Cascade A&E Magazine Presents Cover Artist

Katherine Taylor

I

am a longtime Central Oregon oil painter, although I began my art career, strangely, right after I got my first job teaching high school English in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although I had worked hard on my Secondary Ed degree and found I loved teaching (still do), it’s as if I suddenly realized I chose the wrong profession.

I continued to teach anyway but decided to take oil painting classes after my school day ended. My first art instructors were classically trained, so that’s how I came to develop my Renaissance style of painting. During visits to Italy, all I would do is stare for hours at Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Vermeer paintings where they exaggerated strong lights and darks (i.e., chiaroscuro). This made a huge impression on me, and I began paying closer attention to modern artists like Edward Hopper and Odd Nerdrum who also used that technique, and this has

King Leo by Katherine Taylor

informed my work to this day.

I teach classical oil painting now instead of English literature. Instructing art students is not only inspiring, but it has made me a better painter. I’ve discovered that what I am really teaching is light. Actually, we can’t see light itself; we can only perceive its rays by observing how the objects of our world reflect them.

Without illumination, we can’t appreciate the real beauty of a person’s face or a sparkling stream (nor paint it). The temperature of the light itself (e.g., warm on a sunny day, cool on a cloudy one) also informs how to paint something, not to mention the endless and subtle influences of light and color between objects close to one another.

Understanding the physics of light is a never-ending source of fascination for me. Frankly, this very understanding is how all great paintings get made. That’s why

it’s so much better to paint from life than solely from photographs (which never capture the nuances you need to make a decent painting). With that said, I can’t get wild animals to pose for me! But years of painting from life (still life in my studio and plein aire outdoors) has been the most reliable technique I’ve come across for understanding the true nature of light, so that even when forced to rely on poor photographic references, I know what to modify. Painting (and celebrating) light remains my passion to this day.

COVER STORY My work can be viewed at katherine-taylor.com. The galleries that represent me include Tumalo Art Co (Bend), Hood Avenue Art (Sisters) and Going To The Sun Gallery (Whitefish, Montana).

Linus Pauling Gallery Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon 61980 Skyline Ranch Rd. 541-385-3908 • uufco.org Featuring Pandemic Portraits — From Masks to Hugs.

Artist Paul Alan Bennett has created a series of fascinating monotypes for his book Pandemic Portraits, 2021. Paul said; “Besides offering protection, the masks were awkward to wear, sometimes unintentionally funny or mysterious. I began taking pictures of people wearing their masks and turning them into monotypes at Studio 6000—a print studio in Sisters, Oregon. Since most of the face was covered, it gave me an opportunity to reveal their personalities through my own imaginative interpretation.”

Looking back on these times, with his ever lighter perspective, Paul is now focused on our need for “Hugs.” His Hug Portraits began right after the vaccine made them temporarily possible, for a fleeting time, before Delta, followed by Omicron caused people to retreat again. Paul calls this the “Self Hug Period;” “This is a time when we need to find stability and comfort within our own selves.”

The Art Resource Team proudly invites you a wonderful showing of Paul’s Pandemic Portraits, along with some great Hug Portraits, in our Linus Pauling Gallery.

Eric Jacobsen is a Plein Air painter. He takes his oils wherever he goes, setting up on site, working until his painting is finished.

T

he husband and wife team of Jeff and Heather Thompson have been creating beautiful blown glass together for two decades. Their colorful sea creatures and tall striped vases are sold in several galleries all over the US and business boomed during the pandemic. Their work is showcased in March at Red Chair Gallery.

The Thompsons’ collaboration has been a key to their success. “We work as a team on all our projects,” says Jeff. “We both have an easy-going nature and we enjoy working together,” he explains, noting that he and his wife employ an “unspoken type of communication” when creating their glass pieces.

After Jeff graduated from Bend Senior High School, he attended the University of Oregon, where he took a course in making glass beads and marbles.

That whetted his appetite for more glass making skills and he later studied at Pratt Fine Arts Center and the Pilchuck Glass School (founded by Dale Chihuly and others) in the Seattle area. He then traveled to different glass making shops to work and gain more experience. About a year after he began blowing glass on his own, wife Heather began to work with him. Her role has grown ever since.

