Lavadour delves into artwork during residency
Arts center director
spends two weeks
at Pine Meadow
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
PENDLETON — Roberta
Lavadour, who has been aﬃ l-
iated with Pendleton Center
for the Arts since it opened
in 2001, recently enjoyed the
luxury of focusing on her
artwork without interrup-
tions. This past fall, she spent
two weeks at Pine Meadow
Ranch Center for Art and
Agriculture.
Lavadour initially started
out as a vendor and instructor
at the arts center, then was a
marketing assistant. She has
served as the executive direc-
tor since 2007. Prior to that,
Lavadour spent 10 years doing
full-time studio work, blend-
ing multiple revenue streams
that included making artist’s
books for exhibition, creating
custom books and letterpress

Roberta Lavadour is the ex-
ecutive director of the arts
center in Pendleton
printed, handmade paper invi-
tations and teaching book and
paper arts in kindergarten
through 12th grade and as a
visiting artist at institutions of
higher education.
While she maintains an
active studio practice around
her job at the arts center, Lava-
dour said just having time to
work was nice. She said having
days on end to encounter the
unexpected, create problems
with materials and then going
about attempting to solve them
was truly luxurious.
“Puttering is an important
part of art-making,” she said.
“And to be able to do it in such
a beautiful spot is the icing on
the cake.”
Located on the outskirts
of Sisters in Central Oregon,
Lavadour became acquainted
with the founders of Round-
house Foundation, which runs
the ranch, through a mutual
friend, Patricia Clark.
Years ago, Lavadour taught
a couple classes at Clark’s
printmaking studio in Bend.
When an opening in the resi-
dency program opened up
because of a cancelation,
Clark recommended the foun-
dation invite Lavadour.
And the timing worked out
perfectly. Lavadour’s work
schedule and family obliga-
tions typically prevent her
from applying for residencies.

store in Sisters, Roberta La-
vadour of Pendleton creat-
ed artist’s books using the
drum heads made from ani-
mal skin while adding hand-
made paper she made sever-
al years prior.
“It was just serendipitous
that this invitation involved
time after ﬁ re season — when
my grammy duties are needed
by the family — and before
the risk of bad roads,” she
said. “I do travel to teach and
meet with other book artists

Recovery coming full

HERMISTON — Calvin Netherda
of Hermiston donated a pickup load of
toys to the Christmas Express as part of
his eﬀ ort to graduate from the 6th Judi-
cial District Treatment Court Program.
All Phase 4 participants must
complete a leadership project to grad-
uate from the program, according to
a press release from treatment court
coordinator Jillian Viles. Leader-
ship projects require participants to
organize an eﬀ ort to give back to the
community.
In early November, Netherda
approached Viles with the idea of
collecting toys for children in need
for Christmas. With the clock ticking,
Netherda went into action, ﬁ nding a
location to place a donation box.
His employer, Pilot Travel Center,
Stanﬁ eld, agreed to allow him to place
the donation box at its store. Neth-
erda reported that many drivers would
purchase toys in the store and place
them in the donation box, and within
a few days the box was full.
By the end of his toy drive, Netherda

program, and other visitors
and workers came and went.
The values of the Round-
house Foundation, Lavadour
said, include a broad approach
to understanding what artists
need to make work — from
addressing food insecurity
to providing time and space
to work. Lavadour said that
is going to impact how she
does her job at the arts center
moving forward, including
how she can support other
artists.
“Not only did I complete
work while I was there, I came
home with photos, sketches
and ideas for future work,”
Lavadour said.

tional residency.”
Lavadour said she’s happy
working anywhere with her
tools handy and plenty of table
space. Because a big part of
her artwork involves respond-
ing to objects she encounters,
Lavadour spent time brows-
ing the Habitat for Humanity
thrift store in Sisters.
“It was a treasure trove of
inspiration,” she said.
In addition, Lavadour said
the place often influences
the design of pieces. And as
a result, the place is forever
connected to the objects
made there. Also, she said the
people she encounters have a
big impact when she travels.
During her residency,
Lavadour helped on the ranch,
including working with one of
the ranch hands to build a soli-
tary bee house for the pollina-
tor garden. Pine Meadows,
she said, is a dynamic place.
During her stay, there was
another artist in residence
sharing the ranch house,
collected four large boxes full of toys,
enough to ﬁ ll the bed of his pickup,
according to the press release.
Viles assisted Netherda in ﬁ nding
an agency to donate the toys to, and
the Hermiston Police Department
accepted the toys for the annual Christ-
mas Express toy drive.
Netherda was satisﬁ ed with how the
toy drive went, according to the press
release, and found it gratifying to be
able to give back to the community.
He also commented he recognized the
Hermiston police oﬃ cer who arrested
him for the last time before coming into
treatment court.
Netherda expects to complete the
program in February.
The 6th Judicial District Treatment
Court Program launched in August
2018. The program is for individu-
als that have committed drug-related
crimes, have been sentenced to proba-
tion and struggle with substance abuse,
the press release stated. The program
takes 19 months to complete and
provides intensive outpatient substance
abuse treatment, frequent drug testing
and more to help individuals live a life
free from substance abuse.
