Celebrating Oregon Arts
This pattern of discrimination by the OAC is a very solid reason for sending am really pleased to see that Governor Kate Brown is reinstating the numerous nominations for the Governors Awards. A committee will recommend Governor’s Arts Awards in honor of the Oregon Arts Commission’s 50th three to five awards based on the nominee’s Anniversary. The Governor recognizes regional, national or international “the uplifting power of art and its value to “Art is a fundamental ingredient of any recognition for their contributions; role in Oregonians’ quality of life.” thriving and vibrant community.

Nominations’ deadline is June 30. Recipients will be notified by July 28 It’s all good and I encourage you to make nominations representing the arts in and must be available to attend the October 6 award ceremony in Portland. our region. But here’s the catch: The current makeup of the Oregon Arts Commission has not been kind to Central Oregon. Last fall the Oregon Arts Commission (OAC) pulled funding of the High Desert Museum stating that it does not meet eligibility requirements for two grants that amount to about $20,000. The OAC cleverly determined that the grants were for arts-related organizations and the Museum Aunts & Uncles does not fulfill the requirements because its ‘core mission is not related to arts.’ Handbag The OAC reasoning was troubling because the Museum hosts permanent $259 art exhibits and featured periodic art-related displays such as Art of the West and the Art for a Nation, ongoing Spirit of the West and Indian Nations of the Columbia River Plateau. It sounded like the OAC had defined art as not being inclusive to history, culture and diversity. Embroidered Tunic $50 In large part due to the OAC’s blatant disregard for funding Central Oregon artists and organizations, legislation introduced by Representative Knute Buehler is pending (approved unanimously by the Oregon House) that would assure that all future grants are designed to consider regional differences around the state and promote (this is really important): investment in communities where opportunities for engagement in arts and cultural development is limited. Raw Hem Skinny Jeans $79 Concentration by the OAC of disproportionate funding to the Portland and Willamette Valley needs to end. The cancelling of the Museum’s funding shouldn’t come as a surprise if you look at the bigger picture and see a pattern of Salem disenfranchising Central Oregon from arts funding. Over the last few years, since leadership at the OAC changed, Central Oregon has received less and less Minnetonka funding from the OAC and the Oregon Cultural Trust (the Trust was established Wedge $75 by respected and celebrated Ben Westlund of Central Oregon). Ben would not be happy that the OAC and the Trust have taken a limited view of art on the eastern side of the state and developed a pattern of exclusion. It surely cannot have been the Legislature’s intention when establishing the Commission or the Trust. 330 SW Powerhouse Drive, Bend • 541.749.9980 • www.desperadoboutique.com

Tower Receives Education Grant from Clabough Foundation
The Tower Theatre Foundation received a $5,000 grant from the Clabough Foundation in support of its Educational Outreach Program, LessonPLAN (Performing Live Arts Now). The Clabough Foundation aims to promote and improve the conservancy and stewardship of natural resources, and to promote and foster regional arts and cultural offerings. Since 2011, LessonPLAN has connected every school district in Central Oregon with performers from around the world. “We’ve provided 22,000 Central Oregon students the opportunity to watch and be a part of live performances filled with scientific experiences, historical teachings, culture and so much more,” says Tower Theatre Foundation Education Manager Dani Wyeth. “Performing arts deepen their classroom courses and empower the students to share their own creativity and talent, an experience many would not have otherwise.” Tower Theatre Foundation Director of Fundraising, Jodie Barram, adds, “It’s so amazing to see kids excited about what they are learning! The investment in these kids and educators is an essential contribution to the strength of our community.” www.towertheatre.org and www.claboughfoundation.com

RODEO
Bobby Kerr’s Mustang Act Returns to Sisters Rodeo Sisters Rodeo returns Bobby Kerr’s Mustang Act to the arena for the 77th annual rodeo. In 2014, Kerr made his first appearance in the northwest at Sisters, where rodeo crowds were on their feet cheering and gasping as they watched the miracle of what a trainer can do with a formerly wild horse. Kerr became a Mustang trainer after forty years as a professional horse trainer. In 2010, he viewed the Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover as a guest and his heart was captured. With his touring act, Kerr proudly allows ordinary Americans to learn something about this grand tradition of the West, its wild ranging horses. These beautiful steeds demonstrate the versatility and trainability of the

The exhibition features interactive stations for visitors to make paw prints, create track rubbings and test their knowledge matching animals with the appropriate scat. All ages can use what they learn to discover more while they are outdoors. The art of tracking wildlife evolved over thousands of years, from early humans hunting game to modernday biologists following wild animals through the use of radio collars and satellite telemetry. Scientists are also able to collect and analyze animal scat to determine an individual animal’s health. Scat & Tracks tells a more complete story about the messages animals leave in the wild and how biologists can use this data to characterize and monitor behavior, habitat use and population dynamics. www.highdesertmuseum.org

