Patrons busily but quietly went about their tasks — job-hunting, researching history, or sim- ply checking their email or Facebook. They may not have really noticed the beautiful watercolor paintings hanging right above each workstation, but the rich colors and soft textures lent an atmosphere of calm productivity to their tasks. The Friends of Sisters Library Art Committee covers the library walls with color each month. The artwork on the walls of the computer room this month is by 91-year-old Judy Hayden of Sisters. With the exception of a cheery bouquet of tulips, the paint- ings depict landscape scenes from Upstate New York to California to Oregon, all places where Judy has lived. Born in Brooklyn in 1926, Judy was first intro- duced to watercolors in 1944 at Silver Bay Conference Center on Lake George in the See WATERCOLORS on page 31 Will Saunders during a commercial shoot for Gregory Backpacks in Zion National Park. Sisters graduate capturing the world By Katy Yoder Correspondent Will Saunders knows how to work hard, push limits and say “Yes” — even if it scares him. A 2012 Sisters High School graduate, Saunders appreciated attend- ing a school with classes like the Interdisciplinary Environmental Expedition course (IEE). It helped shape who he is today and the career choices he’s making. IEE offers a non-tradi- tional approach to learning English, environmental sci- ence and outdoor recreation. This integrated approach pro- vided Saunders the opportu- nity to study and learn about the natural environment by exploring and using critical thinking skills. Saunders took what he learned in IEE and kept going. He accompanied one of his IEE teachers, Rand Runco, on a trip to Nepal where their group worked to support an education center and set up libraries in remote villages. Saunders thanked Runco in a Teton Gravity Research article that featured Will’s accomplishments as a commercial and documentary photographer. Runco was grateful for Saunders’ kind words. “The best part of Will is he’s just a really good guy. He is kind, humble and so willing to learn,” said Runco. “Will is so talented, but always willing to do the hard things and has everyone’s interests in mind. He is a true team player. It’s so fun to see such a good guy having suc- cess in what he does.” Saunders has an eye for detail and perspective. “I’ve always looked at the world in that way,” he said. “I didn’t have a camera grow- ing up. I saw the world in an interesting way, but I didn’t know how to show what I saw until someone encouraged me to be a photographer.” Saunders graduated from the University of Oregon in 2016. During his senior year, with four months left, he was See SAUNDERS on page 30 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Council on Aging Senior Lunch Tuesdays, noon, Sisters Community Church. 541-678-5483.
