Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Turns 20

2

015 will mark the twentieth year that Cascade Arts & Entertainment has been published in Central Oregon. I created the magazine in Bend, Oregon in 1995 as a special addition to Cascade Business News.

It began as a newsprint tabloid, but the arts and cultural amenities emerging in our region were no less significant than they are today. With the help of local gallery owners such as Steve and Sandy Miller of Sunbird Gallery and Pamela Claflin of the Mockingbird Gallery and our most sincere advocate of the arts, Cate O’Hagan, we created a publication totally devoted to the arts.

The vision was to expose the region and our visitors to the varied and numerous artistic endeavors occurring all around us.

We highlighted local painters, sculptors, potters, musicians, poets, writers, actors and producers. We partnered with Cascade Festival of Music, the Sisters Folk Festival & Quilt Show, Sunriver Music Festival, Museum at Warm Springs, Art in Public Places and the High Desert Museum and as new opportunities came along, the Tower Theatre, BendFilm, Atelier 6000, Scalehouse and Art in the High Desert, we championed the many arts and culture prospects our area has created.

This year in celebration we plan to honor our arts partners and to collaborate with them over the course of the year on variety of commemorations. Sisters Folk Festival will be one of our partners as they too will celebrate twenty years in 2015.

I cannot possibly articulate my admiration of all the artists, volunteers and organizations we have worked with over the years. There are no words that can express the appreciation of those who make Central Oregon such a creative and inspiring place through art. I am so proud that we have been able to sustain and create an arts magazine just for our community....and thank you so very very much for being a part of it.

Let’s celebrate!

The magazine emerged from the newsprint to electrobrite from tabloid to magazine format. We added a gloss cover (it’s hard to properly display original artwork even on high-bright paper).

Over the twenty years we have seen the ebbs and flow of the economy as it grew and prospered only to be defeated, at least temporarily, as we struggled to make ends meet. The art world around us suffered, our publication company suffered, but not once did we consider ceasing the publication of the arts magazine.

All along we encouraged and advocated for the arts to be considered a valueadded part of our economy. It worked as we helped approve a notable room tax proposal that has created the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund slated to help advance local arts organizations.

We are in the process of designing an exciting, inventive and state-of-the-arts website by partnering with a gifted local web firm, Five Talent. The website will help launch another aspect of Cascade A&E...a statewide arts calendar scattered with editorial content. Today we are proud to say that we are Oregon’s only arts magazine.

Creativity is alive and blossoming in Central Oregon. We are proud to be part of this amazing community of artists and arts enthusiasts who bring innovative thinking to our mix.

Scalehouse Receives Grant from Oregon Community Foundation

Carol Leone awarded Ben Westlund Memorial Award

Museum Executive Director Carol Leone was awarded The Ben Westlund Memorial Award from the Deschutes Cultural Coalition, a program of the Oregon Cultural Trust. Cate O’Hagan, executive director of Arts Central, the Arts and Cultural Council for Central Oregon, developed the Award in 2012 as a way to acknowledge Westlund’s contributions to Oregonians. She states, “Ben was deeply committed to insuring that all corners of the state and all the people in those corners have access to quality arts and culture experiences. The award was created in his memory and in honor of the spirit of his intention.” Carol has been a strong advocate for arts and culture. She has been instrumental in creating programs that promote, inspire and teach about the arts.

ScaleHouse received funding from the Oregon Community Foundation for general operating support.

Bend-based non-profit ScaleHouse envisions a contemporary creative center that supports and inspires creative thinking and innovation in the community.

The nascent organization plans to use the grant for development to advance its mission. “We are honored and humbled to receive support from a well-known and respected Foundation,” said ScaleHouse board member, René Mitchell.

ScaleHouse was one of six Central Oregon arts organizations to receive a Small Arts & Culture Grant.

According to the Oregon Community Foundation, 1,468 registered arts and culture nonprofit organizations in Oregon, more than 60 percent, have budgets under $100,000. Although these organizations are central to the vitality of Oregon’s communities, they are often not eligible or competitive for traditional grant programs from many foundations. In response to this need, OCF will invest $300,000 annually for five years to support small community-driven arts and culture organizations.

Eighty-seven Small Arts & Culture Grants have been awarded throughout Oregon, totaling $300,000.

Six Central Oregon organizations received funding, including: Rise Up International, High Desert Chamber Music, Fossil Players, Crook County Parks and Recreation Foundation and Archaeological Society of Central Oregon, in addition to ScaleHouse, totaling $16,780.00.

Happy New Year I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.- Tom Ford

I

love our cover image this month.

Dorothy Eberhardt’s Smith Rock Snow to me represents a new perspective on the familiar. Looking at something as simple as our iconic landscape changed by snow and ice translates into a meditation on other aspects in our lives that have become routine, and resolving to learn how to see them with fresh eyes once again.

Instead of waiting on the new year to make a fresh set of resolutions, deciding to do things differently or make some much needed changes, why not throw that out the window and meet each day with the intention to great the familiar with a new perspective.

Take a new route to work, wake up at a different time, walk the dogs in a different part of your neighborhood. You might discover something new or find a new appreciation for what has lost meaning in routine.

Central Oregon is brimming with events, and I bet you can find something to do on our calendar (pg 39) that you have never done before. See our community from a different perspective by attending a new event.

Resolutions don’t always stick, so don’t make any. Just try a new perspective.

Vía Láctea Enters Second Printing

llen Waterston, poet and author who will conduct her sixth Todos Santos writing retreat in February, announces the second printing of her verse novel, Vía Láctea: A Woman of a Certain Age Walks the Camino, a fictionalized account of Waterston’s 2012 pilgrimage on Spain’s Camino de Santiago.

Vía Láctea has garnered praise from poets and reviewers alike. John Brierley, author and publisher of the premier guides to the Camino, including A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Camino de Santiago, stated, “Many pilgrims who walk the Camino reach some form of new understanding of their life and its direction. A fair proportion of these wish to share their insights but words don’t lend themselves easily to describe the inner workings of the soul. Great sensitivity is required and this is where Vía Láctea bridges the gap so skillfully between the sacred and the mundane. Vía Láctea should be in everyone’s backpack, or at least on their bookshelf.”

The soft cover perfect bound version of Vía Láctea is available at Paulina Springs Books, and online at Barnes & Noble, Amazon. com and www.writ-

ingranch.com.

Waterston created the peregrina (pilgrim) as the guiding character in her story. Peregrina walks her way to unexpected answers to many of life’s questions along the ancient pilgrimage route and finds herself not only in conflict with herself, but also implicated in a battle between a caricature of the Catholic church and Camino Woman.

The many real and imagined characters met along the Way, the variety of voices, poetic styles and forms, make this collection a provocative and lively adventure.

