Arts Summit Takeaway: Matter by Mattering

uring the first regional Arts Summit, a collaboration with the Oregon Arts Commission and the Arts & Culture Alliance, a prominent national arts leader and advocate, Doug Borwick, provided the keynote address with an important theme: community engagement is key to the survival of the arts. Citing a precarious public trust in arts organizations across the country, he noted that Central Oregon is already ahead of the curve since we had voted in a very unique piece of legislation last year that created a public fund for cultural tourism. This, however, would not be enough to keep the public trust alive, arts organizations must matter by mattering, or in other words, need to be in service to the community. “Communities are not resources to be exploited. It is from the community that the arts develop and thrive,” Browick explained. “For the survival of arts organizations they must be valuable contributors to the community…especially for those who don’t think the arts apply to them.” Borwick suggested to start by asking yourself, your board or your employees: How are the lives of the people in your community made better by the work that you do? Working towards a service-oriented approach can help organizations learn how to interact with the community by first understanding how they interact with your art/ event/organization. One example of how an organization can change their thinking about engagement is to avoid the term outreach. “It is well-intentioned, but it has the effect of placing the “outreacher” in the center,” Borwick said. “There is an implicit assumption, though usually not intended, that those that are out need to come in. It can have the effect of placing extra distance between the arts organization and its community.” The take-away was clear: for the health and sustainability of the arts in a community, you must be a valuable contributor to that community. You matter by mattering.

Second Sunday: Lois Leveen & Juliet’s Nurse Photos courtesy of DPL

“W

hy is riffing on—and ripping off—Shakespeare so incredibly enticing?” Author Lois Leveen posed this very question, and it’s one she asked herself while writing her own Shakespearean riff, the novel Juliet’s Nurse. In the book, Leveen imagines the 14 years leading up to the events in Romeo and Juliet as told by the woman who was both insider and outsider among the wealthy families of Verona. “I realized I hadn’t actually read the play since high school,” says Leveen. “I pulled my copy off the shelf, devoured it in a single sitting, and happily discovered the nurse was every bit as ribald, comic and tragic a character as any novelist could hope for.” Leveen is no stranger to historical fiction. Her last book, The Secrets of Mary Bowser, was based on the true story of a freed African American slave who returned to Virginia at the onset of the Civil War to spy on the Confederates.“I write historical fiction because I love learning about the past, and I want to share what I learn with readers—in the form of a great story filled with compelling characters,” says Leveen. She adds, “I love doing the historical research. I’m fascinated about how people lived in different times, what their experiences were like.” The story for her most recent book came to Leveen by accident. She was struggling with another novel that wasn’t coming together when the title Juliet’s Nursemade its way into her head. That set her to studying Romeo and Juliet. “In the nurse’s first scene we hear this amazing backstory: she had a daughter who was born the same day as Juliet but died. What was it like to lose one child and then immediately take comfort in caring for another?” says Leveen. Asking, and answering, that question served as the inspiration for her intriguing journey into this parallel history of Romeo and Juliet. Leveen is a novelist, poet, educator and historian. She earned degrees in history and

literature from Harvard, the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in numerous literary and scholarly journals, such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, Bitch magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and on NPR. Leveen gives talks about writing and history at universities, museums and libraries around the United States. Sunday, November 9, 2pm.

CIA Secrets: How History Was Altered

n a world filled with wire tapping scandals, drone controversy and Edward Snowden, it’s only natural to what wonder what else has been hidden from us.

Bend Author Steven Berg offers his spin on the government’s involvement in historic events with his new novel, Errand Runner. The book is the tale of a young CIA recruit’s journey across the world as he fulfills contract obligations that change the course of history. Throughout the novel, Berg intertwines famous historical conflicts such as terroristic events in Turkey and the 1972 Munich Olympic Massacre, which he witnessed firsthand.

Steven Berg

“Experiencing the Olympic massacre in Munich affected me greatly,” Berg said. “It was a worthwhile but psychologically jarring experience translating these events and emotions into print.”

Berg was born in North Dakota, grew up in Port Angeles, Washington, and eventually moved to Eugene, Oregon. Now retired from a lengthy career as a builder and health coach, Steve and his wife Jenny live in Bend with their dog Rocky and cat, Jay-J. This is his first novel. www.CascadeAE.com| November 2014

Literary Word Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon

uthor and The Brew Site creator Jon Abernathy traces Bend and Central Oregon’s hoppy history from early settlement to the present day, sharing the stories behind its most famous breweries and the communities that have fostered the industry. With more breweries per capita than any other Oregon city, Bend is a beer mecca. Prior to Prohibition, the state had a burgeoning brewing industry and plenty of saloons to cater to the needs of the hardy frontiersmen who settled Central Oregon. The teetotaling ’20s brought all that to a screeching halt. Fifty years later, the arrival of pioneers like Deschutes Brewery and Bend Brewing Company breathed new life into Bend’s beer and brought about the booming industry for which the area is known today. Bend Book Launch Events Silver Moon Brewing - November 6, 5-8pm 24 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend Deschutes Brewery - November 7, 6:30pm 901 SW Simpson Ave., Bend Rat Hole Brew Pub - November 29, 7pm 84 SW Upper Terrace Dr. #108, Bend Broken Top Bottle Shop - December 11, 7pm 1740 NW Pence Ln. #1, Bend Abernathy has been blogging about craft beer for more than a decade and drinking and homebrewing it for far longer. Having grown up in Central Oregon, he went to school in Spokane, Washington, graduating from Eastern Washington University with a bachelors degree in French and ultimately began working in the computer industry as a web developer after returning to Bend. Blogging was a natural outlet for a web developer with a love of writing (and beer) and in 2004 Jon launched The Brew Site, a blog dedicated to all things beer and brewing. The blog has gone on to become the longest-running American beer blog and has documented the change and rapid growth that has characterized the Bend and Central Oregon brewing scene. www.thebrewsite.com, www.bendbeerhistory.com Download the CascadeAE App | November 2014

