Mike Wise, and potter Annie

tion at Iowa State University

practic medicine degree from

University in Minneapolis.
He turned to painting when he
moved to Bend. <The light 4
it hits you, promising stunning
scenes of beauty if you stop
long enough to look. Painting
this environment soothes the
mind and relaxes the body,=
he says. Annie Dyer9s unique
pottery combines high-gloss
finishes with highly textured
ones, each piece being both
unique and functional.
The Clearwater Gallery
is excited to feature award-
winning oil painter David
Mensing from 4 to 6 p.m.
Replete with bright colors
and powerful palette-knife
strokes, Mensing9s style cap-
tures the beauty of the West.
He interprets what he sees in
nature onto canvas to create
vibrant and peaceful paintings.
Gary Cooley is known
for his colorful bronze sculp-
tures, but did you know that
he is also an exceptional oil
painter? He will welcome vis-
itors to his Collection Gallery
to discuss both art forms while

“Clock Works” by Ed Beacham at
Beacham’s Clock Company.
1860s original which sold
for a record $277,330 in the
Fontaine Auction. Each of
Beacham9s clocks is an invest-
ment, because he is the only
one in the country making
them. The floor clocks each
have a different carved head,
but the clock faces are the
same, incorporating time, day
and date, sidereal time (solar
noon), sunrise and sunset.
Opening at Stitchin9 Post
Fabric Arts Gallery is <My
Story, My Work= by Marie
Murphy Wolfe, who combines
quilting and haiku. Murphy
Wolfe has enjoyed working
with her hands all her life.
Her process involves decid-
ing on a subject, an exhibit
title, an emotion, or an
image from her travels.
She then writes a simple
haiku, which she includes
with the art quilt.
Mel Archer will be demon-
strating the components of his
glass-on-glass impressionist
landscapes at Sisters Gallery
& Frame Shop. Archer cre-
ates his own shades of col-
ored glass, in the forms of frit,
rods, or panels, by blending
and fusing standard colors. He
then uses these components in
creating multi-layered impres-
sionist glass landscapes.
Wildflower Studio will
be featuring original acrylic
paintings by David Rock and
original paintings and prints
by Kathy Deggendorfer.
Original paintings by
Linda Hanson are featured
at Good Day Café, adjacent

MFA from San Francisco
Art Institute. Through all her
travels, Hanson9s first love is
<the rough and rugged coun-
try of the West, especially the
high desert of Central Oregon.
Rivers, trees, big mountains
and bigger skies open my
heart and my imagination.=
