Pop Up Art
I’m one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music. ~ Tom Waits
T
he luxury of the internet, if you put it in the extravagance column, has undeniably opened up the art world to a wider audience. It’s easy to pop open a visual artist’s website and view their work. If you know the artist and want to procure or custom order a piece, the internet is a savvy way to do so. The performance artist has a rather incredible opportunity to go viral with all the places for listeners to tap into their music from Facebook, Google+, YouTube and Spotify. It’s especially appealing when you want to hear a song or musician instantly and all you have to do is pop up the tune on your phone, iPad or computer. No waiting or searching in a store, just instant music. However, it’s hard to experience the art of our Roundabouts by looking at them online or appreciate the texture, quality and ambience of an original piece of art without viewing it in person. The internet has afforded us an opportunity to not miss anything, even a gallery opening, when you can go online and take a look at the exhibit. It doesn’t, however, provide the experience of the casual perusal of real art The internet has afforded nor a personal conversation about the creative enrichment the artist us an opportunity to not looks to employ.
miss anything, even a gallery opening, when you can go online and take a look at the exhibit. It doesn’t, however, provide the experience of the casual perusal of real art nor a personal conversation about the creative enrichment the artist looks to employ.
The New York Times Sunday magazine went a little further on the internet phenomenon last month when it penned All the World’s a Gallery. It noted that the internet has “for years allowed aspiring stars a way to circumvent the industry machine in order to hit it big” all through social media. This innovative marketing tool has successful artists posting their work on Facebook, Twitter and Instragram. It may not sound like a viable outlet for the art world but social media is helping to bridge geographic distances. How? When a celebrated player (i.e. a famous movie, musician or sports star) happens to see an artist’s work, and likes it, they can tweet it to their 13,000 or so fans and it goes viral. Still I have to go back to the you had to be there. I am a big fan of Tom Waits, but little did I know how really amazing this iconic songwriter, storyteller, musician is until I saw him up close and personal. I had to pinch
myself and my friend, Joanne, to make sure we were really there. And I couldn’t believe the excitement of seeing a Beatle (Ringo) perform right here in a little ole Bend, Oregon. You could not replicate that memory in an online experience. Hunting for CDs and old vinyl records can be an entertaining way to pass the time on Amazon, but there’s something poetic about dropping into Ranch Records or Recycle Music and scavenging through the music selections. I’m touched by instant access to the art world, both performance and visual, but I hope you’ll still join me on occasion and visit our galleries, the theatres and the stages in Central Oregon. Enjoy the sounds over the holidays, nothing beats Christmas music (in my view)! “Premier Destination Workshops!”

Sunriver Music Festival Awarded Challenge Grant The Sunriver Music Festival has been awarded a $100,000 matching challenge grant through the Tykeson Family Foundation. The Tykeson Challenge Grant will be used to match, dollar for dollar, the Sunriver Music Festival’s permanent endowment gifts. The Festival board has established a goal of $400,000 to be raised in three fiscal years between October 2014 – September 2017. “The purpose of this three year challenge grant is to provide the Festival with a permanent endowment that will provide long term financial stability for its artistic and educational programs,” explains Jim Putney,
the Festival’s funding committee chair. “As the endowment grows, the investment will begin to generate annual earnings that could be used to support the summer festival and education programs.” The significant Tykeson Challenge Grant was given by Don Tykeson, the former owner of BendBroadband. He committed his gift to encourage others to make sure this Festival has a bright and prosperous future.

Lubbesmeyers: This Year’s Jubelale Artwork Each year, Deschutes Brewery commissions a piece from a different local artist to adorn their winter seasonal beer, Jubelale. For the 2014 vintage, the brewery asked Lori and Lisa Lubbesmeyer to create a fiber art piece to use on the label and packaging for this beloved holiday beer. The Lubbesmeyers, who have a studio in Bend’s Old Mill District, developed a beautiful piece that depicts a festive winter pastime. Their final composition is based on the unabashed fun of sledding along with a happy dog bounding in the billowing snow. The twins’ artwork for Jubelale 2014 was created through the Lubbesmeyer’s unique method of layering and overstitching with fabrics. The fracturing of shape and saturation of color occur layer by layer - allowing the texture of the fiber to build the imagery as they’ve responded to each other’s work. The Old Mill District has developed 40 banners of the artwork for the street posts along Bond Street and Reed Market to help celebrate both the Lubbesmeyers’ art and the beauty of the winter season. Local Writers Honored with Oregon Film Award Bend writers Denice Hughes Lewis and Suzan Noyes received a second place award from Oregon Film Awards’ screenplay category for Mission Implausible: The Undead Identity. This screenplay also made the top 100 out of 1,100 entries in the International Screenwriter’s Association’s Emerging Screen- Denice Hughes Lewis and Suzan Noyes writers competition. Hughes Lewis is a professional screenwriter, children’s writer and editor with wins in the Catalina Film Festival, the International Global eBook awards and Central Oregon Writers Guild’s Harvest Writer’s competition. This is her second screenplay win from Oregon Film Awards. She is also a director of local stage plays at 2nd Street Theater and through BEAT. Noyes is a member of the High Desert Writers Guild and the Central Oregon Writers Guild. She’s a commercial artist specializing in murals and scenic design and a professional writer of articles, essays, short stories, plays and screenplays. Huges Lewis, Noyes and Skip Clark’s screenplay, Boarders won awards at Catalina Film Festival and the Oregon Film Awards. She produced her stage comedy: Crazy About Me at 2nd Street Theater in 2013. Hot Spot in Pompeii will be produced in May, 2015.