BEAT is fortunate to have Emilee Lathrop choose to direct The Hobbit (adapted for the stage by Patricia Gray). When asked why people should come see the play, Lathrop replied, “Because it’s a classic story for all ages. Full of adventure and excitement. Tolkien was a mastermind and to see his words acted out by our younger generation not only encourages reading of the classics but also the understanding of adventure.” The Hobbit cast includes 24 local actors, ages eight through 15.

pair of wearable art.” Tres Outlaws Boots start at about $500 and have gone as high as $50,000. The ultra expensive boots include details like exotic leathers, 18 karat gold and precious stones. A simple pair of Tres Outlaws Boots has 210 steps and takes 40 hours to make. The company makes about 10 pairs a week and depending on difficulty customers can expect to wait anywhere from four weeks to a year to get a pair made. Emmerich says, “I am very detail oriented. There are no short cuts when you’re getting the best of the best. My customers know the cost and wait are worth it.” So when asked in our recent phone interview why people should come see his boots when he visits Bend, Emmerich again says with a long laugh, “All you need to bring are your ideas and your feet. I’ve designed 40,000 boots over the last 32 years and my favorite ones are the ones still in my head.” Scott Emmerich of Tres Outlaws Boot Company will be at Desperado Boutique in the Old Mill District on Saturday, November 8 from 12-8pm. 330 SW Powerhouse Dr., Ste. 120, Bend. 541-749-9980, www.desperadowesternwear.com

cott Emmerich has spent his adult life keeping alive the age-old tradition of custom handmade boot making. It’s almost a lost art and one only a handful of boot craftsmen worldwide today. “I have in-house, six of the best master boot makers in the world and four who are older and pickup work and take it home,” Emmerich says with a chuckle. Emmerich then sighs and adds, “My master boot makers range in age from 57 to 86. When we’re gone, we’re gone. There’s no boot makers like us anymore.” Emmerich owns and operates The Tres Outlaws Boot Company in El Paso, Texas. From tanning their own leather to the finishing polish, Emmerich and his team create custom western boots that are not only molded to fit a customer’s foot perfectly, but every stitch and detail are meticulously and completely done by hand. Emmerich proudly says, “I like the artistic side of me that can create boots that have never been done before. You have to engineer them because my boots are art that can also be worn.” This fall, Central Oregonians will get a rare treat and opportunity to meet Emmerich and see some of Tres Outlaws’ prize boots at a special one-day event on Saturday, November 8 at Desperado Boutique in the Old Mill District. Joanne Sunnarborg has been a fan of Emmerich and his boots since she opened her store 18 years ago. “I have a collection of Tres Outlaws Boots and just when I tell myself I have enough, we do a show and I discover a pair I just have to add to my collection,” says Sunnarborg. As proprietor of Desperado Boutique, Sunnarborg says,“Bringing Emmerich to the store gives people a chance to learn about boot making and the opportunity to create their own

ritten for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant success when published in 1937. When it was first published in the United States, the American Library Association’s reviewer said, “At this time of writing, still under the spell of the story, I cannot bend my mind to ask myself whether our American children will like it. My impulse is to say if they don’t, so much the worse for them . . . The story is full of authentic bits of mythology and magic and the book has a rare quality of style. It is written with a quiet humor and the logical detail in which children take delight . . . All those, young or old, who love a finely imagined story, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.” Bilbo Baggins was a very well-to-do hobbit. The Bagginses have lived in the neighborhood of The Hill for time out of mind and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say to any question without the bother of asking him. Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure.

A Balanced Life the Key to Kimry Jelen’s Imaginative & Vibrant Work by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

imry Jelen’s brush strokes are a journey, not a destination. Her paintings express a love of working with horses, and are made all the richer for the individual connection she has with each animal. She is a firm believer that the balance between her work training horses and her career as a painter is essential to her happiness and productivity. The deep hues and rich colors of her pallet create intimate portraits of the majestic animals, all inspired by the astonishing array of colors she finds in the mountains outside her Sisters studio. “The wilderness is where I find my inspiration and get grounded when I ride horses or even hike; nature is better at complementary colors than I will ever be,” Jelen explained. “I study lichen and moss and think it’s amazing how many lessons nature gives us as far as color studies, I may not paint that lichen on that rock, but I’ll go home and have those colors in my mind and combine that in my paintings.” Jelen’s path to becoming a successful painter began with a nurturing and artistic family, however because art was seen more as a hobby than a profession, she was encouraged to choose a more “career” track in college. “The closest thing I could find was fashion design,” she explained, “so I found ways to do art like painting colorways (color palettes in the fashion industry), but then the computer took over and the creative process wasn’t there like before. Even sketching the clothing was all computer generated. I was in for 12 years, and then I decided to move to Montana to be a cowgirl and get in touch with the outdoors.” She has always been drawn to horses and explains getting her first horse at 16 was a pivotal moment. “Art and horses were my loves growing up,” she said. The two passions finally came together in Montana. I Communication

started painting for fun again, started to get back to my roots,” Jelen stated. While she was learning the horse trade, she became more and more confident in her paintings, creating a powerful combination that stands in her life today. A move back to Portland for family reasons prompted her to tap into the numerous opportunities to take art classes. “I was self taught until that time, and I thought I should learn how to use the mediums,” she explained. “I took weekend workshops, and during a figure drawing class one afternoon when we were drawing a women who was on her side, [I thought] her hip, waist and shoulder looked like a horse; the outline looked like the back of a horse, so I started drawing a horse instead of the model. After that I started painting horses, it just kind of happened. “I felt like it fell into place, I couldn’t stop, I just wanted to keep painting horses,” Jelen said. After that time she began showing at the First Thursday art walk in Portland, and that opened doors to other shows. Jelen moved to the high desert about 10 years ago to train horses and continue painting, mostly for fun. “I had several trainer jobs and did the art on the side, then I started doing freelance training and it became more half and half,” she said. The perfect balance in Jelen’s life consists of time spent training, which feeds into her artwork, and concurrently her artwork nurtures the time spent training horses. “I can’t have one without the other. I don’t think the paintings would be as inspired,” she said. This year she was the only American artist invited to the World Equestrian Games in France. Athletes from 60 nations competed for medals in jumping, dressage, para-equestrian dressage, driving, endurance, reining and vaulting, and Jelen displayed her artwork during the duration of the event. “The European

artists’ art contained more earth tones, and that made my wall just pop out. People would step back when they looked at my artwork compared to everything else, and it made me realize in some ways my paintings feel more like sculpture with color. I’ll get a lot of texture because there are many layers of different colors. I’ll start with a color like orange, and then work in blue, and keep painting in complementary colors back and forth,” she explained.

