I have been creating unique embroidery art most of my life. From a child at my grandmother’s knee through my youth embroidering on clothing to now creating statement pieces based on my life and world travels.

Several times a year, Ashland Art Center offers its Artist Members the opportunity to participate in an artist member show. The next show will be held on First Friday, August 2, from 10:00 am – 8:00 pm in the main classroom. Artist, Jay Gordon, Kristine Ballenger and Andre Satie will be showcasing their work. Jay Gordon Show: The Inky Ocean Series The Inky Ocean series developed out of a love of watercolor, ink and printmaking, along with the beauty of aquatic life in Japanese artwork, particularly within the history of traditional Japanese printmaking. I love the process of taking an initial drawing or idea and considering how it can be rendered with different types of materials, which influence the mood, structure, and graphic story of each creature. The juxtaposition of the fluid transparency of watercolor combined with the solidity of ink is endlessly interesting to me as an artist, as are the variety of prints that can be created with the processes of relief print, intaglio and monoprinting. Each of these methods has in common the combination of careful planning along with a significant element of chance and surprise. Kristine Ballenger Show: […]

It’s a reflection on my experiences with mental health, race, gender roles and child-rearing, and how they’ve been influenced by my family (split between Republic, Washington and Charleston, South Carolina). Through this work I have realized that I am not “two halves” of one thing, but one whole “something else”.

Art photographer John Kirk’s new show “My Avian Friends” opens First Friday, April 5th at the Photographers’ Gallery in the Ashland Art Center, 357 E. Main, Ashland. Kirk views birds as flying works of art and his unique photographic style places them in their wild landscapes and domestic settings.
David Nau I paint the vibrations of nature. All matter vibrates at a particular frequency, that frequency can be influenced by its surroundings. Water to ice, water to steam. When different gemstones are placed together they form a symphony of vibrations. Like a composer writes sheet music, I paint the symphony with genuine gemstone and organic watercolor pigments.
A sense of adventure to explore the edge just outside the box
A sense of play for the creative journey

Sunday, March 31st 5:30 pm (45 min.) Art & Soul Gallery, 247 E. Main St. Wine and Cheese while you mingle and meet after the lecture Kevin Yell is a semi-retired teacher and minister, as well as a multi-media artist, with a background in theatre, dance, writing and design – and mathematics! Originally from the UK, he now lives in Portland, Oregon, where, among other things, he is an occasional spiritual director and popular guest preacher and workshop leader in things spiritual and /or artistic. He is currently the President of the Clackamas County Arts Alliance, and on the Board for New Century Players, theatre company. Kevin believes that the urge to create – whether art, cooking, gardens, or as a true teacher etc., – is a uniquely human activity: We are the only part of creation that continually uses external symbols to communicate. These “communications” often speak to our “Spirit” and our sense of “Spirituality.” They can also be seen as ways in which we mimic the fundamental nature of the Divine as understood in the Judeo/Christian story of Genesis. This Presentation will explore the two sides of the […]
Spring is here and Oak Leaf Studio is open again with new work by Ashland artist Leif Trygg. These colorful pastel paintings capture the beauty of the seasons in Southern Oregon. Prints and greeting cards of selected works are available for sale.
“ALL IN THE FAMILY” was inspired last Autumn when the staff at Ashland Natural Medicine (www.ashlandnaturalmedicine.com) realized that when we are not taking care of our amazing patients we find ourselves making art to unwind, to rejuvenate and to dive into our true selves. The saying is authentic: Art is Life, Life is Art. For us, art is essential to our personal growth and wellbeing. It allows us to express ourselves in empowering ways that we cannot normally do in our everyday lives. It gives us a stronger connection to life and our purpose here, now. At Ashland Natural Medicine we are not just healers, but we are also jewelers, drawers, photographers, poets, digital artists and painters. We come with many talents. This special show is a beautiful collection of who we are at the core and what we value. An important guide in our mission statement says, “Family First”. We stand behind those words because we strongly feel that if we do not take care of ourselves and our family first then we are unable to reach the potential of taking care of our patients at the highest level […]

Artists Bio – Jesse Smith was born in Mt. Shasta City, CA in 1983. Having grown up in the Southern Cascades region, he has a close relationship with the area’s natural environments. Jesse has always been drawn to the outdoors. From camping in Northern California and Southern Oregon as a kid, to living out on a local golf course in the summers. He has always had an appreciation for the area, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that he took the path of capturing it and sharing it with the world. After college Jesse began his career as an accountant and raised his two kids, Kai & Orion, alongside his wife Andrea.

