World-Class Roots Music Folk & Americana Musicians Entertain in Sisters he Sisters Folk Festival (SFF) runs September 7-9. Performers represent an ever-widening sample of Americana and Folk music.

Organizers came back strong after last year’s cancellation due to smoke from nearby fires. Creative Director Brad Tisdel and the SFF Talent Committee invited all the 2017 performers to come back. 75 percent were confirmed. “To deliver a world-class experience, we filled the rest of the lineup with dynamic artists and performers,” said Tisdel.

The Festival doesn’t just attract local and world-wide audiences, it’s also highly sought-after by touring professionals. The experience shared by musicians and students at the Americana Song Academy, held at the spectacular Caldera campus is well known. Festival staff and volunteers make sure that artists are treated with respect, understanding and great food during their stay in Sisters.

The Sisters Folk Festival has become an important stop for touring musicians who want to establish an audience base in the Pacific Northwest.

Artists understand the unique quality the Festival provides, but it’s an ongoing process to educate people on the elasticity of the term “Folk.” Once thought of as, “Your parents’ Peter, Paul & Mary,” attendees are spreading

the word that American Roots music encompasses a vast territory of talent.

Artists take traditional Americana instruments like banjos, guitars, mandolins and Dobro’s and breathe new life into them.

Genres like Indie Folk, Alt-Country and cross-genre musical explorations like Hip-Hop Bluegrass all blow the socks off of the old definition. “Americana is many strands of American folk music coming together in contemporary ways,” explained Tisdel.

2018 performers offer powerful, passionate voices that tackle tough social issues and celebrate the joys found in sharing music with an appreciative crowd.

Please join us and meet the artists, sip some wine and enjoy the Ryan Camastral Trio.

In his search to conjure up on canvas the American West during the 1850’s to the turn of the century, John DeMott does more than work from models.

He stands in the path of stampeding buffalo, participates in 1880-style shootouts and spends time on Civil War battlefields.

Mick Doellinger grew up in Australia surrounded by a vast primitive landscape and abundant wildlife. In the 1970’s he came to California, met a couple of taxidermists and became fascinated with the craft. In his practice as a taxidermist, his goal was to create the most lifelike forms possible. This background aided him in his future as a renowned sculptor.

In Laura Jo Sherman’s work, a passion for life long learning is evident.

Approaching each new painting as a challenge, and favoring expressive techniques in her pastel paintings, she may use mixed media, unusual color combinations and varying textures.

Jane Tolve, also preferring to use pastels, as her medium of choice, takes an intuitive approach to her paintings.

Starting with an idea, she lets her imagination taker her where it may, experimenting with bold color combinations and injecting energy and movement, often with a touch of whimsy.

The paintings emphasize her affinity for natural light as it transforms color, shape, texture and mood in wild environments.

Autumn Rhodes by Annie Ferder Water is also a strong theme in her work. “It calls to me from the deepest places of my being,” she says. “Whether it’s a puddle, a pond, a roaring creek or a vast expanse of open ocean, water tugs and teases me to capture it along with all its habitats and creatures.”

A newcomer to Bend, Vertefeuille-Cutler says she’s been fortunate in getting to study and experience nature in many wild places: “From the gentle hills of New England to the boreal forests of northern Minnesota to rugged mountain life in Colorado and now the high desert of central Oregon and Pacific Northwest coast and rain forests, I am constantly inspired to bring these special lands into my work.”

Jean lives in Bend and is available for interviews and additional information as needed.

Yup’ik Eskimo Artist Visiting Sisters for Weekend Show

A

bronze sculpture depicts a Yup’ik Eskimo performing an ancient dance and transforming into a walrus mid-sway. A ceramic mask of a sea otter on its back reveals it stomach to be a human’s face, ready to devour a small fish. These images are both powerful and ethereal in announcing the Yup’ik Peoples world, consciousness, and metaphysical connections. In order to create the works, Terresa White must flow into the mystical realms of her grandmother, her grandmother’s grandmother, and their handed down oral stories of the subarctic world. Imbued with this ancestral awareness, she shares these perspectives about the distant lands in contemporary art forms.

Maker Raven: Pushing Back the Mask

by Terresa White Terresa grew up in Rainier, Oregon, 2000 miles away and a full generation removed from her family’s remote homelands in Western Central Alaska. Her HIGH DESERT ART LEAGUE grandmother Clara and great aunts were forcibly taken from their home in AN ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS remote Alaska for the purpose of educating them in Western World schooling s o as to ‘civilize them.’ Clara, living in Fairbanks, Alaska with a young daughter who would become Terresa’s mother, married a man of German descent; the family resettled in Oregon. Clara’s sisters followed.

Though fluent in their own language, they formed a community within a community and, in the English language, taught their children the Yup’ik perspectives, culture, and values, while never identifying that the family’s norms, organization, and virtues were derived from a completely different environment 6 SW Bond St. & and culture. Terresa became a tribally enrolled member of the Yup’ik People, “Luscious” by 450 Powerhouse Suite 400 Karen Maier and her traditional tattoos—three lines from the lower lip to chin— express A Sustainable Cup - Drink it up! that identity and heritage. www.highdesertartleague.com www.strictlyorganic.com Terresa’s account of her identity and artistic beginnings coming together— "I experienced Eskimo dancing for the first time in a field in rural Oregon with my granny, aunties, mom and cousin. We’d been invited by an acquaintance from the Northwest Inupiaq Dancers to attend their gathering. The drums, songs, and dances lit a circle in the grass around our gathering. They cleared a path to my heart’s home! We danced the closing song with the group—it was my first time dancing, and my thousandth time, I knew it by heart and found myself dancing with my eyes lowered and my vision soaring. I left the gathering inspired to dance and compelled to create."

"For years my hands had been itching to make and they saw a path in the traditional, carved wood masks worn by the dancers that day in the field. I joined the dance group after that, found my way to other Alaska Native friends in the Portland and Seattle areas, and soon sculpted my first mask from clay. It was a self-portrait mask, white-faced and wrinkle-eyed, its berry-stained mouth grinning wide."

"The transformation masks that followed were born of Yup’ik and other Eskimo stories. They express my understanding of the personhood and interrelationship of all human and non-human beings. Walrus Dance Transformation, my first bronze sculpture, had its inspiration in the powerful masked Walrus Dance I saw performed that day in rural Oregon."