Working with blown glass requires a variety of skills — scientific knowledge of the chemical changes in the glass making process, physical strength and dexterity to manipulate the hot glass and impeccable timing to complete all the required steps. Not to mention the technical knowledge and mechanical ability to set up a glass blowing studio.

Originally, the Thompsons had their studio in Corvallis but moved to Bend in 2005 to be nearer to family. Jeff built all of the equipment in their studio, including a Crucible Furnace, a Glory Furnace and the Annealing Lehr (kiln).

The process starts with the Crucible Furnace, which holds up to 350 pounds of clear glass at 2100 degrees and is the source for the molten clear glass. The artist grabs a glob of hot glass on a metal rod from the Crucible Furnace and then works it into a shape and colors in the Glory Furnace, which reaches 2,300 degrees. Finished work is loaded into the kiln and held at 900 degrees. At the end of the day this kiln gradually cools down, preventing the glass from cracking.

The Thompsons have a particular affinity for making sea creatures: gliding sea turtles, flamboyant octopuses, subtly shaded trout, and cresting dolphins. Jeff attributes this to the fact that glass is very like water.

“It flows and glistens and reflects light like water.” But they also make tall striped Gessato vases and stylish tumblers with murrini patterned glass. Their pastelcolored roosters and hens in multiple sizes have been popular at Red Chair.

The Thompsons’ sea life pieces are sought after at several galleries in coastal areas, including California, Florida, New Hampshire and Hawaii. They are also represented at Icefire Glassworks gallery in Cannon Beach, and the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver.

Filled with fabulous florals, landscapes, animals and exotic scenes, Jacqueline’s journals provide a place where she can play, try out new ideas and embellish pages with mixed media. Her experimentation has led her to a variety of ways to combine watercolor with pen and ink. Some artists first draw with permanent ink and then paint over the drawing with washes of color. She prefers creating her painting first, then add ink lines at the very end of the process. This technique allows opportunities to create interesting organic shapes, modify areas as needed, and to add small details.

It also gives her the freedom to enhance the areas she likes best.

New Perspective for March

by EILEEN LOCK

T

he New Moon on the 2nd is the first of several new beginnings this month. A significant change in relationships on the 3rd has a ripple effect in many places.

Follow your heart on the 5th and step forward into change. Do more listening than talking on the 9th and simply notice what is happening around you.

Dream big on the 13th and realize communication is necessary.

Ask for the change you want on the 17th and be ready to take action right away. The Full Moon on the 18th brings solutions and healing.

Turn a corner on the 19th and be willing to let some parts of your

life be done. The Spring Equinox on the 20th invites you to say “Yes” to new opportunities.

Step outside of your comfort zone on the 22nd and it will bring more change into your life. Say “goodbye” on the 26th as you prepare for new beginnings over the next two days. Decisions made on the 28th require trust and a willingness to let go. The New Moon on the 31st brings an invitation to start something new. Give yourself a pep talk and then go for it!

Troy Pillow’s Zenith

ARTS

Selected for Alpenglow Community Park

A

rt in Public Places (AIPP), Bend Park & Recreation District staff and Bend Park & Recreation Foundation selection committee members have selected Troy Pillow to create the Zenith sculpture at full scale for Alpenglow Community Park.

To garner broad public input, AIPP welcomed public comments online for the first time, increasing the community engagement with new public art in Bend. The selection committee was thrilled to receive comments from over 1,400 people submitting public input (online or in-person) on which sculpture they’d like to see in the new park. Comments from the public included, “I like the simplicity that you sense the connection to landscape, tress and rivers,” and “I like that it is a bit more abstract and open to interpretation.”

“I am honored and excited to be selected for the public sculpture opportunity for Alpenglow Park,” said artist Troy Pillow. “The intention for the design was to create a work that has a symbiotic relationship with the natural environment with its simple reaching shapes and natural patina finish.”

“We are so pleased to see the increased community engagement through our addition of the online comments,” said Romy Mortensen, AiPP president. “Having the three sculpture finalists on display at the new Larkspur Community Center was also a benefit in providing additional opportunities for community members to engage with the art.”

The sculpture will be in an area west of the event pavilion, directly adjacent to the park’s central pathway. This open area can be seen from various vantage points throughout the park, and the sculpture is envisioned as becoming a focal point for everyone enjoying the park which is expected to open in late spring 2022.