Waterston Desert Writing Prize
Three finalists recognized for proposed desert nonfiction projects.
N
aseem Rakha of Silverton, Oregon has been chosen as the winner of the 2017 Waterston Desert Writing Prize. Her winning proposal, Searching for the Soul of Creation, was chosen by the judges for its quality of writing, unique perspective and meaningful contribution to the body of desert literature. Rakha will be honored at a reading and reception at the High Desert Museum in Bend at 5:30pm on Wednesday, June 28. New this year, the evening will include A Desert Conversation with panelists Kathleen Naseem Rakha Dean Moore and John Calderazzo. Rakha will receive a $2,000 cash award and a four-week fellowship at PLAYA in Summer Lake at Summer Lake, Oregon. Serving as judges of the blind submissions were board members Julia Kennedy Cochran, Jennifer Delahunty, Louise Hawker, Ted Haynes, Gail Hill, Richard Linford, Jeff Tryens and Ellen Waterston. Colorado State English Professor Emeritus and author John Calderazzo acted as guest judge. The judges reviewed more than seventy submissions from
writers across the United States as well as Austria, Canada, India and Palestinian Territory, Occupied (the author’s identified location). Rakha’s project proposal focused on the desert tortoise. She intends to explore what must be done to support the desert tortoise and its habitat so that it does not vanish into pure myth, as well as what the desert tortoise and its habitat teach about intention and quiet. Guest judge Calderazzo said, “The winner and finalists of this year's prizes deserve more than the usual praise. They won out over a bushel of gloriously talented writers whose insights and passions made this contest a real pleasure to read, even as it was no easy task for the judges to pick just a few winners. What a delight to know that so much good nonfiction writing is out there— and so much heart.” Underscoring the quality of submissions, three applicants were named finalists: Kendra Atleework, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sweetwater: Life and Change in the Rain Shadow of the Sierra Nevada, Charles Hood, Palmdale, California, Red Center and Lawrence Lenhart, Flagstaff, Arizona, Rewilding the Ferret. The Waterston Desert Writing Prize was established to honor creative and literary nonfiction that illustrates artistic excellence, sensitivity to place and desert literacy, with the desert as subject and setting. Inspired by author and
LITERARY WORD
poet Ellen Waterston’s love of the High Desert of Central Oregon, a region that has been her muse for more than thirty years, the Waterston Desert Writing Prize recognizes the vital role deserts play worldwide in the ecosystem and the human narrative. The prize is funded from an endowment managed by the Oregon Community Foundation, with the impetus for the creation of the endowment provided by actor Samuel Waterston, after whom the prize is named. As the endowment for the prize grows, so will the annual prize amount. Submissions for the 2018 Waterston Desert Writing Prize will be accepted starting January 1, 2018.

How-to Fest: A Day-Long Exploration of New Skills & Crafts
F
rom beekeeping to leathercraft and creating a website to nurturing a vegetable garden, you can learn a range of new skills in one day and at one place on June 17 when the Redmond Library hosts its first ever How-to Fest.
“We at the library are all about continuing education, community building, and access,” says Josie Hanneman, the Community Librarian who is planning the event. “The How-to Fest will bring together people who might not necessarily
share the same social groups. They can learn from each other, teach each other and just meet their neighbors.” The free, day-long event gives attendees the opportunity to learn from community experts. All of the presenters are volunteering their time and expertise, which allows them to showcase a skill or craft about which they are passionate. “Our entire teaching staff is either volunteering their time, or they are library employees,” says Hanneman. “Our volunteers are local business people and community leaders—they want the opportunity to give back, but it will also give them a platform to share their ingenuity, business practices and ideas with the wider community.” The How-to Fest takes place at the Redmond Library (827 SW Deschutes Avenue in Redmond). Sessions begin at 10am and continue throughout the day. www.deschuteslibrary.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | June 2017

The process includes enlisting seven talented playwrights to create seven brand new short plays within the allotted time the night before they are cast, produced and staged. Playwrights are given specific prompts to incorporate into their original works. Early the next morning, seven visionary directors read the scripts and cast each play using 17-24 actors. The actors show up a few hours later and rehearse all day, culminating in a performance of all seven short plays that night. The result is an exciting night of live theatre! Performance is on June 3 at 7:30pm at 2nd Street Theater. Tickets are $15. www.2ndstreettheater.com

A Beautiful & Intricate Tale of Survival
tage Right Productions presents the Tony and Pulitzer prize winner, I Am My Own Wife by Doug Wright at 2nd Street Theater June 16July 1. I Am My Own Wife, directed by Juliah Rae and starring Randy Heise, is the astonishing true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transvestite and celebrated antiquities collector who successfully navigated the two most LBGTQ oppressive regimes of the past century — the Nazis and the Communists —all while openly gay and defiantly in drag. She was both honored as a cultural hero and accused of colluding with the Stasi. Her story, woven around a vivid portrait of Germany in the second half of the twentieth century, tells a morally complex tale about what it takes to be a survivor in the face of all odds. Wright uses more than thirty characters—all played here by
D
the masterful Randy Heise to piece together Charlotte’s controversial life. As the character Doug says to her in the play, “First the Nazis, and then the Communists? It seems to me, you’re an impossibility! You shouldn’t even exist.” Stage Right will be offering a special discount to all PLFAG and The Human Dignity Coalition to I Am My Own Wife.