On August 17 , Terresa received First Place for Class (Bronzes) and First Place for Division (sculptures) for the work Sedna at the premier Native American art show The Santa Fe Indian Market, held the third weekend of each August. For the next year at least, Terresa now enjoys status as one of the elite Native American artists.

Terresa will be offering an in person show in Sisters September 7-9, with an artist reception on Friday from 4 to 7pm. All events will take place at Raven Makes Gallery on Hood Avenue.

The Baristas of Bend

F

ARTS ranklin Crossing features Ian Factor’s paintings, The Baristas of Bend, August 30 to September 30. The artist will attend the public opening on September 7 from 5-8pm.

On Friday, September 14 from 4-7pm, Factor presents a live, portrait painting demonstration in the Franklin Crossing Atrium. He will discuss his process, materials, the current exhibition and take questions from the audience. The public event is complimentary.

In The Baristas of Bend, the artist presents recent oil paintings celebrating individuals who the artist identifies as some of the “unsung heroes of today’s social structure.”

He notes, “For many, the first person seen during the day is the barista …their positive attitude and friendly conversation, accompanying that early morning energy cup, is integral to many people’s daily ritual.” The exhibition’s theme speaks to the artist’s experience—devoting breaks in studying or teaching to sitting in coffee shops and cafes, sketching.

Phoebe at Bluebird

Factor’s advanced art education led to New York and an MFA in painting, drawing and sculpture from the New York Academy of Art graduating in 2014, magna cum laude. Syracuse University, New York, granted his BFA, awarded cum laude in 1991.

Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild

O

n a chilly April evening in 1998, seven bench jewelers met over pizza and beer at Stuft Pizza on Third Street in Bend to discuss what was to become the Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild (COMAG).

What started 20 years ago as an association of a handful of goldsmiths, both self-employed and working at various jewelry stores in Bend and Sisters. Early on, the group grew as the first blacksmiths, steel fabricators and even a bronze caster started to show up. Now it has grown into a group of creative metal artisans working in a variety of metal disciplines throughout Central Oregon.

Today, membership hovers around 60 members, with jewelers making up about half of that number. Meetings happen the first Tuesday of each month, with the location moving from one studio/workshop to another as different members host. Meetings usually consist of regular business that keeps the guild running, a demonstration sharing the expertise of artist with each other and plenty of quality social time.

Of the original seven members, four are still active in the group, have served as president at one time or another and are still working full-time in their craft. The first president, Steven Douglas and his wife Elyse, own The Sunstone Store in downtown Bend. John Paul runs John Paul Designs, also in downtown Bend. MaryJo Weiss is Josepha Weiss Designs at Torch Jewelry Collective and James Dixon is the lead goldsmith at Saxons. Also among

Since it’s second year, COMAG has sponsored a members show, the first one being held at John Paul Designs with members having one piece that was a collaboration with another member. The shows evolved to where each member had their own display at Art Central’s Mirror Pond Gallery. In between it grew to a show of each exhibitor having their own booth. First downstairs in the Oxford Hotel next to 10 Below and now at the old Liberty building on Wall Street known as At Liberty.

In the early years, the show had a collaboration theme, and to participate, any member had to collaborate with another on at least one project. This is no longer a requirement, but the shows always dazzle with an impressive array of local talent.

This year show is October 5 and 6 open Friday for Art Walk 1-9pm and Saturday 10am-6pm. The show has expanded diversity to include many local jewelers, four local sculptors, three blacksmiths, two stone and gem collectors and a custom knife maker. All those attending can sign up for a drawing of two $100 gift certificates given the end of each day for towards an artist of your choice. Hope to see you there.

Caldera Announces 2019 Artists in Residence

ARTS

C

aldera announces 23 artists who have been selected for residencies in winter 2019. These artists will spend up to a month at the Caldera Arts Center near Sisters.

“Caldera is honored to announce three dynamic and diverse groups of Artists in Residence who will be creating, living, presenting and teaching this winter at our Arts Center,” said executive director Brian Detman.

Every winter, Caldera welcomes artists from around the country accepted to the AiR Program for month-long stays at the Arts Center. Residencies are awarded based on a competitive application process open to artists from all disciplines. For many artists, residencies are a vital part of the artistic process, giving them time and space to focus, untethered by daily distractions, in a community of artists who can enhance reflection and energize new work in unexpected ways, while surrounded by a different landscape than their home environments. In 2019, residents will create new works in theatre, sculpture, nonfiction, dance, poetry, film and many other genres. While in residence, these artists will also offer workshop to students in Caldera’s Youth Program as well as to the public. More information on public workshops will be available in November.

Doors to the Arts Center will open to the public for Caldera’s Artists in Residence Open Studios on January 26, February 23 and March 23 from 12:30-3:30pm. Artists in Residence, as well as Caldera students, share their work with the public through presentations and performances.

Caldera is a catalyst for the transformation of underserved youth through innovative, year-round art and environmental programs. Caldera serves Oregon youth from both urban and rural communities with limited access to educational and economic resource opportunities. Our programs nurture individual creativity to ignite selfexpression and transform the way young people engage in their lives, families and communities. In 2015, Caldera received a National Arts and Humanities Youth WHAT’S FOR SALE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD? Program Award from First Lady Michelle Obama, recognizing Caldera as one of the top youth arts programs in the nation.

My Magic Kingdom

For the Love of Photography

D

orothy Eberhardt has always loved to create. This love has led her to a lifetime of investigating different mediums and varied aspects of the art world.

Dorothy began as an art teacher and then transitioned into a 35 year career of creating and selling fine crafts at art shows from Oregon to Florida.

Copper enameling was her first medium. When her husband left the ski industry to join the business, her medium became enamel and wood. After her husband passed away, Dorothy again changed her medium, this time to photography. Her love of photography started when her father (an avid photographer) gave her a Brownie camera at the age of ten.

Living in beautiful Central Oregon since 1972, Dorothy’s love of nature grew and her photography changed to become landscape photography.