“Once installed, park users will really appreciate the scale, materials and meaning behind Zenith,” said Ian Isaacson, BPRD landscape architect and project manager. “This sculpture will work harmoniously with both the built and natural features of Alpenglow Park and I am excited that the public will be able to enjoy it in this setting.”

The sculpture selected will be included in the public art collection for Bend Park & Recreation District.

Funding for public art in Bend is made possible by the Bend Foundation, a nonprofit founded and funded by Brooks Scanlon and Brooks Resources Corporation. Art in Public Places is a nonprofit organization that provides art to various locations throughout the city of Bend. artinpublicplaces.org

New Leadership Marks Exciting Next Chapter for Growth & Impact Across Oregon

aldera Arts today announced Kimberly Howard Wade as its new executive director to lead the awardwinning nonprofit that provides inclusive, yearround arts and environmental programming to youth in Portland and Central Oregon.

Kimberly’s two decades of leadership and experience in arts education, social impact and community building will help supercharge Caldera’s commitment to creativity.

“I have a deep understanding of what arts learning can do for youth in developing their voice and sense of becoming for themselves,” said Wade. “This feels like a real coming home to the arts and it’s a true honor to continue a legacy that’s been transforming the way Oregon young people engage in their lives, families and communities.”

Kimberly joins Caldera with a wealth of experience from a career across public, private and nonprofit sectors. Prior to Caldera, she served as Portland General Electric’s director of Project Zero, the social impact initiative that empowered the next generation to create cleaner, greener, more equitable communities. She also supported the Oregon Cultural Trust in their effort to provide grants and funding to arts, humanities and heritage organizations, allowing them to stabilize and expand. Additional experience includes managing director for Portland’s Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center and education/outreach director for the Artists Repertory Theater. She frequently advocates for arts learning in education in her role as Chair for the Oregon State Board of Education and also serves on the Board of Directors for the Portland Playhouse. Kimberly holds an MFA in Theater from Columbia University.

This leadership move marks an exciting organizational refresh for Caldera that builds on 25 years of exceptional programming, while strengthening their foundation for the future. Like many organizations operating during a global 16 March 2022 | www.CascadeAE.com

health pandemic, Caldera worked diligently to provide many of the same core experiences to young people and artists as they were able to provide pre-COVID, and were quick to pivot and support students at every stage, including remote and in-person. In 2021, Caldera mentors collaborated with teaching artists and residents to provide over 270 hours of instruction, lead over 200 classes, and make around 400 outreach calls to youth. Caldera also plans to host its Immersion and Discovery experiences for students this summer at the Arts Center on Blue Lake.

Caldera Arts’ Board of Directors added, “Kimberly has proven leadership in developing impactful programs and community building

with a creative and financial acumen. She brings to Caldera a wealth of experience in leadership, nonprofit management, resource development and community engagement. We are excited that she has accepted this position to lead Caldera 2.0.”

Looking ahead this year, Caldera will invite its communities from both sides of the Cascade range to the Arts Center in Sisters, June 10-12, for the Hearth Fest. This marks a community-building weekend of art, nature and immersive exploration for anyone looking to experience a small part of what Caldera youth have been experiencing for 25 years. Tickets will be made available soon.

“We hope you will join us in June at the Arts Center to see and experience, in person, the magic of this transformative place,” added Kimberly.

Kimberly officially started in the executive director role at Caldera Arts in January.

About Caldera Caldera’s mission is to be a catalyst for the transformation of youth through innovative year-round arts and environmental programs.

Caldera’s programs nurture creativity and ignite self-expression, transforming the way that youth engage in their lives, families and communities.

Caldera Arts was founded by Dan Wieden and his family in 1996 as an arts and environmental summer camp in the mountains. The idea was to bring young people with limited opportunities together with talented creative professionals to make art and be in relationship with the natural world. Turns out it was a pretty good idea. Those who said they couldn’t draw or write or had no rhythm found out they were actually creative and those who never got to hike mountains or swim in lakes found themselves immersed in new experiences each day.

