16 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Joint art show explores the light of the solstice ASTORIA — Artists Terrie Remington and Kitty Paino will hold “Solstice Enlight- ened,” a joint art show at Grace Episcopal Church’s gallery. The art show opens with a reception from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, where visitors can meet the artists. The church is located at 1545 Franklin Ave. The art show will run to Jan. 3. The two Astoria artists often share ideas for how to bring light into their paintings, and although their styles are different, their approach to light is the same. They both feel that when the days begin to be darker in winter, it makes it even more important to celebrate the joy of light, and they decided to call their show “Solstice Enlightened” to represent that apprecia- tion. Remington’s work will highlight the painted sculpture technique she has refined over the last 50 years. She has been an accomplished professional artist as both her avocation and vocation for her entire adult life. She was born in New York and studied art in Arizona, California, Seattle and Madrid, Spain. Her multi-media sculptures are made of clay, natural fibers and raw linen mar- bleized for durability, then painted in acrylics and oil. Sealed driftwood, shells and feathers are sometimes utilized. She attempts to capture passion and emo- tional fire in her paintings.

For her, the journey is the reward when painting, and she has a con- nection with nature that is reflected in her work. She has won numerous awards for her art, including having work in the Oregon Coast Arts Commission’s permanent collection; multiple pieces juried into “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century”; and multiple Best of Show and People’s Choice awards at Trail’s End Art Association in Gearhart.
