Annual

Art in the West Exhibition & Silent Auction Features Renowned Artists from Across the West

2020 Jurors’ Choice Winnter: Rapture by Millie Whipplesmith Plank

he High Desert Museum will unveil a stellar collection of traditional and contemporary art on Saturday, August 1 in its annual Art in the West exhibition and silent auction.

This year’s juried exhibition features works by 50 artists.

T

“We are excited to share the work of renowned artists in this invitation-only exhibition,” says Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. “The high-quality collection of artwork offers a variety of interpretations of High Desert cultures and landscapes.”

The exhibition opens on August 1. Silent bidding will be available online for the first time, and there is also the opportunity to purchase artwork outright. The bidding continues beyond this year’s Virtual High Desert Rendezvous, the Museum’s signature fundraising gala taking place on Saturday, August 29, and through to the exhibit’s closing on Saturday, October 3. Opening bids for the art range from $100 to $5,000.

The artwork selected for the exhibition is as varied as the artists themselves. The exhibit features sculptures, paintings and photography expressing responses to the landscapes, history, cultures and wildlife of the High Desert in mediums ranging from oil to acrylic to mixed media.

This year’s Curator’s Choice Award is presented to Kathleen Frank for her painting Wild West Summer. Frank is a Santa Fe-based landscape artist whose family travels exposed her to a diversity 2020 Curator’s Choice Winner: Wild West Summer by Kathleen Frank

Her work has been shown in museums and galleries across the country, including Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona and the Susquehanna Art Museum in Harrisbrug, Pennsylvania.

The Jury’s Choice Award goes to Millie Whipplesmith Plank for her piece Rapture. Informed by her cattle ranching heritage, Whipplesmith Plank’s work celebrates biodiversity and the preservation of open spaces. It describes the fragility of interdependence by combining the rich colors and simple shapes of traditional wood block prints with the energy and texture of spontaneous lines. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin and the

Maryhill Museum of Art in Washington state.

“Every Art in the West is distinct and dynamic, making it an exhibition that Museum visitors enjoy year after year,” Whitelaw says. “And it’s a wonderful way to both bring home unique artwork and support artists and the Museum.”

Proceeds from the Art in the West auction help support the Museum’s educational programs, bringing science, art and history education to lifelong learners throughout the region.

A link to the gallery guide of the exhibit artwork will be available exclusively on the Museum’s website starting Saturday, August 1 at highdesertmuseum.org/art-in-the-west.

G. Russell Case paints directly from nature to record colors and light, and his studio compositions are derived from thoughts and sketches recorded outdoors.

Eric Jacobsen’s true inspiration is the amazing beauty that he sees in nature.

Jacobsen takes his oils wherever he goes, setting up on site, often working until his painting is finished.

Grant Redden naturally looks to the landscape, the animals, and the western people as subjects for his creative impulse. Primarily self-taught, he had the opportunity to be mentored by many generous living masters.

Sylvia Avenius-Ford Paints the Textures of Her Life

by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, Ph.D. — A&E Feature Writer

S

ylvia Avenius-Ford, one of 30 member-creatives at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver, is a mixed-media painter who produces brilliant works of intense color and vibrant finish. Acrylic paint is her primary medium to which she adds fabric paint for impasto mark-making drawn directly from the tube, the effect of which bears kinship to stained glass or mosaic. Sylvia’s primary subject matter is a whimsical nature often inhabited by people and animals, sometimes in repose, sometimes in the midst of activity. Inspiration for her imagery stems from her storybook past, one heavily influenced by the stunning art, craft and textiles of people native to the many places she has lived.

Sylvia grew up in multiple countries, including Venezuela, Peru and Nigeria. Her dad worked for an oil company, and it wasn’t until the age of 15 that she set foot in the United States. At ten years old, Sylvia and her family had to be evacuated from Nigeria due to the civil war that raged there from 1967-1970, a war that claimed the lives of over a million people (blackpast.org). “Our family sought refuge in France, and once it was safe, we returned to Nigeria despite having lost everything we owned,” the artist remembers. Her memories of this nation aren’t all tainted by war, however. Sylvia fondly recalls its market places in Lagos and Port Harcourt teeming with life. The competing smells of delicious food and unmanaged waste, the heat of the air, the sounds of people and animals, strange visuals like monkey paws reserved for black magic, all bombarded her senses in every which way. “There is a feeling of aliveness in such places that stems from the intensity of the information out there,” she explains. “It’s a richly textured life.”

