The exhibition cel- ebrates the vast, ever-chang- ing panorama that can be experienced from the site. Prominently featured in this series are the three riv- ers in the show’s title: Netul (Lewis and Clark River), Kil how a nah kle (Youngs River) and Yakaitl-wi- makl (Columbia River). A significant work in the show is a panorama 22 feet wide, assembled from individual charcoal drawings on paper. Two years ago Paulmenn had the opportunity to work on the restoration of the Astor Column, along with sixteen other artists from around the Northwest. Each day they were treated to the magnificent views that sur- round the Astoria peninsula. ‘From That, This’ Exhibiting in the Alcove space is Portland artist Leslie Lee, whose show, “From That, This,” features paintings in her eloquent, intuitive style, populated with figurative elements that develop into unexpected SUBMITTED PHOTO “Intelligentsia,” by Leslie Lee (oil over acrylic) FOR MORE INFO RiverSea Gallery (1160 Commercial St.) is open daily.

Lee rose to national prominence for her figura- tive ceramic sculpture in a career that spanned 30 years. More than a decade ago she made a leap to painting. Her latest work belongs to yet another new direction for the artist. Beginning with a colorful, abstract “smoosh,” she seeks hidden figures in this background. “The figurative artist in me re-emerges to tease out people and animals, bugs, landscapes and odd shapes which have nothing to do with each other until… they do,” Lee said.
