Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Traveling the Byways of the South

I

The Big Easy Wows You with Culture, Weather & People

am not at my desk writing the typical editorial for this monthly arts magazine.

I have opened up the door, ran from the frame and am seeking the experience that brings new thoughts and visions that only traveling to unfamiliar places can capture.

I haven’t left beautiful and treasured Central Oregon for good; I have just taken another quick detour to garner creative energy and a sampling of southern inspiration.

New Orleans still has its challenges as more than a decade since the devastating wake of Katrina the city forges forward embracing the southern charm of a cultural phenomenon.

On my recent journey to this eclectic destination along with my brave and charming traveling companion I was tuned into experiencing all that the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has to offer. At first thought many envision a bevy of jazz bands and funky musicians portraying the music of the likes of Herbie Hancock, Nat King Cole, Wynton Marsalis or Miles Davis.

While the jazz and blues musicians at this year’s festival such as Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band, John Michael Bradford, Jimmy Cliff, Cassandra Wilson and The Robert Cray Band certainly don’t disappoint, the festival name does not appropriately reflect the menu.

Picture Keith Urban, Wilco, Elton John, The Who (the English rock band absolutely fabulous after fifty years), Ryan Adams, John Legend, Tony Bennett with Gaga and the relentless Jimmy Buffet. If you recognize any of these bands you’ll know that this was a significant festival with some 460,000 people in attendance.

But the music was only part of the experience beginning with Tony the taxi driver who filled us with stories from Katrina. Stories I had never heard before about being shipped to Minnesota following the hurricane, being greeted by “a whole bunch of really nice white women hugging him and giving him food and shelter.” Tony, who said he previously thought white women were mean, admitted that they were so nice it changed his life. Now he sees no color but just good people with good manners and huge hearts (the food not so much).

Unlike Minnesota (which oddly enough I found myself lost in a week after my New Orleans visit) the weather is balmy and there’s an air of cocky optimism where hurricane-devastated buildings quietly stand next to thriving restaurants, bars and shops searching for prosperity.

The captivating jazz and blues and the musicians who engage it in charismatic venues are abundant, the cuisine and the locals are squelching with enthusiasm. It’s a place where everyone encourages you to celebrate. The art scene is so electrified you can’t find words to describe the energy. I am struck by the contrast from the secretive bayou and the vanishing wetlands to the capturing streets of the French Quarter where the locals mix with tourists and everyone smells of gumbo, oysters and beer.

The weather does not disappoint either! Imagine thousands of festivalgoers

braving torrential downpours but rarely departing because of the mud, the wind and the rain. On the second day it rained all day... until 5pm when the sun came out just in time for The Who on stage.

Departing New Orleans was no small feat. On the last day in didn’t just rain, it turned into a mini hurricane whereby all the electricity went out at the airport.

Then I really missed home and was lucky to take the only plane out that day.

As I travel the world over I know that there is so much new under the sun, rewarding me with all things possible. The southern part of America holds a special place in my heart and the music, the art, the cuisine and the friendly soulful habitants are just purely enrapturing.

Flannel John’s Cookbook for Guys

hat are “cookbooks for guys?” According to author Tim Murphy they are “simple recipes men can make fast because we’re lazy and we’re hungry... whether we admit it or not.” That was the concept of the first book. Two and half years later what started as a collection of recipes for cooking-impaired friends at deer camp has grown into a 30-book series.

“I’ve written titles for hunters, fishermen, campers, carnivores, vegetarians, single dads, recent grads, mountain men, seafood lovers, wild game enthusiasts, burger nuts, the bacon-obsessed, hot dog fans, tailgaters, college students, car guys, rock and rollers and a lot more. They work for both beginners and skilled cooks,” said Murphy.

“These books are perfect for Father’s Day and Graduation Day gifts. There is a College Survival Book that can save struggling students hundreds of dollars each month while still eating great home-style comfort food,” said Murphy.

“The Single Guy book is for the real beginner because every recipe has six ingredients or less. The latest title is Flannel John’s Smoke & Fire Cookbook that features meals cooked with fire whether it’s on the grill, on hot coals or over a campfire. I even have a book on do-it-yourself jerky.

To be honest, women are buying most of these titles and not just as gifts.”

Who is Flannel John? “Flannel John is based on a few old hunters I knew from Michigan’s upper peninsula,” said Murphy. “I wanted to honor their spirit and what they taught me. He is equal parts Babe Winkelman, Red Green, Grizzly Adams and crusty mountain man. My dad’s name was John so it’s also in remembrance of him.”

Most of the books contain 100 to 120 recipes and cost $7.95 or $9.95.