the wall of a gallery, giving the work a “test run.” In the future Jelen would like to use her artwork to broach the subject of animal habitats. “When you open up access to the environment, people start noticing when it’s gone. I think it would be nice to somehow incorporate that idea with migration of wildlife to make a difference in the world with my art. “I want to further people’s awareness of nature so it doesn’t vanish; it is so important because nature inspires me and keeps me going. I need to be able to ride in the mountains and not trespass [on private property] or have to obey all sorts of rules. I want to keep it wild. “You have to be pretty brave to be an artist…There has to be some sort of grounding joy that you can bring into your life regardless of what is going on. That is a really huge obstacle sometimes, it comes and goes, it ebbs and flows, and you always have to be thinking about having an idea about the next show or what you will do next. It helps to keep creating artwork regardless of what is going on. You have to keep creating no matter what.” www.kimryjelen.com, kimry@kimryjelen.com

“Colors are really appealing to me, they make me happy and I love the interaction between them. It’s so amazing to see what spontaneously happens; a lot is experimentation and the inspiration happens while I’m painting.” When Jelen begins a new painting, the white canvas has to go. “I might start by copying a painting I like from one of the impressionists or expressionists…but I need to paint a bit to get into the groove, just to get painting and seeing again. Quite often there are three or four paintings under each of my finished works,” she explained. What brings her work to life though, are her interactions with the horses themselves. “If I have an experience with a horse (their character or antics or a feeling from working them), I’ll try and hang onto that feeling and meditate on that while I’m painting,” Jelen explained. “I really try and bring that personal experience [to the canvas], and it will come out in the painting. Those are the ones that people are most attracted to.” When asked if a painting is ever finished, she definitively answered yes. “At some point when I add any more it starts detracting from the painting instead of adding.” Jelen explained she will let a painting sit in the studio for a week or so and in that time if something catches her eye, she may go back to the canvas and work on a problem area, but the process helps her to see it as it would be on

the Three Sisters mountains. “A natural stone with the image of the Three Sisters etched in it grabbed me instantly,” explains Stoller. “It looks like the view out my studio window. It is as if Nature did an original sketch that formed in the crust of the earth. And then she followed up with a full scale rendition in our Central Oregon backyard, 8,812 miles from the geological origin of the tiger iron. Polishing the Three Sisters in Stone by Lawrence Stoller stone and making a bronze base created an image that will hopefully endure (at least) another 3,000 million years.” Stoller is an internationally recognized, award-winning artist who has pioneered the art of sculpting spectacular Megagems, including several of the largest gemstone sculptures in existence. His work has been featured in numerous shows and galleries in the United States, from Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles to Fifth Avenue in New York, the Furstman Institute of Mineralogy (Moscow, Russia), the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art (Elhurst, Illinois), the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Stoller completed a commission for American Express, creating the centerpiece of the 9/11 Eleven Tears Memorial, located across the street from Ground Zero. His collaborative work Bahia stands as the cornerstone of the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. An avid horseman and endurance athlete, Lawrence Stoller and his wife Sunni live, work and teach in the shadows of the spectacular Three Sisters Mountains in Bend, Oregon. www.crystalworks.com

Art in the High Desert Celebrates a Successful Art Show Looks Forward to 2015

beautiful sunny weekend in August brought thousands of visitors to the Old Mill District to visit Art in the High Desert (AHD) this year. One of the premier fine art shows in the country, AHD annually brings over 100 professional artists from around North America to the grassy banks of the Deschutes River. Art in the High Desert is increasingly being recognized for the economic impact the event brings to Central Oregon. “Art in the High Desert brings in a truly wonderful cross section of visitor and local art lover. Of all the events that we host on property, their impact on our retailers and restaurants falls into the top five,” said Old Mill District Marketing Director Noelle Fredland. The show plays an important roll in the increasingly diversified economy of high desert; cultural tourism is gaining steam, especially in relation to the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund that voters passed in 2013.

www.CascadeAE.com| November 2014

A survey of the 2014 AHD attendees indicated over 30 percent of the visitors were from outside Central Oregon and 10 percent out of state, and over 70 percent purchased or were planning to purchase art; a percentage that spanned every age-group. For artists interested in applying to the juried art show in 2015, applications open in early December. AHD uses the ZAPP jury system (www. zapplication.org), and an upcoming informational session on applying to the show will be announced soon. “We want to thank all if our sponsors, volunteers and visitors for making 2014 such a successful year,” said Art in the High Desert Show Director Carla Fox. “The Old Mill District continues to be an essential partner each year, and we especially want to thank our ongoing partners and new sponsors Bend Furniture & Design and Advanced Energy.” www.artinthehighdesert.com

Alfred Dolezal: Creating a Reality

Arts

by LAUREN KERSHNER Cascade A&E Editorial Intern

lfred Dolezal has always questioned the reason for living. He says, “I was never convinced that we are just born, make a living and die...” Born in Vienna, Austria during World War II, Dolezal has found many of his answers within the stroke of a paint brush. Since buying his first set of oil paints at the age of 23, he has painted 272 works, adorning walls in 36 states and seven countries. In December 2013, Dolezal and his wife, Patti, opened an art gallery in Eagle Crest Resort near Redmond. The gallery offers an abundance of thought-provoking compositions, whose symbolism and stories are readily translated by Dolezal himself. Upon entrance, he asks visitors if they’d like the “short tour” or the “long tour,” joking that the long tour takes “about two days.” A wall to wall tapestry of color, the paintings in Dolezal’s gallery are rich with philosophical themes, stories that enthrall the mind and illusions that fool the eye. The painting entitled In Nomini Dei – in the name of God – depicts two separate cultures praising different gods, symbolized In Nomini Dei by a black bird and a white bird. Fused into the picture is a portrait of a woman – who Dolezal identifies as his wife. Her face is easy to miss upon first glance, but unmistakable when stepping backward a few feet. Her image seems to represent a unification of the masses. “Unity is a big word in this gallery,” Dolezal says.