Texture, in fact, is one of the terms Sylvia most uses to describe her art, both in terms of its inspiration and of the layered meanings she hopes the viewer will derive from it. Although primarily associated with touch, texture can also refer to “the character of a piece of writing or music” (dictionary.cambridge.org). With respect to music, texture describes “a feature of the way it sounds, based on how the different instruments mix their parts and the speed at which they play” (ibid). Considered broadly as the character of something, our definition of texture extends to include the input derived from all our senses with respect to a given subject that results in an experience or a feeling for that person, place or thing, one filtered through memory over time. It is this experiential quality drawn from a multitude of influences that Avenius-Ford wishes to convey in her art.

Take, for example, Best of Companions, a painting that features a woman with outstretched arms tending her laundry on a clothesline and accompanied by her black dog and numerous birds, some of which appear to be woven into the hanging fabric itself while others are clearly independent of the fabric. A dark blue sky of receding clouds slowly transitions into a distant turquoise as it meets the sea. What are the various textures woven into this image, you may wonder?

Best of Companions, mixed media on panel, 36”x18” by Sylvia Avenius-Ford

10

August 2020 | www.CascadeAE.com

arts One prominent element of that texture is the activity of hanging clothes outside to dry, a narrative that many can relate to, especially those of a certain age or without the means or desire for a dryer. Through time spent enjoying this image, one might experience a slight breeze as the wind ruffles the sheets, and if out on the ocean as this woman appears to be, the smell and taste particular to ocean air. The visiting birds call to mind another narrative, that of St. Francis, Patron Saint of Animals, who was often depicted in the company of birds. The companionship of a pet, as the painting’s title suggests, evokes yet another layer of meaning, especially for those who have owned dogs, “[hu]man’s best friend,” as the saying goes. Perhaps this painting represents a personal tribute on behalf of the artist to the family dog that was left behind during their flight from Nigeria. The painting’s bright colors suggest joy and ease while the patterning and outlining reflect an interest in the decorative and folk arts.

Such is the intensity of information Avenius-Ford packs into a single image, and as with all art, it is up to the viewer to extract it.

Despite the sophistication inherent in generating such a multivalent art, Sylvia humbly asserts, “I do not take my art too seriously. It’s fun art not fine art.” Her 20 years of teaching three to 11-year-olds, with their playful attitudes and willingness to experiment, certainly influenced this approach. “I never went to art school,” Sylvia reveals, “so I don’t adhere to any particular rules. I just go with the feeling, my intuition, and some things work and some things don’t. If I have a story to start with, those are the paintings that typically work for me.

Imminent Kerfuffle, mixed media on panel, 36”x18” Today, for example, I saw a woman at

by Sylvia Avenius-Ford her mailbox and it struck me, this very intimate moment, something we all do.

I know that image will end up in a painting somewhere, perhaps combined with other images I hold in my mind.”

Across the River, mixed media on panel, 30”x30” by Sylvia Avenius-Ford

Recollections of her past, near and distant, provide Sylvia’s art with a springboard for recollections of related moments on behalf of the viewer. In Imminent Kerfuffle, the painter presents a memory from San Antonio, Texas. There she observed dogs “always looking up in trees, trees full of feral cats. Clearly, something is about to happen,” a fact known to all except, perhaps, the two cats peacefully resting on the lowest branch. This feeling of suspended time before something breaks loose is one we’ve all experienced, and Sylvia provides a humorous rendition of that feeling here.

Kites and Clouds, mixed media on panel, Whether an inspiring landscape, a relatable experience or a simple moment shared, Sylvia 20”x20” by Sylvia Avenius-Ford Avenius-Ford creates an art accessible to all, one that makes us smile and, if we believe no one looking, dare to touch its shiny, textured surface! As Sylvia herself has stated, “The highest compliments I have received are when viewers tell me my creations make them happy and when children approach with outstretched hands to touch a piece — something they are welcome to do.”

Art Runs Deep

in Gary McPherson’s Veins

G

ary was born in a small Michigan town surrounded by relatives, friends and lots of nature. As a youngster he helped out on his relatives’ farms or his father’s carpentry business, while being acutely attracted to the beauty of nature. He especially loved watching the spring trees come alive with their various shades of greens as well as doing close-up observation of birds, their nests, eggs and habits — in short, loving nature.

At an early age, Gary started to really enjoy sketching and drawing.