And for nearly 25 years, the power of creativity has transformed Caldera from a small summer camp to a thriving year-round community enriching thousands of lives every year. calderaarts.org

Rodney Marsalis A Trumpeter Without Borders

MUSIC

by STEPHAN LEE

A

child of New Orleans, Rodney Marsalis grew up in an environment that transcended borders. A port city, New Orleans had a constant flow of people from different countries, creating a rich culture of history, music, food and architecture. Marsalis spent his young years soaking up this rich environment while beginning his musical studies at the age of six. When he was eleven, he began taking classical trumpet lessons with his cousin, Wynton Marsalis, and made his solo debut at the age of fifteen with the New Orleans Symphony. Marsalis graduated from the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and received a fellowship to attend the Tanglewood Music Center, where he was awarded the Seiji Ozawa Award for Outstanding Musicianship.

Following graduation, Marsalis joined the San Diego Symphony, soaking in the California sun and roller-blading through Mission Bay between performances. During one of his practice sessions at U.C. San Diego, he met Isabelle Senger, Executive Director of High Desert Chamber Music (HDCM). Their friendship formed quickly and they became roommates while living and performing together in the San Diego Symphony.

Marsalis then took his talent across the Atlantic joining the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife and the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya. He performed across Europe in countries such as France, Spain, Germany, England and others.

After years of crossing European borders, Marsalis made the decision to return to the U.S. Considering his next steps, Marsalis recalled the counsel of Ellis Marsalis, the patriarch of the musical Marsalis family. Ellis had long believed that Marsalis should start his own group incorporating the influence of his unique talent and life experience. This group came to be known as The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass (RMPBB), a group that reflects the diverse makeup of men and women in the American culture.

Experience a truly unique connection between audience and performers with the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass, including a special collaboration on stage with HDCM Executive Director and violinist Isabelle Senger on Saturday, April 9, at 7:30pm.

This concert is brought to you by Mission Building & Renovation, and presented by the Tower Theatre Foundation in partnership with High Desert Chamber Music. Tickets are available through the Tower Theatre box office.

Come hear the music!

T

This includes masterclasses and workshops you don’t want to miss if you’re looking to up your piano game.

“Do not miss our fourth annual Piano Showcase if you want to be swept away by the magic of piano. If you teach music, have aspirations of becoming a pianist or simply love listening to music, this is the event for you,” explains Meagan Iverson, executive director of Sunriver Music Festival. “Our workshops offer the public a rare opportunity to witness music teachers and students learn from four piano masters.”

Pianist Michael Allen Harrison (founder of Portland’s popular Ten Grands concert series) orchestrates the weekend with guest artists Mac Potts, Colleen Adent and Andrea Johnson. The weekend emphasizes the uniqueness of blending genres and the virtuosity of all four performers. The schedule for Saturday workshops and masterclasses includes: • How to Practice, Polish and Perform Masterclass. Pro tips on how to learn a piece from scratch, what to do next and how to take it to a professionallevel performance with Michael Allen Harrison and Colleen Adent.

• Improvisation Masterclass: Three Perspectives. Expert improvisers in multiple genres, the guest artists will each give their unique perspective as students perform. Saturday will also include an improvisation workshop and even more performances from the piano masters with Michael Allen Harrison, Colleen Adent and Mac Potts.

• Classical Masterclass: Dr. Andrea Johnson. Andrea Johnson is Assistant Professor of Piano Pedagogy at the University of Northern Iowa. Andrea obtained her Doctor of Musical Arts in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at the University of Oklahoma and also holds degrees from University of Oregon (Masters in Piano Pedagogy) and Portland State University (Bachelors of Musical Arts in Performance).

• Workshop: Improvisation for Classical, Jass, Blues and Pop. Raise your level of creativity in the moment in a jam session (yes, a jam session) with Mac, Michael and Colleen.

• Musical Conversations Forum. Saturday workshops end with the popular “Musical Conversations” forum. All four pianists will engage in an open conversation with the participants. This 30-minute session has proven over the past three years to be a great time to conclude the day’s abundance of music and kick off into the closing concert later that evening.

The Saturday night concert features collaborations with Michael Allen Harrison, Andrea Johnson, Colleen Adent and Mac Potts and even more amazing solo performances (Friday night’s concert is a completely different

This interactive two-day event runs April 1-2 at Bend’s Tower Theater. You can attend all events or just one or both of the evening concerts. For tickets and details, visit sunrivermusic.org or email information@sunrivermusic.org.