Her goal is to create fine art photographs that capture the magic of a particular place in its best form. Dorothy’s degree in art education and the many years of creating artwork, allow her to achieve that goal. Design elements like value, shape, color, line, form, texture, pattern and light are used to create a painting as well as a magical fine art photograph. The challenge of how you find and capture the magic is the story behind every photo. Just being out in nature is the bonus that Dorothy says feeds her soul. She may not come back with a printable photo, but she always has a good time.

One of the joys of photography for Dorothy is that it allows her to share the many magical moments that she has experienced in nature with everyone who sees her photos.

Dorothy Eberhardt has been a member of the Red Chair Art Gallery for eight years. She will be the featured artist for September.

At Liberty Continues Exhibition The Hidden Hypotenuse Recent works by Christian Brown

A

t Liberty, a year-round dedicated arts space and cultural hub in Downtown Bend, is pleased to announce up coming events related to their exhibition: The Hidden Hypotenuse recent works by Christian Brown. The exhibition will be open for September’s First Friday Art Hop on September 7 at 5:30pm and will host an Artist Talk with Christian on Thursday, September 13 at 6pm.

At Liberty is honored to be exhibiting the largest show of Christian Brown’s work in Oregon.

The Hidden Hypotenuse will feature over thirty of his new pieces including drawings, sculpture and mixed media work. Christian’s artwork is intricate and compelling, Art in America described him as having created “a distinct visual language as captivating as it is cryptic.”

With works inspired by myth, book making, and artifact, The Hidden Hypotenuse examines themes of perception, choice, and utility while considering that the most direct path is often the one hidden to us.

Christian Brown received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 1994 and worked as an artist in New York City for most of the last two decades. Christian now makes his home in Bend where he and his wife Cari Brown currently operate The Workhouse, an artists collective. Christian’s work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Portland and Bend. He has illustrated for newspapers, magazines and album covers as well as writing and illustrating two books, one of which has won several design awards.

“Christian Brown’s art is always engaging and thought-provoking. To look at his work is to discover different worlds and meanings layered within” says Jenny Green, a partner At Liberty.

The Hidden Hypotenuse will be on display through September 29. True to its mission the space will continue to provide a home to three creative nonprofits (Arts & Culture Alliance of Central Oregon, ScaleHouse and World Muse) as well as be available as an event venue.

At Liberty, located in Bend’s historic Liberty Theater provides an inspiring and dynamic space for the exploration of arts and culture, through exhibitions, collaborations and events. At Liberty Arts Collaborative is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am-6pm or by appointment.

BAC Sparks Interest in Woodcut Printing

with Workshops & Big Ink Exhibit

O

Print from Big Ink II exhibit, courtesy of BAC

ne of the oldest forms of printmaking is generating new interest, thanks to the unusual Big Ink II exhibit at Bend Art Center (BAC). September’s Big Ink II exhibit offers a fresh take on woodcut printing, a process that was first developed in 13th century China and later refined by Japanese artists in the 18th and 19th centuries.

While most artists create woodcuts on a smaller scale, artists of the Big Ink II exhibit were challenged to make woodcut prints larger than 24x36. Printed in black and white, the resulting images range from highly graphic to dark and moody. Created by 15 artists from across the

country—and printed at Whit Print Studio in Eugene— the works in Big Ink II have a wide stylistic range and show off the flexibility of woodcut.

For visitors who are inspired to learn the process, Bend Art Center is offering fall workshops in woodcut printing and linocut printing (a close cousin). Taught by local artists, workshops range from beginner-level “intro” classes to advanced classes in color relief printing.

Workshops take place in A6 Print Studio at Bend Art Center.

Find workshop information online at bendartcenter.org or call 541-330-8759.

Diane Ottenfeld, Owner & Operator

Quilts by Diane, photos courtesy of Memories to Quilts

Preserving the Past: Memories to Quilts

by JULIE E. FURNAS AE Feature Writer

W

hat once started out as a necessity for bed coverings and evolved into a true art form, the process of quilting continues to see new techniques, use of fabric and creative designs. Diane Ottenfeld, owner and operator of Memories to Quilts has thrusted the art to another level by taking old t-shirts and preserving them into one of a kind show pieces. “Quilting has a long history of using scraps leftover from making clothing. When quilts were made of scrap fabrics — it became a history of the clothing itself. I’m working in the opposite way by taking people’s old clothes and preserving the history of the person who wore them,” says Ottenfeld.

A Born Quilter Coming from a long line of sewers in her family, her mother, grandmother and great aunt all taught Ottenfeld a lot of the skills she uses today.

After high school, she left for college in Santa Barbara with a tent and a sewing machine where she studied photography and graphic arts. After moving to Sisters, Ottenfeld quickly learned that

18

September 2018 | www.CascadeAE.com

quilting was a part of the Central Oregon culture.

She has been in the area for over 30 years. “I had been given a Folkwear pattern for a Turkish coat and it called for quilting. I decided before I make the coat I should try quilting something [else] first and I fell in love with it,” says Ottenfeld.

During the recession in 2008, she took on a second job at Quilt Works in Bend where she would stay for the next five years. During her time there, people would come in and ask for ‘odd ball’ things to be sewn. Never one to pass up an opportunity, she became the person who would repair quilts, finish existing projects and make new quilts out of people’s old t-shirts — the three elements that grew her business into what it is today.

Repair and Restore When a quilting piece comes in for repair, Ottenfeld takes several things into consideration and after asking the customer several questions, she determines how long the project will take, what type of fabric she’ll use and how much care is needed, as most of what she does is done

by hand. When t-shirts come in for a quilt project, the ten step process, is mathematical and intentional. “For my customers I have developed my own way of laying out each quilt, so it becomes a unique, one of a kind, memory [piece]. I use my background in graphic design to create a mosaic layout that keeps the eye moving from block to block,” says Ottenfeld. “My goal is to keep each row the same width and each “block” cut to the size that works best with the graphic on the shirt,” she adds. Each piece is truly exclusive, as the t-shirts all range in size, color and graphics.

Ottenfeld’s past work can be found in the gallery section of her website alongside details of her t-shirt to quilt process. Ottenfeld has a true passion to create and loves living in a place where the sense of community is strong. You can see her around the area regularly involved with the Sisters Quilt Show, a repeat blood donor to the Red Cross and volunteering for several local events. memoriestoquilts.com

Art at the Oxford

ARTS

T

he Oxford Hotel presents Joanne Donaca’s oil paintings of Oregon landscapes from August 31-October 26. Donaca will attend the Oxford First Friday champagne reception on September 7 from 5:30-7:30pm.