These transformer explosion-induced fires leveled entire towns and burned thousands of acres in minutes. These events point to the larger phenomenon of increasingly severe and prolonged fire seasons in the western states–both in wildlife-urban interface zones and in back country areas. Landscape painting has long sought to idealize territories, often for expansionist purposes and this was particularly true in the American context. The paradises depicted in the paintings were both harbingers of the consequences to follow and denials of the realities of colonization, resource extraction, […]

“I have been fortunate to spend much of my career and recreation time exploring nature. It is fascinating to examine all the details, above and below ground, up close and from a landscape perspective. Every square inch of our natural world contains something artistically beautiful and scientifically interesting. I like to pick out one aspect of the environment and hold it up for inspection, with all its imperfections and variation. By changing perspective, focus, season and habitat, I have an infinite palette, and an unlimited source of inspiration.” Paula R. Fong received her B.S. in Biology from Denison University and her M.S. in Forest Ecology from the College of Forestry, Oregon State University. Her twelve years as a soil scientist and ecologist with the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service gives her a unique perspective of the art in nature. Paula’s primary medium is watercolor with pen and ink. She has illustrated numerous scientific publications, plant and wildlife posters, trail guides, and interpretative trail signs. She lives on a mountain top in rural Southern Oregon.
Nora Costley, Watercolorist, shares her artistic evolution through self discovery and the mystery of the universe.

Ashland Natural Medicine of Contemporary Art Presents “LIGHT OF LOVE” A Stunning Collection of Paintings by, HARMONEE ASHLEE FIRST FRIDAY ART OPENING: DECEMBER 7TH, 2018 5:30pm-8:30pm LOCATION: 180 Lithia Way, Suite 103, Ashland OR Originally from Idaho, eight years ago Harmonee Ashlee found Ashland and realized this region of the world would become her permanent home. Harmonee has always lived her life immersed in creativity. She enjoys using acrylics, oils and pastels as her favorite mediums. For Harmonee, “Art for me is a path of discovery and healing. When I begin a painting, I don’t know what I am going to create. I surrender to the Muse and to Love, encountering soulful messages that unfold on the canvas, and then I develop what is revealed to me. This has become one of my primary spiritual practices as I play with the unknown, digest experiences, and deepen in my heart, and the heart of Creativity”. As an artist, she is most influenced by Freydoon Rassouli, who is her mentor and favorite artist. One can clearly see his influences in her paintings. In addition to being a talented painter, Harmonee is a […]

By meditating on these images, one may recognize their own presence idling within. Further contemplation awakens insight into the “non-duality of subject and object,” or the sound of one hand clapping. Thorndike Gallery (Art Building): Acts of Gradual Progression, Sheila Lam & Bridget Quinn, Group Exhibition Acts of Gradual Progression is about longings to create genuine connections through vulnerability and creative exploration.

Linda has been painting for more than 20 years and holds a BFA from the University of Central Oklahoma. She teaches painting and mixed media techniques to students of all skill levels. Her creative energy alternates between several bodies of work, including: traditional oils, abstract acrylics, and mixed media. The use of vibrant color is a common thread connecting her various artistic expression. She is represented by the Ashland Art Center Gallery and maintains studio 7 on the upper level. More information about her work and classes is available at ljdixon.com. Artist Statement Enchantment I moved to the rogue Valley almost three ago and have explored my new environment through painting. This body of oil paintings reflects my enchantment with the natural beauty all around me. Capturing the essence of a subject is more interesting than recording every detail. I strive to convey the energy and luminosity animating each subject. Rich color and the juxtaposition of transparent versus opaque color are prominent features in my work. Palette knives are often employed to keep the colors fresh and impart texture.
This month Oak Leaf Studio re-opens its main gallery with paintings by artist Leif Trygg. Prints and cards of the artist’s work will also be on sale.
Faces Hidden and Revealed – Held Over!
Masks, Puppets and Portraits
There’s a couple of twists to the annual mask and puppet show this year at Gallerie Karon. We’ve added portraits to the mix. That area will include work by Robert Paulmenn, Pam Danielle, Brooks Garden Hauschild and Richard LeVitt among others.
The most unusual offering is from a private collection of vintage ventriloquist dummies. It’s rare to see a grouping like this and all for sale!
Hand puppets are also in the evidence and many, many animals are represented. Other puppets are stringed marionettes.
Our extensive mask collection comes from all over the world. It includes helmet, face and shoulder masks. ( We have a few fun ones for Halloween wearing too! )