Fractured Fairy Tales & Myths with Judith Montgomery & Suzanne Burns
W
Bend Filmmaker Produces Log Rolling Documentary
B
etween 1958 and 1972, four young women from the Lewiston, Idaho area took the log rolling world by storm. These four petite young women won 11 world titles at the Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, Wisconsinin. In addition to all being from the same timber town they had another thing in common, their coach, a pond monkey at the local millpond. The recently completed documentary Queens of the Roleo is their story. Producer Dave Jones stumbled upon this story by virtue of his early days as a reporter-‐anchor at KLEW-‐TV in Lewiston. “Back then I heard a little about log rolling in Lewiston in the 1960s. Recently I Googled the topic and was amazed to find out that Lewiston was, for a while, the log rolling capital of the world!” Jones found that Bette Ellis, Barbara Peturka, Cindy Cook and Penni McCall won 11 world championships in 14 years. “That got my attention right away,” Jones says. “They were the ‘Michael Jordans’ of their sport.” When Jones contacted the girls’ former coach, Roy Bartlett (age 87), he knew he hit the log rolling jackpot. “Roy Bartlett lives and breathes log rolling. He remembers everything from his years coaching and competing.” Queens of the Roleo includes interviews with the four queens of the roleo, Bartlett, and others. The documentary features old home movies of the girls competing, old film of log drives and even priceless home movies of Roy Bartlett and Dick Moore log rolling in the Potlatch millpond. Jones is a former television reporter and news director and a Telly-‐award winning public affairs program producer. He has launched a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign to recoup a portion of the film production costs. www.kickstarter.com/projects/queensoftheroleo Dave Jones 541-706‐1053, dbjones@bendcable.com Dave Jones

hat if Gretel stayed in the forest? What does Death do on vacation? Come to the dark and delicious side of the folk stories you know and love with Bend poets Suzanne Burns and Judith Montgomery, guest readers at December’s Second Sunday. Second Sunday has often featured two poets reading together, but the pairing of Burns and Montgomery is more than just two poets reading in the same space on the same day. Both poets have explored fairy tales and myths in their poems and December’s Second Sunday provides an opportunity to observe how the voices of two poets can blend together. Open mic follows the reading. Montgomery and Burns are both quick to point out what their poetry has in common. “We both infuse our poems with a love of language,” says Burns. “I am a confirmed dictionary lover,” says Montgomery, “and a hoarder of delicious words.” Both poets came to fairy tales and myths as young readers. “Fairy tales were the first stories I grew up hearing,” says Burns, “and I became enchanted when I found an illicit copy of the Grimm’s Fairy Tales, filled with all the mystery and gore a pre-teen could hope for.” Montgomery points to Edith Hamilton’s stories of Greek and Roman mythology as her gateway into myths and fairy tales. “Tales of minotaurs and wicked or maybe not-so-wicked, only misunderstood, witches offer delicious possibilities for exploring the ‘other side’ of any given story,” she says. According to Montgomery, Fractured Fairy Tales allow us to look at an ancient tale from the point of view of minor characters. “Fractured Fairy Tales open up new worlds, interior and exterior. Plus it’s just fun to break the everyday open into the wonder-full,” she says. Montgomery’s poems appear in Bellingham Review, Cimarron Review, Measure and Prairie Schooner, among other journals, and in a number of anthologies. Her first collection, Passion, received the 2000 Oregon Book Award for Poetry. Her second, Red Jess, a finalist for several first-book competitions, appeared in 2006 from Cherry Grove Collections. Pulse & Constellation, a finalist for the Finishing Line Press Open Chapbook Competition, appeared in 2007 from the Press. She lives with her husband and Springer spaniel in Bend, Oregon, enjoys judging poetry competitions, and teaches poetry workshops throughout the state. Burns writes poetry and fiction in Bend, Oregon (and sometimes in Paris, France). Red Paint Hill Publishing recently published Siblings, a retelling of Hansel and Gretel and the 2013 Diagram Innovative Fiction Prize winner. In autumn Futurecyle Press published the poetry chapbook, Love Songs for Las Vegas. Black Scat Books just released her first experimental novel, Sweet and Vicious.

olcanic Theatre Pub (VTP) and Derek Sitter return with last year’s smash hit The Santaland Diaries written by David Sedaris and adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello. The Santaland Diaries is written by humorist/comedian/ author Sedaris (Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk, When You Are Engulfed in Flames) and recounts his experience working as an elf at Santaland in Macy’s Herald Square. The reading/performance is accompanied with over 150 hilarious, and often touching slides on the 16-foot cinema screen. Sitter promises there are at least 60 new slides this year that help illustrate this hysterical and crazy journey. He says, “This performance is often dark and pointed.” Sedaris himself is not a fan of the superficial play adaptation that is often performed for cheap laughs and misses the humanity (and inhumanity) of our commercialized holiday season. Sedaris states in a letter, “I’m reluctant to have any of my stories adapted for the stage. I gave permission once before (Santaland) and have regretted it ever since. To me they’re just stories meant to live on the page or read aloud. Costumes and sets do nothing to enhance them.” He continues with, “Santaland, though it’s now performed by theatre companies across the country, still fails to work as a play.”
Derek Sitter in The Santaland Diaries
Sitter continues “I intend to honor the writer’s intention of the original story with a very truthful reading/performance that, although still humorous, is often dark and potentially offensive, yet always touching and hopeful in the end…but I still wear the costume.” December 4–20. Show begins at 7:30pm, $10. Volcanic Theatre Pub at 70 SW Century Drive (next to GoodLife Brewing). www.bendticket.com The show opens with a preview on Thursday December 4 with a Pay As You Cans (PAYC) admission.

BendFilm 2014 Winner, Final Pose Sparks End of Life Conversations at Local Screening
est of The Northwest BendFilm 2014 winner, Final Pose, screening at The Belfry in Sisters Wednesday, December 3 at 7pm, will be a tool for sparking end of life conversations, with panelists from Bend Ashtanga Yoga, Compassion and Choices and Partners In Care, supporting the thought-provoking discussion that follows the film’s viewing. “It’s a film that encourages the broad discussion—from the realities of terminal illness, to the emotional challenges of facing death, to clarifying one’s wishes at the end,” says Matt Whitaker, Oregon outreach coordinator, compassion and choices, who attended the BendFilm Final Pose premiere. “It’s a remarkable rallying tool for the tough conversations,”said Whittaker, a panelist for the December screening. The locally filmed, 13-minute short documentary presents a series of interviews with Sisters yoga instructor Myra Fisher, who talks about life and death as she reflects on letting go of one practice, her yoga, while taking on another–her dying of a rare cancer. “A last wish of Myra’s–to help inspire the conversation–is being realized in unexpected ways,” says the film’s Bend-based Director Karin Mellberg. “The film’s Fall release, coinciding with an unprec-
edented rise in media coverage of death and dying, makes Final Pose a timely community engagement tool.” This increased interest in end of life issues has been sparked, in part, by the advocacy of Death with Dignity legislation by 29-year-old Brittany Maynard; the release of the Institute of Medicine report, Dying In America, describing a healthcare system that is failing us at the end; as well as the news that Medicare may begin reimbursement of end of life conversations. Ninety percent of Americans think it’s important to have conversations about end of life wishes, but only 30 percent of us have actually had those conversations, according to a recent survey conducted by The Conversation Project, one of a handful of non-profits dedicated to transforming our culture so we shift from not talking about dying to talking about it. The December Belfry program is the first of an unfolding 2015 schedule of Final Pose viewings that will offer screenings followed by panel discussions to help move end of life conversations forward. www.finalposethefilm.com. The event is open to the public, tickets $5 online at www. belfryevents.com, and $10 at the door