elly Thiel’s passion for creativity starts on a small farm in Georgia for the first few years of her life. With nothing much to do, she says she learned how to entertain herself by making mud pies in the dirt. Her mother taught her about plants and gardening and art, while her father taught her and her brother how to ride a horse. At the age of 11, she moved to Virginia Beach to enjoy its sandy beaches and ocean front lifestyle until her early 20s. At Virginia Tech she got a degree in interior design eventually moving to Charleston, South Carolina where she broke from her corporate life. Kelly and her mother enrolled in an introductory pottery course at the Gibbes Museum and that was when she realized that clay was the perfect medium for her (at the time). After spending the first nine years focusing on wheel-thrown and slab-built pottery, and only making sculpture on the side, Kelly changed her focus to only working on figurative sculpture in 2009. After the death of her mother, she Unstoppable felt a huge creative shift in her clay

and thus began her commitment to her sculpture. But today you’ll find this delightful woman has many talents: from mixed media, bronze and sculpture and even co-founding a studio in Bend for creatives, The Wilds. Kelly’s recent exhibitions feature bold subject’s in mixed media acrylics that tell women’s stories. The work is gorgeous, imaginative and magical! She says she paints subject’s lives, that The Phoenix of their parents, stories secret/ hidden or in plain view. She notes that the artwork comes from a compulsion to “get the stories out.” Her art, in a bold palette, uses over-scale faces with little expression, perhaps a slight smile, with closed or intently focused eyes looking directly at the viewer. She draws the narrative script near the intriguing faces as text, some legible, others illegible, but to Kelly, it is mandatory to complete the story told through art. “Some people know me for my clay and others know me for my paintings,” offers Kelly. “ I think I will always work in both mediums. To me, I am simply working to get these narratives out in the world, no matter what medium I am working in. My artwork shifted dramatically in 2009, after the death of my mother and the birth of my firstborn, all in the same year. I became obsessed with each of our personal stories and the stories of our lives. I didn’t quite have the words to express these feelings; they were trapped inside. I believe that is why my creations require a bit of soul-searching. “One needs to see that there is a backstory and possibly have an idea of what is being said. My subjects often have a slight smile or maybe a pensive look; what do you think is going on in her head? It’s part of the narrative, HER narrative. During that year of major shift in my work, Journal page
I started including text in my sculptures and my paintings, as a way to lead the viewer, or even include them in part of the story. I kept a journal as a child, and again as an adult, but this time it was an art journal filled with colors and text and faces. The small scale of the journal became stifling; I needed to work larger! And thus my paintings have gotten larger, with more oversized Orphic and up-close portraits of my subjects. “Both the clay and the paint are so tactile and physical; I love the movement of my arm created when I use a palette knife, and the feel of the clay as I squeeze it into shape. It’s all part of my own narrative; I am telling part of my story every time I touch the paintbrush or the mound of clay.” “Kelly Thiel speaks eloquently of the courage and inner fire gained through her life experience; perhaps it is that awareness which equips her to so deftly depict the souls of women in her paintings — a lifted eyebrow denotes determination, closed eyes and soft face reflect a quiet strength,” remarks Billye Turner, art consultant and curator of Thiel’s recent Bend exhibitions. “The artist skillfully, subtly, tells these and many other stories in her colorful, over-scale portraits.” In 2014, Kelly and her family (husband, photographer Charlie Thiel, two amazing daughters and three funny dogs) made a giant shift in their lives, and moved the family to Central Oregon. They packed up the dogs, two kids, two studios (one clay and one photography) and headed out west. In Oregon, Kelly says she found an easy transition and has been loving it ever since. Kelly’s ceramics were have shown internationally in 2016 Shades of Clay invitational; Kunsthuis Gallery, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom; Unwedged, Pottery Northwest, Seattle; Menagerie, Baltimore Clayworks; solo showswith her paintings at Natural Edge Furniture (2016) and most recently at The Oxford Hotel (March and April), with another group show this past January, New Year, New Art, at Franklin Crossing, all in Bend. The artist brought considerable prior experience to Central Oregon with exhibitions in Mississippi, North Carolina, Georgia, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Her work appears in numerous publications, and received Honorable Mention, Piccolo Spoleto Fine Craft Show, May 2007. Kelly’s work has been on the cover of Handmade Business and was included in the 500 Figures series by Lark Books. She teaches workshops locally in Central Oregon as well as on the East Coast, where she used to live. She currently Moving Forward

The women are two friends who wanted to work together and create a hub of artistic energy for the community. Kelly’s personal studio is at The Wilds and she can often be found there, teaching a class or working, and maybe even enjoying some of the amazing craft beer Bend is known for. The space for artists and creatives is in the same area as GoodLife Brewing and BackPorch Coffee Roasters off Century Drive on the west side of Bend. Ithosts artists’ studios and desks to allow for many types of creating — from graphic design and digital arts to painting and clay sculpture. The Wilds provide daily work space, but art classes and workshops in the evenings and/or on the weekends, exhibitions, meeting space and a general positive energy in which to create. They are interested in the synergy and collaboration that can happen when you get all types of creatives together. Kelly says The Wilds is for fearless creators who need a place to focus on their work, while enjoying the atmosphere of other entrepreneurial artists. www.thewildsbend.com

I try to portray more than it is in a fun and imaginative way,” she explains. Jacqueline is a member of the Red Chair Gallery in Bend, the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the High Desert Art League. She teaches watercolor workshops at her Tumalo studio, the Art Unraveled Art Retreats in Phoenix, the Art & Soul Retreats in Portland and online with the Artful

