He earned a bache- lor’s degree in printmaking from the Pacific Northwest College of Art (2002) and received a master’s in print- making and drawing from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2004.

Kitai emphasizes sur- face and material contrast by using passages of gold or silver leaf, which evoke the stylized clouds of traditional Japanese screen paintings. Also, utilizing a limited color palette, Kitai said, highlights the subtle shift in gradients as the paint in each brushstroke fades after its initial saturation. He said the resultant works feel simultaneously restrained and joyful, eliciting a sense of orderly quietude. ——— Contact Community Edi- tor Tammy Malgesini at tmalgesini@eastoregonian. com or 541-564-4539 COMING EVENTS THURSDAY, AUG. 15 PENDLETON SENIOR MEAL SERVICE, 12-1 p.m., Pendleton Senior Center, 510 S.W. 10th St., Pendleton.
