Waves of Change
Local art enthusiasts accustomed to cruising exhibits,
lectures and readings at The WAVE Gallery space will
discover a pivotal change in the life of the gallery. Former
owner, artist and entrepreneur Sabrina Jackson is turning
over the space to local nonprofi t Eugene Contemporary Art
(ECA).
“The answer to keeping independent art alive in Eugene
is not to try to make money off of selling it in the traditional
gallery format,” Jackson says, “but more so in engaging
the community in education and art-related events through
nonprofi t organizations.”
Jackson will remain involved with the gallery space,
volunteering and continuing to contribute, but as of Sunday,
July 1, The WAVE Gallery will undergo a transformation into
the nonprofi t realm. ECA is in the process of developing
the gallery into a contemporary arts center focusing on
education as well as appreciation.
“Our main goal is to do a local residency program for
artists to put on shows here in the future,” new co-owner
Courtney Stubbert says.
Stubbert, joined by ECA co-founder and director of
education Wesley Hurd, says he looks forward to further
developing The WAVE Gallery and creating a sustainable,
non-traditional gallery space.
“Some of Eugene’s most successful artists end up being
successful and having their shows in Portland,” Stubbert
says. “We are trying to change that.”
Gallery goers can look forward to the development of
a quarterly artist residency program, lecture series, open-
studio visits, readings and more.

“ANGUS’ ADDICTION
TO ROULETTE BEGAN
WHEN TRAINING FOR THE
HAMMER THROW”
BY JERRY WILLIAMS
July of Gems
It’s July, and DIVA is showcasing two vibrant and
unusual artists possessing a style and ingenuity well-
worth checking out. Painter and theater designer Jerry
Williams will showcase his large-scale paintings, which
will be moved eventually to the Bijou’s newly remodeled
theater in August. “It will be a challenge to see how
many of these big paintings I can fi t into DIVA,” Williams
says.
Williams says he was inspired to take on these giant
paintings after years of set design for theaters such as
the Hult Center, UO Theatre, the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival and more.
“Other artists ask almost angrily why I paint so big,”
he says. “Considering my forty-year career as a theater
designer, a tiny six-foot canvas can seem like a Persian
miniature to me.”
With such huge canvases, no ordinary paintbrush will
suffi ce, and Williams has learned to be inventive with his
tools. He sometimes paints with brooms and mops.
Cassandra Warren will also be featured in DIVA’s
July exhibit. “I’m showing part of a series of action
painting, much in the spirit of abstract expressionism,”
she says.
Warren’s work is textured, active and often involves
glitter. By dripping paint on canvas, she creates
colorful, layered lines that change dramatically
according to the angle and intensity of light. The result
of this variation in mediums is a whimsical product
that’s as innovative as it is eye pleasing.
But there is more to Warren’s work than color,
sequins and iridescent gems. “My mission is to create
work that is uplifting and beautiful,” she says. “I want
to make things that speak of the constant harmony
that exists in the energy and vibration that connects
all things.”
Jerry Williams’ and Cassandra Warren’s artwork is
featured throughout the month of July at DIVA.