Sharon Engel’s Summer Meadow Sunriver Music Festival 40th Anniversary Poster
A
rtist Sharon Engel’s exquisite look at the colorful meadows of Sunriver has been selected as the 40th Anniversary poster for this year’s Sunriver Music Festival. Each year, local artists are asked to submit artwork for poster consideration. A committee of art enthusiasts selected Sharon’s painting. Beautifully framed by Eastlake Framing, the original painting called Summer Meadow, Sunriver is now on display at the Sunriver Music Festival office in The Village, Building 13. The painting will be a featured auction item at the Festival’s annual fundraiser, Festival Faire, on Sunday, July 16 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall. With a campy ‘70’s theme celebrating the Festival’s 40th anniversary, Festival Faire includes an evening of dining and a lively auction with music by talented Young Artists Scholarship winners. Over 300 posters are on display at businesses in Sunriver, Bend, Sisters and Redmond. Like most artists, Engel explored numerous subjects when she and her husband Keith moved to Sunriver in 1991. Before moving to the area, for 18 years she taught plein air painting, a practice of painting and drawing while in the field. It was an art form made famous by the French Impressionists. Engel has done plein air painting all over the Willamette Valley and Oregon. “My husband Keith has always been encouraging and patient on our trips,” says Sharon. “I’ve been sunburned, bug bit, scraped up from hiking back country, deserts and canyons. On ships, bicycles, trains and wild taxi rides. Where I go, my paint box goes too. I am fascinated by constant discovery when I go out in the field to paint. The light and, Sunriver Music Festival of course, 2017 Poster Outlets colors are never the same.” Eastlake Framing To get c o m p l e te Sunriver Chamber of Commerce information on the 40th Bend Picture Framing Anniversar y season, to Sage Custom Framing & Gallery purchase tickets or learn more Flowers at Sunriver Village about Festival Bits & Pieces Faire, www. sunrivermusic. org, 541-593Sunriver Music Festival posters are available for 1084 or tickets@ $12.

Alleda Real Estate 25 NW Minnesota Ave, Suite 1. www.alledarealestate.com Featuring Jerry Dame, fine artist. www.jerrydame.com Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin St. Abstractions featuring Joellyn Loehr, oil paintings, and Holly Rodes Smithey, metal sculpture. Loehr earned a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland and soon appeared in numerous group shows including North Bank Artists’ Gallery in Vancouver, Washington ( Judy Cooke, juror); Expressions West 2003 & 2006, Coos Art Museum (First Place Purchase Award, Ed Musante, juror) and Paris-Gibson Square Museum of Art, Great Falls, Montana, among others. Solo exhibitions include A Poetics of Place — Rotunda Gallery, COCC, Bend and Furlong Suite — Arts and Culture Council, City of Marquette, Maine. The artist writes, “Each of us has a unique way of experiencing the world as it presents itself. Mine comes from studying structures ranging from geology to butterfly wings, and then translating Cascade II by Joellyn Loehr them into the languages of art and paint.” Loehr describes her creative process as spontaneous, yet analytical, and also mysterious - she knows not where it will lead. She builds layers upon layers with oil paint, glazes, and stains, then scrapes back into the strata to reveal the painting’s past. The process, exposing previously painted layers, much as reflection on one’s past, reveals myriad ways to experience the beauty and mystery surrounding us, lending “A Sense of the World.” Rodes Smithey, as a teenager, found inspiration in natural surroundings during a six week backpacking trip to the Northwest. Moving west from Ohio, she attended Colorado College and began creating with wood, fiber, printmaking and mixed media. In 2005, she began metal work in an on-going collaboration with her husband, Rand Smithey. Recently, however, she began a solo focus on 2-D abstract metal landscapes. Her background in landscape design Twilight Landscape 3, by influences the work, reflecting attention to the natural Holly Rodes
world in her creations. The artist forges, fabricates and layers steel, copper and bronze to interpret her ideas. Heat and flame transform the solidity of cold, raw steel into malleable, expressive forms. She then applies unique patinas that permeate and etch the metal surfaces to evoke natural landscape patterns —the hard but durable metals yield to their origins from the earth. Thus, Holly Rodes Smithey’s early inspiration from nature becomes manifest as art. During First Friday, Noi Thai serves wine and appetizers and the Tommy Leroy Trio performs jazz. Billye Turner, art consultant (billyeturner@bendnet.com), organizes exhibitions for Franklin Crossing.

Local artist Abney Wallace shares his nature-based series of reptile species, including nine snakes, nine lizards and one turtle, all native to Central Oregon. Side Blotched Lizard Wallace began this series in 2015 when he started by Abney Wallace making prints of snake species of the high desert. Over time, his series expanded to include all 19 reptiles native to our region. The artist hand-carves these images in wood, and handprints them on fine Japanese paper. Printed in black and white, Wallace’s snakes and lizards have a wonderful play of line and pattern. Wallace started this reptile series to inform his fantastical art. By studying the scales, patterns and physical traits of different reptile species, “I was building my visual repertoire,” he explains. Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty 821 NW Wall St. 541-383-7600, www.cascadesothebysrealty.com Vivian Olsen and Barbara Slater, both artists belong to the High Desert Art League, and will be showing us their Edibles and Incredibles exhibit.