One of his fondest memories was taking a smooth cardboard from his father’s laundered white shirts and drawing the portraits of the “Breck Women” published on the back of his step-mother’s Better Homes and Gardens magazines.

Canyon Creek Meadows, oil, 24x36 by Gary McPherson

On his 18th birthday he was given an acrylic Paint-by Numbers set. He disliked the blocky constraints of that format, so he used the set to begin creating his own paintings.

He later went into military service, married, started a family, worked in the computer field and when time and finances permitted, continued to follow his love of art by painting and drawing.

12

August 2020 | www.CascadeAE.com

Only after years passed and circumstances changed, including a divorce, a move to California, and a career as a Registered Nurse, did he find more time to devote to serious painting.

Gary McPherson in his studio | Photo courtesy of Gary McPherson

After moving to Paradise, California and marrying his wife Joyce, Gary began to show and sell his work. He was a member of the Paradise Art Guild, and his art was displayed in various businesses, city offices and venues in the area, as well as in the Bay Area. He was the featured artist in the annual Paradise Chocolate Fest, as well as contributing his art in auctions and charity events. His studio was surrounded by his paintings, drawings of landscapes, sketches, pencil drawings and prints of commissioned portrait work.

arts

On November 8, 2018, his art studio, home — and almost the entire town of Paradise — was destroyed by the Camp Fire. Even though much of his local art was destroyed, some paintings located outside of Paradise remained and he knew he would continue his work somewhere else.

Gary and his wife had for many years come to Bend during the summer, and had fallen in love with the beauty here — they knew fairly quickly that Central Oregon was where they would like to relocate. They are now acquainting themselves even more with the magnificent natural surroundings which Gary is attempting to capture on canvas. Although oil is his primary medium, painting in watercolor runs a close second. If

you meet him, or see his work, you may also see some of his hand-crafted wooden pens in his pocket — ask him to show you his portfolio of pens.

Art runs deep in Gary’s veins.

In August Gary will be showing his work as Artist of the Month at Ida’s Cupcake Café, located at 445 SW Sixth Street in Redmond. Some of his work is also available to be seen at Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery in Sisters. idascupcakecafe.com • kenscottsimagination.com

The Gemstone Jewelry of Red Chair Gallery artist

Anne von Heideken

by JULIA KENNEDY COCHRAN — Red Chair Gallery

“T

o me, it’s all about the stones,” explains Anne von Heideken, when asked what inspires her to make her gorgeous gemstone jewelry.

She has always loved the natural beauty of the semi-precious stones she uses in her work. Turquoise and freshwater pearls are her favorites, but she often mixes them with deep blue lapis lazuli, fiery carnelian, pastel Peruvian opal, grassy peridot and other types of gems. Her jewelry will be showcased at Red Chair Gallery in August.

Originally from the Bay Area, von Heideken moved to Portland when her husband’s job was transferred there. She and her family vacationed in Sunriver often and after one of their sons moved to Central Oregon permanently, they decided to move to Bend. She had always dabbled in crafts such as sewing and knitting and at one point owned a business making pillows. On a trip to New Mexico, she became enamored of Southwestern style jewelry. After a stroll around Santa Fe’s famous plaza, where Native Americans from nearby pueblos sell their jewelry, she decided to learn how to make it herself. Her daughter-in-law taught her some basic techniques and the rest is self-taught.

Jacqueline Newbold

hroughout the month of August, the Oxford Hotel is featuring High Desert Art League member, Jacqueline Newbold’s colorful watercolor paintings. The show opens on first Friday, August 7.

Jacqueline is known for her vibrant paintings depicting the dramatic skies, fields of vibrant flowers and rows of lavender leading to a charming cottage or rustic barn. She searches for inspiration for her color choices from nature’s beauty. “I studied botany in college, so I enjoy bringing the outside world into my paintings by adding poppies, lupines, lavender and other wildflowers that add splashes of color.”

Her energetic paintings and colorful art journals have been featured in magazines and books such as Somerset Studio’s Art Journaling, Interweave Press’s Cloth Paper Scissors, Studios, the Cloth, Paper Scissors Book and Splash 17, the Best of Watercolor. She is a member of the Oregon Watercolor Society, the Red Chair Gallery and the High Desert Art League.

