‘Visual Dynamics’ in Gallery One
Gallery One is featuring the exhibit ‘Visual
Dynamics,’ a special, four-artist show that high-
lights the artwork of South Coast artists Pat
Snyder of Coos Bay, Susan Lehman of Bandon,
Janne LaVelle of Lakeside and Wendy Ralston-
Burger of North Bend.
The group’s first show together, titled “Then and
Now,” was hosted at Pacific Park Gallery in Coos
Bay, where the exhibit received accolades for its
combination of experimental paintings in oil,
acrylics and collages.
Throughout August, visitors can experience
these artist’s interpretations of earthly elements
through a mixture of mediums.
