Fourth Friday Art Stroll
By helen Schmidling
Correspondent
With just two weeks until
the Sisters Folk Festival,
you have your tickets, right?
No? Well, the Sisters Arts
Association has a quick-draw
prize for you!
This month, thanks to an
anonymous donor, the Fourth
Friday Art Stroll is pleased
to offer two all-event passes
to the Sisters Folk Festival,
September 9-11. Just come
out to visit the galleries of
Sisters on Friday, August 26,
between 4 and 7 p.m., and
sign up to win. One signup
per gallery.
Come and enjoy an eve-
ning filled with art, wine and
artistic company. Gallery
maps are available in all of the
galleries.
In keeping with the Quick
Draw theme of Folk Festival,
Sisters Gallery & Frame
Shop will be featuring Dennis
McGregor’s “Hot Dogs,”
the original painting that he
created for this year’s festi-
val poster, along with newly
arrived posters available
for sale. Later that evening,
Dennis McGregor and The
Spoilers will play the last of
the Festive Friday summer
concerts at Angeline’s Bakery.
Clearwater Gallery is fea-
turing David Mensing and
Vicki Shuck. David works in
oil with a palette knife to con-
vey an architectural, colorful
and spiritual balance in his
paintings, both large and small
scale. Vicki’s oil paintings
capture the cares and joys of
life, using textures and colors
that make each vignette rec-
ognizable to all. Both David
and Vicki will be on hand to
talk about their newest work.
Twigs Gallery is proud
to represent three Central
Oregon textile artists: Sheila
Finzer, Carol Webb, and Sarah
Kaufman, each with a unique
view of the landscape and his-
tory of Central Oregon. Sheila
paints the landscape on fab-
ric, and then adds detail and
texture. Carol interprets the
landscape with an abstract
approach using strong line-
work and her own hand-
dyed fabric. Sarah begins
each piece using a traditional
folded log-cabin quilt block,
using batiks, commercially
printed and hand-dyed fabrics,
and embellishes it with found
objects.
At Alpenhimmel Creative
Arts Emporium, enjoy the
whimsical artwork of Charity
Alva inspired by her life in
Germany, assemblage art by
Terri Smith, and collage work
by Justine Gibbs. Consider
contributing to the Kareng
Fund, a nonprofit group
helping support Oregon art-
ists in need, presented by
Alex Lanham of Portland. A
Sennelier watercolor demon-
stration will start at 4 p.m.
Hood Avenue Art features
pastel and oil artist Kathleen
Keliher and jewelers Elyse
and Steven Douglas. Kathleen
takes inspiration from Central
Oregon vistas for her paint-
ings; the Douglases excel in
crafting original Oregon sun-
stone jewelry designs.
“Sisters Cradle,” an origi-
nal wall sculpture designed
and produced by Kenneth
Scott, is at The Imagination
Gallery. Due to the actual
metal preparation, finish-
ing, and flame coloring, each
piece is one-of-a-kind. The
final touches are dependent
on spontaneous, organic
sequence and actual work-
bench circumstance.
Clint Pettigrew, raised in
Washington, is an avid out-
doorsman. He enjoys hunting,
fishing, and creating beautiful
woodwork. Inspired by the
Early American style, Clint
tries to create this look by dis-
tressing new wood and mate-
rials. Clint now lives in Bend
and displays his woodwork
at Gary Cooley’s Collection
Gallery.
At Studio Redfield, fea-
tured artists Laura Campbell
and Maren Burck are work-
ing on a collaboration of
hand-thrown dishware by
Laura, with original art work
by Maren. They are setting a
splendid table for the art walk.
The Sisters Art Works
Entry Gallery is holding
its annual artists’ reception
benefit for Furry Friends
Foundation. The “Fur &
Feather Show” features artists
Kimry Jelen, Ingrid Lustig,
Kathy Deggendorfer, Mary
Medrano and more.
