SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, cele-
brating 12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk

demonstrations, listen to an artist talk or enjoy live per-
formances in music. The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m.
Saturday, Aug. 6 at galleries located in the historic Gilbert
District of downtown Seaside.
SunRose Gallery
606 Broadway
Featured artist Zemula Fleming
celebrates her fascination with icons
and their power to evoke adoration
and reverence. Inspired by churches in
Italy, Spain and Peru and the patterns,
textures and styles of period clothing,
Fleming creates glass bead and acrylic
paint mosaics on wood panels. The
igures and faces come from her
imagination, telling a story about a
person of another era, encased in a
decorative and jewel-like window.
Also see iber collage and resin
jewelry by Robin Montero, pinch pots
by Juanita May Smith and upcycled
mixed-media by Patty Thurlby.
Fairweather House and Gallery
612 Broadway
Fairweather will hold an opening
reception for “Moments Like This,”
an exhibition by artists who are
mesmerized by the sparkling ocean
and iery sunsets. Oregon artist
Bev Drew Kindley will show work.
Kindley often starts a painting en
plein air near the ocean, reveling
in leeting moments of light and
weather, before inishing the work
in her studio. Artist Paul Brent will
also show work and ofer a live
painting demonstration. An artist
whose paintings of coastal life have
gained widespread recognition
both nationally and internationally,
Brent enjoys painting local scenes
and beachscapes near his two home
studios in Panama City, Florida and
Seaside. Nature photographer Neal
Maine will show his latest work and
speak at 6 p.m. Adult beverages,
light refreshments, live music by
Shirley 88 and door prizes will be
provided.
The Gilbert District Gallery
613 Broadway
The Gilbert District Gallery will
feature Mike Sage, an artist renowned
for his unorthodox medium: leaves.
A self-described nature lover, he
constructs shadow boxes, jewelry,
and even dresses from the preserved
skeletal remnants of leaves. Credited
with developing a unique tactic to ex-
pose the intricate vascular structure of
the leaf, Sage illuminates the elegant
nature of that which is hidden.
Sage is celebrating his 12th
consecutive year after being the irst
artist to debut in the Gilbert Gallery
District. The gallery, a co-op shared by
artists from Washington and Oregon,
is celebrating its 12th year and
features watercolors, bronzes, giclees,
Native American jewelry, oil paints,
greeting cards and gifts.
SeaSoles Boutique
608 Broadway
Life for Seaside native Jorjett
Strumme has been a big adventure.
She designed glamorous fashions for
the legends of Hollywood on TV series
like “Dynasty” and was Elizabeth
Taylor’s personal assistant for 10
years. Hollywood is still a source of
inspiration for the artist.
“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. I started making
over-the-top hats, bridal headpieces,
tiaras and masks for photographers
and fashion shows. This is where
my costume art began. Whimsy,
sparkle and lots of fun. My masks are
generally purchased as art. However,
they are real, wearable masks.”
Beach Books
616 Broadway
Discover the many riches of red
at “Red Hot,” a series of paintings
by Barbara Martin that explore the
dynamic hue. See iery reds of passion
and warning; lively reds of roses,
sunsets and foliage; the earthiness of
rust and clay; and the juicy red of ripe
berries. Which red speaks to you?
Descended from a line of story tellers
and herbalists and raised an international
nomad, Martin now calls Oregon home.
From early childhood’s inger paint and
mud pies, then through garden design
and now the alchemy of mixed-media
paintings, Martin inds that the primeval
speaks through her ingers. She is a mem-
ber of the Green Cab Collective, a Portland
alliance of artists.
T.anjuli Gallery

la Fleming at SunRose Gal-
lery.
Seaside Cofee House
3 N. Holladay Drive
Seaside Cofee House will feature
work by Marcus Lundell, an artist
who uses a traditional reverse glass
painting technique on distressed win-
dows and picture frames. His window
views include classic landscapes and
comedic characters — sometimes
juxtaposed in the same scene. His
witty perspective brings a modern,
urbane touch to his folk art medium.