A Bend artist and northeastern Oregon native, Donaca derives inspiration from the striking beauty of Central Oregon and other nature scenes. In her current exhibit, she presents Steelhead Falls near Tumalo, Old Mill District Sunflowers, plush vineyard scenes from the Willamette Valley, and Avalanche Lake from travels to Glacier National Park.

In seeking to “generate a strong emotional response” from viewers, the artist uses a boldly enhanced, yet realistic palette, chosen to powerfully depict light/shadow contrast These landscapes feature accentuated, gestural strokes as well as softer, more integrated brushwork. Her noted impressionistic style shifts slightly toward a more expressionistic Avalanche Lake by Joanne Donaca style in varied compositions and she also employs palette knife to create strong, textural variations.

Donaca is recognized in the Northwest through her signature membership in the Watercolor Society of America, the Pastel Society of America, the Northwest, and of Oregon, as well as her membership in the Oil Painters of America. An award winner in several mediums, her paintings appear in numerous corporate and private collections including Pronghorn’s Golf Resort and Sunriver Resort where she was previously honored as the poster artist for the Sunriver Music Festival.

Head and the Heart, Blind Pilot End LSA Season with a Bang Outdoor amphitheater hosted a record 17 shows in 2018

B

ack together after a prolonged layoff, Head and the Heart concludes the 2018 Les Schwab Amphitheater summer concert series on September 19 with special guests Blind Pilot.

In 2014, exhausted after four years of non-stop touring, the six members of the Head And The Heart pointed their individual compasses to new cities, new relationships and new adventures.

After an extended break, the band regrouped during the summer of 2016 in Stinson Beach, California, to start writing together again.

“It almost felt like we were a new band, trying Photo courtesy of LSA things we hadn’t tried,” bassist Chris Zasche recalls. “We stayed at a bungalow on the beach. We’d wake up, have coffee and go boogie boarding. We were ready and excited to be back together.”

That renewed sense of purpose can be felt throughout Signs Of Light, the group’s first release for Warner Bros. Records.

Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Cage The Elephant), Signs Of Light crackles with the upbeat, sing-a-long energy of the Head And The Heart’s finest work.

Throughout, the colors are brighter, the electric guitars are louder and the musical touchstones more universal. The propulsive, smile-inducing ode to Los Angeles City Of Angels and the head-nodding Rhythm & Blues nod to classic Fleetwood Mac, while the organ-flecked Dreamer is a timeless-sounding ballad that could have been beamed straight out of an old jukebox.

Sold Out Crowds at Sunriver Music Festival’s 41st Season Celebrating Bernstein

MUSIC

T

he musical heritage of the great Leonard Bernstein and inspired programming by Festival artistic director George Hanson, a protégé of Bernstein, proved a winning combination for the Sunriver Music Festival’s 41st season last month in Bend and Sunriver.

“Bernstein’s accomplishments and legacy resonated more than ever,” states Pam Beezley, Festival executive director. “Full houses at seven performances in Bend and Sunriver were the norm thanks to the enjoyable programs created by Maestro Hanson and our guest musicians from prestigious orchestras throughout the United States.”

Artistic Director Hanson, who returned for his seventh season, filled each concert with personal reflections of his seven years working with and for the most influential American musician of all time. “It was wonderful sharing my love of Bernstein with festival audiences,” adds Hanson. “Bernstein broke down the barriers between jazz, Broadway, popular music and the classical realm. He, along with his dear friend Aaron Copland, defined the sound we now recognize as American classical music.”

Beezley pointed out that numerous guest soloists highlighted the season including: • Pianist Drew Petersen’s performance of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue • Clarinetist Ben Lulich’s performance in both the Bernstein Prelude Fugue and Riffs and the Mozart Clarinet Concerto • Mountain Dulcimer Stephen Seifert from Nashville, delighted the audience with educational demonstrations of his two dulcimers and he described the history of where they were made and where they were predominantly played • Pianist Kenny Broberg closed out the season with two fantastic concerts—a Solo Piano Concert Matinee and the Mozart Piano Concerto with the Festival Orchestra A unique Discover the Symphony Concert attracted many young families with children and folks who wanted to learn more about the joy of classical music.

Final season ticket sales and income will be reported in September at the nonprofit’s festival board meeting. The Festival is now planning its popular Fall Fireside Concerts starting December 8 with Boogie Woogie Pianist Arthur Migliazza. sunrivermusic.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | September 2018

Trevor Green with Pete Kartsounes at Volcanic Theatre

P

arallel 44 Presents singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Green live at Volcanic Theatre Pub on Thursday, September 6. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Pete Kartsounes will be opening for an evening of beats your inner drum will beat to all night long. This show is all ages.

Doors open at 8pm, opener starts at 8:30pm and Trevor Green at 9:30pm.

Trevor Green Spirited, deep, and thought provoking are just a few words to describe the artist known as Trevor Green. His music is something fresh and distinctly new, yet is deeply woven in the spiritual fabric of our ancient ancestors. Surrounded by five guitars, three didgeridoos, an array of percussion instruments and decorated of symbolic ancestral nature, Green’s stage appears to be a musical playground not for the faint of heart.

On the heels of Green’s recent EP Collide, comes the latest and most anticipated of his musical offerings. Voice of the Wind, Green’s fifth studio album, is a captivating sonic journey exposing the foundational fabric from which his inspiration is born.

Traveling the depths of emotion and musical experience, Voice of the Wind brings the listener into the haunting mystical realms of songs like Rainbow Medicine, to the foot stomping grooves of Let it Go and into the celebratory experience of the songs like Red Road and the title track Voice of the Wind. This record is a culmination of Trevor’s music and spiritual experiences to date and expresses the willingness to invite each listener into his personal journey as a reflection of their own.

“I follow the music where it leads me. Through this process I find the music always comes from an honest place and that is most important in receiving the songs when Trevor Green courtesy of Parallel 44 they come through.”