High Desert Museum Hosts Tropical Conservationist

T

he High Desert Museum will wrap up this year’s Natural History Pub lecture series on June 8 with a presentation at the museum

by Thomas E. Lovejoy, Ph.D., a biologist and conservationist generally credited with bringing the tropical forest problem to the fore as a public issue.

The focus of Dr. Lovejoy’s talk will be the urgent subject of climate change and how we can proactively manage for our children’s futures through ecosystem restoration. “It’s a privilege to bring Dr. Lovejoy to the museum and hear his perspective on the interplay of landscape ecology, changing environments and policy,” said High Desert Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D.

The waterson desert writing prize

he Waterston Desert Writing Prize and the High Desert Museum invite you to the inaugural award reception and ceremony June 25 celebrating author Rebecca Lawton, winner of the 2015 Waterston Desert Writing Prize.

Lawton will read an excerpt of her proposed book project, The Oasis This Time. Selected for its quality and meaningful contribution to the body of desert literature, her book will focus on California palm oases and their role as barometers of the effects of falling groundwater levels in

Lovejoy is credited with coining the term “biological diversity” in 1980 and made the first projection of extinction rates in the Global 2000 Report to the president that same year. He serves as senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation and is a professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at George Mason University.

“As a global conservation leader, Dr. Lovejoy is awe-inspiring. He has an almost impossible combination of skills as a preeminent biological researcher, dynamic leader, visionary policy maker and gifted communicator,” said John Goodell, curator of natural history at the museum.

Guests are invited to arrive at 6pm to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and a no-host bar.

The presentation will begin at 7pm. The event is free but RSVPs are strongly recommended. www.highdesertmuseum.org/rsvp

communities around the American West.

Lawton of Sonoma, California will receive a $1,000 cash award and a four-week fellowship at PLAYA in Summer Lake, Oregon.

Underscoring the quality of submissions, three applicants were named finalists: Nathaniel Brodie, Oregon, Entangled in the Land; Maya Kapoor, Arizona, The Familiar and Wild and Caroline Treadway, Colorado, Step On This: Desert Ants.

The Waterston Desert Writing Prize was established to honor creative and literary nonfiction that illustrates artistic excellence, sensitivity to

place and desert literacy, as well as to position the desert not only as setting, but also as subject.

Inspired by author and poet Ellen Waterston’s love of the high desert of Central Oregon, a region that has been her muse for more than 30 years, the Waterston Desert Writing Prize recognizes the vital role deserts play worldwide in the ecosystem and the human narrative.

The Vision — BendFilm Flourishes with Indie Women

by PAMELA HULSE ANDREWS Cascade A&E Publisher

endFilm is an inspiring, passionate and economically beneficial event embraced by the community in a pretty big way. An independent film festival that was once a dot on the radar is now one of the top 50 film festivals in the world named by MovieMaker Magazine.

The four-day dream catcher gives our community a firsthand glance at documentaries that are gut wrenching, films that will make you laugh or cry or ponder along, with a chance to meet innovative and hopeful filmmakers who are sure to find a spot in history.

BendFilm is growing in both size and national prestige. In 2014, BendFilm hosted over 125 filmmakers including David Zellner (Kumiko the Treasure Hunter), Leah Meyerhoff (I Believe in Unicorns), Bryon Storkel (Little Hope Was Arson), John Jeffcoat and Tennis Pro (Big in Japan), Anne de Mare (The Homestretch), Blake Robbins (Sublime & Beautiful), Alex Gioulakis (DP Lake Los Angeles and It Follows), Mo Perkins (The Last Time You Had Fun), The Pander Brothers (Subtext) and Michelle Witten (When You Were Mine).

MovieMaker Magazine included BendFilm on its list of festivals it describes as rising stars. The description reads, “Eighteen percent of submissions were accepted to BendFilm in 2014, which aren’t bad odds at all. Throw in a mountain range backdrop, cash and camera package prizes, a newly established filmmaker residency program and work-in-progress workshop series and more craft beer, wine and spirits than our 125 visiting filmmakers could drink.” (Todd Looby, festival director).

BendFilm has had its ebbs and flows in its minor financial crisis and its changes of the guard through various directors, board members and sponsors.

But Bendfilm survives because it is a gift for our community and offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to view great works of thought and visual integrity through film.

Three years ago, several local women fathomed the idea to create a special ‘club’ so to speak, whereby 100 women would each contribute $100 each to raise $10,000 for BendFilm awards especially for women filmmakers and directors. The group is

June 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com | Celebrating Our 20th Year

appropriately called Independent Women for Independent Film (Indie Women).

