Each painting is unique and depicts almost futuristic scenes. Vern Rowe has been an artist since he was a young boy. The fíne quality of his work is the evidence of the length of his a rtis tic en d eav o rs. E ach painting, drawing and piece of jewelry is meticulously and intricately crafted. Rowe came in Warm Springs from Sacramento, California in 1980 and began working as the Tribe’s adult probation officer in 1981. Rowe says his background is with troubled juveniles. He worked for nine years at the Stanford Lathrop Memorial Home in Sacra mento as director of , the treatment facility. The 36-year-old has been working at his art since he was five and began selling his drawing in the eighth grade. Rowe stated that he was encouraged by his teachers and aunt. Following graduation from high school, Rowe went to Utah Technical College where he studied art. While there, he also studied art at the University of Utah. In 1967, he went into the Navy and in 1970. he g r a d u a te d fro m th e University of Hawaii with a BA in art. While working in Sacra mento, Rowe intended to obtain a BA in psychology, but decided to start his own jewelry business. His intricate pieces of g o ld , silv e r a n d iv o ry scrimshaw, sometimes inlaid w ith o th e r sem i-precious stones, are each works of art in themselves. Not only does Rowe work with precious metals, he also p a i n t s , c r e a tin g n e a r ly futuristic works that come from dreams. He has finished three of what he says will be a series of 10 paintings. Rowe intends to have a traveling show with the series that will also include prints of the works, cards, slides and a book about the symbolism of each painting. Rowe would like to use the proceeds from the show to develop a camp for disadvantaged teenage boys to help them have “as much opportunity in this world as anyone else.” The series of paintings may even be traded for a piece of land somewhere to be used for the camp. His paintings have been well- received so far, says Rowe, but he’s not ready to release them to the public yet. “When the series is complete, then I’ll display them,” he said. Rowe would like to display his works locally, possible to “inspire some people some artwork.” Some of Rowe’s other work are in galleries in central Oregon and in California. The Farmer’s Corner in Bend, the Art Merchant in Sisters and the White Buffalo Store in Madras have pieces on display and for sale. Each of Rowe’s paintings, drawings and pieces of jewelry are inspirations in themselves and th a t should not be overlooked. Each piece means something different to those who view them. R ow e also works in precious metals and semi-precious stones. Som e o f his jewelry is on display and f o r sale at the White Buffalo in Madras.
