Wednesday, September 21, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 5 Fourth Friday Art Stroll set for September 23 in Sisters By Helen Schmidling Correspondent The Fourth Friday Art Strolls continue this Friday throughout the galleries in Sisters. Come out and meet our featured artists, share light refreshments, and socialize with your friends and neigh- bors. Here is a lineup from some featured galleries. Pick up a new gallery walk map at any gallery and get strolling. Be sure to sign up for this month’s quick draw. You can register one time per gallery, so the more galleries you visit, the greater your chances of winning. The prize this month is a $100 gift certificate to Kokanee Café, located in the ponderosa pines of Camp Sherman. This certificate must be used by Oct. 16, Kokanee’s closing date for the season. Clearwater Gallery’s artist opening will feature Randall Tillery, a local plein air painter who melds his love of nature and landscape painting; and Mark Davis, whose love of oil paint lends itself to a relaxed, impressionistic style. Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery will present a rare opportunity to meet Marjie Scott, whose bronze castings, steel wall sculpture, silver jewelry, human portrai- ture and mixed-media abstracts are this month’s feature. Ken will have a new steel garden pergola and a “muddle of mag- nolias” in hammered steel. At Sisters Gallery and Frame Shop, award-win- ning scratchboard artist Jennifer Hartwig will show some of her new work and work in prog- ress. Dennis McGregor’s original Sisters Folk Festival painting, “Hot Dogs,” is still available as well. At the Collection Gallery, Gary Cooley will present Sheryl McCulloch’s fiber art. McCulloch is a designer, knit- ter, and weaver, whose creative spark fired up after taking an “alter-knit” class at Stitchin’ Post. Next to Stitchin’ Post, Twigs Gallery presents “From the Forest,” a new fiber arts show all about trees, featuring the quilts of Sisters resident June Jaeger. Alpenhimmel will host “The Waters of the Metolius,” with the works of artist Stev Ominski. These gorgeous, luminous paintings take our appreciation of the Metolius River to new depths. Hood Avenue Art’s featured artists, from Sept. 20 through Oct. 24, are pastel artist JoAnn Burgess and raku potter Tina Brockway. Burgess creates an exciting journey of the senses in her landscape paintings. Brockway’s ability to trans- form clay into a resounding thing of beauty is unparalleled. Studio Redfield is the home to tables and tableware, hand- crafted boxes, crows, ceramic tile by Kathy Deggendorfer, and colorful abstract paintings by Randy Redfield. At Sisters Art Works, the Journey’s Art Quilt Group is showing “Come To The Edge,” a collection of original artworks inspired by a poem of the same name by Christopher Logue. The show, which will run through Nov. 15, includes work by artists Catherine Beard, Helen Brisson, Judy Beaver, Sheila K. Finzer, Betty Gientke, June Jaeger, Jean Wells Keenan, Charlene Kenny, Tonye Phillips, Donna Rice, Martha Sanders, Marion Shimoda, Mary Stiewig, and Jean McBrien Tetzlaff. Sisters Library has on display a large collection of raptor art, in conjunction with an upcoming lecture by Northwest Naturalist Jim Anderson on September 30.
