SunRose Gallery
606 Broadway St.
Whimsical “quilted painter” Ronni
Harris is the June featured artist.
Her show, “I See Seaside,” is inspired
by her delivering Meals on Wheels
through the eyes of an artist.
“I deliver to my precious folks,
most living with their only compan-
ion, their dogs, living in well-loved
vacation cottages from the early days
in Seaside,” Harris said.
She illustrates her vision of that
golden time. Her painting process
starts with stretching fabric over a
wooden frame. She paints the picture
and embellishes with embroidery,
silk ribbons and other found objects,
giving the art a three-dimensional
quality.
Fairweather House and
Gallery
612 Broadway St.
The evening marks the opening
reception for “ICONIC: An Exhibi-
tion,” featuring important quotes
crafted by calligraphy artist Penelope
Culbertson, oil painter Melissa Jander,
exemplary wood sculptures by Mike
Brown and introducing Gearhart
photographer Dale Veith.
Veith, a Gearhart resident and
clinical psychologist, uses fine-art
photography to model for clients how
they might go about finding symbols
that remind them what gives their
lives meaning and purpose, no matter
what challenges confront them.
Melissa Jander’s art is a looser
style of oil painting influenced by
impressionism, but leaning toward
post-impressionism in the style of
Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard and
Louis Valtat.
Naturalist Neal Maine will speak
at 6 p.m. about the ecology of the lo-
cal habitat. The event will also include
live music by Shirley 88, lite bites and
adult beverages.

pressions to life through watercolor,”

Beach Books
616 Broadway St.
The bookstore will showcase
selected Oregon photographers in the
Loft Gallery. Price Luber’s dynamic
black-and-white images contrast
with Mark McDowall’s brilliant and
colorful landscapes, in a show that
presents the world’s natural beauty.
Price Luber seeks the hidden
lines and images created in nature
from light and shadow. He looks in
common objects for hidden forms
many of us fail to see. He captures
this unseen world and unmasks it for
all of us, and does so using vintage
single-focus film cameras.
Mark McDowall inherited camera
equipment from his late brother, who
was involved in motion pictures. His
landscapes are colorful and breath-
taking, and his eye for the perfect
shot is well-developed — and is,
without doubt, reason enough to pay
close attention to his emergence on
the Oregon art scene.
