Curington, is thrilled to paint
light dancing through a flower
petal. Color and luminosity moves
the artist in the way music moves
others. “I am third generation on
my rural, wooded land; I have
known particular trees since child-
hood. Through my paintings I hope
to express the profound gratitude
I feel for the power and beauty of
Nature.”

philosopher, whose body of work
gathered spans a career of 30
years of mature thematic painting.
The featured art for April is titled
“Corporate Christianity.” The artist
writes, “There are two modern forms
of governance in American culture:
the conservative, Strict Father model
and the progressive Nurturing Parent
model. The first prescribes an indi-
vidualist authority instructing one
how to behave … ‘we know what’s
best for you so do what you are told,’
while the other model prescribes
consensus and collective thinking
… ‘let’s discuss our problems and
arrive at compromise.’ In the scene
described, our nurturing parent has
been splayed across the hood of the
car and her child is climbing up to
join the fray.”

Opening reception for BLOOM,
featuring artists Bev Drew Kindley,
Gretha Lindwood and Susan Cur-
ington. Kindley, a native Orego-
nian, with dual degrees in art and
philosophy, paints to understand
the inspiration of unique moments
of light with impressionistic works
of art that are to viewed as visual
celebrations. “It’s my way of com-
municating with the world. My
hope is to encourage appreciate
and protection of our heritage and
world.”
Lindwood uses vibrant color
and strong design, hallmarks
of artwork, developed during a
career as an illustrator and graphic
designer. Another lifelong resident
of the Pacific Northwest, the artist
cherishes landscapes honed by
water and time and delight in
capturing their beauty in the lush
colors of pastels or oils to share
Beach Books
616 Broadway
Featuring artist Jim Zaleski,
who combines the traditional art
forms of painting and drawing with
a computer world to produce art
that is loaded with whimsy. Zaleski
returns to the Loft Gallery with “a
little of this, and a little of that,” an
eclectic, show that includes new
works. He creates colorful abstract
prints full of intense, saturated
colors and shimmering, atmospher-
ic light. He also enjoys fashioning
light-hearted, whimsical, figurative
themes. Sound interesting? “Good,
because by a strange twist of fate,
I get to restart part of my life and
answer the ubiquitous question,
‘what do I want to be when I grow
up’? By all measures, this ought
to be an interesting adventure.
So, woo-hoo, hang on and follow
along! I’ll do my best to make it
worth your while”.
