SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2015 11 A Gallery to showcase pillows, witty words We are grateful to all who have helped PeaceHealth care for our community this year. May the blessing you have been to others come back to you many times over at Thanksgiving and always. COURTESY PHOTO The Gallery Above Silver Lining’s December featured artist Janey DiMuro’s fabric and two-dimensional cre- ations will be on display. time, especially here in my home town of Florence.” At her champagne and hors d’oeurves reception, DiMuro will be joined by local writer Burney Garelick, whose inspir- ation fabricates words into witty reviews and stories. Garelick worked for the Siuslaw News, where she wrote countless theatre and concert reviews, as well as feature stories and press releases celebrating the enor- mity of talents and local artists. She continues to write, in her well deserved retirement, and has recently published three books — two slim vol- umes of opera reviews and one rollicking novel set in the Oregon dunes where anything can happen. Garelick’s book, “It’s Not Over: Mornings at the Met,” contains seven reviews from the 2013-14 season of the Metropolitan Opera. “Mew and Cry: Catcall from the Box” contain 10 reviews from the 2014-15 Met season. Her novel, “Big Dunes Gold Doubloons Coffee Spoons and Looney Tunes” transports Diva, the doctor, and Gelato the talking cat, over the river into the dunes and across the pond for a series of preposterous adven- tures, including pirates, Amelia Earhart, medicinal beetles, teddy bears, King Midas and the Red Nuns of Fuschia. This is all done with excep- tional humor, breath-catch- ing-and-taking reviews of actual local concerts and plays presented over the last decade. All three books are avail- able on Amazon.com, as well as at The Silver Lining Boutique. Donate decorated wreaths for festival peacehealth.org/foundations Visit us online: www.TheSiuslawNews.com.

DiMuro’s pillow art, along with her striking and provocative two-dimensional art, has become a holiday tra- dition at the gallery. The smaller Haiku pillows are varied in content and each one is completely unique. DiMuro’s astute artistic attention to detail in her pil- lows, collages and paintings truly sets her creations apart.