Dolezal’s passion for oneness is exemplified in A Racial Opportunity – a spin on the King of Hearts that illustrates both a Caucasian and an African American king. The pictures rotates at the push of a button, making a full circle so that both kings get their “turn” being upright in the painting. Hiding behind the painting is a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. that is visible halfway through the picture’s rotation: “Either we learn to live together in unity as brothers, or we perish as fools apart...” Another painting featured in Dolezal’s gallery tells a lesser known tale of the infamous Titanic. On one side of the picture is the Titanic herself. On the other, is the fictional ship named the Titan, created by author Morgan Robertson in his novel Futility. In Robertson’s book, the Titan perishes in the sea on her maiden voyage after colliding with an ice berg – an eerie parallel to the Titanic’s fate 14 years later. The ships are separated by the Titanic’s Grand Staircase, with the glass dome looming overhead. Dolezal calls it The Creation of Reality. Over a span of 60 years, Dolezal’s relationship with art has answered a plethora of life’s questions, creating a reality comparable to a work of art.

Colorful Artisan Wares at Blue Burro in Sisters

by JEFF SPRY, Cascade A&E Feature Writer

cascade of colorful artisan wares greets customers to Blue Burro Imports in downtown Sisters, pouring out onto the porch and enticing patrons into the store where eclectic Central American discoveries from around the world await. Owned by intrepid traveler Amy Abramson, the kaleidoscopic array of imported clothing, arts, crafts and one-of-a-kind curios originate from the storied small towns and rural marketplaces of Guatemala and Mexico. “I go to Guatemala once a year and I’ve been going every February,” she said. “The pottery and beaded jewelry there is simply beautiful. It’s like nowhere else in Central America. I always end up going over my budget, there’s so much to see and experience. On this last trip I ended up incorporating Mexico and took a bus up to Chiapas and stayed to do some buying for a week. So from now on I’ll add Mexico as part of my buying trips. I really want to explore more of Oaxaca.” Inside, her vibrantly-colored store is filled with eye-catching wall hangings, religious candles, rainbow-striped hammocks, embroidered blouses, rope sandals, hand-painted animals, folk art masks, bracelets, hand-woven skirts and a menagerie of small wool animals from a San Juan Chamula village in Chiapas, Mexico. Whimsical skeletons representing Day of the Dead figurines grin from a front window shelf, overlooking hand-carved wood statues commonly used for religious holidays. Abramson’s path to Sisters began in Washington, then to Portland. A visit

to Sisters during the Sisters Folk Festival lured her to settle into small town life, her bedside the Three Sisters Peaks, in 2010. Blue Burro opened its doors in May 2013 and since then her customer base and inventory have grown, expanding into new and interesting territory and keeping her travel bags packed. “Originally, the attraction to Guatemala was the textiles and handicrafts you can find there. I quickly realized just how rich in culture Guatemala was, with the indigenous people and the embroidery and weaving that they do. Within that first or second day I was there I knew I had a lot to learn and saw how incredibly talented the people were.” Spending time in Blue Burro admiring the time and patience infused in every piece of merchandise is to be taught interesting fragments of the area’s rich and varied culture. “Huipils are the brightly-patterned blouses worn by the indigenous women of Guatemala,” Abramson explained, pointing to a framed photo of a gathering of village women. “Sometimes the embroidery work can take months and they’re very personal. Each village has their own particular fabric design and pattern. All my coin purses, bags and vests are made from assembled pieces of these traditional huipil garments.” The name of her unique import emporium is derived from a burro mask found on one of her treasure hunts to Central America, which hangs prominently on a wall in the store. 161 North Elm St., Unit B, www.blueburroimports.com, 425-765-6439

New Mural Project Enhances Bend’s Alley Aesthetics

Arts

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor Photo courtesy of Douglas Robertson

end’s busy downtown has a whole trove of artistic treasures off the beaten path. From the increasing number of art pieces in the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection to the new mural in the back of the D&D Bar & Grill, the alley ways are blooming with original art. After new owners took over the D&D last year and created a patio area in the alley between Bond and Wall Streets, they asked local artist Douglas Robertson to create a mural for the space. “I came up with the initial design on the smaller wall, then I continued designing the rest of it,” Robertson said. The D&D gave him free-reign in the design process and he strove to create a more cohesive and flowing space. “I’ve done large installations before, but primarily have worked in clay and tile,” he explained. “I incorporate the drawings I’ve been doing for 25 years into tile work and decided to do the same in painting as well. I’ve only been exclusively painting for about a year.” “Painting is a quicker process, a more direct transfer [than clay]…I took the drawings and made stencils, [the mural] is layers of spray paint. That is the direct transfer process of the street artist,” he said. Robertson has over 25 years of fine art production in painting, drawing and ceramics, and describes his art as a “visual expression of the intersection between my dreams and my physical experiences.” He traditionally works in clay, and his subject matter often touches on the relationship between nature, the human form and the urban environment.