Money raised is also needed to fund valuable festival activities such as filmmaker visits, lectures and workshops, as well as attendee gatherings that have helped to make the BendFilm festival successful in past years.

With three years and more than $30,000 under our belt, we are well on our way to raising another $10,000 that will help the festival’s inspiring director, Todd Looby, put on another fabulous festival in 2015.

If you want to join Indie Women, it is most assuredly not exclusive, please contact me at pamela@cascadebusnews.com or just send a check made out to BendFilm to me at 404 NE Norton Ave., Bend, OR 97701.

We give in order to continue the amazing tradition of BendFilm.

The Cemetery Club S Returns to 2nd Street Theater

Photo: Stage Right Productions

tage Right Productions presents The Cemetery Club by Ivan Menchell, June 12-27.

Returning to the 2nd Street Theater stage after six years and many requests from audience members, The Cemetery Club, directed by Susan Benson, is a story about love and friendship, featuring Susan Benson, Rachel Deegan, Gloria Anderson, Vicki Pennock and Ken McClintock. The play touches on many subjects and themes, some humorous, some are heartrending.

Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husband’s graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life, Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene.

He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave.

Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart.

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 June 14 and 21 at 3pm. There will a Champagne reception on Friday June 12 from 6:30-7:30pm.

Tickets are $19 adults, $16 student/seniors www.2ndstreettheater.com 2ndstreettheater@gmail.com 541-312-9626

Mistaken identity, disguises, people returning home earlier than expected, puns, a Cretan plague that causes its victims to smile endlessly in its terminal stages and satire about social class all enliven this show, along with many delightful songs. The theme throughout rehearsals for director Deb De Grosse and her delightful cast has been bigger, faster, funnier.

Music is by Stephen Sondheim. The story is by Larry Gelbart and Burt Shevelove.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum will open Friday June 12.

Opening night includes a dessert reception beforehand. The show runs through June 27.

Tickets: $20 adults, $16 seniors (60+), $13 for students.

“I

OperaBend: Into the Woods

nto the Woods you go again, you have to every now and then…” This is one of the many clever lines from the Tony award winning musical, Into the Woods.

Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales in a musical format that follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel – all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.

The show covers multiple themes: growing up, parents and children, accepting responsibility, morality and finally, wish

fulfillment and its consequences. The Time Magazine reviewers wrote that the play’s “basic insight ... is at heart, most fairy tales are about the loving yet embattled relationship between parents and children. Almost everything that goes wrong – which is to say, almost everything that can – arises from a failure of parental or filial duty, despite the best intentions.”

James Lapine said that the most unpleasant person (the witch) would have the truest things to say and the “nicer” people would be less honest. In the witch’s words: “I’m not good, I’m not nice, I’m just right.” Sondheim’s words and music move us back and forth between laughter and tears.

hat exactly is Arduino? According to the official website, “Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, students, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.”

Arduino technology aims to provide creative individuals with the potential to realize truly innovative ideas for smart internet connected devices, wearable technology, high-tech automation, robotics and projects not yet imagined.

Arduino, a major component of the world-wide Maker Movement, was created for the average person, without advanced engineering knowledge, to use for building amazing and interesting devices of their own creation. Get some hands-on Arduino instruction with volunteers from the Bend Arduino group at the East Bend Library.

David Robson, organizer and member of the Bend Arduino Group, says, “Arduino technology is an excellent educational tool to learn software programming and understand electronic devices.”

Inexpensive, open-source and user-friendly, Arduino consists of both hardware (circuit boards) and software (a programming language).

“The two can be combined in an almost infinite number of ways to make even the most whimsical projects – tweeting coffee pots, automated cat doors and elaborate lighting systems,” says Robson. Led by members of the Bend Arduino Group, the workshops are designed with the Arduino novice in mind and over the basics of Arduino technology.

Participants will learn how to set up an Arduino, how to use the Arduino software to write programs and build basic electronic circuits. In four hours, the student will learn to build and program many demonstration circuits and launch into a world of designing their own projects. Students should bring their own laptop if they have one but the library will provide one if necessary.

“With an almost unlimited range of input and output add-ons, sensors, indicators, displays, motors and more, Arduino provides users countless ways to create devices that interact with the world around us,” says Robson.

Sponsors for the workshop include E::SPACE Labs and DIYcave, leaders in the maker movement in Central Oregon and the Bend Arduino Group.

Event date: Saturday, June 6, Noon-4pm East Bend Library.

Space is limited and registration for the free workshops is required.

ity Walls at City Hall, an arts initiative of the City of Bend Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission, presents a special exhibition featuring the works of Sandy Brooke, Henry Sayre and their students.