“L
ove what you do, do it with integrity, and always give back to the community.” It is this simple philosophy of Deb Spicer’s, owner of Eastlake Framing, that serves as a recipe for 30 years of success for the fine art, photo and custom frame shop located in Bend, Oregon. Combining her love of art, the local community and helping others, Spicer has made a big impact on the custom framing scene in Central Oregon over the last 30 years. Employees of Eastlake Framing have been with the company for nearly two decades. Community involvement is a long-standing corporate objective of the shop, and since 1984, Eastlake Framing has contributed thousands of dollars and thousands of in-kind product donations to improve the community we live in. They contribute annually to over 40 local organizations and causes. “We are so proud to be a part of the Bend community and overjoyed to be celebrating our 30th anniversary this year,” said Spicer. “Having been in Central Oregon for so long, we have really built valuable, long-lasting relationships over the years. Not only are we passionate about what we do, but Central Oregon makes it easy to be passionate about the community we live and do business in.” Eastlake Framing has grown over the years, developing a retail footprint that is three-times the size of an average frame shop in the U.S. They have been recognized as the small business with the best consumer-marketing program in the country by the Photo Marketing Association/Professional Picture Framing Association (PMA/PPFA). They were also recognized as the Bend Chamber’s 2008 Distinguished Small Business. Eastlake Framing invites the public to join them as they celebrate their 30th Anniversary on Friday, December 12 from 5-9pm. The event, held at
1335 Galveston Ave., will feature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, cake, live music and an outdoor tent for people to celebrate the well-known Central Oregon framing business. Throughout the evening, Deb Spicer guests will have the opportunity to meet and greet local photographers, who will all be present along with their fine photography on display. In honor of celebrating 30 years, the long-standing business is hosting a giveaway for a chance to win a Swarovski pearl necklace and matching earrings. This event is open to the public and free to attend. www.eastlakeframing.com, 541-389-3770
Debra A. Borine Bliss Glass of Bend

Glass work by Debra A. Borine
orine fell in love with glass 36 years ago when she made a leaded glass window and her love of light and color was then expressed in a variety of stained glass pieces. Once she discovered fused glass though, she knew that she had found her medium. The anticipation and excitement prior to opening the kiln after a fuse is akin to Christmas morning. The wonder of it never gets old. Borine has spent the last seven years immersed in this amazing medium and has learned many interesting and technical glass kilnforming techniques. Kilnformed, fused or warm glass as it is known, is formed by layering two or more pieces of sheet glass and then fusing it together in a kiln to form a solid piece of glass. Heat and gravity allow it to change and assume a different shape on a second firing. Exploring with light, texture and depth and experimenting with the limits of glass has helped her evolve and grow in her medium. Borine has been continually drawn to the unlimited possibilities of glass and the many different ways she and warm glass both express themselves. Always having felt compelled to create, Borine has tried her hand at many different mediums, including stained glass, hoop and basket weaving, quilting, fiber art and needlework, metal art and jewelry. But for her, nothing compares to glass. She has visited fused glass studios and galleries on the west coast and also in Norway, Sweden and British Columbia, Canada. Borine is currently an instructor for COCC and has taught at the Art Station. She is a founding member and instructor at the Glass Guild of Bend and the owner of Bliss Glass. Her work has been shown at: Glass Symphony Gallery, Bend; DonTerra/Vista Bonita Gallery, Sisters; The Red Chair Gallery, Bend. Cascade A&E December 2014 15

A World Defined by Light in Natasha Bacca’s Work by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor
N
atasha Bacca’s artistic process is unique. And by unique, we mean one-of-a-kind. The local professor and artist has captured light and color using an innovative process that has garnered national and international attention. Through pushing the boundaries of the traditional photographic process, her patented technique explores the world in vibrant hues, shades and silhouettes. Bacca has always been an artist. “Early on I was interested in anything I could get my hands on,” she explained, “ceramics, drawing, painting, photography…everything!” In high school after she had taken all the art classes offered, she looked to the local college, Modesto Junior College, for her next creative outlet. Once at the University of Oregon for her bachelors degree, Bacca continued her exploration into different art forms, but found a powerful draw to photography. “During the time I was pursuing my photography-based art degree I witnessed meteoric changes within the photographic world. The once commanding darkroom was being replaced by the newest computer lab, while prosperous photography businesses were closing their doors forever,” she explained. “I both embraced and questioned the digital world photography was being assimilated into. I delved further into the basic concepts of photography; where it came from, what it meant and where it was going.” Her exploration into the discipline, and even root meaning of the word “photography” (photo meaning light, graph meaning to write) brought Bacca’s attention to a very literal translation: writing with light. “Following extensive research, I developed various methods of painting with light on photosensitive paper and designed different tools for this purpose,” she said. What followed
became an unexpected journey into the world of patents. Bacca knew her process was unlike anything else out there, so kept her exploration a secret. The impetus for a patent came when her husband suggested attending a meeting with the Central Oregon Inventors Guild. “I started going to meetings for fun,” she explained. “Artists and inventors have a very similar creative process, and they were talking a lot about patents. It wasn’t something I had ever thought about before.” Initially she thought it seemed like too big of a process. A lawyer would have to be hired to write the documents, and she wouldn’t be selling a product like most pursuing a patent. “The more I hung out at the meetings and heard about patents though, the more I thought I could do it. On a whim I picked up some patent books at the library, and decided to author it myself instead of hiring a lawyer,” she said. Bacca began researching the process in 2006, applied in 2008 and was awarded the patent in 2011. “An interesting thing happens when you compare the patent process to college; when you go to college you take all of these classes and are guaranteed a degree, but with a patent you go through all these steps and it’s just a gamble, it’s a waiting game, a three year waiting game,” she said. “What the patent does for me is set me aside from other artists, which was especially valuable in the beginning.” Bacca’s work has explored abstracts, nature, wine and even potato heads, but it’s her passion for health and healing that directs most of her attention. Many of the pieces that hang in hospitals or healing environments are from her nature series; a body of work that explores flowers and trees through color and light. “I really enjoy working with healthcare, and

