Wayward cat reunited with owner
Art Attack critique
group hosts show
By Jodi Schneider
Correspondent
Eight well-known local
artists from Sisters Art
Attack group will be holding
an art show and demonstra-
tion of their individual paint-
ing skills on the lawn next to
Gary Cooley’s Gallery at 353
W. Hood Ave. on Saturday,
August 11, from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m.
The critique group was
formed two years ago when
Jim Horsley and a couple of
other local artists came up
with the idea of a monthly
gathering to review each
other’s art work to help grow
their painting capabilities.
The exhibition will pro-
vide spectators with an
opportunity to interact with
the artists and see how they
approach painting with their
different techniques.
“Each of us will be work-
ing on a painting and inter-
acting with anyone who has
an interest in art, and the
process by which an artist
goes about creating it,” said
Art Attack member Randall
Tillery.
The artists will have their
easels out and will also have
paintings that will be avail-
able to purchase.
“I think the energy and
interest in the event is for the
public to get an up-close and
personal look at how excel-
lent fine art is created, with a
chance to interact with each
of the participating artists at
their easels,” Tillery said.
All of the participating
artists are from the local
area, with a strong regional
presence.
JoAnn Burgess is a pas-
tel artist from Sisters recog-
nized for both her landscape

Each of us will be
working on a uainting and
interacting with anyone
who has an interest in
art, and the urocess by
which an artist goes
about creating it.

Mike Wise is a plein
air artist located in Bend.
Working from life, he cap-
tures local landscapes that
are alive with color and
texture.
A wayward cat that some-
how made his way from
Bend to Sisters was reunited
with his owner after being
cared for by the staff at
Rio Restaurant and Sisters
Athletic Club.
“For nearly a week a
sweet kitty was hanging
around the grassy area behind
the Sisters Athletic Club and
Rio Restaurant,” Cindy Tintle
of SAC reported. “Four-year-
old Nicholas, the son of Rio’s
owner (Roberto Cardenas)
developed a natural bond
with the affectionate kitty.
Nicholas made sure the kitty
was fed and taken care of
whenever he visited the res-
taurant. One evening the cat
even went home with Nicolas
and his dad because Nicholas
was worried that the cat was
lost and unable to find his
home.”
Rebecca Womack from
Sisters Athletic Club took
the cat to Sisters Veterinary
Clinic, where they discov-
ered a microchip with the
owners’ contact information.
However, the phone number
associated with the account
was disconnected.
Tintle continued to do
some digging online and
found an email address for

the kitty’s owner. The owner
lived in Bend and somehow
“MauMau” found his way all
the way to Sisters.
Tintle noted that
“MauMau was reunited with
his family after his little
Sisters vacation, and it seems
as if he enjoyed the hospital-
ity shown to him while visit-
ing our sweet little town.”