The blurring, “imperfect” photographs have allowed a certain vibrance to come across… An energy that adds a dimension of continuance. Instead of a moment frozen in time, these photographs retain the motion and exertion of a past action. Each motion is specifically accentuated by the lighting. The lighting helps to suspend the motion and highlight the core of each action taken. Thorndike Gallery (Art Building): Treasures of the Backroom, Curated by Madeleine Farmer & Paige Gerhard Treasures of the Backroom reflects SOU’s educational history, particularly within the Art Department. Chosen based on color and aesthetic, the subjects […]

First Friday Art Opening at Ashland Natural Medicine: 180 Lithia Way September 7th, 2018 5:30pm-8:30pm Abstract Artist: Meggan Baron WANDERING THROUGH THE SENSUOUS It will be a happy smoke free night! So come on out and meet the talented artist, Meggan Baron. Meggan is a graduate with a BFA from long ago when SOU was SOSC. She was also raised in Ashland and is so very exited to be showing her collection of art at Ashland Natural Medicine in her hometown. Her work is truly stunning. She is a master of transforming LINE and creating whimsical compositions that are filled with color, shapes and movement. Meggan’s art explores the nuances of the abstract mark using the mediums that she loves, acrylic and collage on muslin. With loops, whirls, spheres, circles and gestural line work, this art show invites you to wander through the sensuousness of that exploration. Meggan writes, “My favorite medium is acrylic paint. On fabric I am using Jacquard […]
All Women Artists Invitational
Over 20 female artists are represented in this popular annual show. Part II opens September 7. The main attraction for this segment is the 6 1/2 ‘X 6 1/2’ photographic wall hanging of two giraffes taken by Judy Benson LeNier in Tanzania. This spectacular piece is the first of its kind to be shown for sale at Gallerie Karon.
Pam Danielle is back with two photographs of local males. There is also a portfolio of all the types of photography she does in her local studio – weddings to portraits.
Whitney Rolfe shows her latest work. Color rather than black and white and loose abstracts rather than tight geometries. She is now working in mixed media.
One of a kind hand painted, highly spiritual rattles trimmed with feathers, leather and beads that each have their own unique sound, made by Kelly Springer.
As you can see, Part II involves many new additions to this annual show at Gallerie Karon
We will feature the work of Noriko Sugita and Cheryl Williams in September. Noriko Sugita is a printmaker who works with traditional Japanese woodcut in a playful way, with complex layers of color, form and mark-making. Sculptor, Cheryl Williams manipulates thrown ceramic forms into elegant, curving twists and circular shapes with often metallic or patina finish. Join us for a reception for the artists during the Ashland First Friday Artwalk, September 7th, 5-8 pm. Show runs September 7th – October 2nd. Noriko Sugita’s work depends on momentary inspiration, letting shapes and colors explore deep thought. Inventive and animated, her use of shapes and lines suggests human emotion and relationships or elaborate fictional worlds. Sugita often layers thin pigments of saturated color along with active marks through a reductive woodcut printing technique. While this makes for small editions it allows for increased detail and color. Cheryl Williams was raised in California and spent time camping in the Sierra Mountains where she was influenced by the rivers, stones and light. She moved to Oregon to start a career in the Arts in the early 1980’s. After many years establishing herself as a […]