Nash worked in advertising at Wieden & Kennedy, Inc. in Portland from 1995-2000 and then began pursuing lutherie and woodworking, building several guitars and mandolins as well as creative outdoor structures. “I love sculpture, I love space, expanse and balance,” explains Nash. “Early on I wanted to sculpt with stone and metal, clay and found things; but I began to see the endless possibilities of sculpting wood and its inherent beauty and became a full-blown woodworker, building creative structures,

musical instruments, architectural details, kitchen utensils, tools, cabinetry and furniture.” From 2002-04 he moved back to Central Oregon to build mandolins for Breedlove Guitar Co. while they were still in Tumalo. Acquiring his contracting license in 2004, his interests turned to building passive-solar AAC homes in and around the area while creating a workshop to pursue further the art of woodworking. In 2010, he joined the Red Chair Gallery and continued making art, musical instruments and furniture, finding clients from California to Washington. Nash is influenced greatly by the work of Sam Maloof and the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Currently Nash resides in Bend with his wife, Donna and their two children Doris and Eleanor. He recently won a furniture commission with the Unitarian Universalists Fellowship of Central Oregon to produce a variety of sculptural pieces for their new home off Skyliner Rd. in Bend’s Westside, due for completion in January, 2015. Nash is the featured artist at the Red Chair Gallery at 103 NW Oregon Ave. for November. www.nashwoodworking.com Download the CascadeAE App | November 2014

Linda Piacentini-Yaple uses calligraphic marks and textures to unite art and poetry--a combination of empty space and monochromatic strokes suggest the intangible; sometimes a color or word appears--expressive and alive.

Neely Dunlavy has merged her love of traditional mosaics with a warm glass technique using transparent glass to collect the natural light into her work. Honoring the mosaic process has resulted in the tesserae creating facets that pull any available light into the artwork. Nash was raised in Central Oregon on 40 acres in ancient Juniper forest. In 1999 he began pursuing Lutherie and woodworking, building several guitars and mandolins as well as creative outdoor Hosmerettes by Rita Neely Dunlavy structures. From 2002 to 2004 he worked for Breedlove Guitars building mandolins. In 2010 he returned full-time to making art, musical instruments and furniture.

Sage Custom Framing 834 NW Brooks St., 541-382-5884, www.sageframing-gallery.com Featured artist Pat Markle - Still Life and Portraits in Oil and Graphite. Markle has chosen to place herself within the remarkable tradition of realism in the style of the old masters. As a contemporary realist painter, Pat pursues a slow and thoughtful process of creating a painting. In using many thin layers of paint to create the subtle effects of light and space, she draws the viewer into an emotional experience of beauty and quiet stillness. Whether painting still

life or portraits, her work is influenced and grounded upon the classical ideal of harmony and balance. “I am passionate about working with the subtleties of light and shadow and the psychological nuances of composition. By patiently striving to capture the sensuous and spiritual qualities of what is before me, I hope to create a heightened sense of beauty that will nourish the eye.” Markle has recently be- Painting by Pat Markle come a Bend resident, relocating from San Francisco where she successfully exhibited in numerous group shows.

Buttes covered with tall Ponderosa pine trees and dusty cinder roads ignited years of dormant creativity. More has degrees from the Rhode Island School of Design and the Cranbrook Academy of Art and she has worked as a studio assistant to Takashi Murakami, an internationally prolific contemporary Japanese artist. More’s process of crafting a visual narrative begins with detailed written snippets and sketches taken from outdoors hikes while exploring and collecting animal bones and feathers. Tumalo Art Company 450 SW Powerhouse Dr., Ste. 407, 541-3859144, www.tumaloartco.com Alisa Huntley’s November show Portrait of a Place focuses on the Steens Wilderness Area and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, wild places that support hundred of thousands of waterfowl, songbirds and raptors during the migratory season. She pays tribute to a remarkable place through her paintings. Painting in oils on aluminum and copper, Alisa’s process is much like a watercolorist. She Tanager by Alisa Huntley applies the oil on the metal in transparent layers, and plans her composition to allow some of the aluminum or copper passages to peak through, similar to the white of a watercolor paper. As the paint flows and spreads, spontaneous drips and bleeds are interpreted into the composition. The aluminum and copper each provide a different feeling and color, but both offer an exciting, modern aesthetic and jewel-like glow.

Helen Brown & Susan Harkness Williams at Sunriver Library

wo longtime members of the Friends of the Library Art Committee in Sunriver are showing their work together over the holidays. Helen Brown’s watercolors describe land and cityscapes, while Susan Harkness-Williams’ gourds depict local wildlife. The show will run through January at the Sunriver Area Library. Brown uses a batik method on Japanese rice paper resulting in luminous washes, harmonious color schemes and interesting texture. One of the paintings in the library show (Curb Appeal pictured here) has earned national recognition and will be featured in a Northlight book called Splash 16-The Best of Watercolor. She recently garnered the Best of Show award at the Redmond Airport and teaches watercolor painting during the winter months. Helen and her husband Scott have been full-time residents of Sunriver for 24 years. She is a member of the Tumalo Art Company (a fine art gallery in Bend’s Old Mill District), the High Desert Art League and the Watercolor Society of Oregon. Harkness Williams also calls Sunriver home. She is best known as a fine gourd artist and employs her love of mixed media into each piece she creates. Her work is found in private galleries around the world and collectors call her work stunning, amazing and simply beautiful. She created the Sunriver Wildlife series specifically for the Sunriver Library show. Taken from her natural surroundings, this series uses vivid India inks, pyrography and her special whimsical style. Each bird has a personality of its own. See Susan’s work at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver in the Village at Sunriver. 56855 Venture Ln., Sunriver, 541-312-1080

In 2005 Arthur was awarded the TAMMY Award for Best Keyboardist in Tucson, Arizona and in 2014 he received the Best of the Blues Award for Best Keyboardist in Washington State.

During the last 19 years he has frequently been a part of the staff at the internationally famous Augusta Blues Week in Elkins, West Virginia and Centrum Blues Week in Port Townsend, Washington. His latest album, Laying It Down, is currently number one on the Roots Music radio chart in Washington and reached number 20 on the national Roots Music radio chart. A common response to watching Arthur perform is, “Wow, I didn’t know it was possible to play the piano like that!”