What deepens the music is Trevor’s ability to connect with his audience. Threading together sing-able and uplifting melodies, dynamic instrumentation, heart pounding rhythms and the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo, with his spontaneous improvisational ability, Green’s performance is a one man powerhouse with universal appeal that seems to come from the ground up. With his honest delivery and ability to extricate the music from a deep place of truth, he leads his audience through vast landscapes of sound, weaving together a magnetic and spellbinding performance.

Through Green’s devotion to bring forward the messages of our ancestors and connect deeply with culture, he recently launched a successful crowdfunding campaign that sent him, his wife, two young children and the son of his adopted Navajo brother on a two month journey into the heart of Australia to discover the roots of the aboriginal culture and the story behind the didgeridoo (yidaki), which has been such a fundamental part of the sound scape of his music.

Performing 25 shows across the region and meeting with various wisdom keepers from the indigenous aboriginal cultures, this would prove to be yet another life altering journey of deep magnitude. In seeking a deeper understanding and connection to didgeridoo, he was lead to a far deeper connection with the aboriginal community of Northeast Arnhem Land where he and his family were adopted into the Galpu clan. Given the name “North Wind” by elder Djalu Gurruwiwi, Trevor brings the blessing back to North America where he offers his fifth studio album Voice of the Wind.

Pete Kartsounes An award winning singer-songwriter, flat picker, and cutting-edge musician’s musician, Pete Kartsounes is no stranger to life out on the road. He has spent over two decades bringing his voice and guitar to stages all over the world. After 19 years submerged in the Colorado bluegrass scene sharing the stage with bands such as Leftover Salmon, Greensky Bluegrass and Yonder Mountain String Band, Pete www.operabend.org now resides in Bend spending most of his days teaching guitar, song schools and Tickets: $15/$25 touring with his dynamic act The Good Time Travelers. Pete continues to push the 1-800-838-3006 boundaries of the eclectic world of acoustic music.

In celebration of their tenth season, Cascadia Chamber Opera (also known as Cascadia Concert Opera) is producing Ethan Gans-Morse and Tiziana DellaRovere’s new opera in English, Tango of the White Gardenia. On Sunday, September 23 at 4pm, OperaBend will host Cascadia Chamber Opera’s production at the Pinckney Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Central Oregon Community College in Bend. For tickets, go to www.operabend. org. OperaBend audience members will recognize some of the singers in this performance: Kari Burgess, Zachary Lenox, Jocelyn Claire Thomas, David Gustafson and Karen Esquivel have all performed in OperaBend productions in the past.

The opera is a contemporary story of the lives of six tango dancers who have come together to dance the legendary Argentine tango. Anthony is the dance instructor who is teaching four aspiring dancers, sharing with them the spirit of tango while he mourns the loss of his beloved partner, Sofía. Sofía appears to guide Anthony and the young dancers, Sandra, Jojo, Justin and Victor as they compete at the great competition.

Sunriver Stars Community Theater Updates & News

O

ver the past six years the Sunriver Stars have progressively improved in many ways. Artistic director Victoria Kristy has provided leadership in finding better and better plays, and the future looks bright with a full slate of plays for the 2018/2019 season; which together looks like a wonderful assortment of music, comedy, mystery and holiday celebration.

The Sunriver Theater is improving in the area of organization, with more expert contributors to the board. Our newest board member is Gary Sosinski. Gary joined the board in July as our director of marketing.

The board sees this area of marketing as our number one priority, and Gary has a long history of sales and marketing experience and the energy to get the seats filled at our venue at The Door and to make our name familiar in the community of South Deschutes County. Gary will not be happy until every performance is a sell-out.

“My number one goal is to increase AWARENESS of the Sunriver Stars!

Once people are AWARE of the Stars I want residents to give the Stars a chance by attending a play. Once they attend a play I want to give them an experience that will make them want to return. I am looking for corporate sponsors that may be interested in investing in the Arts by becoming a STARS Sponsor. Please contact me at garys.srstars@gmail.com,” says Gary.

Last spring Eileen Katz became our new treasurer, following in the steps of Joan Lewis. Joan will be going off the board after several years of service not only as treasurer, but also in technical help with sound and lights. She will continue as an integral part of the theater community. Eileen expresses her position in the following statement. “With my background in financial management for small companies, I have helped SSCT convert its books from excel spreadsheets to accounting software. This allows a great deal of flexibility in the type of financial reports I can generate. With these reports, I can guide

management in making sound financial decisions. When the president of a company I previously worked for asked me what exactly I did, I replied that I kept him from jumping off a cliff with his ideas. I think this is generally true of finance departments. I have also been working on fine tuning the budgeting process for SSCT. Budgets help SSCT forecast expectations of profitability and funds availability for desired expenditures.”

Another recent addition to our board is Tom Hansen, who comes with years of experience in lighting technology. He was the lighting tech/operator at the theater in Newport, Oregon for years and he has assumed the position of director of technology. Tom’s explanation of his role with SSCT is “to enhance the audience experience in visual and audio perception of the production.” He is pursuing this goal by purchasing new lighting and additional audio equipment as we go to press.

The next director which the SSCT needs is a director of development, who can search out and apply for grants, and expand our donor base, along with any other programs to help financially support the STARS. We are in contact with an expert in this field who is willing to consult and to give direction to this effort. If you are this person, or know of a person of this caliber, please contact president Sharon Sackett at slms@bendbroadband.com Speaking of The Door; if you have not attended one of our plays lately you will be pleasantly impressed with the many improvements that have been made to the facility. New paint, lighting and sound equipment improvements have made this venue even better. It is a cozy, close to the stage environment where the actors can be seen and heard with ease. I have also heard of possible changes to seating and floor coverings in the near future. It is a wonderful place to attend a performance. Follow the STARS on Facebook, and put the website www.sunriverstars.org on your favorites list, visit it often and always look for the STARS stories in local publications.

FILM & THEATRE

Psychological Thriller Based on True Story Opens at 2nd Street Theater

S

tage Right Productions/2nd Street Theater presents the West Coast Premiere of Under a Red Moon by New York Playwright, Michael Slade. The play opened August 31 and runs through September 15.