Kate Geary, a Ashland photographer, opens her new show Where Sea Meets Sand at The Photographers’ Gallery At The Ashland Art Center on August 3rd during the 1st Friday Art Walk. Her show explores the seaside beaches of Bandon and the Oregon Dunes near Reedsport, OR. The sea creates an ever-changing, often dramatic interface with the land. It shapes wide sandy beaches, rough rock-cobbled shores strewn with shells and other gifts from the sea, or flat vistas strewn with towering rock formations. The remote beaches of southern Oregon seems to go on forever and gives one a sense of utter solitude. But upon closer inspection, a multitude of sea-dependent creatures cling to the rocks in multi-colored tenaments exposed by low tide. Wind is the sea’s partner is shaping the coastal landscape. Where the sea has created fine particles of sand, the wind spins it into myriad, ever-changing shapes and designs. At the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area one could easily imagine being in an exotic desert in far distant lands. But glancing down, there are exquisite abstract designs at your feet. Kate’s new show explores the intersection between sea and land on the dramatic Oregon coast. Kate has also […]
John works from a passion about mixing paints and colors that eventually takes me by the hand to the paintings desired destination. His paintings are full of hopeful optimism.

Dana is a board member for Sanctuary One, a volunteer for Friends of the Animal Shelter (FOTAS), and an artist member with HeARTsSpeak—a global community of artists, shelter staff, rescue volunteers, and animal advocates working together to ensure that no shelter animal goes unseen. Dana is also a mom to three former shelter dogs and five adopted bunnies. More of Dana’s work can be seen on her website www.danafeagin.com or at the Ashland Art Center.

Robert Koch, Peter VanFleet & Pamela Kroll are three painters indulging in the freedom of playing outside the lines. Join us for a reception for the artists during the First Friday Art Walk, August 3rd, 5-8 p.m. Show runs August 22nd – September 4th. Robert Koch Gestural strokes and spontaneous marks collide with color blocks in Robert Koch’s narrative vignettes. Often prompted by found photographs, Koch takes the liberty to make his subjects humans or creatures inhabiting the same world. Having the appearance of quickness and even naiveté, Koch’s deft drawing skills mean each mark is playful and intentional at the same time. Peter VanFleet Part painting, part sculpture, Peter Van Fleet‘s work invites us to experience dimensionality, structure, and vibrant color. In this new body of work Peter has reworked paintings appropriated from other artists. He calls these paintings “Cowbirds”, referring to that bird which lays its eggs in another bird’s nest so that fledgling will be raised by the host. Pamela Kroll Influenced by folk art, myth, and cultures from around the world, Pamela works with acrylic on paper, combining collage elements such as wires, beads, sequins, bird bones, and […]

It’s been several years since Gallerie Karon has done an all photography show. Photography artists have become more and more important despite the realization that everyone has a cell phone with a camera. It’s a fact that a snap of your Aunt Maudy in front of the Taj Mahal or a cute selfie is not art. Our artists will inspire to take more time, care and possibly a lesson or two to produce really worthy pictures.
Included in our show are about 15 artists including Pam Danielle, Todd Davis, Jesse Widener and Jamie Lusch. Subjects include portraits, wildlife and scenes from Ashland and Africa. There are a full range of styles and techniques such as silver prints, color, black and white and prints on metal. There is inspiration to be found at this exhibit at Gallerie Karon!

In his thesis exhibition, he hopes to illustrate the constant tension between these polarized forces, and instill a heightened awareness in the viewer of their relative position amidst this balance. The large scale drawing is a manifestation of both extremes, and his interpretation of how these forms, in their isolation and intersection, can be represented through mark making. Thorndike Gallery (Art Building): Seasons, Taylor Sayles, Solo Exhibition Seasons depicts the emotion and drama from one model throughout a variety of photo sessions. With this series, I […]

RSVP Required Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez, Casta Paintings Douglas Melini, When the Moon Hangs on the Wall: Landscapes, Seascapes, and Abstracts Esther Ruiz, Hyperion Karla Wozniak, I Often Dream of Mountains Heiter Gallery: Image caption: Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez, Mulata, Ink on Tyvek Collage, 80×40 inches, 2017 Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez, Casta Paintings Anchored in feminism, my work is informed by North and South American cultural forms that become fused together. My practice is a bicultural and trans-cultural experience; it speaks of difference and opposites. I grew up in Colombia and migrated to the US when I became an adult. Today, I make art in two languages dealing with the curious and extraordinary experience of roaming between these two worlds. Yet, there is an important piece of myself rooted in Colombia. I create visual expressions dealing with hybridity and syncretism that has taken place since the conquest of the Americas which is replicated and experienced in the migration process. I am currently creating a visual novel comprised of paintings, sculptures and mixed media that together, and in different […]
“Art whispers, an essence, glimpse of our soul, it reflects connection to the universe & far off familiar dreams…a lasso cast out to stars, catch distant memories brought back to earth”.