The Invitational Juried Show honors Sayre and Brooke as they retire from OSU-Cascades. Their instruction in visual arts and art history has influenced many students and artists who now work in the community.

Select students and alumni will also be featured in the show.

In his writing and research, Sayre focuses on the arts and their interrelations, particularly on contemporary genres such as performance and installation.

Two of his textbooks, both in their sixth editions, are widely used throughout the nation: an art appreciation text, A World of Art,” and a writing guide, Writing about Art. Since 2010, Brooke has been in 16 juried shows. Three were national juried, 12 were by invitation and one was a solo exhibition at Dakota State University (DSU). DSU purchased two works for their permanent collection. She has written three books, Hooked on Drawing, Hooked on Painting and Drawing as Expression.

The show will begin at a public reception with the artists from 5-7pm on Friday, June 5, at City Hall, 710 NW Wall Street. The show will remain on display through December 2015.

“This is a great opportunity for the City of Bend to showcase such rich and amazing talent. We’re privileged to honor their influence contributing to the development of Bend as an arts community,” said Bend Arts Beautification and Culture commission member and art history alumni Nathaniel Morgan.

JuJu By Artists, For Everyone

J

Texting Gets Real with Addictive Art Mashup App Images provided by JUJU

UJU Picks up where words and emoticons leave off – injecting texts with emotion and creativity. Previewed at SXSW 2015, JUJU art mashup app was formally announced by Good Juju. With consumers sending a staggering one billion texts daily, this app brings long-awaited innovation to the texting marketplace.

The JUJU iPhone app improves the way we communicate digitally, identify as creative and flat out get comfortable with art.

Available in the iTunes store for free, the app lets users to play with real, licensed, engaging art (no clip art or emoji here), and within a few swipes create a JUJU.

18

June 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com | Celebrating Our 20th Year

HOW IT WORKS Users can start with artwork of a lovelorn looking diva, for example, add a pair of Boticelli-esque wings and layer on a mantra (Killin It, Gypsy Spirit or You Had Me at Hello), creating a unique, visually stunning collage-message.

A JUJU can be added to a text message, to the amazement of the recipient, or to social channels, for the admiration of all.

Layering various pieces of art provides a new, creative way to communicate digitally, whether you’re standing in line for coffee or commuting on the train.

This unique way to visually communicate represents a serious improvement over emoticons and stickers, yet is just as fun as creating a collage on Tumblr or Instagram.

Once created, a JUJU can also be sent as a real mail postcard or used as wallpaper

BY ARTISTS, FOR EVERYONE Good Juju was founded by notable artist and serial entrepreneur Julia Junkin. Known for art that is thoughtful and relatable, Junkin’s designs have found their way onto a wide variety of products sold through out the US as well as well as name-brand retailers.

JUJU Founder, Julia Junkin

“Because words and smiley faces are not enough, JUJU adds meaning and emotions to the texting and social channels that consume our daily lives. Texting has long been flat and lifeless and we are here to change that,” said Junkin founder and CEO of Good Juju.

“Art, with a healthy dose of fun, is the perfect way to address this problem. We are thrilled to bring a new level of accessibility and adventure to art, by way of digital communications.”

According to the JuJu website, “Artists are what make JUJU unique and exciting. We want to be The Place to find new art and artists that one can only dream of.” Some of the artists on the JuJu website are highlighted in this feature.

The JUJU art mashup app can be downloaded for free from iTunes and is iOS compatible.

Curated, licensed art, in many forms and categories, is available for free, while themed “packs” are $.99-$1.99.

Founded in 2014, JUJU achieved a staggering 38 percent In App Purchase (IAP) and became number 75 on the list of top grossing apps in the entertainment category (out of approximately 80,000) on iTunes. The company is headquartered in Bend and is privately-held. www.sharethejuju.com Once created, a JUJU can also be sent as a real mail postcard or used as wallpaper.

As she moves easily between French poster art and Indian religious murals, we suspect a genre-bending belief–a key tenet of JUJU.

My subject matter varies widely from capturing images of the art, architecture, culture and everyday life in Europe, Africa and the western and southwestern U.S. to the “inner life of plants and flowers” via macro photography. Using digital imagery, in some instances I am able to transform a photograph into something that appears more as a painting.” www.billbrant.com Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Exhibition OSU Cascade BFA Student Art under Sandy Brooke, Associate Professor of Art. The OSU Cascades bachelor of fine arts student show will include graduating seniors Kurt Armstrong, Sarah Fisher, Olivia Haro, Angelia Newstrand, Cindee O’Connor, Michael Peterson and Mary Schellert.