Sisters Folk Festival has been producing world-class music festivals and events since 1995. ARTA is a nonprofit corporation, founded in 1963 that donates its profits to conservation organizations, helping to protect our nation’s wild rivers for future generations to enjoy.

The partnership with ARTA and SFF is a natural fit, and we’re thrilled to bring some of the best folk and Americana musicians along for the ride. It’s a one-of-a-kind, magical, musical, mind-blowing experience on the already incredible Wild and Scenic Rogue River. It’s a confluence made in heaven!

instrumentalist songwriter describes the workshop setting as “a welcoming place to find inspiration and carve out time to write and share and make music.” A student from the last workshop that Jenner facilitated shared, “We learned so many ways to approach songwriting and every single person wrote songs — beginners like me and professional musicians! Life changing and super fun! I highly recommend it!”

The suggested fee for the five-week session is $150 but registrants will be able to select an amount that is based on what they can afford when they register.

Sisters Folk Festival Announces Educational Offerings for Spring & Summer

S

isters Folk Festival has announced its slate of educational offerings planned for this spring and summer, including a weekly songwriting class in March and five week-long summer creativity camps for kids.

Beginning March 1, Sisters resident and musical artist Jenner Fox will offer A Song a Week Songwriting Workshop, a five-week course taking place on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8pm at the Sisters Artworks building. This will be a small group workshop limited to just ten participants.

Registrants are asked to come prepared to write songs, share and dig deep for inspiration.

Participants will write from prompts, explore individual “taste,” dissect favorite songs, share originals and support one another in their musical journeys. All genres of music are welcome, and some level of musical experience is encouraged.

Jenner Fox, who tours the world as a river guide, guitar player and multi-instrumentalist songwriter, describes the workshop setting as “a welcoming place to find inspiration and carve out time to write and share and make music.” A student from the last workshop that Jenner facilitated shared, “We learned so many ways to approach songwriting and every single person wrote songs — beginners like me and professional musicians! Life changing and super fun! I highly recommend it!”

Registration for A Song A Week opened February 2; the suggested fee for the five-week class is $150, but registrants will be able to select an amount that is based on what they can afford when they register.

In the summer of 2022 SFF will once again offer Creativity Camps for middle school-aged students that will include music, visual art and general creativity. From July 11-15, Joe Schulte, mandolin player and bandleader from Moon Mountain Ramblers and String Theory Music School in Bend, will offer the Seed to Sprout Music Camp for players with minimal previous music experience on their chosen acoustic instrument. Joe will teach the students songs that can be played with the most basic common chords with short, easy-to-learn melodies to memorize. This session is open to students going into grades 5-8.

Then, over the week of August 1-5, Schulte will offer the Branch to Fruit Music Camp for players who are comfortable on their acoustic instrument and relatively fluid in the common major and minor chords found in popular music. This camp will break out into some small group ensemble sessions in which two-four players will work out tunes that may include custom song arrangement, individual solos, harmonies and improvisation. Branch to Fruit is open to students going into grades 6-10.

Judy Fuentes, the art teacher at Sisters Middle school, is planning two

weeks of half-day visual art camps. August 1-5 will be focused on felting and fiber arts, and August 8-12 is primarily centered around watercolor painting and drawing. These week-long camps are open to students going into grades 5-8 with a maximum of 15 participants. Both will be held at Sisters Artworks in the mornings.

August 14-19 will bring songwriter-poet (and winner of the Oregon Book Award for Poetry) Beth Wood together with Judy Fuentes once again to teach The Nature of Expression. This popular creativity camp explores art, music, creative writing and nature. Campers will investigate animals and nature through sounds and color and explore storytelling and self-expression through art, creative writing and music. Each day will include immersive experiences in both visual arts and creative writing, as well as time for reflection and making new friends. The goal of the camp is to have fun with many forms of creative expression through awareness, discovery and play.

This camp is open to students going into grades 5-8 and will be capped at 20 participants.

Registration for the three full-day summer camps opens March 2 and all three opportunities will offer the option to “pay what you can afford” at registration, with scholarship support available through SFF. No student will be turned away for inability to pay. Details about registration for the half-day camps are forthcoming.

