are heading out on the Deep Pacific Tour this December performing at the Volcanic on December 9. They will be hitting the road and playing at venues throughout Oregon, ending with a show in Washington State. These two California native bands will bring their unique and soulful sounds to audiences and share their passion through powerful live performances.

Marty O’Reilly & the Old Soul Orchestra’s music has a new, soulful folk sound that feels familiar. With bits of blues, folk and soul that aren’t quite just those things. Marty’s voice is beautiful and distinctive, and his lyrics stark, yet lush over gritty electrified guitar. Add in Chris Lynch’s violin, Matt Goff ’s percussion and Ben Berry’s rich bass and your ears get a beautifully melded sound inviting you into the obvious chemistry of these friends.

The band formed in Santa Cruz California in 2012 and has been touring relentlessly ever since, from San Francisco to New Orleans to London to Seattle. With the live performance at the core of this musical project it is an act that often brings a sensation to its audience that is both entrancing and hard to describe. The one true solution is that you must see it for yourselves.

Royal Jelly Jive is one of the few bands with the ability to evoke an old-school throwback vibe while still being able to embody an entirely fresh and new sound. They combine elements of soul, rock, swing and hip-hop, bringing a sound that makes it impossible not to groove and dance along for its audience.

Fronted by the enigmatic singer Lauren Bjelde, who brings a one-of-a-kind sultry voice to her magnetic stage presence, Royal Jelly Jive leans on the sounds of swingin' horns, gritty keys and a bumpin' rhythm section to carry a crowd into bliss, creating an unforgettable live experience that will leave you wanting more.

Since forming in San Francisco's own Boom Boom Room in the summer of 2013, Royal Jelly Jive has quickly become one of the Bay Area's most anticipated acts. They are a band driven by playing hi-energy shows and festivals across the West Coast (BottleRock, Outside Lands) to captivate audiences with their infectious music. Royal Jelly Jive has shared stages with notable acts such as Michael Franti& Spearhead, Rebirth Brass Band, Con Brio, and The California Honeydrops. They’ve sold-out San Francisco venues The Chapel, Great American Music Hall, The Independent and Slim’s. The sum of six standout musicians truly makes Royal Jelly Jive one of San Francisco’s breakout bands.

Get Ready, The Bad Plus Are Coming to Town

T

BendBroadband’s Jazz at the Oxford

hrough March, world-class jazz continues at the Oxford hotel’s intimate jazz ballroom located in the heart of downtown Bend.

January 13-14: The Bad Plus The Bad Plus came together at the end of the 20th century and has avoided easy categorization ever since, winning critical hosannas and a legion of fans worldwide with their creativity, unique sound and flair for live performance. Based in New York City, the intensely collaborative trio has constantly searched for rules to break and boundaries to cross, bridging genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of three exceptional musicians working in perfect sync.

The Bad Plus’ tenth studio recording, Inevitable Western, sees bassist

Reid Anderson, pianist Ethan Iverson and drummer David King further honing the same conceptual base that fired their inception. Yet again they continue to explore myriad musical forms born of jazz along with any sonic source that forwards music that is uniquely The Bad Plus. Inevitable Western is an album where pop, blues, and folk meld with classic melodies and rhythmic innovation into that rarest of hybrids: intelligent music for the masses.

“This season is going to be phenomenal. We cannot wait to welcome these artists to the Bend community,” said Ben Perle, Oxford Corporate’s regional vice president of operations.

Shows will be at 8pm on Fridays and at 5pm and 8pm on Saturdays. www.jazzattheoxford.com 503-432-9477

Riverhouse Jazz Presents Alan Jones Sextet

B

orn and raised in Portland, Alan Jones is one of America and Europe’s most creative jazz drummers, bandleaders and composers. As a teenager, he toured with organist Count Dutch and saxophonist Jim Pepper prior to attending and graduating from the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Jones has studied with Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Jaco Pastorius, Roy Haynes and Billy Higgins, and this tutelage has helped him become the drum phenomenon that he is today.

When Jones isn’t conducting master classes and drum clinics all across the U.S. and Europe, he is busy as an educator via the Alan Jones Academy of Music (AJAM) in Portland, an innovative education system focused on personal and collective improvisation. Even with this busy schedule, he still makes time to lead his own Sextet, a multi-generational band of some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest musicians including trumpeter Charlie Porter, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, alto saxophonist John Nastos, pianist Greg Goebel and bassist Jon Lakey. www.riverhouse.com/jazz

NEW PERSPECTIVE for DECEMBER

pportunities are plentiful as we start this month. Make a decision on the 2nd then step forward the next day and let the world see what you have chosen. Action taken on the 6th will create a positive shift of energy and a new beginning. A change of heart the next day could help you see you have a variety of choices. Pay attention and make the right choice for you.

Conversations on the 10th are insightful and will help you make change during the Full Moon on the 13th. There’s a definite rippling effect over the next week so be willing to make a lot of changes. Stepping back on the 19th will allow you to see the bigger picture. More decisions are being made as the Winter Solstice arrives on the 21st and there will be many more before the end of the month.

Significant decisions on the 24th will open the door for cooperative changes. Follow your heart over the next few days and you will be glad that you did. Opportunities on the 26th may come from a different direction than you expected. The New Moon on the 28th is filled with intense conversations and it will be important to let go of the past. Be honest about the messages that you get on the 30th and realize the next steps you take will require blind faith. Trust yourself enough to step into the unknown and remind yourself that you are more than ready for this change.

Love and Light Always,