Brooke retires at the end of this school year after 25 years of teaching painting. With eleven years in the art department OSU in Corvallis, she started the program in Bend at OSU Cascades in 2001. Two years ago, desiring to expand employment opportunities for BFA graduates, she expanded the program into digital painting and drawing, providing students with new skill sets valuable in the business world. Noting that she will miss the students and teaching, she hopes that a new professor of art will further the program in photography, film and video.

Meet the artists, sip a glass of wine and listen to Rich Hurdle and Friends.

Technically self-taught, Romona credits nature as one of her most valuable teachers.

She explored the woods in rural Oklahoma growing up and found herself immersed in the designs and colors of nature. She then rushed home to draw what she had seen.

De La Vega’s ability to sculpt the human form in clay and give it life is a marvel to behold. She sculpts her deeply honest observations, reflecting even the smallest nuance in character and ultimately revealing an acute, mesmerizing likeness to her model.

The clay is then transformed into elegant figurative bronze sculptures.

Art at the Oxford Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave. 541-382-8436 Mixed media paintings by Mary Medrano thru June 24. Medrano, a BFA graduate of Western Michigan University with certification in graphic design and visual communications from UC Santa Cruz, notes that painting is her favorite way to express her thoughts and emotions.

Inspired by the natural world, she chooses birds finding that their unique personalities and behaviors lend them to interpretation.

The artist’s work is largely autobiographical, from her subconscious. For her current series, Three by Mary Madrano she borrowed the shape of the Black-Eyed Junco, the California Quail and a few fictional birds to represent her joy at living in Central Oregon.

Beginning with the end in mind, she visually explores combinations of paint, textures, words and lines. The artist both applies and subtracts color, sands the surface, adds lines with graphite or ink, collages fabric and draws with oil pastels and colored pencils. “It’s a give and take process until I am satisfied with the results,” says Medrano.

Her art has shown in numerous California galleries including the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest.

In 2007 jurors (art critics and historians) selected her work for the Florence Biennale in Italy.

Bend artist Ron Schultz exhibits an exploratory series on time and its influence on people and objects. Schultz combines encaustic painting, drawing and book inspired assemblages with variety of other materials–industrial stains, varnishes, pigments, copper and metal patina methods and incorporates the collage of handmade and exotic papers and natural fibers and found items that give his work a physical and textural quality. e-Card Image by Pat Clark

Jacqueline Newbold teaches watercolor and art journaling classes all over the world.

She has created a DVD for Interweave Workshops called Art Journals On-The-Go: How to pack, prep, paint Art by Linda Swindle and more. Jacqueline has published a book titled Watercolor Journeys that is full of helpful information for beginning to advanced watercolor enthusiasts. She often has articles and artwork in publications such as Somerset Studio’s Art Journaling, Interweaves Press’s Cloth Paper Scissors and Studio’s. She also creates jewelry that is sparkling and a delight to wear.

Joanie Callen is a mosaic artist with a love of color, especially strong saturated colors that dominate her work. She studied classical mosaics in Ravenna, Italy that inspired her own technique of a modern translation of the Byzantine method of setting tesserae (pieces of glass) directly into a mortar bed. Joanie’s latest challenge has been to incorporate fused glass into her pieces, this has resulted in beautiful fused glass buttons, flowers, stars and various fanciful shapes used to accentuate her creatures and functional mirror art.

Townshend’s Bend Teahouse 835 NW Bond St., Late Storm by Kathleen Keliher Carrissa Glenn 503-803-4024 Donn Curry is a visual artist and poet originally from South Carolina. He graduated from Appalachian State University in 1996 with a BFA in painting and has exhibited his work in San Francisco and Portland. Although known for his painting, Curry has focused his artist eye with the aid of the lens of a camera to document and capture his love of nature and an affinity for the human spirit in this exhibition entitled Peace Book.

Peace Book is a project whose initial premise was to be presented as a book of poetry and photography highlighting Curry’s four year excursion of travel while living in Asia. However, Curry has taken another path and is presenting his inspiration for living life to the best of his ability and to enjoy life to the fullest through a photographic exhibition.

“I think there will be a shift in my painting this year. I’m very focused on the plein air aspects, and find myself out in the field at least two to three days a week.

I think it will definitely influence my studio pieces.” Her show will feature an assortment of old and new images, from small plein air studies to larger studio works.

Red Chair Gallery Features Linda Swindle C reativity and the processes of art have been a lifelong endeavor for Linda Swindle.