She buys most of her gemstones at the Tucson Gem Show, a gigantic jeweler’s supply event that takes place each February. After getting to know some vendors and asking a lot of questions, she has learned how to pick high quality material. This is especially useful when buying turquoise, which can be faked in various ways, such as dying other stones a turquoise color and using methods such as stabilization, where an epoxy is mixed with the stone to enhance hardness and color. von Heideken’s favorite turquoise is from the Kingman mine in Arizona, one of the most famous.

She combines her Tucson stones with sterling silver and pewter findings such as chain and spacers to make classic Southwestern style designs. A threestrand necklace can look very different

depending on the materials used. “I try to get something special, like baroque pearls, to change a necklace to a different look,” she explains.

A couple of years ago, von Heideken began making ceramic totems for fun and they have been very popular at Red Chair Gallery. These are whimsical stacks of animals, such as dogs and rabbits, along with objects such as houses and balls. She will undoubtedly be doing more of these since she has established a studio in her house with all the needed equipment. redchairgallerybend.com

Creating artwork has been the life-long passion of Mark Shelton, a modern-contemporary, Native American painter. Born in Moline, Illinois, he moved in 1984 to Portland to pursue fine and graphic art.

He earned his associate of applied science degree from Portland Community College, then transferred to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where he gained his bachelor of fine arts with honors.

A Native American of Seneca heritage, with blood ties to the Sandusky Seneca of the Ohio River Valley, Shelton concentrates on imagery of indigenous peoples.

His current exhibit features images of native subjects in daily routines as well as noted tribal leaders including Geronimo, an Apache, and Chief Joseph, Nez Perce.

Shelton speaks of these featured leaders: “Geronimo (Bedonkohe band of Mescalaro-Chiricahua) was a prominent leader of this Apache tribe. Living in tribal land, later claimed as Arizona and New Mexico territories, Geronimo joined with other Chiricahua bands leading numerous raids against the Mexican and U.S. military campaigns, becoming known as a superb leader in warfare. He often commanded 30-50 Apaches. Yet, out-numbered by men and munitions, he was captured and imprisoned by the U.S. Cavalry.

Unwilling to conform, he “broke out” three times over several years only to be recaptured. He finally surrendered in 1898 to Lt. Charles Bare Gatewood, an Apache-speaking, West Point graduate worthy of his 16 August 2020 | www.CascadeAE.com

respect. Transferred to another general, he was treated as a prisoner of war and moved to varied locations and finally exiled to Florida with 27 other Apaches.

The U.S. capitalized on this fame, “exhibiting” him in fairs and other events — in 1898, Geronimo was featured at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exhibition in Omaha, Nebraska. Resourceful, Geronimo capitalized on these events to sell photos of himself, bows and arrows and buttons off his shirts.

In 1905, the Indian Office provided Geronimo for the inaugural parade of President Theodore Roosevelt.

Still a prisoner, he died at the Fort Sill, Oklahoma hospital in 1909 and was buried at the Fort Sill Indian Agency Cemetery, among graves of relatives and other Apache prisoners of war.

Chief Joseph (Thunder Traveling Over the Mountains), forced to leave tribal lands in Oregon, and attempting to evade the U.S Cavalry, he and the Nez Perce were chased for 1,300 miles into Montana, near the Canadian border. Within those 60 days, he and tribal peoples fought four regiments of the U.S. Cavalry (11 battles) and took no scalps, unlike their non-native rivals. The chief and his followers were attempting to escape into Canada and join there with Sitting Bull (Sioux).

Denied refuge and assistance in their effort, Chief Joseph surrendered to General Bear Coat Miles on October 4, 1877, with his famed speech: “Our chiefs are killed…The old men are all dead…

He who led the young men [Olikut] is dead…It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food.

No one knows where they are — perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more, forever.” Chief Joseph’s surrender speech.

Chief Joseph surrendered October 5, 1877, his emotional speech recorded in American history.

Until his death, he spoke of the U.S. injustice and discrimination against Native Americans. In 1904, “the agency physician reported Chief Joseph’s cause of death as ‘a broken heart’,” Shelton concludes.

Shelton, widely recognized in the art arena, has exhibited and sold in New York City, Chicago,

Geronimo, acrylic paint on paper collage by Mark D. Shelton

Seattle, Portland, Joseph, Jackson Hole and in Arizona, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington. He has shown abroad in Germany and Italy, and has received invitations to show in England.

The Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona hosts its prestigious annual juried show with visitors attending from around the globe. The top 650 Native-American artists are selected to participate each year. Shelton applied for the first time in 2009 and his two submissions, Wishram Fisherman and Warriors Overlooking Death Valley, were immediately juried into the show; additionally, in other deserved achievements for the young artist, the award-winning, mixed media painting Warriors Overlooking Death Valley sold. Wishram Fisherman remains in the artist’s private collection.

That same year, he competed for the first time to enter the highly selective Indian Market on the plaza at Santa Fe, New Mexico and was immediately included and sold artworks.These juried selections and quick purchases of his art in these highly competitive and respected shows are further testimony to his excellence as an artist.

Shelton’s exhibit at Franklin Crossing continues through the month of August. His intent is that his artwork creates an awareness of beauty and history as a release from the stress of these times.

Exhibitions of his artwork are rare and we encourage your attendance, especially as First Friday will not be presented this year due to continuing commitment to social distancing. Private viewings with Billye Turner, fine art consultant, are available.

hat is more challenging than putting on a play?

How about putting on a play while honoring all the safety restrictions in place to keep us all healthy and safe from COVID? Even better, what if we decided to put on a BILINGUAL play, wherein all our young actors learned the entire production in both Spanish and English? And to top it off, what if we asked them to learn all their movements forward AND backward?

A cast of eight young actors at BEAT Children’s Theatre have chosen to take on all these challenges! Rehearsing together in a space that allows them to respect social distancing — and staying masked the whole time — these extraordinary performers will tell the tale of a farmer who learns a lesson about valuing friends and listening to loved ones. Each scene will be performed entirely in English, then rewound (physically by the actors) and then performed a second time in Spanish. Their exciting play will be filmed in an outdoor setting and interested viewers will be able to purchase tickets and watch the story from home on their computers.

BEAT Children’s Theatre is excited to share The Farmer Finds His True Friends / El granjero descubre a sus verdaderos amigos. This short, sweet one-act play is directed by Bree Beal and assistant directed by Annie Deeter. Given the current status of our world in chaos and unrest, this play reminds us that everyone needs love, kindness and friendship, and that friends come in all different shapes and sizes.

usan Louise Evans was born January 16, 1935 in Palo Alto, California. Her only sibling was her sister Alice. At age four, she was named Queen of the May Day Parade in Palo Alto (pictured). The mayor had seen her dancing on the top of her mother’s car, and thought she would be a great queen. During the Second World War, her father joined the Navy and was stationed at the Naval Supply Depot in Dishman, Washington, and the family lived in Spokane. While in Spokane, Susan took ice skating lessons and became a competitive figure skater. At age seven, she won third place in a competition, as well as a daffodil in the Ice Follies.

When the war ended, the family moved back to Palo Alto where Susan finished the fifth and sixth grades. She then attended Jordan Junior High and Palo Alto High School, finishing in 1953. She participated in children’s theatre and performed in high school productions. She also participated in due to some of the laws there, so Susan moved to Rome to live with tap, ballet dancing and acrobatics.

Jerry Lou Inman moved to Palo friends in March of 1954. Apparently Alto in 1950, and Susan invited him marriage laws were much less strict to the Sadie Hawkins dance — this in Italy. Jerry finished his junior year started their romance. During those at Stanford and flew to Rome where years she, took voice lessons with a they were married in June 1954 in St. Paul’s Within The Walls church private coach.

of all the interesting places they encountered and experienced.

Upon returning to Palo Alto, Jerry and Susan both studied at Stanford.

Susan was busy with school and a job, with no time for the theatre.

Their first son, Todd, was born while Susan was still a student in April, 1955. Jerry graduated in 1956 and was immediately hired by the U.S. Information Agency. (USIA) The couple moved to Washington DC where their second son, Eric, was born in December, 1956.

In September, 1957, Jerry was assigned as a Junior Officer Trainee to Manila, Philippines. In early 1958 he was temporarily assigned to the island

of Cebu where he represented the Embassy as the acting branch public affairs officer. In Cebu, they had a home on the beach and Susan’s job was to create receptions for visiting dignitaries — world-renowned Ambassador Chip Bolin came for a momentous visit. During their time there, Jerry distilled some Tuba, which is a liquor made from the sap of coconut trees. The sap ferments in two to three hours. At one party, the son of former president, Sergio Osmena Jr., wondered why this distillation of Tuba sap was not an industry in the Philippines.

