Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 13, 1996 - THREE
Heppner a perfect place to launch art career
B y K im A . C o o k
Sandra Haynes knows Hepp
ner is the perfect place to
launch her national career as a
Western and wildlife artist.
"H eppner is the body and
soul of what I'm trying to cap-
ture-the heart of the Western
image," she said.
Haynes' work will go on dis
play at Murray's Drug Store in
Heppner, courtesy of John and
Ann Murray and her aunt and
uncle, Meg and Rod Murray.
The artist isn't sure who is
more excited about this event,
her or her aunt. "S he's been
my champion for a long time,"
said Haynes.
Currently living in Molalla,
Haynes is a self-taught artist
practicing since age five. She
waited until the ripe age of 12
to begin seriously training her
self in Western and wildlife art.
"M y family were all involved
in music, woodworking, stone
cutting-everyone had an in
terest in the arts," she adds. "It
was considered norm al."
Horses were her first subjects
and being around the rodeo cir
cuit after high school reinforc
ed her love of Western scenes.
Life came along and she put
her art aside to raise a family,
but she couldn't resist finding
time to practice and learn the
basics of acrylics, pen and ink,
pencil and pastels.
"M y personal style develop
ed about 15 years ago," said
Haynes. "I describe it as a step
beyond photo realism. More
like a photo painting, showing
animals as they look in the
wild, instead of a romanticized
effect. I want to capture the
reality and preserve the heri
tage that makes up the Ameri
can W est."
A trend Haynes has noticed
creeping into her paintings late
ly are scenes which many
might consider rare or un
known animal behavior. "Peo
ple who've spent a good deal
of time on the land or living in
the wild see these types of
behaviors," said Haynes. "But
they're seldom in the reference
books.1" '
True to her art)' Haynes
spends many days in the wild
observing animal behavior.
"I'm probably better known in
Troy than H ep p n er," she
laughed. "They call me the ar
tist lady in Troy."
Haynes is probably one of the
few campers who actually en
tices wildlife into her camp.
She spends much of her time
in the Wenaha wilderness,
away from the public and
cam p grounds. Her payoff
comes with the volume of
wildlife she sees.
"A special thanks goes to the
people of the Wenaha game
commission district," she ac
know ledged. "Those folks
have schlepped me all over to
get close to mountain sheep
and other wildlife. I may not
see another human the whole
time I'm out there."
Haynes career is off to a good
start with successful juried
shows this past year at the 1995
Wild West Art Show in St.
Paul, a one-person show at the
- Art Reach Gallery in Portland
and the Canby Wine and Art
Festival. She is slated to show
at the Canby and St. Paul
shows again in June and July,
then the Pendleton Round-Up
and Mule Days in Enterprise
d u rin g S eptem ber. O ther
shows, as yet undecided, will
be added during the year. The
Western Reflections Art Show
in Spokane in November wili
wrap up her schedule next
year. Her work is in many
private collections and is plac
ed in public and private offices.
Haynes credits her husband,
Ron Zacher, her father and
stepmother, Jake and Phyllis
Haynes of Lexington, and
m any
fam ily
m em bers
throughout Oregon with being
her biggest fans. "M y family
encouraged me to quit my full
time engineering technician job
and take the plunge three years
ago," she said. "M y art career
has far exceeded anything I
ever dreamed about. Quitting
my job couldn't have been a
better move for me. Besides,
Ron likes having an artist in the
family. There's never a dull
m om ent."

few minutes whether refinancing
now will save you money.