Kenny Chesney & Nine Inch Nails

T

to Play Hayden Homes Amphitheater

he big announcements just keep on coming — we’ve got two nights of Kenny Chesney coming this summer, July 19 and 20; and Nine Inch Nails on September 9.

While eight-time Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney is known for his stadium shows, performing to more than a million fans each summer of touring, leading The Wall Street Journal to deem him “The King of the Road,” the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee is equally taken with the intimacy and under-thestars feeling of every summer.

“There is something about amphitheaters that creates an immediacy that is so intimate,” Chesney says. “The energy is very different from a stadium show, and it almost opens the songs up in completely different ways. It’s pretty cool to feel that difference between the two kinds of venues, but I can tell you: both are absolutely the greatest sensations in the world.

“Whether it’s a stadium full of people screaming Noise at the top of their lungs or When The Sun Goes Down, or being quieter on You & Tequila, or seeing all the lighters and cell phone lights out

on the lawn at an amphitheater as people sing that first chorus of Anything But Mine, you can sense how much these songs mean to people, and it’s incredible.”

“I never thought we’d be away from No Shoes Nation for three years,” he continues. “Now that we finally have the chance to spend the summer together again, I really wanted to provide as many opportunities as possible for everyone to come out and celebrate the music with us; the sense of community and the way we all feel so alive when we’re together celebrating what we love. Whether stadiums or amphitheaters, I can’t wait to see my favorite people in the world.”

Nine Inch Nails Nine Inch Nails announced a series of U.S. shows — its first outing since 2018’s acclaimed COLD AND BLACK AND INFINITE tour.

The headline run will kick off on April 28 at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina and include a two-night-stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado (September 2 and 3).

The tour will wrap up on September 24 with a special show in Cleveland, where Trent Reznor

founded the band in 1988. Nine Inch Nails was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, headquartered in Cleveland, in 2020. Ministry and Nitzer Ebb — fellow pioneers of the industrial music movement — will join Nine Inch Nails as special guests at Cleveland’s Blossom Music Center for the exclusive, one-night-only event.

Special guests for the other dates will be announced shortly. Nine Inch Nails will also headline Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta and Primavera Sound in Los Angeles. See below for itinerary.

Reviews of Nine Inch Nails’ 2018 tour were stellar. Hailing the show as “an extra-sensory marvel,” The Washington Post said, “Reznor and company delivered, pummeling eardrums from behind a curtain of smoke and strobe lights.”

Vulture observed, “In concert, Nine Inch Nails is dizzying, prickly, sensual…The possibilities are endless.” Brooklyn Vegan noted, “[it’s] the kind of show that can give you a psychedelic, out of body experience, a total sensory overload (hypnotic light show included).” bendconcerts.com

Tickets Now Available for Sunriver Stars’ Production of

The Odd Couple (Female Version)

G

et ready for some hilarious shenanigans and friendly mishaps as Unger and Madison take to the stage in Sunriver. Florence Unger and Olive Madison that is, as Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) presents Neil Simon’s widely successful comedy, The Odd Couple (Female Version). The production will take place at 7pm on March 4, 5, 10 and 11 and at 2pm on March 12 at The DOOR in Sunriver.

Approximate run time is 2 hours, 20 minutes, and the play is directed by Ron Pugh.

In this version of the 1960s classic play, movie and show of the same name, the lead characters are transformed into two women and their group of girlfriends enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night, rather than guys’ night and poker. Like the original, the two main characters couldn’t be more different and when they become roommates, the opposites clash.

“I am excited to do this play because it takes me back to a time in life when everything was much simpler,” said Pugh. “Watching the original Odd Couple on TV each week was always a hoot! I’m also proud to be first to bring live theater back to the Sunriver community. It’s been a long drought, and I’m thrilled to be part of getting ‘normal’ back.”

The cast is fairly evenly split between theater veterans such as Susan Quesada, as well as newcomers, plus two different real-life married couples. Rick and Gayle LaHusen are one of those — Rick was cast simply because he brought his wife to the audition and ended up being the only male in the room, and nailed the lines, Pugh said.

“It’s a Neil Simon classic so, of course, it’s very funny and clever,” said Quesada, who plays Olive. “What is really great about it is every character has numerous funny lines. It’s not like other plays where only the key players get to do or say funny stuff — everyone gets the chance to hear laughter after they speak, which is always thrilling for an actor, especially the newbies.”