The Cebu post was for one year, and then they were directly transferred to Taegu, the apple capital of South Korea. Jerry was named branch public affairs officer in September 1958, and was to be the only U.S. Embassy person in Taegu. Unfortunately, before they could move to Taegu, their assigned house was washed away in a flood. Susan was expecting their third child so they temporarily lived in Tokyo in the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Imperial Hotel. When they were able to move to Taegu, they lived in an apartment above the garage of the USIS library and office.

The only toilet was shared with 17 local employees.

They finally moved to a beautiful home built by the Japanese during their occupation of Korea. The home had electricity most of the time, and mat floors made of Tatami, but the kitchen floor was dirt. Their daughter, Martitia, was born in the Presbyterian Missionary Hospital in December, 1958. Susan continued hosting parties

at this home, which was quite large with a nice yard. It was a good home, and the Inmans were treated nicely by the Koreans. Their youngest son, Chris, was born there in July, 1960, in the U.S. 8th Army Hospital in Seoul. During that time, Jerry became acquainted with many high-ranking Korean civilians and military persons.

President Syngman Rhee was exiled to Hawaii after a revolution started by students in Masan and Taegu. Chang Do Yang headed up a military coup, then his second in command, Pak Jung Hee, orchestrated a second coup, and sentenced Chang to death. But because Chang was so favored, Pak let Chang go to the United States.

In 1962 the Inmans came home to the U.S. Jerry went to language school again for six months to learn Spanish.

Then it was off to Venezuela. Jerry was named assistant cultural attache. They lived outside the city for three years.

The terrorists were very active at this time. Susan and her children were threatened to be shot if they did not leave the country. There was a very antiAmerican atmosphere, but the Inmans did not leave the country. Susan taught ESL, and again engaged a voice coach to pursue that passion. In Caracas, Venezuela, Susan got very involved in theatre. She performed in Teahouse of the August Moon, South Pacific, Bye Bye Birdie and Kiss Me Kate. She was also a member of the board of the Caracas Theater Club.

In 1965 Jerry was assigned to Japan, so he and Susan studied the Japanese language — six hours a day, five days a week for six months — in Arlington, Virginia. The grandparents took care of the children for the six months of language school before they moved to Japan. Then, once in Yokohama, they studied for one and a half more years.

This period is when Susan concocted her famous sourdough starter.

Upon graduation Jerry was assigned to the Embassy, so they moved to Tokyo, where the children were enrolled in private schools. In June of 1969, after only a brief time in Tokyo, Jerry was assigned to DC. The family enjoyed returning to the states on the

Then Jerry was assigned to the U.S. Embassy as the deputy public affairs officer. During these three years, Jerry and Susan learned to fly. Susan was also very involved with the Tokyo Theatre for Children.

In 1986 Jerry retired from the U.S. Foreign Service. During the time following his retirement, the Inmans worked in DC, where Jerry was the president of the Japan-America Student Conference. In 1992, he received a surprise telephone call from the Asia Foundation based in San Francisco, California, asking Jerry to be their U.S. Representative to Japan. Jerry accepted the threeyear assignment but it was eight years before the couple came home.

In these years with the Asia Foundation in Tokyo, Susan resumed her participation with the Tokyo Theatre for Children that traveled extensively to schools and Army bases doing shows for children. Susan was on the board of this Theatre, and at Susan Evans Inman, Queen of the May Day Parade, 1935, one time the rest of Palo Alto, California the board resigned from the cultural world of the United due to other assignments and she was States, and Susan entertained through left with a dying theatre.

previously purchased property — but to come to Oregon, where they bought a Wildflower Condo in 1994. They were still living in Japan, but in 1996 they purchased acreage and a home on Gatehouse Lane off of Big River Drive. In 1998 Jerry re-retired, and they returned from Japan to move into the home on Gatehouse and started raising alpacas.

In 2005, the Inman’s purchased a farm northeast of Bend. Jerry passed away in July, 2015, and Susan continues to live and work on the farm.

This history gives the reader a detailed rundown of the pre-Sunriver life of this woman, as she supported her husband in the jobs and adventures they took.

Once Susan and Jerry arrived in Central Oregon, she got involved in Second Street Theater, where she performed in Voices, directed by Sandy Silver, and Working. At the Cascade Theatrical Company she performed in Oliver and The Spitfire Grille. At the Tower Theatre she performed as Yente in Fiddler on the Roof, and she was Benjamin Franklin in 1776 with the Obsidian Opera, along with other Central Oregon productions.