Under a Red Moon, written by Michael Slade and directed by Juliah Rae is based on a true incident that occurred between serial killer, John George Haigh, aka “The Acid Bath Murderer” and two young American women in London in 1948, shortly prior to his arrest. The play focuses on Haigh’s psychiatric evaluation as he tries to prove himself insane and thereby avoiding standing trial. Joshua Curtis plays the smart and sinister Haigh, with Kelley Ryan portraying Dr. Ruth Covington.

2nd Street Theater has been host to several of Michael Slade’s plays, including BEAT’s production of And A Child Shall Lead and the World Premiere of Garden Politics, also directed by Juliah Rae. Michael recently co wrote an Amazon Web Series, After Forever, which was nominated for 12 IAWTV awards.

Performances are Thursday-Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sunday matinees at 3pm. Tickets are $19 adults, $16 student/seniors (60+) and are available by calling the box office at 541-312-9626 or at www.2ndstreettheater.com.

iven as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the day when the Boy will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit befriends the tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'"

Local Writer to Donate Proceeds of Class to BendFilm Festival

LITERARY

Gift in Memory of Pamela Hulse Andrews

L

ocal writer Sarah Cyr will offer an eight-week writing class this fall and donate 15 percent of the proceeds to BendFilm in honor of the independent film festival’s 15th anniversary. The donation will be earmarked for Independent Women for Independent Film in memory of Pamela Hulse Andrews, who passed away this year.

“There’s synergy between independent film and what I teach,” says Cyr. “Film is a powerful medium to tell story. So is the written word. In class, I share tools with writers that make the process of getting down the stories inside us easier.”

Cyr’s teaching style is inspired by Natalie Goldberg, author of the landmark book Writing Down the Bones, which has sold over 1.5 million copies. Cyr has attended two writing retreats with Goldberg, and this past July began a yearlong intensive with the legendary writing teacher at the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

“Sarah makes her students feel capable and connected to a larger community of writers,” says Shelby Little, manager at TDS Telecom, the parent company of BendBroadband. “She provides practical tools to overcoming common writing hang-ups. When I signed up for her class, I had little motivation to be creative in my personal time and seemingly no time to write. I’ve now found a way to access my creativity again with an active writing practice.”

Cyr’s work has appeared in Newsweek Magazine, ARTNews, The Boston Globe, Photo courtesy of Sarah Cyr and Cosmopolitan.

Cyr contributed to the first ever Independent Women for Independent Film when Pamela Hulse Andrews launched the program in 2013. A long supporter of the arts in Central Oregon, Andrews recruited ten of her women friends to each pitch in $100 and sponsor the festival’s Best Director award. A few emails and 15 minutes later she received commitments from 22 women, for an early total of $2200. Support of the festival from this movement of women in Central Oregon grew from there.

Attending the weekend-long festival has become an annual family tradition for Cyr. Her father, Robert Sennott, flies to Bend in October every year from his home state of Massachusetts to binge on independent film with his daughter. BendFilm has been voted one of the top fifty film festivals in the country by Movie Maker Magazine.

Writing with Prompts: Crafting Stories through the Side Door will be held Monday evenings from 6:30-8pm at Hawthorne Healing Arts from September 24 through November 12. sarahcyr.com

Beautiful Inspiration by Local Authors

by Marcee Hillman Moeggenberg AE Feature Writer Look What Kate Can Do, written by Katie Leatherwood and illustrated by Paul Leatherwood, is about their granddaughter Kate, who was born with one hand. Katie, who wrote the story as seen through Kate’s eyes, taught English at Summit High and Paul taught in Media Arts at Bend High, both having been Bend residents since 1981. The story is inspirational as well as educational — a story that children of all ages should read. The following are excerpts from a review written by a 13-year-old middle schooler who is close to Kate’s age — part of an age group that can grow, learn and be inspired by stories such as this.

One Hand Works as Well as Two

by Emma Carpenter This book is about a Kate who was born with Symbrachydactyly, telling her story about how she can navigate the world with one had just as easily as having two.

Through her story I learned that even if you’re missing a hand, you can still do the average/everyday things everyone with two hands can do.

Kate’s story taught me it’s okay to be different, and that even though you may not have two hands, you can still do everyday tasks. It taught how to see difference from their point of view, not just my own. My favorite parts are when she proved that she could do any and every single thing she wanted, from ballet to tying her shoes. I was inspired by how she tries things most people can’t do that look fun, like learning to play the guitar, but finding out she sometimes doesn’t like them, even though she can do them.

I [thoroughly] enjoyed the illustrations, they were both beautiful and realistic. Kate looks like a friend of mine, giving the story even more impact. I think Kate’s story is one every kid should read, as well as every adult. We can all learn from Kate, she is an inspiration.

Bend’s New Citizen

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

R

omania-born Sandra Costello arrived in Bend in 2005 with a degree in environmental engineering. She was going to stay for three months and then return home. But life has a way of happening when we’re making other plans, and nowhere is that truer than in Bend. Finally, after nine years of working in local restaurants and then launching and running Bowtie Catering with co-owner Gene Soto—and just three weeks after becoming a U.S. citizen—Sandra opened Citizen Bar & Kitchen with Gene in the old High Tides Seafood Grill location on Bond Street.

There was never any doubt about the establishment’s name. The same could not be said about the renovation. After ripping out the old carpet, it took a month just to restore the wood floors. But the packed restaurant, on a Monday night no less, clearly indicates that the effort was worth it.

During our first visit, my two friends and I jumped in with a round of cocktails. That’s just what you do in a place that calls itself a bar and kitchen. Good move, as it turns out. In an era where bartenders seem to be trying almost too hard when it comes to their concoctions, this drink menu takes old standards from decades ago and gives them a little updated twist. The Tom Collins makes its return, but with muddled and

then strained fresh blackberries and a long, metal straw. (You’ve got to love that. Yay, Citizen, for banning the plastic straw!) The Old Cuban has been stripped of its bitters and mint, so you can really taste the aged rum, lime juice and simple syrup topped with sparkling wine. There’s a drink I’ll add to my repertoire! Finally, with Smoke in the Citizen, the Bourbon Old Fashioned has been dressed up with walnut amaro and thyme.

We were off to a swinging start.

When the appetizers hit, we dug into an order of soft, house-baked bread served with blue cheese butter and smoked salt butter. Thumbs up all around.

The grilled artichokes could have used a little more cooking. The heart was fantastic, but it was hard to get anything off the underdone leaves.

