Wednesday, July 20, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 5 Fourth Friday Art Stroll By helen Schmidling Correspondent It’s time to break out the wine, the lemonade, the snacks, and the animated conversation for the Fourth Friday Art Stroll through Sisters’ truly unique galler- ies. The stroll is from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, July 22, and most galleries will be open. Sisters Arts Association’s new Gallery Walk Maps are avail- able in each of the galleries, or online at www.sistersarts association.org/contact/. Hood Avenue Art is fea- turing mixed-media artist Patricia Freeman-Martin and book artist Kelley Salber. Both share an interest in the narrative and symbolic, as well as a love of paper. Drop in and sign up for upcoming workshops, Introduction to Pastels on Aug. 10, and Vino Van Gogh Watercolors and Oils, on Aug. 17. At Twigs Gallery, fabrics are used for drawing, paint- ing, printing and embellish- ing, making for a very ver- satile medium, as a wearable piece of art or a wall hanging or vessel. Christina Brown says the world has enough hard edges, so she feels fiber art softens that impact. Mary Goodson layers sheer dyed silks and stitching to cre- ate texture and depth. Terry Grant creates wall art using commercial and recycled fabrics with quilting and sur- face design techniques. Laura Jaszkowski uses the raw edge appliqué method, free-motion quilting and mixed media. Clearwater Gallery’s featured artists are Garth Wi l l i a m s a n d A m a n d a Houston, from 4 to 6 p.m. Williams’s impressionistic oil paintings embody the out- door way of life. Houston is primarily a pastel painter who dabbles in oils; her pieces capture dramatic landscapes and stunning moments. Sisters Gallery and Frame Shop celebrates the ever- popular work of Paul Alan Bennett, including a vin- tage painting, “Icarus On The Metolius,” from 2003. “Icarus” was the first time Bennett came up with a name before creating the paint- ing. By special arrangement “Icarus” is being re-sold with proceeds to go to the Sisters Library. Find fun and whimsy at Alpenhimmel’s Pop-Up Gallery: colorful, naive paint- ings by Charity Alva; quirky assemblage art by Terri Smith and Justine Gibb and Laurie Santa Maria’s mosaic jew- elry. A portion of the artists’ proceeds will be donated to support Circle of Friends in Sisters. Join Kathy Deggendorfer at Studio Redfield, celebrat- ing Kathy’s Dog Show. Redfield will be showing Kathy’s vibrant, original paintings that inspired the whimsical tile line of cheerful dogs: trivets, wall hangings, treat boxes, house numbers, etc. At Imagination Gallery, Ken Scott introduces three major castings in bronze, and several freshly hammered, flame-cut, steel lamps. Of course, he always offers lively discussions on his approach to art and philosophy of life. Gary Cooley’s Collection Gallery will spotlight the landscape photography of Lisa Belt. Lisa has a unique way of capturing the essence and the beauty of the scene. Joining the Fourth Friday Gallery Walk this month is Raven Makes Gallery at 182 E. Hood Ave. Owners Chris Morin and LaRita Chapman invite you to browse the col- lection of authentic Native American art and craft that explores the theme of cul- tural identity, from traditional origins to contemporary perspectives.