Susan is a Great Great Grandmother, who calls herself a Certifiable Knit Wit because she is incessantly knitting Alpaca lace shawls and acrylic chemo caps. She always makes time, however, for her love of the performing arts — both as a supporter and a participant. In 2011, she and Jerry met with Victoria Kristy, and the dream of the Sunriver STARS Community Theater (SSCT) took shape. She was the vice president of the Board for a while, and most recently the corresponding secretary. For the SSCT, she has performed in, or directed, 22 of our 27 productions. To say the least, Susan Evans Inman has given theatre in Bend, Sunriver and far-away places, her talent, time and resources.

We are so pleased to have Susan contributing her expertise to the Board — as well as performing in our plays — and we are proud to include her in our STORIES OF THE STARS. sunriverstars.org Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | August 2020 21

orri Stewart has published her first book, the Young Adult fantasy novel, Faltofar. After having worked on Faltofar for a number of years, Morri decided to hire an editor to finetune her book.

eth Alvarado, a faculty author in the Oregon State University – Cascades Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program has received the 2020 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction for her book of essays, Anxious Attachments.

Her web search led her to Linden Gross, One Stop Writing Shop, located here in Bend. Over lunch, the two women bonded and have worked closely together for the past several years. With Linden’s input Morri re-worked her manuscript to its final draft and sent proofs out to her test readers just as Deschutes County, along with most of the country, closed its doors due to COVID-19.

The award was announced during a special episode of The Archive Project, hosted by Literary Arts and Oregon Public Broadcasting, during which Alvarado reads from her work.

“These are unparalleled conflicts arising in our world today,” said Morri.

“There is a timeliness to Faltofar. The fantastical place I have created and the world we are living in are both fighting to survive. The crazy part is that the children will be the ones to decide the fate of both places — real and imagined.”

The evolution of the publishing world has made self-publishing easier and more accessible for writers. Professional websites such as Linden’s, as well as Lieve Maas’s Bright Light Graphics, the jacket designer for Faltofar, further assist authors to finely polish and package their words.

Local support groups facilitate author workshops on writing, editing, selfpublishing and marketing.

Faltofar can be purchased on Amazon.com or through your favorite independent bookstore. morristewart.com

Anxious Attachments is Alvarado’s first-person exploration of her life over five decades. Told through 14 essays, the story takes readers on a personal journey into life in the southwestern U.S. Southwest and evokes themes of class, family, grief and gender.

The book was also longlisted for a PEN America Literary Award for the Art of the Essay.

Alvarado is also the author of Anthropologies: A Family Memoir and Not a Matter of Love, a collection of short stories. Her new story collection, Jillian in the Borderlands will be published in October.

In 2020, she won an Oregon Literary Career Fellowship.

Alvarado has taught creative nonfiction in the OSU-Cascades MFA program since 2015. Prior to that, she taught writing at the University of Arizona. She earned an masters in fine arts in fiction from the University of Arizona and a master’s degree in English literature from Stanford University. osucascades.edu

Caribbean Grilled Wings Recipe Photos courtesy of Savory Spice

INGREDIENTS: » For Dipping Sauce: • 1/2 cup sour cream • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt • 2 Tbsp. lime juice (about 1 lime) • 1 Tbsp. choice of Caribbean seasoning: -- Jamaican Jerk Seasoning -- Bajan Seasoning -- Cuban Island Spice -- Hidden Cove LemonGarlic Blend

DIRECTIONS:

» For Wings: • 5 lbs. chicken wings • 1 tsp. Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce (or tamari) • Juice of 1 small orange or 1/2 grapefruit • 5 Tbsp. choice of Caribbean seasoning: -- Jamaican Jerk Seasoning -- Bajan Seasoning -- Cuban Island Spice -- Hidden Cove Lemon Garlic Blend • 1/4 cup honey • 2 Tbsp. lime juice (about 1 lime)

For Dipping Sauce: Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate so flavors can develop while you prepare the wings.

For Wings: In a large serving bowl, toss wings with Salt & Pepper Tableside. Add oil, soy sauce, and orange or grapefruit juice and toss again. Add 1 Tbsp. Caribbean seasoning at a time, tossing wings to coat after each addition; tossing 1 Tbsp. at a time helps get the wings more evenly coated in seasoning. Let wings sit in seasoning at room temperature for 15 to 30

min., tossing every 5 or 10 min. (Refrigerate the wings if you let them sit longer than 30 min.) Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium high. Grill wings for about 30 min. or until internal temperature reaches 175 to 180 degrees. Turn wings over and move them around on the grill every 5 min. or so for even cooking. Clean out the large serving bowl used to season wings; add the honey and lime juice and whisk until smooth.

