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

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-

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.

PG-13 130 MIN - “An enchanting reminder of 3:20 PM
why we ever hid comic books under our beds in 6:20 PM
the first place…It’s a human film, oozing with 9:05 PM
heart and believable stakes, a brilliant marriage
that mirrors the enduring ethos of the Spider-Man
comic books. Hey, who would have thought that
relating to a hero would prove ideal?” COS

Like the new nemesis voiced by Trey Parker, it

“This is a film about coming to the end of things,
not unlike his last film I’ll See You In My Dreams,
and being alright with all that’s past. The Hero is a
bittersweet celebration of life, with laughs and
tears in equal measure.” The Film Stage