Garden Trip
I like combining that with my art,” she explained. “I love all of the little details of a flower or leaf, a tree or a branch, they are always different.” Layering and colors are essential to her compositions as well. “I don’t do subtle,” Bacca said in reference to the brilliant hues she works with. “Some people prefer a more muted pallet, but that’s not my work; bright and colorful is a primary element of my work.” In addition to pioneering her technique of painting with light, Bacca is a professor of photography at Central Oregon Community College. Her education pursuits began at Modesto where she studied early childhood education along with art. “I taught infants, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school children,” she said, “so I always had a balance [of art and education.]” Then she went on to get her masters degree in education at Eastern Oregon University, a path that led her to teach at the high school and college level. “I love working in the dark room and showing students the history and the roots of photography; a lot of students are not familiar with that because they were born into a digital world,” she said. Bacca teaches part time and works as an artist full time, a combination that many artists are familiar with. “The work just doesn’t stop,” she said. “But constantly learning is important. Not every avenue you try works out, and that’s ok. It’s challenging but exciting.” And the learning hasn’t just been focused on her artistic pursuits. “The business side of being an artist is not taught at art school,” she commented. “I’m still learning as I go; there isn’t a right way or wrong way, but people are surprised to learn that less than 50 percent of my time is spent creating art.” Sales, marketing, travel and more all make up a significant part of a professional artist’s life. “There are a lot of ways to sell art, and that’s something I didn’t realize in the beginning, and I’m still exploring!” she exclaimed. Bacca’s cover artwork Jubelale 2010, was featured on the Deschutes Brewery label for their seasonal brew, Jubelale, four years ago and her work has been featured on OPB’s series Oregon Art Beat, in addition to being collected at institutions like NASA, Hilton
Hotels, Kaiser Permanente, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, Lane Community College and in many private collections. “People know that it’s a different process when they see the work,” she said. “They say they’ve never seen anything like it before.” www.natashabacca.com

Shetterly, local Bend artist, has followed her own artistic path as defined in ink. The exhibition investigates the Fire Dancing I by Adell Shetterly artists’ process, techniques in printmaking and feature origiVeil by Adell Shetterly nal hand pulled prints. A variety of techniques can be used in printmaking, and this art form is one of the oldest in the world. Shetterly’s original prints are created from print plates in which the artistic design is originated onto the plate by hand, either by carving as in linocut, construction as in collagraph or markmaking as in monoprints and solar engravings. The prints are all “pulled” manually from a printing press. “The great thing about printmaking is that you are learning something new each time you print,” says Shetterly. “There are so many printmaking permutations – it’s what I love about printmaking. Design possibilities, techniques and variations on how the methods might be combined. Every new work reinforces what I do know – but it also instigates excitement about discovering something new. It is what and how you make of it – printmaking is innovative, creative and open with potential and growth in knowledge of technique and tools that are at hand. It is captivating.” Shetterly, a founding member of Atelier 6000 has had access to the print press and artistic energy the environment provides. “Working with other artists reinforces skill sets and opens new roads to discovery and investigation. It keeps my printmaking evolving.” Additional prints are on exhibit at Atelier 6000.

Dynamic Duo Shares Insight into Their Designs Rubbish Renewed Eco-Fashion Show set for January
by CHELSEA CALLICOTT for Cascade A&E
Cecile is an architectural designer at Tozer Design and Nicole is her 18 year old daughter, a recent Summit High grad who will soon begin a program in Costume Design at Arts University Bournemouth in England. This creative duo share a passion for design and have participated in three of the past four Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Shows.
R
Most recently they created over 90 costumes for the Summit High School performance of Shrek, The Musical, one of many theatre productions for which they have designed costumes. Though they work in different media, Cecile says the similarities are surprising. “I work in buildings and Nicole with clothing. In both there is the design, the construction and the end result is a tangible product.” Photo courtesy of Chelsea Callicott

And while design is Cecile’s profession, from an early age Nicole had chosen her art form. Cecile commented, “As a Montessori preschooler, Nicole’s journals would be filled with entries like, ‘Today, I am wearing purple tights.’ As she got older she’d draw pictures of herself and ubbish Renewed is an eco-fashion show her friends in outfits she’d make up. that features the work of local designFashion has always been her world.” ers and students made from recycled and repurposed materials as a fundraiser for Realms, a Nicole’s shift toward costuming charter middle school. came in 2005, when she witnessed The evening includes a live and silent auction, Oscar-award-winning designer Jacmarketplace, food carts and beverages, and will be queline Durran’s take on the clothheld Thursday, January 15, 2015 with shows at 6 and ing of 19th century England in the 8pm at the Bend Armory. film Pride and Prejudice.

n an interview with mother-daughter designers Cecile and Nicole Cuddihy, I felt like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. The Cuddihy home studio is a wonderland of past costumes, sketches, display boards and raw material and was the venue where they shared their inspirations, recent projects and upcoming plans with me one afternoon.

