The arrival of spring invites us to get outside more and explore all that our Central Oregon playground has to offer. For this April issue, we wanted to share some ideas on getting out and about.

Be sure to read about the live music found just a short drive from Sisters at the Suttle Lodge. Their Fireside Series runs each Thursday through the month of May. Catch the sounds of musicians performing by their fireside hearth while enjoying a drink and delicious food in the cozy atmosphere of the Skip Bar. Or if you’d rather stay in town, stop by the Campfire Hotel where you can enjoy live music around the fire pit on Thursdays all year long. Their Canteen Bar takes you to another era with its camp vibes.

This month’s “Local Experiences” feature highlights some great ideas for outings for the perfect staycation. Or, if a getaway to Nashville sounds exciting, see page 30 and enter to win a trip to the Music City, sponsored

by City Lifestyle!

This issue also showcases the work of enamel artist Alisa Looney who creates metal art designed to inspire care for our planet and the human connection to nature.

We hope that the destinations featured this month give you something to dream about, whether you stay close or start venturing out once again.

Here’s to a happy spring full of adventure!

"Folding Into Nature"

ART WITH A HEART FOR THE PLANET ALISA LOONEY USES ENAMEL TO TELL STORIES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

14

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | ARTS + CULTURE

The palette of an enamel artist includes more than colorful paints. Enamel is a medium grounded by the earth, made of compounds like flint, sand, soda or potash. For Alisa Looney, materials such as steel and mica keep her further rooted and inspired to tell the story of caring for the planet.

Alisa fell in love with metal arts as a silversmith in her early years, received a BFA in Design, and began welding in 1998. Enamel, a process by which powdered glass is fused to a metal substrate at high heat, was a way to express the colors and textures of the natural world. The process itself begins with raw materials and requires patience and layering.

As her work evolved, so did her observations about the changing climate and a recognition that her work could have a higher purpose to tell the story of the planet. Enamel is an especially adaptable storytelling medium.

The softness of the fusing lead-free vitreous

"Barefoot"

glass flows atop steel masks and sculptures in a way similar to the way water flows over dense rock of the Deschutes River.

Enamel also allows Looney to merge sculptural design with narrative, and her most recent work explores the human connection to nature and to each other. “I am interested in how we as humans are coping with the environmental and cultural challenges we are facing,” she says. “I am particularly interested in wild free-flowing rivers, the source of all life, and planting trees that provide clean air to breathe.” Her explorations of art, self, and environment led her to create the work “Healing Tree,” inspired by TreeSisters, a UK-based social change and reforestation charity with a mission to plant millions of trees in the tropics to absorb carbon and combat climate change. To date, they have planted more than 22 million trees. Alisa’s other sculptures each hold meaning, including stories about human empowerment and those featuring movement in reference to Alisa’s background as a dancer. She created an ongoing Memory and Gratitude Series to honor life experience through commissioned sculpture.

Since 2018, Alisa and her husband, woodblock artist Wade Womack, have made their home south of Sunriver. Their studio called River Art Adventures is a place where they have offered workshops and inspiration to other artists. Today, her work can be found locally at Red Chair Gallery in Bend, and Hood Avenue Art in Sisters, plus in both private and public collections, such as at the Maryhill Museum of Art in Washington.

THREE QUESTIONS FOR ALISA LOONEY:

ALISA LOONE Y

How do you use your art to tell stories?

“I shape and fabricate metal into open, flowing form, portraying movement and the expression of life. Beginning with sketches, the 3D form is designed while working with heavy paper, creating a model and adjusting the pattern until I find the right balance.

Then it is plasma-cut from steel, ground, hammered into shape, and welded into the final form. I clean and prepare the surface for layers of kiln-fired glass, spraying, drawing, and painting with fine detail, which adds an illustrated story to the sculptural form, creating depth and complexity.

I create a wide array of work, ranging from 6- to 8-foot tall powder-coated public sculptures to tabletop enameled sculptures, wall works, and small pieces of jewelry. I tell stories of what it means to be human, how we connect with and care for this earth and all living beings.

I also enjoy working with clients to tell the life story of a loved one, and to acknowledge the contributions that they have made.”

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | ARTS + CULTURE

What are the current influences on your work today?

