Edson, Ignatieff featured artists in March
Backstreet Gallery, 1421
Bay St., will feature artwork by
Gary Edson and Claudia
Ignatieff throughout March.
Edson’s collection of one-of-
a-kind glass etchings includes
both decorative and utilitarian
pieces. The etchings are hand
masked and razor cut, then
sand blasted with beach sand.
Moving to Florence more
than a year ago from Alaska,
Edson says he uses his artwork
to express the “love and respect
of the ocean in my art by shar-
ing my view of what has
brought me joy.”
Ignatieff uses aqua oils to
create her paintings, with ani-
mals being her favorite subject.
“I want to connect with
those who view my art by por-
traying the unconditional love
of pets and the beauty of
wildlife on the Oregon Coast,”

Winners announced for ‘Love Gone Bad’ poetry contest
Twelve performers enter-
tained the audience during the
FRAA sponsored, “Love Gone
Bad, You Done Me Wrong”
Poetry/Song Festival.
Hostess Sally Wantz started
the evening off by tossing out
packets of kleenex to those in
attendance. They came in
handy when stories of lost love,
abuse, and unrequited love
were expressed in poetry and
song. Audience members voted
and the top three performers
were Stephen Fowler with
“You Have to Excuse Me,”
Katie Brauns with an untitled
poem and Tres Eberhard with a
song called, “Don’t Need No
Man.”
A special judges award was
given to Brilee Sewall for her
spokenword poem.
This event was a fundraiser
for the “Give Youth A Voice”
program, which teaches high
school students to tell their
own stories through spoken-
word poetry. The class, taught
by poets Stephen Fowler and
Noah Schultz, will take place
at the Boys and Girls Club
Teen Center on Thursdays,
from 4 to 5 p.m., beginning
March 3.
