Sisters Arts Association Fourth Friday Art Stroll

Correspondent
Oh, the weather’s hot, but
the arts are so cool! Check
out your favorite artist in one
of the galleries during the
Fourth Friday Art Stroll, July
28, from 4 to 7 p.m. Then on
Saturday, July 29, drop in at
one of the artist’s studios on
the first Artist Studio Tour,
sponsored by the Sister Arts
Association (see related
story, page 3).
Twigs Gallery is featur-
ing the works of artist Judy
Hoiness. For the last 50
years, Hoiness has painted
either on paper or canvas.
Now she is combining vin-
tage and recycled textiles
with drawing and painting,
on paper or canvas. Recycled
textiles provide seams, raw
edges, wrinkles and button-
holes that enhance her art
in a way drawing and paint-
ing alone cannot. The three
ongoing series in the show
are Abstract Landscapes, Mt.
Bachelor, Keeper of Secrets,
and Save a Spot for Wildlife.
Entering The Jewel on
Cascade Avenue is always a
memorable experience. An
Oregon destination for 27
years, The Jewel’s powerful
visual impact blends dozens
of jewelry artists with amaz-
ing architectural alabaster
solid stone, crafted into func-
tional art and lighting. The

Three Sisters, from mountain
scenes to pine trees, petite
but substantial sterling sil-
ver at prices even we cannot
believe!
Hood Avenue Art features
the work of Winnie Givot
and Mitch and Michelle
Deaderick. Givot is a highly
skilled watercolorist whose
many different subjects
reflect the beauty she sees
with the eye of her heart. The
Deadericks have been adding
natural carvings, stones and
crystals to their artistic and
functional ceramics for more
than 30 years.