Author and poet Judith Barrington said, “This book is a story told through a number of poetic forms that seamlessly carried me along the Camino de Santiago. The narrative pulls readers along, yet the poetry insists that they linger with the music of words and the often-surprising images. Those who don’t usually seek out poetry will find this a compelling read, while those who do will appreciate the craft and creative innovation.” Barrington is the author of three volumes of poetry. A fourth, The Conversation, is forthcoming in 2015.

s part of its King, Gandhi, Chavez and Mankiller Season of Nonviolence, Central Oregon Community College is helping to sponsor two presentations by Richard Blanco, an acclaimed Cuban-American poet, on Tuesday, January 27, in Wille Hall in the Campus Center on the Bend Campus. The event is free and open to the public.

During his presentations, Blanco will invite the audience to reconnect to the heart of the human experience and all of its diversity. The questions he asks are universal: Where am I from? Where do I belong? Who am I in this world?

From noon to 1:30pm, Blanco will screen and discuss, Until We Could, a poem and short film written and produced in collaboration with Freedom to Marry in support and celebration of marriage equality. Blanco will share his personal experiences of attempting to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning sexual identity of being a gay Latino.

From 6:30 to 8pm Blanco will present Finding My Place at the American Table: An Immigrant’s Journey. This event will be a conversation and reading with Blanco about his search for a home in America as a child of immigrants/exiles. Blanco will discuss how his experience as inaugural poet transformed his understanding about what it means to be American, especially in the light of his immigrant family’s struggles and sacrifices.

Blanco was born in Madrid and immigrated to the United States as an infant with his Cuban-exile family. Raised in Miami, he earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a master’s degree in creative writing from Florida International University. In 2013, Blanco was chosen to serve as the fifth inaugural poet of the United States, becoming the youngest, first Latino, immigrant and openly gay

writer to hold the honor.

These events are co-sponsored with the Nancy R. Chandler Visiting Scholar Program, Deschutes Cultural Commission, COCC Humanities Department., Oregon Community Foundation, OSU Cascades Diversity Committee, Associated Students of COCC and the OSU-Cascades Student Fee Committee.

tage Right Productions presents Love, Loss And What I Wore, based on the book by Ilene Beckman and written for the stage

by Nora and Delia Ephron, January 16-31.

Love, Loss And What I Wore is directed by Sandy Silver (Brighton Beach Memoirs) and promises to provide a unique and intimate theatrical experience. Performed as a “reader’s theatre” Love, Loss And What I Wore features five talented actresses portraying 25 different characters in a series of fast paced monologues, telling real life, funny and poignant stories of pivotal events in their lives and what they were wearing. There are prom dresses, bras, high heels and designer handbags, all with stories to tell.

“I fell in love with this play when I saw it performed while in New Zealand,” says Silver, “and I knew that I wanted the chance to direct it here in Bend. Who among us does not have a “go to shirt”...you know, the one that seems to go with everything...or doesn’t remember getting her first bra, or the humiliation of having to wear an outfit your mother

picked out, and no matter how big your bag is you can never fit enough in it! For the actor it is a chance to create some memorable women, for me it is a chance to help get their stories told with honesty and humor in a way that audiences will understand and enjoy.”

Featuring: Susan Benson, Laura Lee Coffman, Patricia West-Del Ruth, Dana Fykerud and Judi Van Houweling.

Stage Right Productions is a nonprofit organization that runs 2nd Street Theater. Founded in 2011, Stage Right Productions’ mission is to cultivate the performing arts and provide a venue, support, entertainment and education to both the creative individuals and audiences in Central Oregon.

Performances are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30pm, with two Sunday matinee performances January 18 and 25 at 3pm. There will a Champagne Reception on Friday January 16 from 6:30-7:30pm. Tickets are $19 adults, $16 Student/Seniors. www.2ndstreettheater.com, 2ndstreettheater@gmail.com, 541-312-9626

The Dude & The Crew on the Tower’s Big Screen

cult classic and the musicians behind some classic rock light up the Tower’s movie screen this winter. The Big Lebowski unspools Saturday, January 17, followed by The Wrecking Crew on January 31.

Jeff Bridges stars as Lebowski, a slacker mistaken for a millionaire also named Lebowski. He then seeks restitution for his ruined rug by enlisting his bowling buddies ( John Goodman, John Turturro and Steve Buscemi). Attendees can help “tie the room together” by drinking White Russians and dressing like The Dude, Walter, Donny, The Stranger, Maude or German nihilists.

Radio station 92.9 will award prizes for best costumes and sell one-of-a-kind bowling pins with scenes from The Big Lebowski hand-drawn by Bridges during his visit to the Tower in November.

New Perspectives For 2015

ARIES

Positive changes and forward motion are the theme for January. Settle in during February and find what works for you.

March will find you showing the world your best side and being well received.

April is a time to decide what you want to manifest and initiating the necessary changes. Stay flexible and open minded during May when miracles are a distinct possibility. Appreciate your family during June and realize how important they are to you. July moves quickly and it will be important to take good care of yourself. Pace yourself in August as doors begin to open for you. Be patient with relationships in September and realize they are simply trying to help. Focus on your work in October and recognize it may take some practice to get comfortable. Life is manifesting quickly in November and you will only be able to do what it is in your heart. December is a time for moving forward and realizing what is really possible.

TAURUS

January starts right out with changes that will get easier by the end of the month. February is a time to accept what your heart is telling you and for preparing for new beginnings. A fresh start in March is mixed with the need to still create some

10

completion. April is more comfortable and you are able to take the steps you have been imagining. Be willing to change your direction a bit in May and you will discover there is more available to you than you previously understood. Self-nurturing becomes important in June so check in with yourself and your home to be sure you are comfortable. Give yourself permission to move at your own pace during July and you will be able to accomplish more. Spend August imagining what you want your future to look like then begin opening up to your dreams manifesting. Find your own approach in September and remind yourself to slow down and take your time. October is all about manifestation and taking steps in the direction you want to go. November is an opportunity for your dreams to come true when you are willing to really let them happen. Celebrate in December with an optimistic attitude and be willing to inspire those around you.

GEMINI

You have complete support to enjoy yourself in January. Slow down a little as you move into February and be willing to start something new. March is all about you and doing what you enjoy. Take care of responsibilities in April so that you can manifest what you say you want. Talk about everything in May so that others will know what your dreams are. More changes in June will be fun and will keep you busy.

Check in with those around you in July and make sure you understand what you need to do. Opportunities are available in August if you are willing to focus and be optimistic. Your words can inspire others in September and you will find they want to cooperate with you. Be the responsible one in October and be proud of your choices.

Hard work pays off in November and relationships will express appreciation. Let yourself enjoy December and realize what a wonderful life you have created.

January 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

CANCER A busy January will find you looking for ways to create more peace in your life. By February you will have found your sanctuary and you will be able to relax more often.

Let others do their own thing in March and you can do the same. By April you are willing to take significant steps forward. Plans change for the better in May so stay flexible.