She graduated with a bachelors degree in art education which enables her to teach and share her passion for art with others. She has done so at all levels; preschool children through adults. It brings her joy to experience with her students, the process of creation, whether it be a painting on paper, canvas or silk.

Watercolor is the medium that suits her personality, “I enjoy the freedom and spontaneity that happens and the fluidity of the movement of paint and water. It is very satisfying to stand back and throw some vibrant, juicy paint at a canvas or paper.”

In the past few years, Swindle has started painting on silk. She says painting on silk is very similar to watercolor. The silk is porous and transparent and the dyes flow across the fabric, similar to watercolor on wet paper. She appreciates the vibrant color and the tactile quality of the silk.

The added bonus is she can wear her art!

Inspiration often comes from Swindle’s daily walk

through life. She tries to capture everyday moments such as comical animals, interesting people, strong light and muted shadows, and interesting textures on surfaces. The challenge is then to create a composition that invokes an emotional response in the viewer.

Swindle explains, “ I achieve this by exaggerating the existing color to capture the mood of the subject matter and simultaneously create an emotional response to the painting.”

“The gift of creativity is a blessing in my life and has brought me great joy. I am thankful that I am able to share my work, my experiences and for the people that it has brought into my life.”

Linda Swindle’s work can be seen at Red Chair Gallery. She is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon. www.LSWatercolor.com

Broken Top Club

Digital painting demands a knowledge of the formal elements of shape, space, perspective, value, color, line, texture and pattern. This knowledge must be applied to composition using the principles of design; balance, emphasis, focal point, scale, proportion, unity, variety, rhythm and repetition.

Behind all techniques is critical thinking.

The artist must form an idea and then develop that idea with their skills in art.

Rhodes is a pastel artist with a fondness for encaustics.

Of all the mediums she has worked with she is most passionate about encaustics, an ancient art that combines bees wax and pigment. Rhodes puts her own contemporary spin on the process all the while loving the bright colors, texture and challenges that working with hot was can present.

Featuring Art by Debbie Parrish, Valerie T. Smith & Lois Wilson ircle of Friends Art & Academy announces its “STARS” for June. The creative talents of featured artists Debbie Parrish, Valerie Y. Smith and Lois Wilson will be on display throughout the month.

The Circle of Friends Art Gallery is home to over 112 working artists. At Circle of Friends Art we believe Art Lives!

Debbie Parrish, Pottery For as long as she can remember, Parrish has been artistically creative. In the mid-1990s, she took a ceramics class. This led to creative work crafting hand-built functional stoneware. Every fish, plaque or decorative box piece is hand built with attention to detail, aesthetic beauty and whimsy.

Valerie Y. Smith, Acrylic / Colored Pencil After retirement, Smith returned to her passion–drawing and painting horses.

The beauty and grace of horses has always fascinated her. Originally working in graphite and colored pencil, Smith has added acrylics and pastels to her list of media. She sums up her artwork as “not just a presentation of the horse, but a celebration” of this majestic animal.

Lois Wilson: Fused Glass Art & Dichroic Jewelry Wilson began working in stained glass but fell in love with fused glass. The beauty and reflections of glass with all its available colors is fascinating and its possibilities are endless. Melting glass in a heated kiln allows different glass to flow into one another. The result is always something new.

The public is invited to join the Circle of Friends family at a reception in honor of the artists on Saturday, June 6, 4–7pm.

Circle of Friends Art Gallery 19889 8th St. (Corner of Hwy 20 & Cook Ave. in Tumalo) Jae Yost, 541-706-9025, www.circleoffriendsart.com

Quality Art at the

Sunriver Art Faire in August

he Annual Sunriver Art Faire (SRAF) looks forward to its sixth year in The Village at Sunriver on August 7-9. Six Central Oregon art professionals have served as jurors to select the highest quality works from among the more than 140 artist applicants.

The Jurors have experience and expertise in a variety of art; since the categories include several art venues, it is important for the jurors to have a range of art knowledge.

The Sunriver Women’s Club is proud to acknowledge the jurors who served in the 2015 Sunriver Art Faire process.

Judy Hoiness, who holds a masters degree in art from Syracuse University, recently retired as an adjunct art faculty member from Central Oregon Community College. Working in watercolor, mixed media and acrylic, her work today is influenced by Northwest landscapes and environmental issues. She is presently working with textiles and paint on panel and paper.

Judy Hoiness

SUNRIVER

David Kinker, fine artist, river guide, muralist and teacher, explores his deep connection to nature and water in visual mantras, “a door to one’s own perceptions, gazing into a kaleidoscope of space and time different and unique from that of representational imagery.” His murals can be seen in public places throughout Bend as well as in many private homes.

