CANNON BEACH — The Can-
non Beach History Center
& Museum will open a new
art installation featuring the
work of two well-known
local artists. Join artists
Kristin Shauck and Tim Lid-
diard at the Cannon Beach
History Center & Museum
as they open their latest
exhibit “Of Two Minds: A
Collaborative Exploration
Between Tim Liddiard and
Kristin Shauck.” The exhibit
will open at 6 p.m. Saturday,
Dec. 3 and will remain on
display through February.
The exhibit is an explo-
ration of both artists’ varied
pasts and experiences, and
both artists explore the use
of color in their work.
“Inspired by color field
paintings as a springboard
for my explorations, I am
interested in experimenting
with how colors interact,
starting with simpler color
combinations and progress-
ing to more complex,” says
Liddiard about his work in
the show.
“Of Two Minds” inte-
grates Shauck’s own philos-
ophy and love of nature as
well. “Since my childhood,
I have always felt a deep
connection to and fasci-
nation with animals of all
kinds, from the tiniest insect
to the largest mammals, and
have always experienced a
profound sense of both awe
and joy while in their pres-
ence,” Shauck says. “I seek
to capture the essence of
both humans and animals by
beginning each painting with
a very spontaneous, gestural
approach, drawing initially
with either chalk or directly
with a brush, and progress-
ing with many obsessive
layers of vibrant color.”
Liddiard was born in Chi-
huahua, Mexico and moved