Tickets run $17 for adults, $12 for youth 18 and under, and are available at sunriverstars.org. SSCT will continue its 10th anniversary season in June with Mamma Mia! The Secret of the Spoon, a dinner theater-style show, and will conclude in the fall with an all-ages production of OZ, co-directed by Kristy and SSCT President, Michele Hans.

Health Policy Update Proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test will no longer be required to attend as previously stated.

CENTRAL OREGON EXHIBITS

The Museum at Warm Springs 2189 U.S. 26 • 541-553-3331 • museumatwarmsprings.org Visitors to The Museum at Warm Springs will experience firsthand the sounds of ancient songs and languages, the mastery of traditional craftsmen and the sights of rich and colorful cultures that make up the Confederated Tribes of The Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. Their histories and traditions are told in an exciting, permanent, interactive exhibit, bringing to life the fascinating story of the Tribes.

In 1968, the tribal leadership and community recognized that private collectors and off-reservation institutions were buying much of their material culture. Soon thereafter, the Tribes began to allocate $50,000 per year for the purchase of artifacts from individual tribal members and families of the Warm Springs community. More than $1.5 million has been expended to date.

In addition, the Museum’s archives boasts 2,500 photographs dating from the 1850’s to the present. The final component of the archive consists of important tribal documents and many books on a wide range of subjects on American Indian history, art and culture.

The collections of the museum are rotated throughout the year.

So, when you visit you may see an entire new display in the gallery.

The dream of a tribal collection for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon began over four decades ago.

Redmond/Terrebonne

LTA Gallery 611 NE Jackpine Ct., #3, Redmond 541-316-0362 • darrenklingart.net LTA is an aviation acronym that stands for Lighter Than Air, referring to aircraft that are able to float in aerostatic equilibrium such as a hot air balloon. Darren Kling is an Aeronaut, also known as a hot air balloon pilot.

For nearly 30 years flying balloons has been Darrens’ profession and during this time he’s also been making art. “The ongoing expression of flying balloons and making art has been the consistent thread my life has followed.

Since the beginning I’ve searched out ways to show the connection between these two seemingly separate activities. For me, flying balloons is an art form in every way, and I’ve always challenged myself to show how these two expressions can overlap, merge, and provide perspectives that I would never have otherwise.”

LTA Gallery is a project by Darren which now incorporates his two passions into a space where his artwork can be viewed and the “art of flight” experienced. Darrens’ artwork is primarily landscape based, rendered with a fluid and abstract style, he works in various mediums including oil, acrylic, ink, as well as reclaimed wood pieces.

Come Interact with Creators of Fine Art

S

by DENI PORTER

ince artists at the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver located in the Village work retail sales in the store (the Gallery has no employees), visitors are treated to fun interactions with the creators of the fine art.

Many of the artists have been with the Gallery since its beginning in 2011.

Please stop by anytime to chat, or mark your calendar for the Gallery’s Second Saturday Celebration on Saturday March 12 from 4-6pm, when many of the artists are in attendance serving wine, beer and other goodies to enjoy along with the art.

This month we are featuring two very special contributors at the Gallery.

When you meet them, you will discover the awesome connection they have to their creations.

Karla Proud, fine jewelry artist creates jewelry using natural Oregon gemstones. This month Proud is featuring natural Blue Opal from Eastern Oregon near the Owyhee River. “I have been lucky to have a source for this exquisite material,” said Proud. “He has permission to mine on a private ranch property, and I purchase the rough material from him. I’ve seen other blue opals from Oregon, but nothing like this quality and clarity and color!” Proud has owned six fine jewelry stores over a 40-year span, so she has accumulated quite a collection of designs and molds (and stories).

Like all the artists at the Gallery, she loves to talk about her materials and techniques.

Painter Marjorie Cossairt is one of the most popular artists at the Gallery.

She works in multiple mediums, and each of her pieces have a truly special quality. Her painting, Autumn Serenity, shows an ethereal scene from nature with leaves and ferns and hidden in the flora is a beautiful little hummingbird that has a special place in Cossairt’s heart. The artist found the little guy at death’s door and nursed him back to health over a multiple day period. Now he comes to visit her in her yard. Come by the Gallery on March 12 and hear the entire story.