Then a high school senior, Nicole saved volumes of college marketing materials from which she made a corset-cage, which she paired with a graduation robe made of college letters. Previously, Nicole made a cape dress of Back Porch coffee bags and Cecile constructed a party dress out of men’s shirts as well as a striking shift dress from paper road maps. This year’s inspiration for Nicole came from a Samurai Warriors exhibit they visited in Portland. She comments, “I was particularly intrigued by the small segments of different materials woven together in close proximity to each other. I’d like to bring that into my piece this year, and push the nonfabric side of fashion.” “Rubbish Renewed gives us a chance to try out different techniques and materials, and there are always people cheering for you,” comments Cecile. “Seeing the variety of entries in Rubbish Renewed is both impressive and inspirational.” To step into the world of Cecile and Nicole, even for a few hours, is to become intrigued by the possibilities that exist for creative expression. “I am always learning of new places I can go with costumes,” concluded Nicole. I, for one, can’t wait to see where this passion takes her.
“A Candle loses nothing of its light by lighting another candle.”

Patrick Lamb Christmas Concert
Presented by Sunriver Music Festival & Sunriver Resort
Photographers at Sunriver Resort
S
unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery joins the Traditions celebration with Photography of the High Desert Region featuring photographers representing the Oregon Natural Desert Association and Bend photographer Dave Kamperman. Thru January 4, 2015. More than a decade ago, a group of self-proclaimed “desert rats” evolved the idea of a photographic collection dedicated to Oregon’s high desert. That annual collection, showcasing the high desert region’s astounding beauty, is now in its 11th year as the Oregon Natural Desert Association’s Wild Desert Calendar. The ONDA 2015 Wild Desert Calendar debuts in the upper gallery with approximately 20 images from this and previous years’ calendars. Available at retail outlets around the state such as Costco in Bend, the calendar features photographers including Greg Burke, Jim Davis, Tyson Fisher and Christof Teuscher. Jim Davis, one of the calendar’s originators, says he’s proud of the role it has played over the years in introducing others to the wonder of the high desert. “The calendar provides a way to show how spectacular these places really are. It’s the only collection of photography dedicated solely to the Oregon desert.” Bend photographer Dave Kamperman also shows images of the high desert in the lower gallery. His move to Bend in 1983 inspired his transition from portrait imagery to landscape. He notes that the Northwest’s scenery, particularly that of Oregon, displays a diverse and remarkable beauty that he strives to preserve for future generations. His passion for accurate representation leads him to continue the use of large format film which he feels surpasses most digital imagery in clarity, natural color saturation, and resolution. He recently added photos printed on metal to his presentation. Sunriver Resort invites the public during Lodge hours.

Helen Brown & Susan HarknessWilliams at Sunriver Library
T
wo longtime members of the Friends of the Library Art Committee in Sunriver are showing their work together over the holidays. Helen Brown’s watercolors describe land and cityscapes, while Susan HarknessWilliams’ gourds depict local wildlife. The show runs through January at the Sunriver Area Library. Brown uses a batik method on Japanese rice paper resulting in luminous washes, harmonious color schemes and interesting texture. One of the paintings in the library show (Curb Appeal) has earned national recognition and will be featured in a Northlight Book called Splash 16-The Best of Watercolor. She recently garnered the Best of Show Gourd Art by Susan Harknessaward at the Redmond Airport and teaches Williams watercolor painting during the winter months. Helen and her husband Scott have been full-time residents of Sunriver for 24 years. She is a member of the Tumalo Art Company, the High Desert Art League and the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Harkness-Williams also calls Sunriver home. She is best known as a fine gourd artist and employs her love of mixed media into each piece she creates. Her work is found in private galleries around the world and collectors call her work stunning, amazing and simply beautiful. Harkness-Williams created Sunriver Wildlife series specifically for the Sunriver Library show. Taken from her natural surroundings, this series uses vivid India inks, pyrography and her special whimsical style. Each bird has a personality of its own.

The Best Present is a Gift of Art
t’s that time again. Where are you going to find holiday gifts that are unique, beautiful and not a chore to shop for? Why not plan a relaxing afternoon in beautiful Sunriver? Perhaps a delicious lunch at one of the many fantastic restaurants or a fine cup of coffee and something sweet. Then stop by the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver for a delightful time shopping for the ones that you love. You know that Christmas carols are playing in your head so put them to good work as you stroll through the gallery making your selections. (Think about the Twelve Days of Christmas!) For the first gift of Christmas you could find a great painting of A Christmas at Camp Sherman. Watercolor artist, Bill Hamilton, captures the essence of the season with his painting of Santa at this local landmark. You want to get this one early so that you can place it on display to get into the holiday spirit.
2
For the second gift of Christmas let the season twinkle for you with two red art glass birds. Continue to decorate your Christmas mantel with a pair of brilliant red Cardinals created by art glass artist, Jeff Thompson.
For the third gift of Christmas why not the perfect representation of the season with a poinsettia flower art glass bowl. This piece of functional art produced by art glass artist, Marily Badger, will hold a big pile of holiday cookies.

For the fourth gift of Christmas let the spirit of the holidays shine with art cards and prints. Photographer, Carolyn Waissman, provides beautiful cards that allow you to brighten the spirit of loved ones that are not located physically near you.
5
For the fifth gift of Christmas the gallery can package up a set of holiday drink coasters for a special surprise for someone on your list. Oil painter, Bonnie Junell, has printed beautiful seasonal subjects from her paintings on tree decorations and trivets as well as the drink coasters.
For the seventh gift of Christmas see the twinkle of the sun with an Oregon grape state flower pendant. Using the beautiful Oregon Fire Opal, jewelry artist Karla Proud really captures the twinkle of the season.

