step out and support local art-
ists and merchants during the
Fourth Friday Art Stroll, Sept.

Studio on its grand opening.
Wildflower incorporates an
art boutique, artist studios,
and custom picture-framing
shop. The boutique features
local handmade items, and the
frame shop is up and running.
Stop and see Chris Nelson and
Wendy Rickards to discuss art,
jewelry, and framing.
Last month, Sisters Gallery
& Frame Shop featured the
latest of Dennis McGregor’s
original paintings in the
series called “You Stole My
Name.” This month, all
22 of McGregor’s original
paintings (18 of which will
make up a book by the same
name) are on display in the
Sisters Library Community
Room. McGregor launches
his Kickstarter campaign at
the library on Friday, and he
will play and discuss his new
work in the community room
at 7 p.m. All of the paintings
are available for purchase,
and since some have already
been sold, this will be one of
the final opportunities to see
all of them simultaneously.
In the library’s computer
room, Sisters quilters Sharon
Carvalho and Torrie Gordon
display art quilts that reflect
their personal experiences and
individual processes.
This month at Sisters
Gallery & Frame Shop, Paul
Alan Bennett is the featured
artist, with many samples
from his designer clothing
line. Bennett has transformed
many of his most popular
paintings into wearable art:
leggings, shirts, skirts, dresses,
and more.

McCulloch emphasizes qual-