The artist will attend the champagne opening on First Friday, 5:30–8pm. Alexander made Bend her home in 1971 and quickly gained admiration for her new high desert environment. The desert became her place of both solace and inspiration, of freedom in its openness and Bike Trails in the Desert quietude. The current exhibition at the Oxford reflects by Marlene Alexander that affection for the barren backroads, ancient lava flows and smells of sage and bitterbrush. The past 40 years spent hiking the desert of Central Oregon are central to her life and her art. She painted there during her radiation treatments for breast cancer, deeming it, “the most healing place I know.” The artist speaks from more than her personal experience of cancer when she talks of healing. For many years prior to her illness, she volunteered as the arts coordinator at St. Charles Hospital knowing the power of the arts in healing. She worked with cancer patients, spouses and their children to provide a healing outlet for expression. In 2012 Marlene Moore Alexander founded the Arts in Care Program and the Arts in Care Gallery at Partners in Care, (hospice), Bend, Oregon. Thus in her life, arts, health and care for others are a constant. The lobby exhibition is open during all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule with info at 503780-2828, billyeturner@bendnet.com. Purple Shadows by Marlene Alexander

In her work, whether it is painting on paper, canvas or silk, her goal is to Oregon Vineyard by Sue Gomen-Honnell let the magic happen on the surface as the wet colors mix and blend with little help from the brush. Sue Gomen-Honnell feels that being surrounded by the beauty of Central Oregon, combined with her love of nature are her strongest motivations to paint. She enjoys the process of watching a scene that has inspired her come to life on a plain piece of watercolor paper. “It is my hope that those that view my paintings will experience the same emotional inspiration as I do in painting them.” Jacqueline Newbold gets her inspiration from her travels and her primary passion is watercolor. She occasionally experiments with mixed media and her colorful palette is a visual delight. Will Nash has a passion for wood. His works weigh heavily on local hardwoods, specifically maple, myrtlewood and claro walnut. He prefers the wood be Poppies in the Field by Jacqueline air dried for a decade to ensure Newbold the stability of each creation.

Sage Custom Framing and Gallery 834 NW Brooks Street, 541-382-5884 www.sageframing-gallery.com
Features some of the latest works by Bend artist, Lee August. Adopting the attitude that “It’s all practice,” has allowed August the freedom to explore. She starts a challenging painting, attempting new skills and concepts. She desires to move more toward abstraction and simplification, seeing how much she can communicate with the fewest brushstrokes. With experience in many artistic mediums, currently acrylics offer her the most freedom to explore owing to their versatility. August started drawing as a child, learning Landscape Sage by Lee August shape, action and perspective by copying from comic books. Later , when she wanted a horse but her family could not provide one, she drew them instead. Studying art throughout her schooling, as happens with many, she pursued a career in another field until retirement when she now has time to develop her art.

RESORT LODGE BETTY GRAY GALLERY Summer In The High Desert
JM Brodrick, Marylea Harris, Karen Ruane
T
he Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents another in its quarterly series with the Summer Quarter Art Exhibition opening June 7. The exhibit, Summer in the High Desert, with JM Brodrick, Mary Lea Harris and Karen Ruane continues through September 6. Brodrick’s many juried exhibitions and awards evidence her expertise: American Woman Painters Juried Exhibition, Bennington, Vermont, 2016; Best of America, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, 2016; Artists to Watch, Southwest Art Magazine, September 2015; finalist, portraits/figures. Her art also appears in numerous collections including Atlantic Richfield Corporation, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington D.C. and the State of Alaska. While the artist’s paintings range from the beauty of old growth forests to portraits, recently another of her favored subjects, horses, received acclaim in the May 2017 issue of American Art Collector. Her acrylic on linen painting, Sky, appeared in their Collector’s Focus, Art of the Horse article entitled Graceful Movements. Quoted in the article, Brodrick states, “Choosing your art should be similar to how you choose your music: an escape from reality for the moment, leaving you feeling better for having experienced it.” Harris, with over 15 years in arts education, has degrees in studio art and art history from Sweet Briar College with emphasis in painting and printmaking. She holds an Masters of Fine Art in painting from Virginia Commonwealth University as was honored as a Harry D. Forsyth Fellow at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. 26 June 2017 | www.CascadeAE.com
Harris’ contemporary abstract work features brightly colored backgrounds created by Sunset Beauty by JM Brodrick layering paint and scraping it away with plastic gift cards. Thus, these cards function not only for scraping paint but as a reminder of our consumer-driven society, quick to replace nature with man-made materials. Her continuing focus, Map Series, also mindfully explores our relationships between physical place, connection, belonging and our collective personal journeys. Another award-winning artist, Ruane graduated magna cum laude from art school at the University of Arizona. Continuing to demonstrate her considerable talent, 1859 Oregon magazine recognized her as Artist in Residence in their May/June 2017 issue. Coincidently, she won the Jubleale packaging commission in 2016. Ruane cites nature, color and form as her constant inspirations. Fascinated with the marriage between the manipulation of the medium and the “happy accidents” of chance, she works predominantly with fluid media: marbling, fluid acrylics and ink. Her Sunriver exhibition pieces evolved using alcohol inks on various substrates. As alcohol inks are very fluid and unpredictable, colors blend in unexpected ways and the artist allows the medium to flow in its self-chosen path.
Though brushes, heat gun and breath help to harness the flow of the ink, much is left to fate. The results are half crafted, half arbitrary and all unique and ethereal. Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition, open all hours, which continues through September 6. Billye Turner organizes the Sunriver Resort Lodge art series with info at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com