The stylized landscapes of Jon Jay Cruson will be featured alongside the playful ceramic figures of Robin and John Gumaelius in June. Join us for a reception for the artists on Friday, June 1st 5-8 p.m. during Ashland’s First Friday Artwalk. Show runs June 1st – 29th. Jon Jay Cruson is a true West Coast artist. His paintings, stylized shapes, patterns and colors, are the result of much time spent studying the Pacific Northwestern landscape. His style is unsullied by trends or fashions. While remaining representational, his paintings tend toward the abstract, a double pull that is one source of the creative tension in his work. His work is included in countless permanent collections including Portland Art Museum, University of Oregon Museum of Art and The Victoria Albert Museum, London, England. Robin and John Gumaelius, collaborating artists and husband and wife, create articulated human and birdlike sculptures. They combine ceramic, steel and wood as they form highly inventive sculptures that are often comical or bizarre. Elements of children’s stories, religious icons, reliquaries, Medieval and Renaissance history, African skin decoration and holy relics from Germany can be seen in their work. […]

Artist as Poet
Artists are not always thought of as poets but in fact often are. Our show features both sides.
Silvia Trujillo consistently produces original paintings that express her love of nature with different surfaces, approaches and subjects in her work.
Lewis Anderson, Marly Eidsness and Jamie Hutchinson will be featured in May. In this exhibit which includes photography, painting and metal sculpture each artist introduces us to new visions of the world through delicate and thoughtful fabrication and invention. Join us for an artist reception on Friday, May 6th, 5-8 pm. Show runs May 6th-29th. Lewis Anderson accurately describes his art as being somewhere between photography and painting, somewhere between East and West, somewhere between contemporary and ancient. The images invite the viewer to explore quiet moments in diverse, invented landscapes full of light and shadow and symbology that emanate a strong sense of peace, solitude and mystery. James Hutchinson‘s intuitive landscape’s are inspired by Chinese landscape work of the 10th-15th centuries. The compressed space and obsessive lines give the impression of topographic maps yet glimpses of sky and distant mountains brings you back to a sense of environment, though not one that is familiar. These landscapes have the feel of fantasy. Marly Eidsness‘s wire mesh sculptures of birds assembled into shapes and poses we recognize as the majestic great blue heron […]

By including larger than life paintings, sculpture, and video, the scale gives a sense as to how overpowering one event may have been.

PLEASE JOIN US “HOLDNG ONTO THE AMERICAN HERO” ARTWORK BY: HARRIET GREENE & MARTY GOLDMAN Open Monday – Friday : 9:00am-5:00pm Location: Ashland Natural Medicine 180 Lithia Way, Suite 103 For More Information Contact: Samae Chlebowski at info@ashlandnaturalmedicine.com “Holding Onto the American Hero” is the newest art show at Ashland Natural Medicine that looks deeply into the vanishing icons of our country’s history. Over 10 years ago, Harriet Greene and Marty Goldman moved to the Rogue Valley bringing with them several thousand pounds of carving stone, published books, produced films and commercials, and large body of remarkable artwork. Together these two work from their home studios in Talent, Oregon creating artwork that is meaningful, thought provoking and crafted with such care and beauty. HARRIET GREENE Harriet created her stone cut print series titled, “Oratory of Eight Great Chiefs” because she was inspired and deeply moved by the speeches of the great American Indian Chiefs. She states, “Numerous Indian tribes, Bannock, Shoshone, Snake, travelled through the Jackson Hole Valley to their final hunting grounds in Yellowstone. Being in such close proximity spurred my interest to their plight and I needed to […]
With the current political climate, I see friends and family in turmoil. The need for hope and compassion, acceptance and inclusion, is needed now, more than ever. A willingness to pull together and move forward in a time of chaos is by far the largest hurdle. To fight against this chaos, I choose to show the positive possibilities. In my artwork, I strive to express feelings of optimism, to convey courage, to give a sense of wonder. It is my wish that hope has the ability to conquer.
Ashland Art Center Member Show March 16, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Featured Artists: Shoshanah Dubiner, Micah Ofstedahl & Art Van Kraft Shoshanah Dubiner Dubiner is an artist and designer whose creativity has found expression in a wide range of disciplines including costume design, museum exhibition design, computer graphics and animation, and fine arts painting (with gouache as her primary medium). Since 2007, (after attending a class at SOU in cell biology), she has found artistic inspiration in the microscopic world. A large reproduction of her “Dndosymbiosis: Homage to Lynn Margulis” hangs in the Morrill Science Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Reproductions of her paintings about pollinators are installed near the beehives at SOU’s The Farm. The originals of all these works are featured at SOU’s Hannon Library. Micah Ofstedahl My work invokes awareness of the complexity and beauty of the world around us, seen and unseen. To achieve this I incorporate lesser-known elements of nature and science into my paintings in addition to my creative interpretation of the unseen, mysterious components of life. Observable scientific subject matter may include microscopic views of single-cell radiolarians, the facets of a bee’s eye, or anatomy right down to the cellular level and beyond. I believe […]