June is all about taking time for you and it will be important to do whatever you need to. July will find you remembering who you are and being more like your true self. Take a chance in August and realize opportunities are becoming available. Celebrate being you in September and notice how much happier you are feeling. Follow your plan in October and you will very likely accomplish your goal. A noticeable healing happens in November and it has been a long time coming. Choose to be with those you enjoy during December and remind yourself that you are supported.

LEO

Decisions are made in January to create more independence. February is a time to keep it simple and do what you know you need to do. Take a few steps forward in March and you will inspire new beginnings. Be willing to take a back seat in April and realize changes are happening that will help you later. May brings lots

of people who all want to talk to you and hear what you have to say. Continue to share your thoughts in June and realize you are creating change. July is a time to appreciate your self and consider doing something really nice for you. August brings opportunities that will create more definition in your life. Show the world the real you in September so the other people can show you how they feel about you.

Find something you can do with others in October and appreciate your relationships. Give what you love your attention in November and watch the change that occurs. December is a great time to listen to what others have to say, you will be pleasantly surprised.

VIRGO

January finds you looking for a quiet space to relax after many busy days in the beginning of the month. Appreciate your privacy in February and know that you will be much busier in the near future. March has you involved in a wide variety of things that each ask for a different part of you.

April will be about manifesting what you want and then realizing how you need it to be different than you thought. A very busy May will require patience with those you are interacting with. Many changes that continue into June will challenge you to find new approaches. July is a time that you will see the integration that you have been working so hard to create, enjoy it. Do something special for yourself in August with the promise that you will continue to make yourself more important from now on. A busy social calendar in September will also be supporting other areas of your life. Relationships that are created in October will notice you for who you really are and they will appreciate you. November could find you completely amazed with what you have manifested in your life. Appreciate who you are in December and give yourself credit for working hard to get here.

New Perspectives For 2015 LIBRA

The celebrations continue into January and it’s important to enjoy as much of it as possible. February will bring busy, then quiet, then more busy again so find the ebb and flow of your life.

March is about keeping it simple and doing your own thing. Reorganize your life in April so that you can see how well you are doing. A fast pace in May brings new adventures and lots of joy.

Slow it down in June and let yourself catch up with yourself. Pick and choose your activities in July doing only what you really want to do. Let yourself shine in August and enjoy the opportunity to be you. Speak up in September and let yourself be heard. Continue to share your ideas in October and give others a chance to understand what you need.

Realizations in November may need to be kept quiet, trust the timing of the unfoldment. Let your excitement show in December and realize you deserve all that has come your way.

SCORPIO Changes that happen in January are leading you a positive new way of living your life. By February you will feel good about yourself and the choices you are making. Keep it simple in March and stay focused on you. Do what you want

to in April and realize how easy it is to do this. Be patient with those around you in May while they are all going through changes. After a busy start, June will settle down a bit and you will get the chance to relax. Give your home and family some attention in July and you will see that all is still good. By August you will be ready to do your own thing again, and that’s exactly what you need to do. You can pick and choose who you want to spend time with in September so choose the people you enjoy. Do your body a favor in October and remember how important it is to take good care of yourself. Everything falls into place in November and you will feel great about what occurs. Take a chance in December and do something that requires trust, this will create incredible changes.

SAGITTARIUS

Big decisions combined with noticeable changes are what January is all about. Slow it down in the beginning of February then be ready to go again at the end of the month. Take a leap of faith in March and let your heart guide the way. Get right to the point when you ask for what you want in April and be ready for it to manifest. Adjust your plan in May and make room for more changes. Take a time out in June and do something that feels really right. Listen to your heart in July when it asks you to trust what you are feeling. Backing up in August will create a sling shot effect that will throw you forward afterwards.

Make a decision in September and be sure to follow through with it. Check in with yourself in October to be sure you are still on track for where you want to be. Accept what happens in November and realize this makes the situation feel more real. Make an announcement in December and you will be heard, be sure to say what you really mean.

CAPRICORN

Experiment with something new in January and learn from what happens.

See the completion in February, then turn around and plant new seeds. Recognize the truth in March and do something based on what you have learned. Keep it simple in April and be as patient as possible. You will need to have blind faith in May while many things are changing. Be honest about how you feel in June and realize that is the only way you can move forward. Do what makes you happy in July and realize it is always up to you to choose how you want to feel. Small opportunities in August will grow up later to be bigger and better. Step forward in September if you see something that you want. A gentle approach will be most helpful in October when people you care about are going through changes. Action taken in November will bring healing and will open doors in all of your relationships. Let December be an opportunity to begin living your life in a healthy, happy and prosperous way.

AQUARIUS

Be yourself and do what feels right in January. Follow your heart in February and allow yourself to be happy. A fresh start in March is exactly what you have

been looking for, appreciate it. Check in with your body in April and be sure you are taking good care of it. May is a busy month and it’s important to enjoy it all along the way. Give yourself a pep talk in June and be sure that your actions are the same as your words. A busy July invites you to return to where you have good memories. Remind yourself that this is your life in August and it is up to you to create an amazing life. Listen to your relationships in September and consider what is being said as important. Share your thoughts in October and understand why this needs to happen. Challenge yourself in November to do something bigger than ever before so that you can realize what you are capable of. Enjoy December and make a promise to keep considering the impossible.

PISCES

Move towards what you want in January and have faith in your changes. Watch for what sparks you in February and consider bringing it into your life. Give yourself permission to do what you want in March and remind yourself that you are the one who will decide. Gently move into the world in April, taking small steps in the beginning. Consider doing more watching than doing in May and remember that it’s fine to do that. Move towards what feels right in June and let your self be nurtured by it. July provides the opportunity to be with those you love and enjoy their company. Being under the radar in August is fine and probably the healthiest approach.

Let others help you in September and realize how easy it is for them to do this. Slow and steady is the way to move forward in October and remember to do it your way.

Appreciate the magic that happens in November and let your heart get the healing that comes from it. Take a deep breath in December and know in your heart that you are exactly where you belong. www.eileenlock.freeservers.com

January 2

All of the galleries/businesses listed in this section will be open for First Friday Art Walk, from 5-8pm. (Red Chair is 4:30-8:30pm) Art in the Atrium at Franklin Crossing 50 NW Franklin Ave. Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing celebrates First Friday, with paintings by Susan Busik. Busik grew up in Sisters and resides in Bend. Influenced in her love of art by parents who owned an art gallery, she studied weaving in the ‘70s. Her artistic study and ability led her to stage Dahlia II by Susan Busik homes for local realtors, creating her own art for the décor in the popular geometric designs of the period.

The artist’s imagery shifted in her 40s when she sought to learn of her ancestry. Adopted as child, Busik knew nothing of her heritage but learned of her birth mother’s Mexican origin. Her desire to connect with her roots strongly influenced her current paintings that reflect the “magic realism” of noted Hispanic authors such as Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Gar- Colorful Birds by Susan Busik cia Marquez. Her art of over-scale, brightly colored dahlias, poppies and other subjects also features the traditional, intricate designs and patterns of Mexico, her version of “my Grandmother’s art.”

