Enjoy great local art, interactions with fellow patrons and artists, receptions, refreshments, live entertainment and communi- ty. B ACKSTREET G ALLERY During July, Backstreet Gallery, 1421 Bay St., is pleased to Meredith Draper, feature weaver and jewelry artist, and Susan Thomas, pastel artist. During the 2nd Saturday Gallery Tour, the gallery hon- ors them with a reception fea- turing music, great food and original art. Draper joined the gallery 9 years ago and has played an important role in making the gallery what it is today. She presently serves as president. She has dusted off her loom and currently adds beautifully hand-woven scarves to her collection of vintage time- piece jewelry. Using pastels, Thomas shows a masterful touch that makes one pause and enjoy the exceptional beauty of her work and wonder if it might be a painting. She works in soft pastels with bold strokes. Her creations show her spe- cial talent in use of vivid color in contrasting shades bathed in light. Her dramatic work definitely lights up a room. Join Backstreet at their reception or stop by the gallery this month to see the work of these talented artists. F LORENCE R EGIONAL A RTS A LLIANCE Florence Regional Arts Alliance, 120 Maple St. in Old Town, has added the art- work of Katie Miller to the Youth Wall in its gallery. Miller has been drawing, painting and creating as far back as she can remember. “I enjoy changing things up and working in a variety of mediums, but I always come back to colored pencil,” said Miller. “I love the precision of the pencils, the lack of mess and the ease of setting up. It does take time to layer the colors, one light applica- tion over another, slowly building up to heavier layers near the end — but I enjoy the process.” Animals are Miller’s favorite subject, be they wild, domestic or only imagined. She likes their vibrant colors and graceful motion, and strives to capture those quali- ties in her work. Miller’s artwork will be on display at FRAA Wednesdays through Sundays during July. The public is encouraged to come and meet this creative young artist while enjoying refreshments July 8. T HE G ALLERY A BOVE S ILVER L INING B OUTIQUE Artist extraordinaire Kyle Lind is the featured artist for the entire month of July. His mixed media art show will leave you filled with wonder- ment. A champagne and hors d’oeuvres reception will be held during the 2nd Saturday Gallery Tour. In addition to the gallery showing one of his largest pieces — 8 by 15 feet — many other inks, oils, acrylics and mixed montages will be available. Besides The Gallery Above being filled with his works, he also has a fully mobile art gallery, complete with lights, in the back of the Silver Lining Boutique, which will be fi lled with other art pieces he has created. Kyle is a famous fixture in the art world and has history with some of the most well known artists in modern his- tory, such as Andy Warhol, Kandinsky and more. “All my life I have done art - I think in an effort to find God,” Lind said. “What is the meaning of my being here on this planet? It has not been easy.” T HE R IVER G ALLERY The River Gallery, 1335 Bay St., will be honoring the memory of Florence artist, Gary O’Gara. O’Gara was born and raised on the southern California coast. His passion for art led him to travel to Europe to study the work of the Old Masters. From 1980 to the early 1990’s, his employment as designer and illustrator in the commercial art and architec- tural fields enabled him to work in many mediums, including watercolor, gouache and oils, as well as three dimensional structures. A trip along the Oregon coast with its turbulence and undeveloped natural beauty motivated him to move to Florence in 2009 and begin painting seascapes. O’Gara said, “As an artist, I’m often inspired by the cre- ation around me reflecting the hope that I see. ... I find that diffused light in the morning and evening, or after a pass- ing storm, creates the most suitable atmosphere for the mood I want to convey, while lending a sense of spirituality and peace.” Gary’s oil paintings of coastal scenes will be dis- counted 20 percent during the gallery tour. T HE S TUDIOS AT J AYNE S MOLEY D ESIGNS Resident artists Tamara Phillips, Gigi Lassan and Jayne Smoley invite all to “Ebb & Flo” during the 2nd Saturday Gallery Tour. Live music by Denny Weaver, refreshments and wine and conversations with the artists are all part of this featured show. The Studios will also fea- ture a popup boutique by entrepreneur Lindsey Phillips, owner of Meant MFG, based in Florence. Phillips’ handcrafted bags feature Pacific Northwest materials and a unique eye for versatility and fashion. Tamara Phillips will be pre- senting an underwater land- scape of jellyfish and magical figures. “Art is a tool that I use to express myself. Drawing inspiration from the stars, the colors of the ocean and the mysterious jellyfish, I use my paintbrushes, canvas and paint to create a world from my imagination,” she said. Visit The Studios for an underwater tour, Lassan’s unique jewelry designs and paintings and Smoley’s fused glass creations. Other 2nd Saturday Gallery Tour locations include Florence Events Center, Siuslaw Public Library and galleries in Historic Old Town Florence and Uptown Highway 101. The tour begins at any of the partici- pating locations. For more information, visit 2ndSaturdayGalleryTour.com.
