Trail’s End Gallery will open an
exciting new show during the Gearhart
ArtWalk on May 4 featuring Mary
Schlunegger, a talented painter in
acrylic, fabric and 3-D art. Her show
is entitled “Fashionable Art” and will
include wearable pieces, as well as
her lovely paintings and whimsical
gourds. The show will be on display
throughout the month. A reception
in her honor will be from 2-5 p.m.
Saturday. Other Trail’s End artists will
be represented around the gallery and
entryway area. The gallery is located
at 656 A St.
Mary has had a lifelong passion
for all forms of art. She says, “I have
drawn and painted since childhood.
Having spent most of my life growing
up surfi ng the shores of California and
Hawaii I have been able to fi nd great
inspiration from those memories. You
can see in my work a very close con-
nection with the ocean and wildlife. I
primarily paint with acrylics but love
to experiment with color and texture
in mixed media and fi ber art, mixing
techniques with diff erent materials
using skills learned in college and
numerous workshops. Having retired
after decades of running a successful
Interior Design business, I now have
the time to pursue my lifelong dream
of becoming a full time artist drawing
my inspiration from the Oregon Coast,
the place I now call home.”
Trail’s End is lucky to have her as a
member.
Trail’s End is the oldest gallery on
the North Coast, having been built
as a schoolhouse in the early 1900s
and converted to art classrooms and a
gallery mid-century.
Besides the gallery there is a gift
shop full of prints, small objects and
artwork, notecards and discounted
paintings. The membership continues
to grow and has artists joining from
Washington and parts of the North
Coast, including the Portland area.
Open studios for the public are
available nearly every day. Four
summer workshops in all media will be
presented by artists known regionally,
nationally and internationally through-
out the summer.
On July 4, we have a tent sale and
fun art events for everyone. Our annual
judged show in August is open to the
public.
For further information, contact
the gallery during its winter hours from
Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.-
3 p.m. The phone number is 503-717-
9458. See more at trailsendart.org.