Noi Thai serves wine and Thai appetizers at First Friday with Tom Freedman and friends presenting jazz. Billye Turner organizes exhibitions for Franklin Crossing with additional information at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Twenty A6 Artist Members—all local artists—will have numerous pieces in the exhibit, which runs through January.

“Visually, this is one of our biggest shows,” explains Dawn Boone, A6’s executive director. A6 asked members to submit up to 10 pieces each for jurying to ensure enough work was available to fill the gallery walls.

Explains Boone, “Unlike a typical show (where purchased work stays up through the entire exhibit), we’re selling Salon work right off the walls, so you can enjoy—or give—art. Our exhibit will be constantly changing as we fill in the holes with new work.” A6 is open Monday-Friday from 9:30am-7pm, Saturday 10-6pm, Sunday 12-5pm.

Art at the Oxford Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Bernard Gateau’s unique photography continues through February 26, 2015.

Growing up in the French Alps brought Gateau his first contact with interesting faces. Using his grandmother’s folding Kodak 120 film camera, he memorialized the fast-vanishing village life of his surroundings: farmers, shepherds, peddlers, even itinerant distillers of fruit alcohols. After moving to the U.S. and Mandalay, Myanmar Novitiate by Bernard Gateau abandoning a successful career with IBM, he took to the road on a roundthe-world drive during which he discovered not only skill in fixing cars, but a talent for capturing the essence of rural peoples in portraiture. The viewer experiences the artist’s photographic talent in images such as the initiate in Mandalay, Myanmar, who “embarks on her novitiate, giving up sparkles and rouge for a shaved head and robe,” or, the Tibetan man, heading home from the market, “who has seen life before Tibetan Gentleman, Lhasa by Bernard Gateau the Chinese take-over of Lhasa.” Gateau broadens our awareness of the global comBirdmans Judgement munity and Central Oregon is fortunate to add

by Stan his skill to our cadre of photographic talent.

High Desert Museum Adds Barred Owl to Collection of Raptor Species

I

n addition to the popular hawks, eagles and falcons currently on exhibit, the High Desert Museum now has a fifth owl species: the barred owl.

The barred owl is native to the mixed deciduous/coniferous forests of the East Coast.

Throughout the 20th century the species made a rapid westward expansion across the northern Great Plains, into the Washington Cascades, and now south into Oregon and California. The owl has become controversial due to its status as an invasive species and its effect on spotted owl populations in the Northwest.

“The recent declines in spotted owl populations are strongly correlated to the invasion by the barred owl,” said John Goodell, curator of natural history at the High Desert Museum. “The northern spotted owl is a habitat/prey specialist, whereas the barred owl is a generalist. They’re opportunistic, feeding on a wide variety of small mammals, rabbits, reptiles and birds.”

Goodell said the barred owl is bigger, more aggressive and nests in higher density. They disrupt the nesting of the spotted owl, compete with them for food, and literally chase them out of the area. “In habitats where the barred owl competes with the northern spotted owl, the barred owl tends to win every time.”

Wildlife managers entrusted to protect the spotted owl’s dwindling populations are now faced with a painful choice: Allow the invasive barred owl to continue displacing the spotted owls – likely resulting in the eventual extinction of the northern spotted owl — or, protect existing populations of spotted owls by removing barred owls found within spotted owl habitat.

“The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service believes proactive removal of barred owls may be critical to the future of the spotted owl,” Goodell said. “Habitat protection doesn’t seem to be enough, so they’ve started an experimental barred owl removal program.”

The High Desert Museum’s barred owl joins four other owl species on exhibit: The barn owl, great horned owl, burrowing owl and screech owl. The barred owl is housed indoors, in the Donald M. Kerr Birds of Prey Center. In all, there are more than 20 birds of prey in the Museum’s live collection. www.highdesertmuseum.org

Dorothy Eberhardt Captures Magic in her Photographs

Deschutes Lava and Aspen

“I have a passion for the outdoors and it translates through the photography.” – Dorothy Eberhardt

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

D

orothey Eberhardt has had a long and varied career as a professional artist and her current journey into landscape photography truly captures not only the majestic beauty of Central Oregon’s wild places, but a sense of the magic that can be found in nature.

Art has always played a pivotal role in Eberhardt’s life. After getting her art education degree at the University of Oregon, she taught junior high art in the Medford area for a few years; the best part of teaching on that level, she explained, was covering a wide variety of mediums. “I have changed my mediums [many times], and I like to investigate new Dorothy Eberhardt things,” she explained.

“I’m always growing and I’m always changing,” she commented, “because I can’t do the same thing for 40 years, to me that would get boring.”

Eberhardt opened the first art gallery in Ashland, Oregon after she finished teaching in Medford, and when her husband, David, who was heavily involved in the ski industry, came to work at Mt. Bachelor in the early ‘70s, the couple transition to life in the high desert.

Soon after moving to Bend, they began a 35-year journey in the national art-show circuit. In a collaborative process, David, an accom-

20

plished woodworker and designer, and Dorothy, at the time working in copper and enamel, created functional pieces like lamps, and napkin and earring holders. “Doing the art shows influenced me more than anything else,” Eberhardt commented. “When you are traveling all over the country, you can see what everyone else is doing and get a lot of new influences and meet a lot of interesting people.”

Curiosity, creativity, travel and new experiences have always been a constant inspiration to Eberhardt. “For me there are always interesting things on the horizon,” she said. “Things change, circumstances change, mediums and materials change; for me it’s more important to be expressing my own ideas, so mediums are secondary to expressing the ideas.”

Eberhardt made another shift in mediums upon David’s passing 12 years ago, turning to one of her first loves: photography. “I have been a photographer since my Dad gave me my first camera when I was 10 years old,” she said. “He was a really good photographer, and was the kind of guy that had the two cameras around his neck,” she laughed, explaining back then the different cameras had to do with different ISO speeds.

“But until David passed away I didn’t start selling photography,” she said.

“Then I wanted to have something that I could sell myself and was totally me.

“I like the challenge of combining nature but doing it in an artistic way, it’s not just that I’m going to take a sunrise shot, I really want a good artistic photograph, and good composition,” she explained. “I plan and do things to help me be get better photos, and I love to wander too, just to see what I can find.”

Eberhardt explains that through photography she became much more of an outdoors woman. “[Through taking landscapes] I now just absolutely adore nature and the outdoors…. For me it’s the experiences that are the most important. If I’m having a great time, I usually end up with good photos.

“My objective is to have a good time when I’m taking photos. It’s of the utmost importance…and I also have a very high standard of what I want, and it’s not just a picture of a sunrise, it has to be a good composition and show the absolute beauty of the place in its best form.”

The only photographer at Red Chair Gallery in Bend since their opening days in 2010, Eberhardt fills a popular niche with her landscapes, and is the featured artist for January. “Red Chair Gallery is a real asset to the community because they feature a lot of local artists,” Eberhardt said.

