“Garden Edge” by Don Rambadt at Bronze Coast Gallery.
Jonathon Marshall’s paintings
are brightly colored and retro,
while George Perrou’s work has
a giddy, cartoonish feel.
David Wight will be show-
ing new examples of his large
freeform glass wave sculptures.
Sales consultant Louise White-
head explains that the glass
contains 24 carat gold. “It took
him years to perfect the process
of adding a medium to the glass
so that it didn’t crack in the
oven,” she says.
White Bird Gallery, at 251
N. Hemlock St., was a pioneer
in showing both fine art and
craft, having done so since
1971. The gallery will cele-
brate a 56-foot-long painting by
Rumi Tsuda along an outdoor
walkway on the north side of
the gallery, as well as her small-
er works inside.
SPEAKING OF TASTE,
YOU’LL ALSO HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY
TO SAMPLE
GASTRONOMIC ART.
Cynthia Miller creates glass
enamel fusions on copper, and
White Bird Gallery will unveil
her first larger pieces. “They re-
ally shine,” says gallery owner
Allyn Cantor. “The unveiling
is also a good opportunity to
show the paintings Jacquiline
Hurlbert has been working on
for the past several years, in ad-
dition to the ceramic sculptures
she’s known for.”
There will also be a trunk
show of jewelry by Melanie
Brauner, who combines silver,
copper and abaca paper. She
is a new artist for the gallery.
“We’re really excited,” Cantor
says. “Her work is really fresh
and innovative.”
Also included, of course, are
the emotionally charged semi-
abstract paintings of Christo-
pher Mathie. A reception for the
artists will be held from 5 to 7
p.m. Saturday at White Bird.
This weekend, from Friday
afternoon through Sunday, plan
to walk Cannon Beach from the
north end (White Bird Gal-
lery) to the south (Irish Table
restaurant; its “Dungeness Crab
Toast” was inspired by Jeffrey
Hull’s “Hanging Out” painting,
on display at his eponymous
gallery). You’ll find a stellar
display of art, two-dimensional,
three-dimensional and gas-
tronomic. What better way to
welcome spring?
“Over the Lake” by Kelly Denato is part of the “LORE” show at Archimedes
Gallery, an exhibition that explores the legend and mystery of what hides
in the woods of the Pacifi c Northwest.