Still, the preserved-lemon aioli would make me forgive just about anything.

There was nothing to forgive about the steamed clams with big chunks of pork belly and a hint of fennel. Served with perfectly charred slices of baguette and spoons to mop and/or slurp up every drop of savory broth, this dish may have been the evening’s winner. On the other hand, both the entrees and dessert provided competition on that front.

If you’re in the mood for crispy, seared scallops that are sweet and tender, you’ll be in for a treat

at this gastropub. We loved the accompanying cauliflower puree, sautéed leeks and bits of pancetta. The sweet rhubarb relish was less of a hit. I’d suggest you ask for it on the side or omit it entirely, so the rest of the flavors can shine through.

The rib-eye was seared perfectly but was perhaps just a tad under-seasoned. However, the citrusy salsa verde made with parsley, green onion, capers and lemon atop the steak made up for that and then some. I’d buy that by the bucket.

After sharing the roast half a chicken with crispy, golden skin, I understand why it’s a crowd favorite. I loved the ever-so-slight taste of scallion that came through, and whoever came up with the idea of putting two big slices of bread underneath and drenching them with chicken jus is a positive genius.

We almost skipped dessert, but thankfully the vanilla panna cotta reeled us in. The light, creamy and not-too-sweet custard topped with crunchy little bits of graham cracker and fresh berries was a show stopper.

, Artists Gallery is a great destination

SUNRIVER

O

ne of Central Oregon’s finest art galleries is located in an unassuming building in the Sunriver Village. The Artists' Gallery is an example of what happens when 30 incredibly talented and diverse artists present the best of their work in a spacious and light filled environment. It becomes a destination.

The gallery is open every day during the summer, but a really great time to visit is on the second Saturday of each month. On September 8 from 4-7pm, you are invited to party with the artists. Aside from the art and the fun, food and drink will be plentiful.

Featured artist Bill Hamilton exhibits a devout attention to light and the way that it illuminates its subjects. Landscapes draw the viewer’s eye to the peaks of one of his favorite subjects, the Cascade mountains. The light softly falls and surrounds the mountains almost like a halo. Hamilton’s goal is to be able to paint any subject, in any light and not get stuck in a box painting a few subjects. When asked why he doesn’t paint more people, he bursts out laughing and says, “If you’re off a bit on a tree, not a big deal, but if you are off a bit on a nose…well…I rather stick to trees.”

New to the gallery, jewelry artist Linda Barker shares her talent for beautiful, but quirky pieces that find the beauty in “found” items. Her pendent necklaces are spectacular – one piece utilizes a patina rich Mexican peso that someone shot a bullet through leaving a hole. Barker replaced the hole with a black seed pearl and then placed it on a silver bottle cap that had the misfortune of being smashed flat when a large vehicle drove over it. The result is a beautiful treasure. All the artist’s pieces are equally special as is the artist herself. Make sure to spend time with her when you visit for Second Saturday.

Long time favorite, potter Diane Miyauchi has many useful and beautiful pieces for collectors to choose from. The artist has added some new glazes to her presentation making a departure from her ever popular blue/green pieces.

Square shapes have been added to the plate selection. These items make perfect gifts and are a simple way to add art in a manner that can be appreciated and utilized daily.

Artwork by Jennifer Lewis

Jewelry by Linda Barker

Three Sisters by Bill Hamilton

Also new to the Gallery is painter Jennifer Lewis. Lewis uses colors and textures to convey different moods. She loves to experiment and play with her paintings often using everyday items like bubble wrap to create texture.

The artist is a longtime student of Feng Shui and each of her paintings has a conscious play of energy vs calm. Some of her most popular pieces were inspired by the recent eclipse.

Elk, shaped stainless steel by Brent Lawrence with Luke Lawrence

sunriver resort lodge

betty gray gallery

S

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents painter Courtney Holton with metal sculptors Brent Lawrence and Luke Lawrence.

The three artists’ work will appear in both the upper and lower galleries beginning September 12 through Thanksgiving weekend until November 25.

Painter Courtney Holton exhibits his new “construction series, born out of the contrast of light and darkness.” The artist’s abstract artwork features a darkly hued background painted on canvases of varied sizes. To the painted canvases he adheres crushed and then re-formed metallic strips, arranged in crisscrossing patterns, lightly brushed with thinned oil paint of varied hues.

On the darkened background, the painted metallic strips produce a 3D effect.

Holton notes that inspiration for the “construction series” came from “wandering at nightfall in the forest – being urban or natural – seeing what light the eye catches and what lies beyond.” He further describes, “At times the paintings seem like the dark, underside of a bridge combined with the glow of a stained glass window at dusk. This contrast of hard and soft, light and dark invite the viewer to pause and reflect.”

The artist, a native Oregonian, now divides his time between Bend and southern France where he presently studies printmaking with a renowned French printer. Holton has displayed work in the U.S., Turkey, Belgium, Switzerland and France. Over the past ten years, the artist has shown continuously at the Gallerie Expression Libre in Paris.

Brent Lawrence, a third generation metal worker and a second generation artist, shows laboriously shaped, stainless steel constructions with an applied

32

September 2018 | www.CascadeAE.com

chemical patina suggesting weathered stone. Images on these constructions primarily depict wildlife from around the globe in a primitive style similar to prehistoric cave paintings.

Luke Lawrence, a fourth generation metal worker and third generation artist, assists his father, Brent, in collaborative sculpture. The younger artist also creates his own unique images, often of wildlife.

Brent Lawrence works as a professional artist since 1987 with his sculpture appearing in fine art galleries throughout the west including Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, California and New Mexico.

Cowboys and Indians Magazine and Southwest Art Magazine also featured his artwork.

oin us in enjoying the artwork of Langford Barksdale and Peter Gundy at the Sunriver Library in September and October.

Langford has painted all of her life and studied extensively including RISD in Providence, University of Georgia and Cortona, Italy. She gathers inspiration from her extensive travels in Europe.

She did two residencies in Northern California through the Mendocino Art Center which gave her the momentum and time to focus on creating a series of wonderful tapestries that were displayed from the local old growth trees.

Langford has also led children’s workshops at Cheekwood Art Center, Aspen Art Museum and served as Children’s Program Director at the Anderson Ranch Art Center.