Sparks First Snow with Channel

“I enjoy people and I am always there on every first Friday. In fact [at a recent] First Friday, I sold something to a repeat customer, and she commented on the magic of my work. I thought that was wonderful. There are lots of things about photography that I enjoy, and when I end up with these wonderful images, to me I’ve accomplished something, as [my customer said], the magic.” www.redchairgallerybend.com/OurArtists.aspx#Eberhardt, dorothyeberhardtphotography@gmail.com

Red Chair Gallery Fosters Local Artists Photo courtesy of Red Chair Gallery

n anchor in the downtown art scene since opening in August 2010, Red Chair Gallery is brimming with works from over 30 artists.

The membership gallery is located in the historic O’Kane Building at 103 NW Oregon Street, and displays everything from paintings, photographs and woodwork, to jewelry, pottery and fabrics.

“We are all local artists,” explained Lise Hoffman-Mc-

Cabe, one of the founding artist/partners. “That sets us apart, and our prices are manageable for people. But the biggest thing [that has made us a success] is our mix of art.”

Opening in the middle of a recession was difficult for many in the high desert, but Red Chair made it through the downturn and continues to thrive. Interestingly enough one of the biggest indicators of a changing economic climate has been what kinds of art sells. “Since opening ceramics have been our number one seller,” said Hoffman-McCabe, “Functional art has always sold well, but we have seen a big trend towards painting lately. When we opened the paintings didn’t sell.”

An important factor when a new artist approaches the Gallery for a place to display their art lies in the mix of what is already available. “Our requirement is first that they are local, and then we see what our needs are…we always looking for a good mix [of media].”

The Gallery is comprised of four partner/owners including Rita Dunlavy, finance; Linda Heisserman, membership; Lise Hoffman-McCabe, marketing and Dee McBrien-Lee, gallery director. “We see ourselves as a gallery for the artists; it’s not just about sales,” HoffmanMcCabe explained. “All four of us feel like we are providing something special for local artists…we are about promoting art and artists that are up-and-coming and act as a service to artists as a place for them to show their art.”

Aside from the wide range of art available, engaging with their community remains essential. From the annual donation to the Bethlehem Inn at the holidays to the April student show, Red Chair Gallery strives to give back to the community that supports them.

Consider Hidden Treasure in 2015

by BILL DAHL Cascade A&E Feature Writer Everybody’s A Photographer – Right? ccording to the most recent reports, there are 5.2 billion smart phones in use with 4.2 billion of those equipped with cameras. Photo and video sharing apps are the fastest growing smart phone app category. Yahoo estimates that 880 billion photographs will be taken in 2014. In terms of social media sites, FLICKR has 8.5 billion images, Shutterfly 20 bilBill Dahl lion and Instagram over 1 billion. 70 percent of all Facebook activity is related to photo posting. Photos attract 53 percent more likes on Facebook than any other posts. Photos are shared more often than any other content posted.

The increase in smartphone sales has wreaked havoc on the sales of compact and DSLR cameras. The sale of compact cameras has plummeted from 147 million units in 2012 to under 60 million units in 2014. Global sales of DSLR cameras have been reported to have fallen over 25 percent during the same timeframe. Some of the planet’s most recognizable names – Canon, Nikon, Fujitsu and SONY – have suffered double digit declines in their stock values due to this phenomenon. So – everybody’s a photographer today – Right?

A

The New Visual Imagery Reality As one industry declines, new industries emerge and values appear where they had been virtually non-existent. From a commercial standpoint, business use of digital visual imagery has never been more robust – and more strategically important. The internet and social media platforms have created a new reality for businesses and organizations of every stripe – a fresh, robust, professional visual imagery appearance is now a fundamental requirement to compete effectively in our digitally dominated world. This is as true for a small company’s Facebook presence – as it is for a multi-national corporate conglomerate website.

Take a moment and look around Facebook at the visual imagery that inhabits the pages of companies and organizations you’re familiar with. You’re destined to come away with a few common impressions: • That’s really awful.

• That’s okay.

• BORING! • Why would they post that image?

• That’s the same image that’s been on there for eons.

• That’s interesting • WOW! – That’s really great!

The point is this: the management of the visual appearance of a professional digital media presence continues to evolve. Some sites are vastly better than others. Clearly, some companies “get it” while others don’t. So – what am I to do as a business owner or someone who is responsible for championing a new, vibrant, vitality in the visual imagery appearance of my organization’s on-line presence? Well, everyone’s a photographer – right?

The stock photo industry is estimated to generate over $3 billion in revenue in 2014. Many companies and organizations have an agreement that affords them “pay-to-play” access to these image libraries – where they pay a fee for

22

January 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

the use of any one image. These companies include Shutterstock, Getty Images, Dreamstime and the like. Then again, this can get pricey.

Sourcing Local Visual Imagery Perhaps, your company is one who prefers to have a more local/regional flavor or accent to your visual digital media appearance. Where do you go to obtain these images? You have several choices: • Call your son or daughter to bring down their smartphone and click a few pics. Well – maybe not.

• Ask colleagues, business associates and friends if they have a recommendation for you.

• Google your city photographers – The search results are likely to bring up photographers who have actual brick and mortar studios. Some are also graphic designers and/or ad/PR agencies. Your search results are also likely to include enterprises that have moved or are out of business.

Again, this can get pricey.

• Use Facebook to find a local photographer whose work you truly appreciate. For example, if you live in Oregon, check out groups on Facebook like Oregon Photographers or Oregon Photography. Peruse the postings until you find somebody whose talents and perspective you like. Contact them via FB messaging. Get a link to their photo library(ies) or website.

Skype with them. Call them. Meet for coffee.

Hidden Treasure Frankly, some of the best photographers in Oregon (and any other area) will not be found in the yellow pages, via a Google search, passing by their local storefront, or by subscription to a stock photography site. You’ll find them participating in photography groups on Facebook. Here are 12 common characteristics you should look for regarding this type of photographer (four of whom I will profile below): • They are experienced and passionate about what they do.

• They use professional DSLR photography equipment.

• They rely upon post-production software to refine the images they create. This requires possessing the computing horsepower to render the same.

• They have hundreds, often times thousands, of followers on social media.

• The images they share on-line receive likes, hits and views in the hundreds of thousands - to the millions (over time). They have an established following on multiple social media platforms. They are well-regarded in the photography artisan community.

• Their images are protected by copyright and all rights for the use of their images are reserved. They can sell to you.

• They possess image libraries that contain superb images for your company or organization.

• They would love to meet with you and discuss your needs for visual digital imagery – and show you additional samples of their work – that will likely exceed your expectations.

• Their pricing is very competitive.

• Their imagery provides the local/regional and seasonal flavor you desire.

The Visual Imagery Artisans of Central Oregon • They are sources of visual imagery you can depend upon to change out your digital imagery on a local, seasonal basis.

