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.
