SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2018 | 7A Annual art ‘Extravaganza’ to be held at Silver Lining Everyone is invited and encouraged to come to the 9th Annual Janey DiMuro and Rhonda Butler Christ- mas Holiday Extrava-ganza, which will be a champagne and treats art reception at Silver Lining Boutique on Saturday, Dec. 8, between 3 and 5 p.m. “We want to ring in the holidays with kindness to- wards others, health and happiness for all while filling people’s eyes with beautiful local artistic creations,” said Silver Lining owner Kimber- ly Fleenor. “This cornucopia of creativity by these fasci- nating Florence artists will not only delight the eyes but possibly inspire hidden ter- rific talents inside others in this amazing town.” DiMuro is known for a variety of artistic endeavors and will have a new array of her well-known handmade pillows of exquis-ite fabrics from around the world. Her trademark intricate stitch- ing and attention to de- tail sets the cozy cushions apart from the rest. Each is one-of-a- kind and extraor- dinarily handcrafted, said Fleenor. DiMuro is also well known for her topical current events collages that inspire and evoke conversations. “We always have a crowd that en- gages in comments, laughter, tears and solutions,” Fleenor said. “There is never a dull moment when this reception is in full gear.” Butler is also well known for her continuous contribu- tions and participation with Florence Food Share. In ad- dition, her woodworks are unique in scope, style and sophistication, with a variety of woods collected from her own property and chiseled, poked, proded, carved, sand- ed, glazed, oiled and mount- ed for the maximum display factor. “Many of us are guilty of continually walking by many woods without realizing their innate and extreme beauty, colors and intricate grains that are inherent to their na- ture,” said Fleenor. “Rhonda has the complex abilities to bring out the various beau- ties that Mother Nature has provided them with — but which we seldom notice. Rhonda capitalizes each kind of wood’s unique qualities to create incredible art.” Butler uses wood combi- nations to create sculptures, sushi boards, bowls, collages and completely natural com- positions. The Christmas Holiday Champagne Extravaganza will take place during De- cember’s Second Saturday Artwalk. “I guarantee anyone who attends will be amazed, in- spired and filled with won- derment while surrounded by good friends and great holiday cheer,” Fleenor said.