Oregon Natural Desert Association Photographers & Dave Kamperman, Photographer at Sunriver

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery joins the Traditions celebration with Photography of the High Desert Region featuring photographers representing the Oregon Natural Desert Association and Bend photographer Dave Kamperman. The exhibition opens on November 20 and participating artists will attend a public reception in their honor on Friday, November 21 from 5–6:30pm in the upper gallery. The exhibit runs through January 4, 2015. More than a decade ago, a group of self-proclaimed “desert rats” evolved the idea of a photographic collection dedicated to Oregon’s high desert. That annual collection, showcasing the high desert region’s astounding beauty, is now in its 11th year as the Oregon Natural Desert Association’s Wild Desert Calendar. The ONDA 2015 Wild Desert Calendar debuts in the up-

per gallery with approximately 20 images from this and previous years’ calendars. Available at retail outlets around the state, including Costco in Bend and Powell’s Books in Portland, the calendar features photographers including Greg Burke, Jim Davis, Tyson Fisher and Christof Teuscher. Jim Davis, one of the calendar’s originators, says he’s proud of the role it has played over the years in introducing others to the wonder of the high desert. “The calendar provides a way to show how spectacular these places really are. It’s the only collection of photography dedicated solely to the Oregon desert.” Bend photographer Dave Kamperman also shows images of the high desert in the lower gallery. His move to Bend in 1983 inspired his transition from portrait imagery to landscape. He notes

that the Northwest’s scenery, particularly that of Oregon, displays a diverse and remarkable beauty that he strives to preserve for future generations. His passion for accurate representation leads him to continue the use of large format film which he feels surpasses most digital imagery in clarity, natural color saturation and resolution. He recently added photos printed on metal to his presentation. Continuing through November 16 in the upper gallery is Abstractions, paintings in acrylic by Pam Jersey Bird of Sisters and mixed media by Justyn Livingston of Bend. The artists also draw inspiration from the beauty of the high desert but interpret that experience in non-objective imagery. Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition during Lodge hours.

Giving Thanks at Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver Village scenes. Colors are created with applied heat and texture with various polishes. Square head nails that have been bent at an angle provide a place to hang your keys. What a great gift for that special someone that is always misplacing their keys! If an activity is taking place in Central Oregon, Thomas has documented it with a piece of beautiful wall art. Biking, skiing, tennis, golf, horse back riding, canoeing and kayaking scenes abound. As if you couldn’t find the perfect piece to hang in your home, Thomas also provides custom commission pieces. Stella Rose Powell Jewelry artist Stella Rose Powell also has a way with metal. The artist takes simple materials and hammers, twists and manipulates them into delicate and beautiful pieces of art to be worn as jewelry. Although Powell works with many different metals, some of her most popular pieces are made of copper. Copper provides a neutral color base that blends well with all clothing pieces. Bracelets, ear rings and necklaces all have the artist’s signature textures and delicate use of small details. The addition of semi precious stones to some jewelry allows the metal pieces to be light and airy. Fall Aspens by Bonnie Junell

Bonnie Junell Oil and acrylic painter Bonnie Junell utilizes her painting versatility to provide collectors with works that show off the artist’s style of realistic impressionism. Her use of bold brush and knife work really lends itself to the acrylic medium where Junell amps up the color and depicts subjects that engage the viewer. With the holidays just around the corner, Junell has created an acrylic collection that is unified and is priced a bit lower than traditional oils. This collection of six paintings ranges in size from 8” square to 48” by 60”. Because acrylic paint dries much faster than oil, the artist is able to produce paintings more quickly. Junell’s popular Sip & Paint classes utilize acrylic paints in order to provide the students with a finished painting in two hours. Marjorie Cossairt Watercolor artist Marjorie Cossairt artfully utilizes her medium to produce the most delicate and ethereal representations of flora and fauna. In her piece, Poppies and Queen Ann’s Lace, Cossairt has once again captured the essence of both of these beautiful flowers. The red poppies are so delicate that the viewer can almost feel the papery texture of the translucent petals. The artist developed a new technique combining the use of acrylic paint with watercolor in order to depict the open lacy look of the Queen Ann’s Lace. Cossairt’s pieces range in size from very small to larger pieces. Many of her paintings have been printed and beautifully framed to provide fine art for a reasonable investment. 57100 Beaver Dr., 541-593-2127 or 541-5938274, www.artistsgallerysunriver.com

Welcome to The Sisters Country Bald Eagle Music Education Station

emember those quaint music shops where you could peruse guitar picks, sheet music and clarinet reeds while teachers instructed eager kids plunking on an old upright piano? Well, Bald Eagle Music Education Station in downtown Sisters is that refreshing retro throwback to independent music stores of the ‘70s and ‘80s, offering private lessons, instrument sales and an impressive array of new and used musical accessories. Owner and artistic director Rebecca French places great emphasis on innovative music instruction in a relaxed, creative environment. For weekly private instrument lessons, Bald Eagle provides classes in piano, guitar, ukulele, brass, trumpet, flute and drums, serving students of all levels and abilities, including exploration into various styles of composition and music theory at the rate of $35 per hour or $20 per half-hour. “I opened this studio back in 2010 after I’d lost my job of 20 years and basically saw the need in our town for a place where someone could come and buy guitar strings and sheet music, and because I needed a job,” French joked. “My mother had recently passed away and before she moved on she told me to open my music studio and follow my dream.” Bald Eagle is also home to TreeSpirit Instruments, selling fine-crafted, locally-made African tongue drums, cigar box electric guitars and previously-owned instruments. Expert piano tuning is another service recently offered and their free sheet music exchange includes heavy boxes of sheet music dating back to the 19th century for musicians and collectors to share, trade or locate rare and hard-to-find items. “Our exchange library of sheet music is amazing and dates all the way back to the Civil War. Everything from gospel, boogie-woogie, all genres of classic from Baroque to modern and there’s new stuff coming in all the time.” Partner Chris Patrick joined Bald Eagle Music in 2013 in the position of teacher, mentor and composer, instructing clients in flute, trumpet, guitar and bass guitar. Patrick has

performed as a professional musician for over 25 years, playing French horn in the Philharmonic Orchestra and delivering a full spectrum of tunes in popular house bands playing everything from jazz, gospel, classical and old time country. His latest passion has been learning to handle the Highland Bagpipes. “This is such an incredible music community with a strong musical base,” he said. “Right now we have a vision for a brass choir with the core of it being an adult brass quintet. I’m very excited to have Trevor Craynor, the new school band instructor, in town. He plays tuba and is very enthusiastic in including students for this new community brass choir. Auditions will be later this month so check our site CONTINUED on Pg 42 and Nugget News for dates.”