Becky Wanless is the new mixed media artist. Becky is practically a native of Bend, moving here in 1980. In the early 1990s, Becky attended a week-long workshop with with a Florida experimental artist, Maxine Masterfield, who introduced her to dyeing paper with acrylic inks. Since that time, Becky has created her own specialty papers. She employs her own techniques and materials to hand dyed, pattern and texture papers which then become her paper paintings. “My work is a reflection of what intrigues me…..color, pattern, shape and texture found in nature and quilt blocks,” she explains. Becky’s work has a beautiful contemporary and unique look. Dottie Moniz creates mixed media art with acrylics and watercolors and papers. Dottie’s Cascade Falls is the result of experimenting with acrylics on canvas. The piece was painted intuitively from memories of various waterfalls she has seen on her hikes. The texture is created using various gel mediums and a pallet knife rather than a brush. Dottie said, “I enjoyed the unplanned and unexpected outcome of creating this piece from memory.” The gallery glass artist, Marily Badger has a passion and her passion is glass. Her' newest pieces are cut from flat sheets of hand-rolled glass specially made for fusing. My Garden, by Becky Wanless
Tack Fuse is her favorite style by far because it allows Marily to create
dimensional pieces with layers and jewels and other embellishments that add uniqueness to the process. Marily’s art is truly colored by one really important fact of life. She is a fifth-generation Hawaiian who details the beauty of Hawaii in each of her pieces. Mary Wonser is a weaver who has perfected her art. She is exploring Ripsmatta which is a Swedish technique from the 1800s. This basically means that the design and color is focused on the warp or horizontal lines and is characterized by ribs as the weave technique is usually used for rugs, runners, placemats and wall hangings. Presently, Mary is weaving table runners in strong colors with black borders to highlight the patterns.
Cascades waterfall, by Dottie Moniz
In the gallery, you can see a great selection of Mary’s weavings such as shawls, runners, wall hangings and her felted pots which she has named Wool Pottery. Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Village Building 19 541 593 4382 www.artistsgallerysunriver.com Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | June 2017

19 Tapestry Masterpieces, Exhibition in Sisters
Outline Jewel by Lucy Begay
N
atural solitude, big sky country, a lifetime spent more outdoors than indoors and the calming sense that living remote and being self-reliant brings—these are things few of us deeply know and understand today. There are places unburdened by towns, unbound by paved roads, where the greatest influence remains the weather and seasons. The Oregon Outback, rural Alaska, and vast areas of the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona and New Mexico allow time and space to stretch out far and wide. In this setting, where a few hardy
folks still live, a person has the opportunity to put an unheard of amount of attention, detail, and care into meaningful endeavors. Lucy and Ellen Begay, mother & daughter and members of the Navajo Tribe, lived beyond the trappings of Western Civilization. A narrow trail from their very modest home eventually led to a rugged dirt road, which finally arrived at a smoother dirt road, which terminated at a gravel road, which none-too-soon came to a two lane, paved road with no shoulders. Here, they wove a legacy—19 sumptuous rugs—on a traditional handloom that required 20 years. These weavings consumed all their ‘productive focus’ and when they had finished in 2008— amongst the red mesas, wild horses, juniper trees, and sacred winter ceremonies lasting nine days—they had created stunning contemporary works of weaving art. Other Navajo rugs over the last 100 years are as beautiful, some are as finely woven, but none have combined these qualities while also being fully innovative in their design. Names have been created for each rug’s pattern, something unheard of in the tradition of Navajo weaving. Lucy’s in her late 70’s now, her hands are not as steady, and she can’t sit at the loom for long periods anymore. Ellen passed away a few years ago, after years of chronic health issues. The ancient landscape of their home remains the same, however; its timelessness of colors, textures and
SISTERS shapes captured in these rugs. Their creation was commissioned and financed by legendary Navajo rug trader Steve Gertzwiller, beginning in the late 80’s. As each was completed, Gary Beaudoin purchased them. The rugs will be exhibited, eight at a time, at Raven Makes Gallery in Sisters, Oregon, from June 23 to July 10. A presentation about the rugs will occur on Saturday, June 24, 2:00 pm, at the gallery. 182 E Hood Avenue, Sisters Hours: 10-5pm Thursday-Saturday Sunday 11-4 pm, Monday 11-4pm 541-719-1182 www.ravenmakesgallery.com

ee Barker will share an array of amazing metal, wood and found object sculptures. While tapping into the spirit of using what’s nearby, Lee puts together components that had a prior life, seeking to honor those creators on the way to realizing something new, engagingly greater than the sum of the parts. Lee’s inspiration comes from his lifelong fascination with things This Should Help by Lee Barker that go. Some of his pieces imply motion while others feature moving parts. Sometimes the elements have a commonality in shape, or base metal or proportion. Sometimes their intricate designs nudge him to a creeping elegance; other times their muscular functionality dominates the process and the endgame.
Dory Hethcote has created beautiful acrylic paintings which are evocative of her history and feelings about the geology of the Oregon seaside, high desert and other geological wonders of the West. Dory describes painting as “an amazing threshold, which allows her to Yachats Seascape by Dory Hethcote travel and explore her conscious and unconscious thoughts and memories as a visual story for her audience to consider.” www.deschuteslibrary.org

