Durst, Moore featured artists at Silver Lining Gallery
FLORENCE — April showers bring
two unique imagery artists and their strik-
ing photography to The Gallery Above the
Silver Lining Boutique, 2217 Highway
101, for the month.
The gallery will host a champagne and
hors d’eorve reception during the Second
Saturday Artwalk, April 9, between 3 and
5 p.m.
“Your senses will be titillated, your
eyes will be filled with wonder, your
imagination will run wild and wonderful-
ly trying to take in all of their combined
creativity and talents,” said gallery owner
Kimberly Fleenor.
The two featured visual artists are Al
Moore, whose work is the result of mak-
ing ordinary object extraordinary, and Bill
Durst, who creates unique digital compo-
sitions using tools that are available from
Photo Shop and Paint Shop.
“The results are completely astound-
ing,” said Fleenor. “His compositions
begin with a purely imaginary concept
and then metamorphosis takes place.
Durst doesn’t keep record of his steps,
so all of his works are truly one of a kind.
Moore has been interested in the pursuit
of the perfect photographic experience
from a young age. His past experiences,
“Old Bridge” by artist Bill Durst
such as working in the photo labs for the
NASA programs and his complete passion
for race cars, influence his works in ways
of wonderment for the viewers.
Moore covered Formula 1, CanAm and
Indy Car racing, has been published in
Road and Track, AutoWeek, Racing
Wheels, World Car Guide, and the British
magazine Motor Sport.
“Needless to say, he excels at what he
loves and his attention to detail truly sets
him apart from the rest,” said Fleenor.
“Both artists works are fresh, unabashed
and filled with excitement.
Come speak to the artists about their
methods, equipment and technique when
creating their art.
Sher Rosenburg joins Backstreet Gallery’s artist lineup
FLORENCE — Backstreet Gallery
recently announced a new member, Sher
Rosenberg. Her work has appeared in
Celebrate Arts, where she won several
awards and honorable mentions.
Like many artists, the affection for art
began in Rosenburg’s childhood. In her
case, it was while being raised on a cattle
ranch in central California. This offered a
great atmosphere of “fresh air, wide open
spaces, critters and chores to spark my
creativity,” said Rosenburg. “From gram-
mar school through the start of my teens, I
drew and painted much of what I saw.”
After living in the Bay Area and
Montana, she relocated to Florence in
2002, when she met renowned artist and
instructor Katheryn Davis.
Though Rosenburg took but a few
classes, she didn’t return to painting until
2006. After a 40-year hiatus, Roseburg

said of her craft, “I love every part of the
process... I paint for myself, but what a
rush when someone else likes it too.”
