Opening reception for “Seek,” an art
exhibition.
As the hectic holiday season ap-
proaches, we seek beauty in nature,
in its solitude and silence, as well
as search for time with family and
friends. “Seek” captures the apprecia-
tion for the arts. Seek, inquire, search
for, pursue, long for, wish for, desire,
look for, expect from.
Featuring Duane Bolster, master
harp builder and his harp petting
zoo. For nearly 50 years, he worked in
operating rooms and intensive care
units. He witnessed the wonderful
healing and soothing effects that
harp music had on the children he
cared for, and on their parents. He
won The Hero award from CCA “For
Creating a Magnificent Harp for the
Music Program.”
In addition, Oregon artist Renee
Rowe, inspired by the beauty of
nature, produces abstract art by
following her heart. For the artist, cel-
ebrating art and life are inseparable.
