SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, celebrating
11 years in 2015, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet

Fairweather House and Gallery

Fairweather’s opens “Fall Retreat,”
a exhibition that brings together sea-
sonal art from regional artists Jo Pome-
roy-Crockett, Bev Drew Kindley and
Nick Brakel. Pomeroy-Crockett’s work
includes unusual painting supports such
as yupo, a paper made from recycled
products, challenging glass-like surfac-
es and birch bark. In a series of colla-
graphs, Brakel explores concern about
water birds and sea mammals that may
be affected by climate change. Kindley
has painted en plein air, working out-
doors in the changing season, and has
captured the autumn light beautifully
in her work.
Also see work by two new artists:
lifelong North Coast resident and land-
scape photographer Linda Fenton-Men-
denhall and collage artist Sherrie Stahl.
At 6 p.m., Seaside nature photographer
Neal Maine will offer a natural history
lecture about the season and reveal his

“Tillamook Head at the Necanicum Estuary” by Paul Brent at Fairweather’s.
Hollywood came true; she worked on
several television series such as “Dynas-
ty” and “Love Boat” and was Elizabeth
Taylor’s personal assistant and stylist for
10 years. The Golden Age of Hollywood
is still a source of inspiration for the
artist and designer. “I was so lucky to
be in the right place at the right time,”
Strumme says. “People ask me so often,
‘How did you get from Seaside, Oregon
to Hollywood, California?’ I had a lot of
guts, a lot of determination and a lot of
good luck.” In 2009, Strumme was in-
ducted into the Seaside High School Hall
of Fame for both her student and career
achievements.

T. Anjuli’s features artists/gallery
owners Lisa Scigliano and Billy Lutz. For
October, “Leafraker,” an oil on canvas, is
featured. “He is immersed in ideals of
windblown fates and felicity. The open
air theater prods him to reconsider
himself, his importance and his insignif-
icance to the ever-changing whole. In
presence he tends his garden by raking
the leaves from his path,” writes Lutz.