8
For the eighth gift of Christmas let Mother Nature participate in all the fun. Winter images of Mount Bachelor, by photographers Gary Chandler and Maggie Downs, depict our beautiful mountain in all her glory.
For the ninth gift of Christmas decorate your holiday table with an original quilted table runner by artist, Nancy Cotton.
10
9 For the tenth gift of Christmas how about some pottery. Gold and red pottery vessels made by potter, Peter Roussell, are really difficult to let go as a gift. Perhaps you will have to keep at least one for yourself !
For the eleventh gift of Christmas for the snowboarder in your life, provide an art print that is a constant reminder of the joy of snowboarding. A framed print of snowboarders on Mt. Bachelor by watercolor artist, Deni Porter, is just the ticket.
12
11
For the twelfth gift of Christmas how about a gift of red bowls for use in the kitchen or display on a holiday buffet table. Pottery by Diane Miyauchi is the epitome of functional art.
Merry Christmas! From the Artists of Artists’ Gallery Sunriver

Welcome to The Sisters Country The Jewel Adds to Vibrant Art Community
by JEFF SPRY Cascade A&E Feature Writer

he sparkling gems and geodes of The Jewel in Sisters can now be admired in their new store in downtown Bend. Owner Jan Daggett decided to add another facet to her custom jewelry enterprise after needing more room to showcase her art. “Mom and pop stores the size of the Sisters location don’t have the resources to put my own collections in the window instead of relying on custom orders,” she said. “My aim here is, after 24 years excelling at custom design, I lost two jewelers during the recession and no longer have the manpower to pro- Manager Michelle Mathieu duce both custom orders and my designs for the showcases. This allows me to give up the custom end of the biz and concentrate on my own works more.” The second store is located on Wall Street inside Tres Jolie De Bend, cozily tucked in the back beneath banks of dazzling LED lamps and clear cases. Industrial-edged glass cubicles house an eclectic blend of fine jewelry, dramatic quartz geodes and museum-caliber fossil specimens, all enclosed and stacked like icy walls. The centerpiece of the new space is a hulking 19th-century, cast-iron coal stove lovingly restored by Daggett. “We opened on November 7 during First Friday and I got a ticket for unloading a 400 pound antique parlor stove on the sidewalk. I really love those old stoves. A friend of mine introduced me to them. They have an incredible history, especially the engineering and surface carvings. Most of them were found in big Victorian homes and are legal to install today. We collect them, clean them up and restore them. Cast iron is very brittle and it’s rare to find them complete. The bright surface is nickel with elaborate handcarving. The original molds for those carvings were well-guarded. We’re not sure if they’ll sell in Central Oregon but they’re extremely collectible and thought they’d be a good visual connection between the front show window and our gallery in the back.” Daggett opened her first jewelry store in Sisters 24
years ago and, like the flagship Sisters shop, features her own unusual goldwork and collections by contemporary designers like the handmade watches of Eduardo Milareous, beaded necklaces by Masha Archer and colorfullycrafted glass by Michael Vincent. Her one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces are created with stone, gold, silver, semi-precious stones and a rainbow of rare gems.
“I use high-end gems like emerald and sapphires and unusual gems like Caribbean blue apatite, crystallized azurite or Oregon flume agates. We have huge pieces of polished petrified wood suitable for coffee tables and carved sinks. Ultimately we’ll have a home décor section offering larger specimens of petrified wood and other signature interior design pieces in stone, pottery and glass.” Daggett grew up in Southern California then came to Oregon at the age of 16 in the early ‘70s and moved to Cascadia, Oregon where she enrolled in Sweet Home High School. “Cascadia was full of hippies then and very rural but it was beautiful,” she recalled. “I’m essentially self-taught, back when timber revenue allowed schools to have jewelry departments. After that I found a few talented mentors and set out to learn more about lapidary and diamond-setting.” At 17, Daggett sold her first pieces of jewelry on Rodeo Drive, then consigned more in Aspen, Hawaii and Beverly Hills. This new showplace in Bend is a fresh chapter in her artistic career. “I’ve been looking for a space in downtown Bend for several years, but wanted a small place in the heart of Old Town. There’s an abundance of amazing art galleries here and I’m so happy to be in such a vibrant, flourishing environment.” The Jewel in Bend, 933 NW Wall Street

ongtime area artists Randy and Susanne Redfield’s Studio Redfield has taken roost in a brand new location in downtown Sisters. Found in the heart of Hood Avenue’s artist’s row, they’re featuring hand-painted tiles ceramics, art cards, jewelry, abstract paintings and impressionistic landscapes. “We just opened mid-November and we’re really happy with the location,” said Randy. “Our old spot on Main Street just didn’t have good exposure, there was hardly Randy & Susanne Redfield any foot traffic and the space was simply too small. This spot came up and had been empty for some time. My main studio is here in Sisters now and it became much more of a consolidation to open a larger gallery here. That’s what Susanne and I had in mind.” Susanne opened her first gallery in Sisters in 1982 and a lot has changed for her since then, from running a tile factory in Redmond and shipping to clients all over the world, now returning to her roots in the local art community. “We have always been attracted to the useful and beautiful objects made locally that enrich the way people eat, live and connect with one another,” said Susanne. The aim of Redfield’s gallery is to not only present their own works, but to also nurture and feature exclusive local artists like Laura Campbell, who works in glazed pottery and ceramic sculptures, Kathy Deggendorfer’s whimsical folk art, hand-crafted chef ’s knives by Kyle Kotaich, the paintings of Lynn Miller and Maren Burck’s Continued on page 42