• They are “pros” in every sense of the word – fun to work with – incredibly creative - and local.

Allow me to introduce you to a few of these digital visual imagery artisans from Central Oregon.

west Photographers, Oregon DSLR/SLR Film Photography, and Oregon Photographers. He also contributes images to other websites like Smugmug and 500px. Nick enjoys time-lapse photography, night sky photography, long exposure creativity, landscape photography and astrophotography.

He spends about $1,500 a year solely on gas to get to different locations to shoot…and a bunch more on gear. Nick’s imagery garners hundreds of thousands of views on-line each calendar year.

What do photography aficionados need in Central Oregon? Listen to Nick: “We need a real photography shop here! Professional gear and pro development, and maybe even a rental house for gear. All we have is big box retailers, and their gear selection sucks.”

NICK BRAUN – BEND, OREGON Nick has lived in Bend for 14 years. He’s worked in machine shops, manufacturing, landscape and construction, fabrication, as a climbing shoe re-soler, designer and operator of LineCam Systems LLC. Nick has been a hobbyist photographer for many years, but just recently started taking photography more seriously as a business venture.

Nick’s gear: Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 17-40mm f4 lens, Canon 50mm f1.8 lens, various ND, polarization, and UV filters. He uses Adobe Master Suite, Photoshop, Lightroom, PremierPro-AfterEffects, Imagenomic noise reduction software, LightRoom, Timelapse Pro and Photomatix Pro 5. Nick’s not certain what his specialty is. He’s enjoying exploring the multiple facets of photography. He most frequently shoots landscapes, action sports, time lapse and long exposure images.

According to Nick, “One of the big reasons I love Central Oregon is this: “if you travel in any direction from Bend for 30 minutes, you will find yourself in a different type of terrain, geology and habitat – even climate.

We live in a cornucopia of landscape awesomeness! Beauty surrounds us in 360 degrees. I love to sell my work! What Central Oregonians need to understand is the high density of ‘must go there’ shooting locations we have. I know tons of photographers who travel specifically to Central Oregon just to shoot. It seems that photography does indeed make up an important part of our tourism industry. I can’t count the number of people I have met on-line who have made the trek to Central Oregon after viewing images on the internet of our area.”

JASON BROWNLEE – BEND, OREGON Jason is in the visual imagery business – graphic designer, photographer and video production.. He is a Bend native, and considers Central Oregon a “photographer’s nirvana” due to the vast and diverse natural beauty of the area. He enjoys shooting landscapes, people, portraits and products.

His work has garnered 600,000 views on Facebook alone in the last year.

Combined with other websites, his photography on social media platforms has earned close to one million views in 2014.

Jason shoots with Canon gear and edits primarily in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. He watermarks the images he posts on-line. He licenses his images and is now offering a 2015 calendar adorned with his work.

Jason is of the opinion that Central Oregon photographers are an overlooked dimension of marketing Central Oregon as a place to visit and/or live. He spends “too much” on photography each year. “We need a decent photography shop in Central Oregon,” declares Brownlee emphatically.

JEFF BRYANT – BEND, OREGON Jeff has lived in Bend for 22 years. He’s a single dad with two kids.

He earns his primary living in the hardwood floor installation/restoration industry. Views of Jeff ’s imagery solely on Google + have 662,942 views.

His best work can be viewed on Facebook at www.facebook.com/exquisiteoregon.

Jeff uses a Nikon d7000 camera body outfitted with any number of lenses: Tokina 11 - 16mm f2.8, or a Tamron 35-75 f2.8. He uses Lightroom 5 as his primary editing software and specializes in landscapes – although portraiture is growing in demand.

According to Jeff, “Whether its mountains, lakes, rivers, rock climbing, Central Oregon has a lot to offer. The sunsets here are completely amazing. The view of the Cascades from Bachelor to Jefferson never gets old.

Sparks Lake is one of the most photographed locations in Oregon. Photographers from around the state come to get their chance to shoot the reflection of South Sister and Broken Top in the lake.”

Jeff feels local photographers play an important, often overlooked role in Central Oregon (a guy with over 660,000 views of his shots should know).

“I believe the Facebook page Visit Bend does quite well in sharing the images of local photographers. Why wouldn’t they? We capture the beauty of our region and love to share our work. Thus, people from other states and regions see our area and want to visit or relocate here.”

DAVE WHITE – ALFALFA, OREGON Dave graduated from Mountain View High School in 1979, after moving to Bend in 1972. He works as a driver in the sanitation disposal industry.

Dave shoots with a Nikon D810 accompanied by 14-24, 24-70, 70-200 and a 300mm lens. He does his post-shoot processing in LightRoom 5.

He adores landscape photography and night shots. Dave’s images garner several hundred thousand views a year. One image alone garnered over 63,000 views on Facebook during 2014.

For Dave, “Central Oregon has so much to offer - from the high desert

to the mountains, it’s just an amazing part of Oregon. It never gets boring – especially with the change of seasons. Between the amazing rivers, mountains, all the outdoor sports, boating, skiing, backpacking and cycling - the list just keeps going on and on. It’s an amazing place to live.”

Dave agrees that photographers, as a group, are overlooked in Central Oregon. “I think we are overlooked but sites like Visit Bend do an amazing job sharing our images and link back to us. Everybody wins!”

In 2014, Dave has spent over $5,000 on photography gear and averages about $300 per month just on fuel expenses alone.

Yes, the landscape for digital photography has changed dramatically over past few years. Change will continue. Like any industry, the technology, products and applications will continue to be transformed. Yet, one fact remains a certainty: the use of tasteful, refreshing, eye-catching, attentiongrabbing, locally flavored visual imagery to distinguish your organization from the competition is a necessity. It’s vastly more important today than it was a few years ago. You just have to look in the right places to find what you require…places you may not have thought to consider without articles like this one.

As you consider the strategic necessity to improve your Company’s visual digital media appearance in 2015 – give serious consideration to relying upon the work and skills of yet another hidden treasure of the High Desert – The Visual Imagery Artisans of Central Oregon.

Dig a little - You just might find your company’s digital imagery diamond in the rough for 2015 - and beyond - right here in Central Oregon.

Embrace the reality that we live in a world where clicks, views, followers, shares, links, impressions, time on site and likes are an integral part of a successful business strategy today. The value of local talent that serves as a source of digital visual imagery that separates your company from the rest is a precious commodity.

Remember: Not everybody is a photographer.

Make 2015 a Made in Oregon year for your company.

ut down the remote. Turn off the X-Box. Log off the laptop. Bring the family to experience professional, live, stage productions when the Tower Theatre Foundation launches its new family series Sunday, January 25 at 2pm with Lily’s Purple Plastic Purse.

