Although most of my recent landscapes are snapshots of our beautiful Oregon Coast, my latest landscape is a painting of Oregon’s Rogue River, known for its salmon runs, whitewater rafting, and rugged scenery. And now I am pleased to announce that Rogue River I was selected for the 2013 Oregon Artist Showcase at the Chehalem Cultural Center. This juried exhibition, entitled “Inside Outside – The Space Between,” will present a variety of diverse and engaging works of art that explore the environment and spaces around us.
Since my landscape paintings personalize environmental awareness and explore the relationship between the viewer and their surrounding natural environment, Rogue River I is a perfect addition to a show emphasizing nature, ecology, personal, and internal spaces as well as space and time and the places/spaces between.
The show runs January 15 – February 22, 2013 with a First Friday ArtWalk artists reception Friday, February 1, 5-8 pm.