Helen Brown’s work has been juried into two national publications. She was chosen for Splash 16 (2015) and Splash 17 (2016) the Best of Watercolor, by North Light Books. Helen’s work can be seen at the Tumalo Art Company. According to Helen, “jurying the SRAF for the last three years has been challenging and rewarding for me!”

Sarah Hansen hopes to express our connection as humans to our surroundings and each other by exploring how we can create beauty and pattern from life’s chaos and build hope in our lives. For 20 years she painted award-

winning portraits. Her current paintings usually include a feel of human presence. Recently, she developed a technique of painting watercolors on up-cycled Plexiglas.

Will Nash loves sculpture, space, expanse and balance.

Wood provides him with a medium that has endless possibilities and an inherent beauty he maximizes when building creative structures, cabinetry, furniture, musical instruments and architectural details. He pursued graduate studies in art and architecture at Portland State University and worked in advertising for five years before ultimately pursuing woodworking.

Dakota Mitchell experiences art and life as parallel processes. Facing a canvas elicits the same emotions she feels during the course of experiencing life. Just as in the daily challenges of life, success and failure can be present at every turn. The reward and joy come when she finds her way through each challenge that comes her way.

New exhibits from hats to photography June featured artists are Richard Frederick – photography, Dorothy Sweet – hand knit hats, Midge Thomas – metal arts and Ken Medenbach – chainsaw creations.

Meet them at the 2nd Saturday Meet the Artists Reception June 13, 4-6pm with wine and beer and food.

DOROTHY SWEET: Hand Knit Hats Dorothy’s Sweet Noggins hats are all hand knit and one of a kind and so very special. Her hat designs and interpretations mirror her personality... fun and stylish, sometimes whimsical and always colorful and unique.

RICHARD FREDERICK: Photography Richard’s ability to produce fine art photographs derives from an extensive background in science together with an acquired ability to “see” the subject matter as more than a collection of inanimate objects.

“I am often inspired by the yarn itself. The texture of the fiber or the luscious color pattern can lead me to surprising places. I am amazed how often, somewhere between conception and finished product, my work takes on an unplanned, interesting detour. I love happy accidents.”

Richard is especiallyfocused on the use of natural light. The light is sought out and seen thru the eye of experience with the passionate desire of capturing its essence. As a seeker of this natural light, Richard’s work is done in the outdoors.

MIDGE THOMAS: Metal Arts The metal art by Midge knows no bounds. Her Central Oregon scenes have been a gallery favorite and Midge has been commissioned to create some very large and unique pieces... perfect above your hearth.

KEN MEDENBACH: Chainsaw Creations Ken is the gallery’s own artist with a chainsaw. Bears and benches and eagles and pine trees... everything to make your Central Oregon home a unique haven.

Her hats are arranged by age, from newborn and up.

Scenes combine Mount Bachelor, Sparks Lake, trees and elk or deer... and even a canoe or two. Her designs range from great functional key holders to dog silhouettes to bikers and skiers. The collection is constantly changing.

Custom orders invited.

My reward in photography derives from having captured this instant for all time, as it will never again be the same.

Ken’s unique and rugged benches have long been a favorite – functional and earthy and each a unique piece of art. Another favorite are Ken’s bears, each has a unique expression and a job. His bears hold American flags, welcome signs and are even seen catching a fish. And for the Christmas holidays… you can add a Santa hat…for Santa Bears.

elebrating the creativity of the human spirit and the spectacular beauty of Central Oregon’s Smith Rock, the third annual Smith Rock Plein Air Paint Out is set for June 20.

The public is invited to watch as artists from across the Pacific Northwest participate in a timed plein air painting competition followed by a juried exhibition at the Redmond Municipal Airport/Roberts Field.

The High Desert Art League and Smith Rock State Park created this event to bring the

experience of the park to new audiences. Smith Rock is a world famous rock-climbing site and is host to miles of hiking and mountain bike trails. The stunning cliffs separate the meandering Crooked River from the distant Cascade Mountains skyline of snow capped peaks; a perfect setting for artists, photographers and nature lovers of all kinds.

The competition is open to all artists working in 2-D media that can be created from start to finish in the park, in the allotted time. “It’s a great experience to watch an artist work from a blank canvas to a finished, framed work of art,” says High Desert Art League President Vivian Olsen. “And quite a treat to be able to purchase the artwork you saw being created following the event.”

Join the Club at Bistro 28

T

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop & Oregon Local Getaways

he words athletic club don’t usually conjure up notions of great food. But that was before Bistro 28 opened at the Athletic Club of Bend.