This delightful adaptation of Kevin Henkes’ award-winning children’s book is recommended for age 4 to 8, and runs approximately one hour. Lily loves everything about school, especially her cool teacher, Mr. Slinger. But when he confiscates her prized possession, a purple plastic purse that plays music, joy turns to misery. Then a note changes her attitude: “Today was a difficult day. Tomorrow will be better.”But villainous bicycle-riding bullies, a spotlightstealing baby brother, and the dreaded “uncooperative chair” test our heroine’s resolve.

The Tower’s Family Series is sponsored by Tetherow, Warren John West and Sun Mountain Fun Center. Upcoming presentations in the series include: Harold and the Purple Crayon, February 6 Nelson Illusions, February 21 Voetberg Family Band, March 13 541-317-0700 or TowerTheatre.org

Physical Feats of Peking Acrobats Play the Tower hina’s most gifted tumblers, contortionists, jugglers, cyclists and gymnasts – accompanied by live musicians playing traditional Chinese instruments – bring their 2,000-year-old acrobatic traditions to the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend for two shows Sunday, January 18 at 3pm and 7:30pm.

All the members of the Peking Acrobats combine grace, charisma and razor-sharp precisionin an entertaining show that is uplifting, awe inspiring and an exploration of human potential.

For Central Oregonians who have not experienced the Peking athletes in person, perhaps the words of Clive Barnes in the New York Post describe the performance best: “The things these kids can do…seem to push the envelope of human possibility. If daring and dexterity turn you on, this is a show that will probably twist you around in your seat…it’s amazing and exciting!”

Ray Solley, the executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation, adds: “They almost seem to defy the laws of physics. It’s like watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon live, without camera tricks.”

Sunriver Resort Lodge

B

etty Gray Gallery closes as the Meadows Dining Room and the Owl’s Nest to prepare for renovation beginning January 5 and continuing through mid-May. The celebratory reopening of the Resort Lodge on Memorial Day weekend will include the unveiling of a major four panel wood carving

by Monica Setziol-Phillips to be installed over the main fireplace in the Great Room of the Meadows. The carving incorporates both carved wood and weaving and will provide a striking addition to the Great Room of the Meadows and Owl’s Nest.

Setziol-Phillips follows in the footsteps of her noted father, Leroy Setziol, whose carvings were among the early artwork commissioned for the then new Sunriver Lodge in the mid-sixties. An example of her art appears with this article.

The Sunriver Lodge Betty Gray Gallery will also join in the reopening celebration with a fine art exhibition featuring the prints of Margot Voorhies Thompson which reflect her interest in calligraphy and reference letterforms from many eras.

Joining Thompson will be the contemporary quilts of Janet Gray Webster, daughter of founders John and Betty Gray.

The exhibition underscores the nearly 50 year history of Sunriver Resort and brings full circle the continuing presence of fine art in the gallery throughout that period.

Setziol-Phillips, Thompson and Webster are also friends of over 30 years of gallery curator, Turner. The 2015 summer season marks the anniversary of Turner’s 20th year in the curatorial role.

The current exhibition in the Sun-

Happy New Year from Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver Village

H

appy New Year from the artists at the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver Village. We are currently 28 local artists living in Central Oregon and are now in our fourth year in Sunriver Village. If you haven’t visited for awhile, there are lots of new surprises in store.

We welcome Laura Jo Sherman, pastel artist. Laura Jo works with “soft” pastels

using pure pigments. She has been a pastel artist for the past 20 years and has perfected her craft. Laura Jo particularly likes to paint landscapes and wildlife and is honored to be a Signature member of the Pastel Society of America. Laura has also won national awards for her art.

Soft pastels are a professional artist’s tool that has been around for over 300 years. The artists of the late 17th century such as Degas, ToulouseLautrec, Renoir and Cassett used them in many of their famous paintings.

Laura Jo finds that nature is the inspiration for most of her paintings.

Working in the field as a plein air artist is a real bonus in Central Oregon thanks to the wonderful and varied scenery and wildlife. Laura Jo often paints a series of work related to one theme. The Stellar Jays were enjoying Laura Jo’s yard with the enticement of yummy bird seed and they inspired her series.

Our renaissance man, Peter Roussel, has been known in the gallery and around Oregon as Peter the Potter! Peter’s signature horsehair pottery continues to be a customer favorite collectable. This season, Peter has surprised us with a new art form…felted scarves! Peter’s scarves are mainly wool and some are combined with pure silk….each scarf is a warm and unique work of art!

Using alternative firing methods he incorporates horsehair, feathers sugar, copper sulfate, ferric chloride and gilded gold to create his one of a kind pieces to complement any décor. All of his pieces are handmade.

Currently he is creating hand felted scarves and color seems to be the common thread. Drop by the Artist Gallery in Sunriver to see some of his most current works on display.

Roussel’s pottery is a reflection of Central Oregon’s ever changing beauty. From high desert vistas and turquoise blue rivers and high mountain lakes, his palate is rich and vibrant.

Know Art: Meet Jackson Pollock & Henri Matisse

Explore the art and lives of both painters with Community Librarian Paige Bentley-Flannery at the Sisters and East Bend Libraries as part of the Know Art series being offered this January. The programs are free and open to the public.

“Pollock and Matisse both used movement to create art,” says Bentley-Flannery. “Every drop of splattered paint from Pollock’s brush and every angle of Matisse’s scissor cut-outs suggests movement,” she says.

This program is for both the artistic and the artistically challenged says Bentley-Flannery. “It’s important to play with paint, create something colorful and have fun in the library at least once a

month!” she says.

During the hands-on program BentleyFlannery will introduce the artists through poetry, biographies, non-fiction books and apps.

THINGS Etc. Adds to Hood Avenue in Sisters

by JEFF SPRY AE Feature Writer xpanding her jewelry and art enterprise in downtown Sisters, Candyce Park has found a new home for her Things Etc. gallery amid the burgeoning creative scene on Hood Avenue, joining eight other galleries down the boulevard.

Park’s new location gives her the added space and excellent lighting to illuminate her own artisan jewelry creations as well as works by Steve Frandsen, Lynn Rothan and Joseph “Little Bear” Sanchez.

“I’m very excited to be able to show people all the lovely art and items I’ve collected in the store,” said Park. “It’s very bright and the sun shines in the window and it just feels welcoming, open and airy. I put a disco ball out when it’s sunny to help people find me. We’re really excited at the caliber of art we offer and artistic value of the pieces by all my friends.”

Besides the clean-lined silver and gold jewelry and lapidary work Park excels at, the gallery also features the modern tribal oils, acrylics, pottery and printmaking of local Lynn Rothan.

“Lynn not only collaborates with me but also Candyce Park will Bill Earhart doing decorate touches to his claywork. Both Lynn and Bill have been in Central Oregon for over 25 years.”

Steve Frandsen’s bold, ethnic turquoise necklaces, signature talismanic jewelry and peyote feather fans lend an added air of distinction to the gallery and perfectly complements the varied nature of the artworks for sale.

“I think I’m definitely a unique gallery of eclectic treasures,” Park added. “I’ve loved Steve’s work ever since I moved here from Iowa in 1989.