“In the process of making, I seek a wild freedom with purpose. I want to remember the unseen mycelium, the seeds, the pollinators, the water, the birds, the salmon. I strive to give back to earth and be a good steward, to give voice to the earth in the form of images leading to restoration. Climate change is my number one concern. I am interested in ecological and social healing and I am committed to partnering with organizations who work toward these goals.

I spend time outside every day I can, observing, drawing, painting, or capturing photos of life and transformation through the seasons. I look for movement and the connection between things growing and changing. I especially find wonder in signs of new life pushing through obstacles, like a baby ponderosa coming up through a rocky lava bed, or signs of life composting, a twisting root slipping into the river, with water swirling, re-absorbing it. I am very interested in capturing movement, a moment in time.

I also engage in an expressive art practice each week with two dancers on zoom. We each embody a concept through movement and drawing. This creates a wealth of material to work with. I often portray the body as deeply immersed in nature, as part of the ecosystem.

A consistent theme is the human body in relation to trees, roots, and the mycelium network that all life depends on.”

What does the intersection between art and environment mean to you?

“I have experienced a deep connection to nature from an early age, growing up on the Spokane River, in Northern Idaho. The living world has been a source of both material and subject matter in my art for as long as I can remember, creating a sense of calm strength.

The earth needs us now, and I want to do my part.

Climate change is moving quickly. The more I study the science, the more urgent it becomes to do everything I can to help mitigate the situation. As an artist, I feel it is my responsibility to communicate messages that inspire care for our planet, to support the planting of trees, and protection of our rivers.

In addition to making studio work and commissions, my husband and I both enjoy teaching students to draw outdoors under our grove of Ponderosa Pines and observe reflections in the water. This allows them to connect to nature on a deeper level, and we hope it might also inspire their own vision of protection and care for the earth.”

Music + Fire CAMP VIBES SET THE BEST TONE FOR MUSIC AROUND A FIRE ARTICLE BY GREGG MORRIS

Since the days of cowboys pushing cattle across the range, listening to music by a campfire has helped smooth over a rough day and take the chill out of a cold night.

Guitars seem to make the fire a little warmer and the campfire makes the music a little sweeter. That tradition still stands today and its legacy is honored throughout Central Oregon.

Music by the Hearth Tucked in the middle of the Deschutes National Forest, The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse hosts their Fireside Music Series most Thursdays, from October through May. Music lovers drive 14 miles northeast of Sisters, Oregon to listen to musicians from across the region perform by the fireside hearth inside the Skip Bar & Restaurant. The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse includes a large timber-framed lodge, lakeside cabins, camp cabins, and boathouse situated on Suttle Lake. Warm weather fun includes boating, fishing, hiking, and biking, while winters host skiing and snowshoeing.

But each fall through spring, the Fireside Music Series invites guests from all over Oregon to stargaze, enjoy a drink and their brand of “cascadian cuisine,” and of course, listen to quality musicianship in a cozy atmosphere. The 2022 series ends with guitarist Marissa Anderson, who is re-imagining the landscape of

American music through blues, jazz, gospel and country music. Reservations are required and ticket prices do vary. Guests staying the night in a cabin or room at the lodge can enjoy the music for free.

TheSuttleLodge.com Music by the Campfire Just east of Downtown Bend, the Campfire Hotel is a newly-renovated, 100room boutique hotel with a courtyard made for intimate music performances.

Anchored by a huge gas-powered fire pit, the Campfire Hotel showcases musicians every Thursday throughout the year.

Framing the performance area is a heated pool, hot tub, the Canteen Bar, and a 10-foot tall wood camp chair. “We’re bringing artists from around Central Oregon and around the world to the Campfire for intimate acoustic performances,” says Stacy Koff of 4 Peaks Presents. “It’s really a warm and welcoming vibe for performers and audiences alike.”

4 Peaks Presents books local, regional, and world-touring artists to perform their music directly to the fans sitting near the cozy fire pit. Upcoming events include the Santa Cruz rock band Coffis Brothers, local Americana guitarist Bill Powers, and Brazilian multi-instrumentalist musician Gustavo Fofao. Situated just north of NE Franklin Avenue, between NE Second and NE Third Streets, the rustic Campfire Hotel CONTINUED >

extends the music tradition by including playable instruments from Dean or Breedlove Guitars that are found in each room. “In my opinion, the setting, the lighting, and the big fire make Campfire Hotel different than other venues in town,” says Powers, whose band Honey Don’t just released its third album Threadbare. “It’s relaxed and even though folks are visiting, it feels intimate.”