Alpenhimmel Artistic Wonders
lpenhimmel Creative Arts Emporium is a new rainbow of artistic wonders just opened this summer in downtown Sisters. Located in a modern timber-framed building reminiscent of Swiss lodges, this one-stop art shopping destination is evoking a surge of creativity from locals and visitors alike. Owners Charity and John Alva started this European style arts center with the hopes it would become a beacon of expression for the entire community and so far their dream has succeeded. “The name Alpenhimmel means “Alpine Heaven” and comes from our time spent living in Bavaria for over 25 years,” said Charity. “We have an arts and crafts supply store and public open studio space for a variety of creative disciplines, from papercrafting for people who want to make custom cards and scrapbooks, to basketweaving, bookbinding, mixed media, hand-lettering, polymer clays, acrylic painting, calligraphy and markers for cartooning and illustration.” The well-stocked retail portion of Alpenhimmel deals in the finest European and Asian art supplies available: premium papers from Italy, glitters from Holland, Japanese watercolors, E&M dip pens from Germany. Their international roster of art supplies come in all quantities, sizes and price ranges. “It’s unlike any job I’ve ever had because I look forward to coming here every day. I can’t wait to get here each morning. “We’d been acquainted with this type of multi-craft center in Germany, where they’re very popular with the Americans, a place where people can
come in and use our available open studio areas and space. One thing we realized coming to Sisters is that there was opportunity for fiber artists to have a place to congregate, find their supplies and work on their projects but there wasn’t really a place for other types of artists and crafters to paint, to draw, to simply create.” The Alvas have a full calendar of intriguing classes and workshops and they always include all supplies necessary. “There’ll be a new selection of classes every month, based on availability of local instructors and suggestions from customers. We just had Jean Stark, one of our local renowned basket artists, do a workshop last week on beginning pine needle basketry. We’ve done a Souvenir Photo Accordion class before and it was really popular so we’ll do it again. We’ll be doing a workshop on designing and hand-carving rubber stamps, a bookbinding course and handtinting photographs as well.” Depending on open studio time, customers pay a $3 an hour fee that allows them to set up at a table, use any supplies and equipment in the room. If they’re wanting to make cards, they need to bring their own card stock or buy it from their retail shop stocked with a colorful supply of professional fine art paints, both acrylics and watercolor, Inka Gold metallic paint, Pitt artist pens, Montana acrylic markers, stamp ink, oil pastels, journal paper and pads, high-end drawing and sketching pencils, Japanese illustration pens, tools and brushes, modeling clay and deluxe solid and patterned card stock. 392 West Main Avenue #3, Sisters, Open Wednesday-Saturday 12-6pm www.alpenhimmel.com, 541-588-0931 Cascade A&E December 2014

Maragas Winery Reopens Lattavo Gallery
Images courtesy of Doug Maragas
he caricature art adorning the bottles of Maragas wines was created by Doug Maragas' mother, Joanne Lattavo, in the late '50s and early '60s. What you may not know is Joanne was an accomplished oil painter with a renowned art gallery throughout the ‘60s. Contemporary artists and entertainment greats such as Harry Wheeler, Mary Ann Flynn, Mel Someroski, Louis Armstrong, Buddy Hacket and several others showed their art or performed at the Gallery. Doug has had numerous art pieces created or collected by his mother (who passed away in 2002) in storage for several years. “It’s time to share her art with the world again, and what better time to kick it off than the weekend of Thanks.” Doug has realized a unique concept for Gallery pamphlet with Louis Armstrong and Robert Wick
the re-opened Lattavo Gallery. He opened the Gallery inside the barrel room of Maragas Winery on Thanksgiving. “It may be the first art gallery in a Barrel Room in the Country. We limited the barrel stacks to three high and mounted the paintings above the barrels all along the walls - out of harm's way of an accidental wine splash from a barrel. Uniquely at our barrel room, we also use low humidity to intensify the flavors in our wine which protects the painting frames from warping.” Art that will be initially displayed in the Gallery will include several paintings by Lattavo, Flynn, Lessig and McDonald. Combined, it's a beautiful harmony - fine art and the art of wine making.

Tower Showcases Holiday Cheer Through the Years
T
he Tower Theatre Foundation brings five decades of Christmas traditions and winter memories to downtown Bend in three special performances December 21-22. The original production A Tower Christmas: Holiday Cheer Through the Years showcases popular stories, dances and songs, performed by Central Oregon’s leading actors and community personalities. Tower Christmas is part of the Marquee Series, featuring live community theatre productions, sponsored by U.S. Bank and BendBroadband. Producer Brad Ruder, Director Mike Nowak and Musical Director Scott Michaelsen (Spitfire Grill, Bend Follies, Les Miserables), have assembled a nostalgic and humorous look at holiday incarnations from decades past: • Cascade Chorale’s Steven Livingston in A Christmas Story montage. • KQAK’s Dave Clemens reads How the Grinch Stole Christmas (played by Tommy Kuchulis). • The Bend Children’s Choir performs All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. • Local musicians Shantae Knorr, Heather Tennant-Salvesen, Ben Larson and Nathan Snyder raise their voices in Christmas medleys from the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Gotta Dance performs The Drifters’ White Christmas. And—spoiler alert!—St. Nick (aka attorney Terry Rahmsdorff ) makes a special guest appearance. “Plus, four stars of recent stage productions share their renditions of seasonal classics from the 1980s and 90s,” said Ruder. • Mollie Tennant (Spamalot) reinterprets The Carpenters’ Merry Christmas, Darlin’. • Ryan Klontz (Les Miz) sings Michael Buble’s All I Want for Christmas is You • Kimmie Fountain (The Producers) delivers Kathy Mattea’s Mary, Did You Know? • Jim Knox (Les Miz) croons Alabama’s Christmas Shoes. “We want everyone in Central Oregon to remember those carols, scenes and stories that—as the song goes—make Christmas the most wonderful time of the year,” said Nowak. “So, come to Bend’s living room, the Tower Theatre, and enjoy some holiday cheer.” 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org

T
he news that a whiskey bar was coming to town made me happy. That glee grew the second I walked into the small space with its wood, metal and brick décor. I’d finally found a local watering hole that was as comfortable as it was grown-up. Then we actually ate there and I realized that this is the full package. Not only does Stihl serve more than 200 whiskeys along with wellcrafted cocktails from their well-rounded bar, its food is darn good too. My friends and I started out with a round of cocktails, which included a traditional Whiskey Sour made with egg white and a Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade spiked with cardamom and sparkling wine, along with a round of appetizers. We jumped on The Stihl Grilled Cheese which marries aged Tillamook white cheddar with brisket braised in a house-made spice rub, accented by fennel-pickled red onion. Add buttery Texas Toast and you’ve got a stellar sandwich. Both of the salads we tried proved to be light, refreshing counters to the rich grilled cheese. The Boston Bibb salad with goat cheese, orange segments and toasted pepita seeds was tossed in a slightly sweet bourbon vinaigrette. I have to admit that I didn’t taste much bourbon in the dressing, which could be a good thing. The beautifully presented roasted beet salad included golden and red beets in an orange and ginger drizzle with black pepper thyme, fleur de sel and creamy chèvre. Lovely.
The entrees that Chef Rian Mulligan (previously of Tetherow) served up also earned accolades. The boneless pork chop, pan-seared with shallots and garlic and served pink,

The Fish ‘n’ Chips were equally memorable. Served in a newspaper cone, the fresh fish tasted as if it had been infused with citrus, while the light breading provided a satisfying, not too greasy crunch. I have two friends who have actively scoured Bend for the best fish ‘n’ chips in town. Girls, your search is over. Having determined that “the pork and fish ‘n’ chips were out of control,” we also tried Stihl’s two steaks. The rib eye, served with chanterelle brown butter and garlic herb mushroom sauce was very tender. The top sirloin was a little tough and grisly, but the char on the steak coupled with a delicious red wine Crimini mushroom sauce and fried shallots made up for that and more. I’d order the sirloin again in a second. We ended our meal with a candied orange peel bread pudding served with slivered almonds and spun sugar over a bourbon sauce. Next up? I can’t wait to sample the hot toddies and to see how Stihl incorporates whiskey into the cheesecake it serves.