Three friends and I started our evening with a round of cocktails by the fireplace in the tastefully revamped restaurant. Lovely.

Once seated at our booth, we realized that either the benches are a bit low or the tables a bit high. I felt like a little kid. Until our appetizers arrived that is.

The zesty barbecued (wild-caught) shrimp served with a delectable sauce you could put over just about anything

AHI TUNA WITH KIMCHEE

ROMESCO NEW YORK STRIP

tastes just as good as it does at Zydeco, which makes complete sense since Cheri and Steve Helt own and operate both restaurants.

The Frisée salad with bacon, a poached egg and light, lemony bacon vinaigrette was comforting as always. Who doesn’t love this French classic in which eggs and bacon meet greens?

35

The list of entrees looked so inviting that we wound up ordering five dishes for four people.

The crab cakes were chock full of crab. My friend Jill announced that the word cake had been tacked onto the name only because it was a celebration. She deemed the dish a work of art. The accompanying crisply shoe-string potatoes were addictively sexy.

The pork chop marinated with lemongrass was moist and flavorsome. If you like a somewhat sweet, soy sauce taste, this is the dish for you.

I preferred the beautifully prepared ahi tuna encrusted

CENTER CUT PORK CHOP

DUNGENESS CRAB CAKES

with grains of paradise, which drew unanimous raves.

We all agreed that it tasted like we were in Hawaii.

The wood-fired rotisserie chicken delighted some of us more than others. I would have preferred a straightforward, juicy bistro-style bird. But two of my friends–and my brother the next day-loved its light, flavorful smoke.

I do believe my brother even used the word amazing,

June 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com | Celebrating Our 20th Year

which is not something you often hear about leftovers.

My favorite entree, which I would have again just over a week later, was the porcini-compound butter filet.

Served with perfectly al dente asparagus and French fries, this melt-in-your-mouth, baseball cut of beef was so good that I couldn’t even speak. I just oohed and awed and purred. On my return visit, my dining companion shared a chop from her rack of lamb seasoned with fennel and coriander. It’ll be a tough choice next time.

Bourbon Pecan Pie without any of that traditionally gummy filling proved to be the meal’s crowning moment.

BOURBON PECAN PIE

“OMG. One of the best desserts I’ve ever had,” exclaimed my buddy Viv. Too busy making sure I got another bite, I could only nod in agreement.

THE WORK HOUSE www.theworkhousebend.com 50 SE Scott Street, Suite #6, Bend Cari Dolyniuk 347-564-9080 NOTE TO SELF: YOU CAN JOURNAL TOO! Tuesday, June 2, 6-9pm, $25 Often the simplest way to gain clarity in life is to write your way through it. Graduate student members of OSU-Cascades Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing want to help you tap into your best self through the words that emerge when no one else is watching. We invite you to come learn to build a sustainable journaling practice.

In one innovative (three hour) workshop, we will tackle questions such as: • How do we get over “journaler’s block”?

• How do we let go of our egos and our anxieties and learn to write from vulnerability?

• How can a daily practice of writing help us to cope with difficult situations, to resolve problems, and to set goals?

Notions of, “I don’t have time,” “I’m not a writer” or “I don’t have anything to say” will be put to rest as we explore methods of looking at our experience objectively, from the “outside,” in order to observe, recognize and adjust behavioral and emotional patterns.

To paraphrase The Hitchhiker’s Guide to flying lies in learning how to throw yourself to the ground and miss. In our workshop, we will learn to trick ourselves into letting local beer from Worthy Brewing. All skill levels welcome, but you must be 21 or older.

BEER SIP & DIP Thursday, June 4, 7-9pm, $35 Drink and PAINT with Beer!

Spend a fun evening painting with beer artist, Karen Eland. Basic painting techniques will be taught as we explore beer as a medium, all while enjoying delicious, local beer from Worthy Brewing. All skill levels welcome, but you must be 21 or older.

COFFEE SIP & DIP Sunday, June 7, 1-3pm, $35 Drink and PAINT with Coffee!

Dip your nose and your paintbrush into a delicious cup of coffee from Sparrow Bakery while artist, Karen Eland, walks us through creating beautiful images with this ingenious medium!

Basic techniques will be taught and Karen will give one-on-one help too. Why not get a little creative over your Sunday coffee!

We will cover the basic way to use a Digital SLR camera in manual mode and learn to identify how different in-camera effects are created (light painting, bokeh, etc).

The class will end with our very own fine art photography exhibit.

Participants will receive: A comprehensive handout that includes all the information covered in the course, as well as detailed description of assignments.
