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

lection of authentic Native
