Clatsop Community College Outreach Literacy — Needs volunteer literacy tutors to work Artists Ryan Everson of Warrenton and Bonny Gor- such of Cannon Beach have been selected to partici- pate in the second annual Coastal Oregon Artist Resi- dency (COAR), which sup- ports the creation of art from recycled, repurposed and discarded material. The res- idency was developed by Recology Western Oregon and local arts nonprofit Asto- ria Visual Arts. Everson graduated from Warrenton High School in 1999 and served in the U.S. Army for four years. For most of his life, he has been a mechanic. His train- ing began with going along with his father to refriger- ation jobs and working at a small family-run lawn- mower shop. He went on to fixing M1A2 battle tanks in a combat zone, to full- time welding, to owning and operating an automotive and custom-exhaust fabrication shop, to working the North Dakota oilfields. Everson currently makes sculptures from recycled copper, with bases made from a variety of materials such as melted glass, drift- wood and rock. To see some Ryan Everson Bonny Gorsuch of Everson’s artwork, go to www.resculpturedart.com Gorsuch moved to Can- non Beach in 2000. She started tinkering with found objects — wood, metal, and fabric scraps. With no formal art training, Gorsuch has cre- ated her own uniquely styled folk art, which has been fea- tured in many publications. She sells her work online, at outdoor shows and through Astoria Vintage Hardware. Samples of Gorsuch’s work can be viewed at www.etsy. com/shop/mybonny Each artist is provided a monthly stipend, materials and dedicated studio space at the Astoria Recycling Depot and Transfer Station over a three-month period.