Cultural Advocacy Coalition

Joy • Creativity • Community • Essential • Affirming • Education by Christine Drazan, Executive Director Cultural Advocacy Coalition

hese are a few of the words used to describe the role of arts and culture in the lives of participants, at a recent Oregon Cultural Advocacy Coalition's (CAC) gathering. One word was notably absent from the list: Luxury. This didn't surprise me and it probably doesn't surprise you. It was an arts and culture event. We were there to have a conversation about the state's role in advancing and protecting Oregon's cultural life. Of course no one would see arts, heritage or the humanities as a luxury. Instead it was essential. But, as we near the end of the year, I have begun to wonder: are arts and culture essential--but advocacy is the luxury? When I talk about advocacy I mean something very specific: active communication with policymakers to raise awareness of the value of arts and culture; and lobbying to protect culture in Oregon, which includes support for needed changes in statute and funding for arts and culture through state budgets. This is the advocacy that the Cultural Advocacy Coalition exists to provide to the cultural sector. We are entirely member funded, which means that we do this work through the generous support of Oregonians and organizations who see advocacy as essential. This year that list is fewer than 100 organizations and individuals. To each of them, we say thank you for your support and active participation. To those who are not current members: will you join us today? The state spends .088 percent of its state budget on arts, heritage and humanities. Put another way, this is $1.75 per Oregonian. Compare this to other major categories of spending in Oregon: $6,580 per person for health care and $9,682 per student for a K-12 education and you get a clearer sense of how modest the state's investment in arts and culture is. State spending is an expression of our values and priorities, just like it is in our families and organizations. And, these numbers show that we have work to do. Shifting state spending to invest more in arts and culture takes persistence and yes, financial support. CAC's individual members are a thoughtful band of do-gooders who help fund the ongoing role of the Cultural Advocacy Coalition in Salem to advocate for arts and culture. Our organizational members are visionary champions of greater progress, in an arena where there is substantial opportunity for growth. If you are not a current member, will you join them? Will you step up and help with an individual donation of $50, $75 or $100? It will take a much larger coalition of individual and organizational members sounding the alarm and calling for change to make progress--it always does. We have an opportunity to move forward, but we will move forward more slowly if those who believe arts and culture are vital to our lives personally, and collectively, wait for someone else to help. Don't wait for your own advocacy understudy to step in, and take the role that should be yours. Advocacy is not a luxury. If you believe progress is possible and that arts and culture are essential to that progress, please join us today. Christine.Drazan@OregonCulture.org, www.oregonculture.org

CENTRAL OR O T Y A W EGO E T A N G gs - Redmond - Prinev n i r p S m r ille Wa s La Pi a r d a ne M Snowflake Boutique

hat began as a few friends selling their crafts from their home 39 years ago (1975) has evolved into a major Central Oregon event looked forward to by thousands of people. This year for its 39th anniversary, the Snowflake Boutique is looking to be as big as ever. The event is set for November 7-8 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center in Redmond in the North Sister building. The show is open from 1-8pm on Friday, November 7 and 9am-4pm on Saturday, November 8. The Snowflake Boutique is unique in many ways. It is a club, not a business. Club members donate their time to organize, set up and run this arts and crafts show. Consigners are juried to assure that their handcrafted items are of the highest quality and are not duplicates of another consigner’s craft. Don’t mistake a boutique for a bazaar. The Snowflake Boutique differs from a bazaar in that items are intermingled for maximum ambience rather than segregated in booths. Common themes include fishing, sports, floral arrangements, tree decorations, autumn, holiday, kitchen, garden, western and every-

thing in between. You can expect to find wood carvings, bird houses, quilts, furniture, clothing and accessories for kids and adults, doll clothes, metal work, ceramics, soaps, candles, jewelry, one-of-a-kind decorations and lots of Santas, snowmen and angels. The nonprofit organization that presents the Snowflake Boutique each year donates the post-expense proceeds to the Family Access Network (FAN) in Redmond. FAN is a collaborative network of agencies and school districts that provide services to children and families in need of basic resources, such as food, shelter, education and clothing. Snowflake always welcomes new crafters. There are several open juries during the year, beginning in May. Check www.snowflakeboutique.org for the details and dates. Admission is $3 and door prize opportunities abound for a chance to win hand made treasures donated by Snowflake members and local crafters as well as gift certificates generously donated by local restaurants and businesses.

hen Latigo Restaurant first opened its doors to Sisters customers in June, many skeptical observers wondered if a new fine dining establishment could thrive in a seasonal, fastfood oriented tourist town.

The Wagyu Beef dish was sliced thin and amazingly tender with a refreshing coffee-tinged crust that complimented the melt-in-your mouth consistency of this Australian-bred delicacy. Both entrées were served with a sufficient supply of creamy mashed potatoes and recurring baskets of home-baked herb rolls and whipped butter. Portions were generous and artfully arranged on the plate without a hint of pretension. Our wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and was of a high degree of personality and professionalism. All entrees are matched with a suggested wine from an impressive selection of state-wide and regional vineyards. The highlight to the end of the meal was a perfectly baked Warm Chocolate Soufflé ($9), made daily from scratch, accompanied with vanilla heavy cream to drizzle over the fragrant dessert. We both admired its simple perfection and overwhelming explosion of chocolate decadence. Satiated and serene, we both concluded this had been a truly memorable meal and agreed Latigo’s upscale western fare was a deserving addition to anyone’s fine dining destinations in Central Oregon. “This is really our first chance to prove ourselves as a seasonal restaurant,” said Christman. “As we move deeper into the cooler months we’ll be transitioning over here in the kitchen, changing over the fruits and vegetables and accompaniments to showcase the abundance of fall. We’ll be offering things like our roast quail with cornbread chorizo stuffing on our new autumn menu and things will carry a true holiday feel.”

