Wednesday, March 22, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 13 Casey Gardder paidtidg selected for MOTH poster By Jodi Schneider McNamee Correspondent The organizers for Sisters Folk Festival’s annual My Own Two Hands Community Arts Celebration (MOTH) have chosen the poster art for the 2017 event. “We received some amaz- ing donations to choose from this year,” said Sisters Folk Festival’s Development Director Katy Yoder. Casey Gardner’s piece, “Follow Your Bliss,” cap- tured a sense of whimsy, pos- sibility and adventure that opens the door to imagina- tion. Gardner has a penchant for vintage Volkswagen buses and made that the subject of her painting. “I wanted to pick a sub- ject that stirs up emotion in me. There’s something magi- cal about the old classic VW buses. It represents a sweet and simple way to spend time with family, friends and nature,” Gardner told The Nugget. “If those old buses could talk, the stories they would share would be magi- cally magnificent. Just like in real life they would have bumps and bruises along the way. But when they are parked they always have open doors inviting the next adventure.” Gardner added The Three Sisters Mountains and a col- orful display of wildflowers for the background. “I painted in fun little throw pillows, wispy cur- tains and a peace sign inside the VW and the Follow Your Bliss quote. It was all a part of my vision.” I wanted to pick a subject that stirs up emotion in me. There’s something magical about the old classic VW buses. — Casey Gardner Born and raised in Portland, Gardner was influ- enced by art in high school. She attended Southern Oregon University and majored in communications and minored in art. “I started painting in col- lege and haven’t stopped since,” Gardner said. You can find her bright colorful artwork at The Cottonwood Café and Angeline’s Bakery & Café. Gardner will be participat- ing in a contemporary land- scape art show for the 4th Friday Art Stroll on March 31 at Clearwater Gallery, where she works part-time as a server. Friday was the last day for intake of donated MOTH art, which will be auctioned as part of the Sisters Folk Festival’s major fundraiser. SFF managing director Ann Richardson was on hand collecting the generous dona- tions. The organizers for SFF make a huge effort for the art- ists that donate their work. “Folks have been slowly delivering their artwork for nearly a month now. We usu- ally take in over 100 pieces of art for the MOTH auc- tion,” Richardson said. “And about one third of that art is on exhibit at Sisters Art Works for a show that runs through the Friday before the MOTH event on May 13. We jury and photograph the art, organize it, and catalogue it. SCIATICA? Quick and affordable relief. Auto accidents, workman’s comp. accepted.