Transfer wings from the grill to the bowl with honey-lime mixture and toss to coat.

Serve with dipping sauce on the side.

spice merchant tip: Rubs vs. Seasonings?

This question comes up often in the daily life of a spice merchant.

The first thing you need to know is that these terms are mostly interchangeable. Traditionally a rub could be considered a seasoning that is coarser, and can be used more liberally on a large piece of protein to coat the outside. However, that steak rub in your cabinet is also going to be a great seasoning on

roasted potatoes or grilled veggies.

Likewise that veggie seasoning in your pantry will make a great rub on chicken or pork. Rubs and seasonings should both be used in larger quantities than you might use an individual spice. So don’t limit yourself by the name. If it smells good and tastes good, then use it on your food.

Gray Fox

Becomes Newest Animal Ambassador at Museum Photo courtesy of High Desert Museum

V

isitors returning to the High Desert Museum after its three-month closure will meet a new mammal in the Museum’s care — an approximately 12-monthold, female gray fox.

The as-of-yet unnamed fox arrived at the Museum shortly before the facility’s closure to the public. She was found severely malnourished and with a seriously injured hip as a pup in southwestern Oregon. She was brought to Bend after surgery to remove part of her femur.

The fox was also wearing a collar around her neck when found.

Professional wildlife rehabilitators determined she is habituated to humans, meaning she doesn’t have adequate fear of humans to be able to survive in the wild.

The Museum’s reopening day on June 17 marked the first time the general public has gotten to see the fox. She is one of the first new mammals to come into the Museum’s care in several years.

“This gray fox is inquisitive and

very active,” says Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. “We’re sure visitors will be delighted with her. And more importantly, the fox serves as an ambassador for her species. We know visitors will take away an appreciation for the important role foxes play in the High Desert ecosystem.”

The fox is in an outdoor habitat that’s specially designed for her needs.

The exhibit includes a hollow log, an above-ground shelter, a ground-level shelter and a below ground-level den, as well as two climbing structures, a resting shelf and a variety of rocks and other logs.

“This fox is very playful,” Museum Curator of Wildlife Jon Nelson says.

“She loves to climb and is extremely agile despite her hip surgery. Gray foxes are both cursorial and arboreal— meaning they both run and climb. The exhibit space we have constructed affords her ample opportunity to do both, and she makes full use of the space to play.”

Gray foxes range throughout much

of North and Central America. They’re omnivores that typically grow to weigh between eight and 15 pounds, eating small mammals, birds and insects as well as fruit and vegetation. They readily climb trees with their strong, hooked claws.

At the Museum, the fox enjoys a diet of rats, mice and birds as well as a range of vegetables, seeds, nuts and some fruit. The fox is being crate and target trained to facilitate her care. She receives a wide variety of enrichment — Nelson says catching live crickets and playing with a Kong toy are among her favorites.

In the wild, gray foxes are believed to live roughly six years. Animals often live longer when in the care of zoos and other similar facilities.

The naming of the fox will be an auction item at this year’s Virtual High Desert Rendezvous, which takes place on Saturday, August 29.

New Perspective for August

by EILEEN LOCK

A

n intense beginning may be necessary in order to initiate changes.

Conversations on the 1st feel challenging and you may consider going a new direction The Full Moon on the 3rd brings a feeling of detachment and the desire to make a decision. Too many options on the 4th could simply complicate your viewpoint. After the 8th you could feel like you are playing an entirely different game. Cooperation on the 9th is surprising and initiates healing. Another change right behind it on the 10th could leave you wondering what to believe.

A strong push for personal change could lead to a huge breakthrough on the 13th. Be aware if your pride gets in the way on the 14th and realize there is cooperation available when you let it in. A personal pep talk on the 16th will prepare you for important conversations the next day. The New Moon on the 18th is an opportunity for you to think about your needs so that you can ask for them to be met. Write a letter to yourself on the 19th to reinforce the healing that you want to see happen. Action taken on the 24th is decisive and will help everything flow better almost immediately. Make a wish on the 25th and

let it be a big one. Open your heart on the 27th and realize that magic really is possible. The change in conversation is so drastic by the 29th that you simply need to let go of the past and start fresh. As you move forward, a little bit of blind faith will go a long way.
