Heller’s art featured at Sterling Bank
By DOROTHEA
HOVER-KRAMER
Patricia Heller, a Cave
Junction watercolorist and
oil painter, is the featured
Artist of the Month for No-
vember at Sterling Savings
Bank in Downtown Cave
Junction.
The event is sponsored
by Illinois Valley Fine
Artists Inc.
Heller’s painting titled
Stormy Skies at the bank is a
result of a workshop she
attended during summer this
year with famed watercolor-
ist Charles Reid, in Bend.
She is a juried member of
the Watercolor Society of
Oregon, and the Valley
Watercolor Society in
Encino, Calif.
Other paintings at the
bank are from valley scenes
that she has developed since
moving here two years ago.
More of her work can be
seen at Patriciaheller.info.
They also can be seen at
Changes Art Gallery in
Cave Junction, at the South-
ern Oregon Guild Gallery in
Kerby, and at Harper-
Howell Gallery in Grants
Pass.
Heller’s hope is to com-
bine bodily motion elements
with connective color to
create paintings to be en-
joyed by viewers. Creating
art priced to be affordable to
as many people as possible
also is her goal.
Painting with the I.V.
Fine Artists’ groups afford
her the camaraderie of other
artists. She also appreciates
the “gentle and worthwhile
critiques” of the artistic
group and their varying per-
ceptions.
