Art Stroll October 28
By Helen Schmidling
Correspondent
Halloween is just a few
days away, but the Fourth
Friday Art Stroll through the
galleries of Sisters is a treat,
not a trick. Stop by the galler-
ies this Friday between 4 and
7 p.m. for a look at what’s
new. The holiday season is
coming, and there are many
gift ideas right here in your
neighborhood. Spread the
word: Start your evening with
artists and friends, enjoy light
appetizers, and have fun!
Every month, the Sisters
Arts Association sponsors
a “Quick Draw” for a prize
worth at least $100. This
month, it’s a $100 gift cer-
tificate to Studio Redfield,
known for beautiful and use-
ful objects and modern, inno-
vative paintings. Susanne
Redfield has assembled a
collection of ceramic tile,
glazed pottery, acrylic and oil
paintings, hand-hammered
jewelry, live-edge koa tables,
folk art, master woodcraft,
pen-and-ink illustrations,
and much more. The winner
of this month’s Quick Draw
may use the gift certificate
for anything in the studio. To
enter, just visit as many gal-
leries as you choose between
4 and 7 p.m. and sign up –
just one entry per gallery.
Navigator News is featur-
ing lithography on block by
Wuon Gean Ho, whose work
features Native American
stories about becoming part
of an animal tribe, such as
the buffalo, identifying with
animals and connecting with
them through art, symbolic
ritual, and formal language.
Nature, folk art and magical
realism are the art of Pamela
Kroll, who categorizes her
work as magical realism.
Clearwater Gallery will
be celebrating three-dimen-
sional artists. Wendy Vernon
and Wendy Rickards will
show the newest trends in
jewelry. Bob Bousquet will
bring in new jewelry boxes.
Tricia Biesmann from The
Way We Art will display the
newest scarves and toppers.
Edie Shelton will have plant
sticks and kitchen items.
The Collection Gallery
is excited to welcome well-
known artist Melissa Cole.
Her mixed-media paint-
ings and mosaic sculptures
are filled with vibrant color
and unique, contemporary
designs. Her work is dis-
played in galleries, homes,
businesses and public places
worldwide. Gary and Karen
Cooley invite you to see it
now in Sisters.
At The Imagination
Gallery, Ken Scott’s ham-
mered steel lighting is all
hand-worked. No lasers,
no shortcuts. Scott’s origi-
nal in-house patterns are
made from multiple panels,
drawn and cut out by hand
from flat sheets of metal,
hand-hammered for contour
and welded together before
beginning the flame-cut lace-
work. Beautiful works of art,
like handmade jewelry, you
must see them when the light
is turned on.
Best known for her water-
colors of Native Americans
and their horses, Carol
Grigg is bringing a new col-
lection of vastly different
watercolors to Sisters Gallery
& Frame Shop. Crows,
migrating geese, and their
feathered friends reflect the
dark, subtle colors of late
fall before the snow flies.
Ann Grossnickle of Annelie
Pottery will show new pot-
tery, including yarn bowls
and lavender-pressed and
glazed mugs.
Twigs Gallery is throwing
open its doors to The Doors
Show, featuring doors as por-
tals, thresholds, entrances,
passageways and frames that
inspired 28 Central Oregon
fiber artists. Each artist has
contributed a unique inter-
pretation of a door to this
exhibit.
Hood Avenue Art’s fea-
tured artists are jeweler
and painter Sharon Reed
and watercolor artist Sarah
Hansen. Reed combines tex-
tured sterling with stones
she’s collected from all over
the world. She will also
show her abstract paintings.
Hansen focuses not on paint-
ing perfection, but instead on
illustrating the flaws, mars,
scribbles and textures of life.
Other galleries that will be
open during Fourth Friday are
Beacham’s Clock Company,
Dyrk Godby Gallery, Things
Etc., Raven Makes Gallery,
Grizzly Ridge Upcycle, Cha
for the Finest, Old West
Collectables, The Jewel, Jill
Neal Gallery, Sisters Art
Works and Sisters Library.
Maps are available in all gal-
lery locations.