Powers loves the campfire experience so much that he is hosting some performances around the fire at his house in West Bend. Like a lot of Central Oregon musicians, he honed his skills picking bluegrass tunes under the moon in late-night, open-air jams. A roaring fire, whether at a lodge or in a backyard, brings people together to settle in and listen or grab their instruments and join the fun.

SEAL THE DEAL

Whether we explore by going outside or enjoy staying in, a home environment is the healthy foundation from where all things take root. The objective of keeping a home clean is the key for happy living, according to the cleaning and decluttering movement started by Marie Kondo. But cleaning goes beyond “things” to the deepest pores of a home—to its grout and hard surfaces. “Our homes are our most significant financial investments,” says Bonnie Flu, of Perma Treat Bend. “We saw how hard surfaces discolor or deteriorate and created permanent solutions for long-term care,” she says. Deep-cleaning with a proprietary high-pressure, high-temperature steam method kills germs and sanitizes a surface, a priority in today’s homes, Bonnie says.

Using nanotechnology, Perma Treat’s permanent sealant works on a molecular level to penetrate stones such as granite, quartz, travertine, ceramic tile, and grout, making it easier to maintain that cleanliness. Here, Bonnie shares tips for sealing the clean deal throughout your home:

PERMA TREAT OFFERS LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS FOR KEEPING HOME SURFACES CLEAN

bathroom

kitchen

Did you know that taking one ten-minute shower each day is equal to over 1,000 inches of rain falling in your shower? That’s a massive long-term impact. While glass and stone may seem hard and smooth to the naked eye, on the microscopic level they contain tiny peaks and valleys where bacteria and dirt live. A high-temperature deep-cleaning process sanitizes surfaces, and creates protection against grime.

The kitchen is the heart of a home. In such a high-use area, kitchen countertops fade and become discolored over time. With deep cleaning, the beauty of natural stone, tile, or grout can be restored, and the high-pressure cleaning leaves those surfaces easier to clean.

Don’t forget to consider your outdoor cooking space. “The key is seeing the difference between what people can do themselves and what a professional can do,” Bonnie says. “It’s really kind of an art.” Perma-TreatBend.com

flooring Sealing your tile and grout is a crucial step to help you keep it clean and stain free. “We use a proprietary sealant that creates an impermeable layer below the surface of porous tile and grout for maximum protection,” says Bonnie.

ARTICLE BY SUE BALDANI

A Survivor Speaks

Voices Hope to Eradicate Human Trafficking Both in Central Oregon and Across the World Andi Buerger, JD, founder of nonprofit Voices Against Trafficking (Voices), has a passion for helping those who have been trafficked. She can well understand their devastating ordeals since she experienced them herself. “My voice as a survivor is important and has some influence, but what if we had more voices?” she says. “That’s the idea behind Voices Against Trafficking.”

While Voices is a national and international presence, it’s heavily vested with a regional presence here in Central Oregon since its inception in January 2020. “We’re not political or religious,” says Andi. “We’re a human rights organization focused on getting the best information, the best ideas, and the best strategies out there to combat trafficking in our neighborhoods.”

Voices produces and creates free international anti-trafficking forums every quarter, which can be seen on Facebook and YouTube. “We discuss how to divert predators and provide greater awareness, prevention, and education,” she says. Andi also just published a book, Voices Against Trafficking - The Strength of Many Voices Speaking as One as another tool

for awareness, prevention, education and to inspire action.

Currently, the nonprofit has a campaign seeking donations to get the book to each member of Congress, every governor, and every attorney general. Another way to help is to visit the Voices Against Trafficking website and click on “Add My Voice.” “Anybody anywhere in the world can add their voice to our roster for free,” says Andi. “We want to get one million names by the end of summer 2023. We can then take those names and continue to influence legislation against trafficking.” The community can support Voices by joining one of its memberships to help keep its programs going, which is critical. “One of the other reasons I speak and do interviews is because I want people to know there’s hope,” she says.

“If someone like me can make it, then really anyone can.”