Peter Gundy's designs blend rustic and refined elements to create functional art. His custom work combines elegant functionality with the client’s personal style. Central Oregon Juniper is his favorite material for its variety of caramel and cream coloration, tight growth ring and grain density.

Peter describes woodworking as both therapy and gift in recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).

Peter Gundy, photos courtesy of Sunriver Library Woodworking by Peter Gundy “I’ve grown more patient and pay more attention to details since my concussions.

Sanding and polishing wood is a fitting metaphor for TBI recovery. Time and effort are rewarded as slowly the subtleties of the wood emerge. Similarly, as I learn new skills explore new design and work with different materials, my confidence returns.”

SUNRIVER EXHIBITS Artists' Gallery Sunriver 57100 Beaver Dr. Bldg 19 541-593-4382 • artistsgallerysunriver.com Artists’ Gallery Sunriver features four artists during the month of September: Bill Hamilton, Linda Barker, Diane Miyauchi and Jennifer Lewis.

Featured artist Bill Hamilton exhibits a devout attention to light and the way that it illuminates its subjects. Landscapes draw the viewer’s eye to the peaks of one of his favorite subjects, the Cascade mountains. New to the gallery, jewelry artist Linda Barker shares her talent for beautiful, but quirky pieces that find the beauty in “found” items. Her pendent necklaces are spectacular. Long time favorite, potter Diane Miyauchi has many useful and beautiful pieces for collectors to choose from.

The artist has added some new glazes to her presentation making a departure from her ever popular blue/green pieces. Also new to the Gallery is painter Jennifer Lewis. Lewis uses colors and textures to convey different moods.

T

hree great plateaus of sun baked, wind scrubbed Earth rise into the sky in Northeastern Arizona. These island mesas of smooth yellow sandstone boulders, laying in both tight, neat stacks and pell-mell jumbles, offer elevated vistas that seemingly reach beyond distant horizons and into the dimension of timelessness. Long ago, a people were drawn to settle these mesas that provide secluded natural springs. Whether or not they were the first to occupy these Islands in the Sky matters not, the Hopi stayed. One thousand years later they remain, their traditions still very much alive.

Artists Offering Show jeweler 30 years ago, after apprenticing for 25 years beside her uncle, the legendary Charles Loloma. Charles redefined the concept of Native American jewelry; his works are revered for their innovation, the skill required to create them, and their astounding beauty. First learning the basics of metallurgy and lapidary from her uncle, then the guiding concepts of form and content, Verma eventually came to understand the rich subtleties and nuances that define a true masterpiece from a fine work of art. She carries forward the understanding that, when a work is being constructed, there is only absolute precision with every detail. The end result is jewelry that has distinguished styling, is refined yet visionary, and leads one to consider something distant and ageless.

The Hopi are structured as a matriarchal society.

Upon marrying, the man goes to live with the woman’s family, adopting her clan. A sovereign nation, each village is divided into clans and governed by a headman or chief, who also serves as the spiritual leader. Dry land

farming and ranching are the primary livelihoods.

Pesavensi, Donna Humetewa of 3rd Mesa, belongs to the Rabbit/Tobacco Clans. She makes her paints using local earthen and mineral pigments; her depictions of patterns, land and sky, along with sacred symbols literally reflect the beauty surrounding her home. Upon concluding a career working for the Hopi Tribe, she began painting. Donna, who had long worked with fiber arts, found a mentor in James McGrath. The former Art Director of the Institute of American Indian Art college encouraged her to use the resources from her home when creating the works and to follow her intuitions. Her warm earth tone images are now seen each year at the juried Santa Fe Indian Market and Heard shows.

The Hopi attribute success to their Spiritual Ways, known as the Katsina religion. Their ceremonies and dances are prayers for moisture, germination and the well-being of everyone. They believe their land to be the center of the universe, their prayers essential to

SISTERS the harmony of humanity. Many Native American tribes acknowledge the Hopi as a model for peace and sustainability; theologians note a similarity between the Hopi and traditional Tibetans.

Dorothy Ami comes from the ancient pottery making village of Polacca on 1st Mesa. She began making pottery in her late teens. It was in her late 20’s when her cousin, the celebrated potter Mark Tahbo, began guiding her and she evolved into an award-winning potter herself.

Dorothy’s works are fully traditional—coiled with local earth materials, fired outside with cedar wood and sheep manure, stone polished and painted with natural clay pigments, bee-weed being used for the black.

Sonwai, Pesavensi and Dorothy will be offering a show and exhibition of their works September 28-30, with an artists reception on Friday from 4-7pm. They will offer an open forum, question and answer session on Saturday from 1:30-2:30pm. All events will take place at Raven Makes Gallery.

Tonye loves to work with a lot of color and mix diverse fabric prints together in interesting ways.

A self-taught painter, Zach began painting in 2011 and his work ranges from beautiful forests to a towering waterfall. Each painting is fully from his imagination with no use of a reference photo.

He is known for using bright eye-catching colors and creating a sense of depth, which pulls the viewer into each painting. “I want my paintings to make people feel as though they are there.” he said. His work is cheerful, and happy. Zach gives all credit to Jesus Christ, who he believes has blessed him with this wonderful gift. It is Zach’s hope that his work will bring joy to those who see it.

New Perspective for September

C

onversations over the first few days are pleasant and helpful.

Recognize the work that needs to be done on the 5th and take care of it. Decisions made on the 7th are cooperative and create new guidelines. Turn a corner on the 8th and begin a series of changes. The New Moon on the 9th inspire healing solutions to challenging situations. Be receptive to an unusual approach.

Open your mind to new opportunities on the 11th and 12th. Accept an invitation on the 15th and get ready to discover what is possible. Take a few extra deep breaths on the 18th and realize you are making big changes. Listen closely to conversations on the 20th and be willing to repeat what you learn over the next few days. The Fall Equinox on the 22nd brings news that leaves many questions. Be patient and life will make more sense very soon.

The Full Moon on the 24th is a time for solid decisions and clear action.

Trust your choices as you move forward. Choosing to see yourself in a new way on the 27th will be both helpful and effective. Make a promise to yourself on the 30th to let yourself immerse in a personal transformation. You will be very glad that you did.