ortland’s renowned dance troupe brings its breathtaking production Reverie to Bend on Thursday, November 13 at 7:30pm. Led by Emmywinning choreographers Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland, BodyVox combines dance, theater and film into an inventive creation rich in imagery, athleticism and humor. With seven dancers, Roland considers Reverie both complex and refreshingly simple. “The show is inspired by the impressionist era and builds from an overriding belief in the power of beauty.” Hampton observed that “A program with beauty as its central theme is a powerful statement: art must prevail; humanity must prevail; culture, knowledge and freedom of expression must prevail. We named the program ‘Reverie because beauty can sweep us up and carry us away.” Bend Surgery Center is the title sponsor of the CenterStage Series. Showcase sponsor is Mt. View Heating, with supporting sponsors Deschutes Brewery and Central Oregon Radiology. Show night sponsor is Drake Restaurant. The performance sponsor, and underwriter of a special educational matinee, is the Sue and Mike Hollern Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation.

CASA provides a voice for children in foster care, and for this special concert, local talent lend their voices to the cause, performing uplifting songs from contemporary Broadway shows including The Lion King, Spamalot, Sister Act, Rent and more. “This show is essentially about love and hope,” says show director David DaCosta. “The journey of life is hard enough, but kids in the foster care system often have to travel that path alone--without family, without support.” As a foster dad himself, DaCosta has seen firsthand how much foster children need someone supporting them through the journey, helping them

find their way to a forever home. While CASAs can’t actually defy gravity, they can be instrumental in helping the more than 300 foster kids in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties--preventing them from falling through the cracks in an overburdened system.

French attended the University of Oregon School of Music from 1977 to 1980 with a focus on piano performance, music education for handicapped children and music theory. She’s taught privately to more than 200 students for over 30 years with positions at the Cascade Community School of Music in Bend and the Sisters Parks and Recreation District as the music educator for pre-school kids and 7-12 age groups. In 2008 she became music educator for Camp Sherman’s Black Butte School District where she shared her vivacious love of music and energetic personality. Another innovative program is tailored to parents and their children for kids aged two-five and may be available individually or as a group. Activities include dancing, drumming, engaged listening, singing and simple piano studies. Group guitar lessons are led by Chris Patrick at the cost of $20 per hour. “Music as a meditation device and healing factor with its vibrational elements is so important, but those are just the intangible benefits,” said Patrick. “The real goal is the total mastery of an instrument and the enjoyment of the performance. It’s the reason we do music education.” Every year, students of Bald Eagle Music deliver a holiday recital, spring concert and several in-house musical events to spotlight their blooming talents and newlylearned abilities. They also participate in seasonal community events in Sisters such as the Sisters Act Talent Show, My Own Two Hands Parade, the Sisters Holiday Parade and Sisters Rodeo Parade. “I’ve worked with so many children and the one constant is seeing the kids blossom with the joy of music,” said French.“Teachers are noticing improved behavior, attendance and higher academic scores after just a few months of lessons with us. We’re all about reaching for the sky and finding the stars.” 382 E. Hood Ave., Ste. #C East, Sisters, www.baldeaglemusic.com, 541-410-9064

Bend Cultural Tourism Fund Application Available Now

he Bend Cultural Tourism Commission has launched its online grant application for Cultural Tourism grants. There is an option to provide an “intent to apply” form by January 15, 2015 with full applications due March 31, 2015. Guidelines and instructions for both are available at http://visitbend.culturegrants.org. The Commission anticipates making awards in late spring, with over $125,000 available to support activities occurring after July 1, 2015. The Bend Cultural Tourism Fund (BCTF) is a grant program dedicated to enhancing the local economy through the promotion and cultivation of Bend’s cultural tourism programs. The intent is to help attract cultural tourists during the shoulder seasons and winter months, when cultural tourism organizations are most active. Doug La Placa of Visit Bend reminds applicants that the grant funds can be used for any program that fits within the state’s legal definition of “tourism promotion.” “I challenge all arts organizations to become experts on this definition, to be creative in interpreting the definition, and to push the envelope on what kind of proposals can fit within the definition,” said LaPlaca. “Everything is in place, including the money. Now the BCTF just needs quality grant applications to get the dollars flowing to the arts world.” Some key points of the state’s definition of Transient Lodging Taxes explain tourism as an economic activity resulting from tourists and tourism promotion means any of the following activities: (a) Advertising, publicizing or distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; (b) Conducting strategic planning and research necessary to stimulate future tourism development; (c) Operating tourism promotion agencies; and (d) Marketing special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. http://visitbend.culturegrants.org

New Perspective for November by Eileen Lock Integration, harmony and co-operation are all very available this month, especially the first few days. Open your heart to relationships on the 3rd and let yourself move towards what feels right. It’s time to discover how you have been affected by the recent changes. Be honest with yourself on the 5th and let healing happen. The Full Moon on the 6th is about appreciating your relationships. Let go of your fear and begin taking significant steps in the direction you want to go. Conversations become more emotional after the 8th and you could feel like there is a lot to process, so keep your heart as open as possible. Actions are impacting on the 10th and could start something that ripples over the next 2 days. Listen to what is being said and realize how much support you have. Conversations on the 16th are helpful and you could feel more trusting, even though everything could be intensifying. Trust your decisions on the 18th and realize you have given permission for your life to change. The New Moon on the 22nd is all about looking forward and being optimistic. Be grateful for as much as possible at this time. Big decisions on the 25th could involve leaving the past behind. By the 27th it is very clear that you are on to the next part of your life. Take time over the last few days to listen more than talk, there is plenty of insight available. Realize some restrictions have been dissolved and you may have more freedom to move about. Go ahead and dream about where you want to go. Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock Clairvoyant Astrologer, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com