The barbecued braised shrimp was less successful with a glaze that struck us all as too sweet. But the French Onion Soup was a hit, its impressive depth of flavor accented by fried leeks with brown butter chanterelle mushrooms. Four stars.
was wonderfully moist and tender. That’s hard to do with a pork chop. The dry citrus rub which, in the words of my friend Deb “sets forward on your tongue,” was so good that the leftovers were just as tasty cold the next day.

The programs are free and open to the public. During his presentations, Gesme will discuss the complex and diverse foreign language of music. According to Gesme knowing how to talk about music shouldn’t be a mystery and there are basic components that apply to all music. “I’ll be introducing some basic vocabulary so people can communicate with ease about any genre of style of music,” said Gesme. Gesme is the conductor of the Central Oregon Symphony and serves as chair of the fine arts and communication department at COCC where he teaches courses in music theory, music history, ear training and conducting. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and a masters of music degree in orchestral conducting from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

s there a song in you, just waiting to come out? Have you scratched down a few lines but aren’t sure where to go from there? Musician and songwriter David Miller will help people explore the art of songwriting during his talk and demonstration at the Downtown Bend Library on Monday, December 8 at 6pm. This event is free and open to all; no registration is required. “From early forms of communication and symphonic masterpieces to the roots of country and rock ‘n’ roll, music expresses the human condition,” says Miller. Miller has written songs for and performed with a number of bands, including Bad Influence and, most recently, Voodoo Highway. During his library event, he will present songwriting in the context of historic, cultural and emotional examples. Participants will explore song structure and the art of writing songs. Miller will include plenty of examples, and will demonstrate writing a song in an improv format, which he will then perform. Miller has spent 30 plus years as a working musician and music educator. Miller performs in two bands of his own; he also joins other locals in live and recording situations. He started teaching guitar in the mid ‘90s and enjoys focusing on beginning to intermediate individuals and groups. He has also spent 15 years on the air in local radio. www.deschuteslibrary.org, Tina at 541-312-1034

Early Childhood Benefits to Music Education Cascade School of Music Offers Classes for Children 0-5

“Psychologists, neuroscientists and experts in early childhood development have done studies with children that show music education does more for children than just bring them joy,” explained Julie Hanney, liscensed Kindermusik instructor and director of early childhood education at Cascade School of Music. “It also helps their brain cells make the connections needed for just about every kind of intelligence, from literacy skills to emotional skills to physical control to enhanced creativity.” The Cascade School of Music offers Kindermusik classes for children up to five years old, and is based on research done by early childhood experts. Each song, game, story, dance and instrument activity is designed for fun, and also benefits inhibitory control (putting a space between a thought and an action), quantitative and social skills; and physical and language development. “With Kindermusik classes, each month you receive a new CD of music as well as other at-home digital materials to help parents (a child’s very best teacher!) continue their music education,” Hanney explained. “Children enrolled in Kindermusik classes also receive an age

hen Bill Haley and His Comets hit the charts with their version of Rock Around the Clock in 1955, pop music changed forever. Explore the roots of rock’n’roll, with KOPV DJ Mike Ficher at the Downtown Bend and Redmond Libraries as part of the Know Music series at Deschutes Public Libraries this December. According to Ficher, rock’n’roll was bubbling in the progressive tensions of western swing, jump blues and vocal harmony since the end of World War II. “Bill Haley’s Rock Around the Clock was merely the volcanic eruption that illuminated rock’n’roll for the masses. The lava was flowing in the honkytonks and chittlin’ circuits long before,” says Ficher. Rocket 88, recorded in 1951 by Jackie Brenston and the Delta Cats, was the first rock’n’roll song put onto vinyl. During his presentation Ficher will share songs and stories behind early rock’n’roll.
By day Ficher is a business analyst, but at night he is the host and producer of The Ultimate Oldies Show, syndicated on nine radio stations and internet sites. The show can be heard locally on 88.9 KPOV in Bend on Fridays at 6pm and Sundays at 6am. Ficher is also a stage actor, voice artist, improviser (Triage), sportscaster (CoTV), writer, emcee, baseball umpire, soccer official\, and public address announcer.

A
New Perspective for December by Eileen Lock
ction taken near the 1st will be effective and will open doors for the future. Appreciate the opportunity to be you on the 4th and realize how good that feels. Everything speeds up at this time and by the time we get to the Full Moon on the 6th you could feel like your entire life is changing. Talk about moving forward on the 8th and you could be pleasantly surprised with what happens. Decisions are made from the heart on the 10th and this will create more opportunities. Conversations on the 12th are expansive and will invite you to express yourself. Take plenty of time to dream over the next few days and recognize what your dreams actually are. Conversations seem to get more serious after the 16th and relationships are being discussed. A change of direction on the 20th will turn out better than you might think. The New Moon on the 21st is combined with the Winter Solstice and it will be seen later as a turning point. Many situations will come to completion in order to make space for what is new. The rules change on the 23rd and everyone’s mood begins to lighten up. Let go of your old structures on the 24th and let your words express your new position. Conversations on the 25th are healing and will help you let go of the past. The next set of lessons are about moving forward and being optimistic about the future. Finish your year with positive statements about being Happier, Healthier and living a Prosperous life. Anything is possible and it’s important to think positive. Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock Clairvoyant Astrologer, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com
