Artist’s works inspirational
Vern R ow e “paints his dreams, ” he says. 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.
