CANNON BEACH —Join the
Cannon Beach Gallery in
welcoming the New Year
with a vibrant printmaking
exhibition featuring artist
Angela Purviance.
“Complications of
Childhood” will open with
a reception from 6 to 8
p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14. An
artist talk will take place
the following morning from
11 a.m. to noon Sunday,
Jan. 15. The exhibition will
remain on display through
Feb. 12.
As a recent Bachelor of
Fine Arts graduate from
Oregon State University,
Purviance studied under Pro-
fessor Yuji Hiratsuka, where
she was introduced to the
world of color copperplate
etching and its technical and
artistic challenges.

viance.
Purviance is becom-
ing known for her vibrant
color intaglio prints, which
generally feature children
in narratives that could
be described as magical
realism. Her topics blend her
interests and backgrounds.
For over 10 years, she was
an elementary art instructor,
working with children. More
recently, during the past
three years, Purviance has
worked in wildlife rehabil-
itation. These experiences,
in how both children and the
environment are impacted
through generations, have
shaped her worldview and
provide endless content for
her work.
In addition to being a
multi-talented printmak-
er, Purviance has also set
up a home studio, having
researched, innovated and
implemented less toxic
printmaking methods. In
her own words she stated
that, “intaglio is an ad-
venture, intellectually and
artistically challenging.”
Playing with the possibili-
ties that it offers promises
to keep her engaged for
years to come.

Learn about ‘first pioneer’ Calvin Tibbets
ASTORIA — Fort Clatsop
will hold the next In Their
Footsteps speaker series
event at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan.
15. Jerry Sutherland will
talk about Calvin Tibbets
and Solomon Smith, the first
American settlers on Clatsop
Plains.
Sutherland spent two
years scouring archives
and visiting Tibbets’ haunts
across the United States
and Canada before deciding
to write “Calvin Tibbets:
Oregon’s First Pioneer.” His
book, published in 2016,
tells the story of an obscure
stonemason who journeyed
to Oregon from Maine in
1832, determined to settle
permanently, wrest control
of Oregon from Great Brit-
ain’s Hudson’s Bay Compa-
ny, and make it part of the

United States. Tibbets’ goal
was achieved just before his
death in 1849, but he never
received recognition for hav-
ing paved the way for thou-
sands of Oregon pioneers.
During his talk, Suther-
land will focus on Tibbets’
years on Clatsop Plains and
his friendship with Solomon
Smith, who married Celi-
ast, the daughter of Clatsop
Chief Coboway, and whose
son, Silas Smith, helped
identify the site of Fort Clat-
sop in 1899.
“Calvin Tibbets: Or-
egon’s First Pioneer” is
available at the Lewis &
Clark National Park Associ-
ation bookstore in the Fort
Clatsop visitor center. There
will be a book signing at the
bookstore following Suther-
land’s presentation.

ILWACO, Wash. — There’s no
feeling quite like cooking
with home-grown carrots or
grabbing a fresh handful of
cilantro from your own yard
— unless you’re growing
fruits, vegetables or grains
for brewing.
At the next Salty Talks
free community lecture,
hear from Debbie Teashon
as she discusses her latest
book “Gardening for the
Homebrewer: Grow and
Process Plants for Making
Beer, Wine, Gruit, Cider,
Perry and More.” The event
takes place at 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 18 at the
Salt Hotel & Pub, located at
147 Howerton Ave.
“Gardening for the
Homebrewer” offers an
introduction to the wide
variety of plants you can use
for fermentations or infu-
sions. In her experience as
a gardener, she also writes
to help explain if your yard
is a perfect site for barley
or whether it’s better suited
to a fragrant collection of
herbs. Teashon’s talk will
also include information
on gardening in the mari-
time Northwest climate in
general.
Teashon spends her time
gardening, taking classes
or researching plants for
articles and the online plant
database she maintains on
Rainy Side Gardeners, a
website to help gardeners in
the Pacific Northwest.
She is a freelance
garden writer, author and
award-winning photogra-
pher from Kitsap Peninsula,
Washington. Articles and
photographs of Teashon’s
work have appeared in mag-
azines such as Fine Garden-
ing, West Sound Home and
Garden, Master Gardeners
and The Oregonian among
others. She has gardened
most of her adult life and
written about it for over two
decades.
