Newton’s interest in pho-
tography began with a high
school film class and resulted
in her obtaining her Bachelor
of Fine Arts in photogra-
phy from the University of
Oregon in 2014.
She has had numerous
shows throughout Oregon, as
well as in Texas and Finland.
In 2015, she was selected
to attend the Saari Artist
Residency in Mynamaki,
Finland, and in 2016 Newton
was a resident at the PLAYA
artist residency in Summer
Lake, Oregon. She does
her photography in a range
of formats, from the plant-
based emulsions of anthro-
types to modern digital color
photography.

Garzon Vargas’ work
focuses on children and fam-
ilies around the world. The
pieces currently on display
in the library are large- and
medium-format papercuts,
a technique done by cut-
ting from one continuous
piece of paper where every-
thing is connected and later
paired with a contrasting
underlay.
The portraits come from
the documentary “Girls
Rising,” which features girls
overcoming challenges in
order to pursue education in
various regions of the globe.
The large-format pieces were
inspired by war photographer
Jesus Abad Colorado and his
images of families affected
by the internal conflict in
Columbia.
She said she loves chil-
dren’s literature, is bilingual,
and has written two bilingual
children’s books. When she
is not working at the library,
making art, or reading,
Garzon Vargas enjoys climb-
ing, mountain biking, and
playing with her dog, Luna.

The entryway display
cases hold the magical world
of Kelley Salber’s imagina-
tive miniatures, crafted from
old books and boxes. Salber
said that her propensity is
toward three-dimensional
work, so when she was intro-
duced to the idea of the book
as art, she found it fit her
contemplative personality
and her hands-on, “let’s build
it” approach.
In addition to her minia-
ture worlds, Salber also cre-
ates new blank journals out
of old books, crafts her own
books, as well as builds with
book board and paper.
“I favor books as art for
their portability and because
books tend to lead toward
deeper contemplation. People
are represented in my work
as miniature books because
each one of us has a story
and we are all a good read!”
Salber said.
A native of Montana,
Salber holds a Bachelor
of Science degree from
Montana State University
and is a self-taught artist,
with continuing education
through classes and work-
shops as well as bookbinding
and book building mentoring
from Nebraska artist Rachel
Fox.
“With these miniature
bookcases, I combined a
love of all things miniature
and books. Each has a color
theme and a message mar-
ried to the humorous. These
bookcases draw the observer
to search for the message
and contemplate it just like
searching for titles on a
bookshelf,” said Salber. “The
bookcases are also available
for commission. You pro-
vide the idea, a quote, a color
scheme and I make your cus-
tom bookcase!”
In addition to her work
with books as a sculptural
form, Salber spent most of
her life expressing herself
through watercolor, collage,
and found-object sculpture.
Her work can be found at the
Hood Avenue Art Gallery.
She teaches the art of book-
making in Sisters, as well as
in Bend where she lives with
her husband of over 30 years,
Rich.
Recipient of the 2017
Theme Award from My Own
Two Hands, Salber’s recent
exhibits have included the
Illahe Gallery in Ashland,
the Bend Art Center, The
Tiny Art Show at the Tbd
Loft in Bend, and the
Valley Art Gallery in Forest
Grove.