You’ll Take a Cotton to
Sisters’ Cottonwood Café
by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop
G
oing out to breakfast is a Central Oregon pastime. For that matter, so is going out to lunch. So as sad as I was to hear that Sisters’ wonderful fine dining establishment, Jen’s Garden, had closed, I was darn happy to hear that it had morphed into the Cottonwood Café. I was even happier to discover that the Cottonwood delivers the same quality level for breakfast and lunch that its predecessor was known for. After ordering a grapefruit mimosa and a Bloody Mary, my friends and I settled into the menus only to discover that since it was after 11am we could order either breakfast or lunch. Unable to decide, we agreed to try both. I’m an Eggs Benedict aficionado. The Cottonwood’s are made with ham and prosciutto instead of Canadian bacon and a parmesan and herb biscuit instead of an English muffin. And yes, the bennies were as good as they sound, with lovely lemony hollandaise and crispy chunks of otherwise creamy potatoes rounding out the plate. The special of the day was a scramble with velvety goat cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes, ribbons of basil and Carlton Farms bacon. A perfect blend. I particularly liked the fact that the eggs had not been cooked to death. The Huevos Motuleños are like over-the-top huevos rancheros, with fried eggs perched on corn tortillas and black beans, with peas, ham, smoky chipotle salsa, cotija cheese and cilantro. The crunch of the fried tortillas provided the perfect contrast to the soft beans and egg.
lean (!) pastrami is house-smoked. (The Cottonwood does all its own smoking, from the pork shoulder in the pulled pork dishes to the smoked salmon in the Open-Faced Ocean Melt.) But back to the Reuben, which one of my friends dubbed as the best she’d had outside of New York. While the pastrami, thankfully, isn’t as fatty or layered as high as what you’d find in a Manhattan deli, the sandwich is remarkable, in part because of the Emmentaler cheese and the toasted dark rye. The accompanying fries tossed in truffle oil, garlic and herbs didn’t hurt either. We lightened up, sort of, with a BLT salad. Think mixed greens, avocado, tomato and tons of crispy bacon in a light vinaigrette. I wished the brioche croutons had been crispier, but with all that bacon I didn’t really care. We ended the meal with crapes filled with apples sautéed in sugar, cinnamon and brandy, topped with whipped cream and served with a side of maple syrup. I have to admit that the bread pudding with lemon curd cream was calling my name, but I pretended not to hear. There’s always next time. Cottonwood Café 403 East Hood Avenue, Sisters 541-549-2699 cottonwoodinsisters.com Owners: TR & Jennifer McCrystal Hours: Seven days a week 8am–3pm (breakfast all day)
We would revisit breakfast in the form of dessert at the end of the meal, but first we had to move on to lunch. We decided to split a cup of the daily soup since it sounded too good to pass up. Excellent move! The velouté of crimini, oyster and beech mushrooms in vegetable stock with a hint of halfand-half and a topper of cold-press, extra virgin olive oil was earthy and downright lovely. Since co-owner Jennifer McCrystal told us we couldn’t miss Brad’s Smokin’ Reuben, we shared that next. Perhaps the best decision of the day.

Broadway in Concert: Guys & Dolls
New York’s Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game Comes to Bend
T
he inaugural Broadway in Concert production goes all in June 2-4 at the Tower Theatre with innovative scenery, local musicians and unique staging to capture the high stakes atmosphere of the landmark musical-comedy Guys and Dolls. The original, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, opened in 1950, quickly garnering public attention and critical praise, culminating in a Tony Award for Best Musical. Writer Damon Runyon’s colorful Prohibition-era gangsters, Brooklyn gamblers and saucy Hotbox Girls of the 1920s share the stage with an orchestra performing the hits A Bushel and a Peck, Luck Be A Lady and the rousing showstopper Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat. Produced by Thoroughly M o d e r n Productions’
Founder and Artistic Director David DaCosta with musical direction by Scott Michaelsen and choreography by Michelle Lowry-Mejaski, Guys and Dolls is the first installment of the Tower’s new, annual Broadway in Concert series. Shows in future summers will include Evita, Titanic and The Music Man. “The in-concert version is a creative staging of this musical in a way most audiences have not seen before,” says DaCosta. “We include all the characters, all the scenes, all the dialogue and all the musicians. The full orchestra shares the stage with the performers. Then we add multimedia and animated projections to enhance the show in ways we could never accomplish even if we attempted a full production on the relatively-small Tower stage. The result is an innovative, live, theatrical presentation of one of Broadway’s biggest musicals.” Note: Thoroughly Modern Productions, in partnership with The Tower Theatre Foundation and Mt. Bachelor Senior Living, announced the Sunday, June 4 matinee will be specially presented and designed to create a failurefree environment for seniors, particularly those with cognitive and physical impairment. A variety of local community organizations will assist with transportation, parking, staffing and sensory accommodation.

Look for 4 Peaks Music Festival at New Site
T
he 4 Peaks Music Festival announced a new venue for its tenth Anniversary.

