It is an environment of thick fir and maple forest blanketed with lush ferns and punctuated with sunlit meadows,” he said.

The Jan Shield Pop-Up Gallery is sponsored by the Gilbert Block Building. Fairweather House & Gallery 612 Broadway St. Reception for “Sense of Place,” fea- turing regional artists Melissa Jander, Karen Lewis, Emily Miller, Rebecca Gore and Christine Trexel.

Jan Rimerman’s “Stream Treasure” at Fairweather House & Gallery Osborne is the artist-in-residence at Catherine Bede Gallery, and art instructor and art curator at the Ros- eSprings Gallery. “My art reflects roots in the Pacific Northwest. I believe art is healing; it should make you feel some- thing; perhaps a transition from one emotion completing or changing to another emotion altogether. Painting takes me on a journey or recollection, a dream or memory,” Osborne said. Rimerman served as the Open Show director at the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts for 25 years, director of the Rain Spark Gallery, and visual arts director of the Lakewood Center. As an arts educator for 33 years, she pioneered the Art After Hours program for high school students and community members. “Everyone connects with their own experiences, whether from their childhood, recent memories or perhaps where they would like to be in the future,” Rimerman said. Martin grew up on three conti- nents, earned an MBA, is a certified creativity coach and teaches art classes. She is a guild member of the Arts Council Lake Oswego. Her work is con- temporary in style and leans toward the abstract and sometimes surreal. Plus at the gallery: artist lectures, a Painting Seaside LIVE ™ demonstration by Carolyn Macpherson and music by Shirley 88. Mermaid Dreams stemware at Westport Winery Seaside The Whet Spot 12 N.