His art touches a spiritual place in me and many people and I’m proud to include his creations in my collection.”

Park has had a life-long interest in jewelry-making and jewelry repair and Central Oregon has deepened those passions with its abundance of talented artists and galleries showcasing the area’s finest. She moved here 25 years ago to do custom work and repairs for Jan Daggett, owner

of The Jewel in Sisters.

Oregon is well-known as an amazing place for raw stones like plume agate, holley blue agate and Oregon opal and that has inspired Park to cut and polish stones to expand her horizons.

The Southwest-style jewelry of Little Bear glitters from Park’s glass showcases. From bolo ties and silver rings to bracelets and earrings, everything is all hand-crafted at extremely reasonable prices for such premiere quality.

“He’s a recent transplant to Bend and he has an extensive knowledge of all types of Indian jewelry and actually has an impressive collection of natural turquoise and coral before the practice of dying and stabilizing them for retail sale. His work is unique because he inherited hand-made silversmith stamps made from old files and railroad spikes that are oneof-a-kind.”

With the coming of the new year Park is looking forward to meeting new and interesting people and introducing them to the beauty of Things Etc. “That’s one of the best things about having the store and so many of my customers have become friends and I think that’s what makes it so rewarding.”

ay Larkin is the featured artist in the silent reading room in the Redmond Library thru January.

Enthusiasm for art and photography led Kay Larkin to take many photography classes. Her career in Biology and use of photo-microscopy continued her photographic training. During this time, many of Larkin’s images were published in scientific journals and thousands were utilized for clinical diagnoses.

By nature, Larkin is an experimentalist who

incorporates the use of shallow-depth of field and slow shutter speeds to convey impressions.

Larkin likes to explore the relationships of subjects and their shadows and other optical phenomena. In particular, the photographer enjoys making panoramic images as a way to draw the viewer into the scene and convey a sense of space.

Larkin states that her artistic inspirations are most linked to the late 18th and early 19th Century Luminist painters.

Sure you can get a terrific basic cheeseburger, or you can add toppings ranging from a hen’s egg and pear kimchi to pork belly and roasted bone marrow. Want to add a milk shake to that? Why not try the Apple Pie Milk Shake with maple ice cream, caramelized apples and pie crust or the Salted Caramel Milk Shake with candied pecans.

See what I mean about upscale diner?

On the other hand, I knew a new chef had been brought in, which can be a good or a bad thing. So it was with anticipation and some nervousness that I joined three friends there for dinner.

I need not have worried. Chef John Gurnee, who attended culinary school and worked as an executive chef in the Bay Area before moving to Bend, is a master.

My friends and I shared four starters.

ulti-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word “eclectic.” Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, will perform at The Belfry in Sisters January 11 at 7pm.

David Perry Lindley is an American musician who is notable for his work with Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon and other rock musicians. He has worked extensively in other genres as well, performing with artists as varied as Curtis Mayfield and Dolly Parton. He has mastered such a wide variety of instruments that Acoustic Guitar magazine referred to Lindley, not as a multi-instrumentalist, but instead as a “maxi-instrumentalist” in a cover story about his career to date in 2005.

The majority of the instruments that Lindley plays are string instruments. They include (but are not limited to) the acoustic and electric guitar, upright and electric bass, banjo, lap steel guitar, mandolin, hardingfele, bouzouki, cittern, bağlama, gumbus, charango, cümbüş, oud, weissenborn and zither.

Lindley has performed as a member of the band Kaleidoscope, served as bandleader of his own band El Rayo-X, and has been hired to serve in that capacity for other artists on tour. In addition, he scores music to film and has worked extensively in that capacity. http://belfryevents.com

Their most recent album, Elsebound, has been in the national charts top 10 for more than 20 weeks after reaching number one back in August when it displaced the great Nickle Creek for the top spot.

Hailing from Oregon’s beautiful Willamette valley, Americana-bluegrass quartet True North combines traditional bluegrass instrumenta-

tion with fat harmonies and folk-edged songwriting for a distinctive sound that is fresh, warm and memorable.

True North’s performances exemplify the most compelling aspects of live acoustic roots music: intelligent songwriting, thoughtful arrangements, terrific instrumental interpretations by the band’s highlyskilled pickers and vocals that alternately bring you to tears or raise ecstatic hairs on the back of your neck.

Tickets are $15, and are available at the Nature Center, 541 593-4442 or 541 593-4394. This intimate venue with only 70 seats is expected to sell out so early ticket purchase is advised.

Friday, February 6, The Foghorn Stringband From their origins in Portland Oregon’s underground roots music scene, the core duo of Caleb Klauder, whose wistful, keening vocals and rapid-fire mandolin picking have always been the heart of the band, and Stephen “Sammy” Lind, perhaps the best old-time fiddler of his generation, have spread the old-time string-band gospel all over the world. Along the way, they’ve brought in influences and inspiration from their many travels and fellow bandmates. Vintage country songs became a part of Foghorn Stringband thanks to Klauder’s intense passion for the music, and frequent visits to Louisiana have inspired the group to bring Cajun songs into the repertoire.

Portland’s Foghorn String Band stands at the top of today’s vibrant old-time music revival and is a fine example of what an unending revival it is. Each album finds them deeper into the tradition, more familiar with the rich resources of roots music and more focused, but still propelled by that undercurrent of punk energy. —Art Menius, WMMT Sisters’ favorite and long-time Folk Festival artist Beth Wood will open the show. Beth Wood’s exceptional musicianship, crafty songwriting and commanding stage presence have been winning over American audiences for 16 years. Beth’s music is a soulful, organic, intelligent, barefoot, high-energy communication of joy.

The band, with gorgeous playing and exquisite harmonies, made their Yep Roc Records label debut October 21 with the release of their second full-length studio album, Best Medicine. Following the band’s 2012 self-titled release, which NPR Music named Top 10 Folk/Americana album and proclaimed, “clearly these are players with chops, songwriters with a fierce command of their craft.”

They will be joined this evening with the duo of Cahalen Morrison and Eli West, from Seattle Washington, who are, simply put, two of the most innovaThe Stray Birds tive and subtle roots musicians today. Their music draws from old folk sources, and it sounds vibrantly alive. “After a very successful Festival appearance in 2014, we are happy to bring them back and expose their virtuosity to a broader audience,” says Sisters Folk Festival’s Creative Director, Brad Tisdel.

Friday, February 27 An Evening with Willy Porter To conclude the series, the incomparable Willy Porter will bring his inventive guitar playing, passionate songwriting and entertaining stage-show back to Sisters. Porter’s songwriting is both lyrically rich and musically adventurous, and he is an accomplished finger-style guitarist. Porter’s music moves easily from guitar-driven rock to the open-tuned wonderland of the new acoustic frontier. His live shows combine his guitar-playing, songwriting and on-stage improvisational skills as a storyteller and performance artist. This show pushes the new acoustic music frontier forward, and is not to be missed.
