Well-known Sisters pas-
tel artist Norma Holmes
is exhibiting through the
month of May at Crossroads
Carnegie Art Center in Baker
City.
Holmes is the featured art-
ist in the exhibition “Land
– Escapes on Oregon’s
Eastside.”
“With my pastels I have
traveled and painted many
breathtaking scenes en plein
air, a method used by today’s
contemporary landscape
painters as a means of inter-
preting the life, lay, and light
of the land with expressive
energy,” Holmes said. “My

of nature nurtures artistic
expression.”
The art will be on display
and available for purchase
through Saturday, May 30.