The 100+ acre site maintains the same Cascade Mountain views and mellow vibe as the previous location, but with an expanded Kids Area, more space for camping and additional RV parking spots. In addition, 4 Peaks has some tricks up its sleeve for the 2017 festival. “We feel very lucky to secure Stevenson Ranch for the 2017 festival,” says Festival Director Stacy Totland. “There have been many things we have wanted to incorporate into the festival that we just haven’t had the space in the past. 2017 will be our best festival yet.” Thursday’s lineup is highlighted by Company Grand. Railroad Earth headlines Friday, with Infamous Stringdusters and a late night set by Poor Man’s Whiskey. Saturday will see moe. (a jam band) headlining, while rock band Watkins Glen highlights Sunday’s schedule. 4 Peaks is committed to providing an intimate, family-friendly festival, but on a larger scale. Patrons should expect grander views, bigger grassy fields, a larger

THE TRANSFORMING POWER OF DANCE by JOY VICTOR of Victor School of Performing Arts
H
ow many miles of tulle does it take to make 32 tutus? It was in the costume fabrication warehouse hired by American Ballet Theatre in the garment district of Manhattan that my appreciation for the genius of dressing the best dancers in the world exploded. It was the preparation for the 1980 premiere of the ballet La Bayadere, the first time the full production was performed outside the Soviet Union. The New York public mobbed its gala performance at Lincoln Center with sold out status. Natalia Makarova, who pulled off a spectacular defection from the Kirov Ballet in Russia and whose exotic glamour captivated the world, Madison Ferrell in Raymonda solo set that production on us dancers of the company from her steel-trap memory of performing the three hour ballet in a Soviet society closed off to the world. Watching the seamstresses bending over their work on many rows of long canvas wrapped tables made me feel I was in an haute couture house in Paris. Many new costumes were tailored on each one of us, our names inscribed in the lining, with the precision of the highest knowledge for fit and design. The final touch on the costume-set for eighty dancers, worth tens of thousands of dollars, was the tedious application of tiny seed and bugle beads which caught the light like real jewels. This is part of the set of memories I brought to Bend when I opened Victor School of Performing Arts. The experience dancing among the elect of America’s official ballet company set the standard of perfection that has driven me in my teaching, choreography and performance creation through the years. I’ve seen young lives profoundly changed from the inside out starting with the rudimentary ABC’s of ballet technique theory, to blossoming artists well aware of their powers of expression, inspiration and physical prowess. The greatest thrill is to see confidence shine out in a flash discovery, a clearing of past insecurities like a muddied window suddenly clean. This is a development I have seen in my dedicated dancers this past year, as if mountain climbers suddenly stepped above the tree line, above the clouds to take in unexpected vistas. It is the paramount experience of any ballet teacher, to see the effect of the purity of raw dance instilled into the very soul of the student.
MUSIC & FESTIVALS
Ballet has its own special verve to connect the dancer deeply with the whole history of the most beautiful sounds geniuses of the last three centuries of musical composition could conceive. No one can touch this powerhouse of human creativity and come away unchanged when they have internalized every nuance of each note, each half-count expressed through movement. There’s a chunk of ancient wisdom preserved in the Bible’s Ecclesiastes, verse 9:10: Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might. This has been a motto that has inspired me from childhood and it matches the iconic statement of Yoda from the first Star Wars movie: Do. Or Do Not. There Is No Try. Success in professional dance requires this bedrock foundation of gritty focus. It’s a lesson we all need. When my students have faced a hurdle of difficulty in new steps they are scared of, I hear so often: I can’t. But it happens again and again that not only is the statement proven untrue, but wondrously false. It is one shining facet of the life-lessons ballet dancers in training learn. Our spring performances here in Bend have always included international dances. It used to be in recent years that there was a fascination for lessons in international dance. It was a trend for people to join in large community classes to dance the Israeli Hora, Greek, Russian, Irish and various national expressions of movement. Sadly, this interest has waned. What better way to understand a culture than to see what they find are the most glorious postures to express happiness? It’s fascinating that the identity of every nationality takes its form in an iconic dance style. Hopefully these world treasures will be preserved for future generations. Our spring performance this year includes a Tarentella from Italy, Flamenco from Spain, a Geisha dance of Japan and a Mongolian dance ( as in Atila the Hun ). For a dancer to take on the character of the flow of these movement styles is an education on its own, an enlightening experience. The discipline of moving the body according to rules laid down by our artistic ancestors (for ballet dancers it is the French Court of the 1700s and for folk dancers it is the national identity of ancientethnic traditions, opens up a portal not just in the body but the soul, for a wider aperture of spiritual and secular vision.

New Perspective for June by Eileen Lock
ooperative agreements are made on the 1st and this helps you find peace with the past. A change of directions over the next few days reflects the changes that are happening inside of you. Opportunities on the 3rd introduce new relationships into the picture. Conversations are easy near the 5th and you realize that healing is happening and it’s time for a new approach. The heart seeks stability after the 6th and you could find yourself asking for the necessary changes in order to find this. Be gentle and consistent with yourself as you explore new ways of doing things. The Full Moon on the 9th asks for you to take a leap of faith in regards to your future. Conversations near the 13th are supportive and invite you to take a chance. Take on a project of some type from the 15th to the 18th and use it to understand some other part of your life. Talk to yourself on the 20th and be your best cheerleader. A supportive inner dialogue will be helpful in order to 38 June 2017 | www.CascadeAE.com
understand what you need to do next. The New Moon on the 23rd is reminiscent and emotional. Let yourself be nurtured during this time and appreciate the transformation that is happening within yourself. Let your intuition guide you on the 25th and trust your heart. Your actions will speak volumes on the 28th and it will be important to spend the next few days simply listening and realizing what has occurred. Come to terms with everything that has brought you to here and be grateful for what is coming.