In 1976, Spencer Heath MacCallum walked into Bob’s Swap Shop in Deming, New Mexico. There, among the battered pans and chipped china, he came across three, handmade, ceramic pots. Each was perfectly symmetrical, with red and black painted geometric designs covering the extremely thin clay walls. He purchased the pots and took them back home to California. Over the coarse of the next month he couldn’t get the three pots or the unknown maker out of his mind. On his next trip back he asked the owner of the Swap Shop if she had any idea who made them. She did not, but suggested that “Mexico would be a good place to start.” Spencer decided then and there he must find this artist. With only three pictures of the pots to go by, he set off through northern Mexico looking for this unknown potter. He assumed it must be a woman, as all the great American Southwest potters had been: Nampeyo, who revived the Hopi pottery tradition, Maria Martinez (Poveka) of San Ildefonso Pueblo, and Lucy Lewis of Acoma Pueblo. After a day or two of searching, they were given […]

Eva is a local artist who paints in oils and is best known for her artwork featuring the bears of Alaska’s Denali and Katmai National Parks. Additionally, Eva has produced a number of paintings featuring various species of owls and wolves. Educated in Riga, Latvia with degrees in both Biology and Art, Eva enjoys traveling throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and the Rockies, submerging herself in the flora and fauna these beautiful regions have to offer. An avid birder and hiker, she discovered a passion for Oregon birds including Great Grey Owls, Northern Spotted Owls, Barred Owls, Barn Owls, Burrowing Owls and Great Horned Owls. Over many nesting seasons, Eva had numerous Great Grey Owl sightings, allowing her to observe this elusive owl. She studied young fledglings and adults in all seasons, perched secretly in trees at the edge of meadows. With her passion for nature, Eva has captured the realistic beauty of her subjects while opting for surrealistic, dreamy backgrounds. One not only sees the majesty of these animals on canvas but is also invited, by the artist, to “feel” the experience amidst soaring mountains, deep wooded forests and […]

My major focus is nature and wildlife preservation for which I have always had love and admiration. Art teaches me that mistakes are fixable and not everything must be perfect.
ANM Gallery of Contemporary Art is thrilled to host local Ashland artist, Jennifer Jensen’s newest works of art titled: Africa, Fashion & Photography This exceptional show is a beautiful combination of creative expression and inspiration from her travels to Selous Game Reserve, in South West Tanzania where she photographed wildlife in the bush and then onto Zanzibar where Jensen purchased African fabrics to bring home and design her clothing. Line, color, shape and texture are just some of the strong art elements that weave together her clothing design choices and carefully selected compositions in each safari image. The care and attention to detail in creating each clothing and photograph clearly makes a statement of her devotion and passion to her crafts. Each dress, each skirt each jacket, are wearable individual art pieces that are truly stunning. These garments purposefully are hung on the gallery walls side by side with the photographs. Together these two different mediums emulate a uniquely original show that ignites the true essence of Africa’s wildlife, geography, textiles and culture. Meet the artist, Jennifer Jensen Please join us for 1st Friday Art Opening: January 5th, 2018 […]

In celebration of Robert DeVoe’s painting career we have gathered a body of work from galleries and personal archives and are proud to host this exhibition at Hanson Howard Gallery to close out the 2017 season along with our traditional Gallery Artists’ Salon. Join us in a reception for the artists on First Friday, December 1st, 5-8 p.m. Exhibition runs November 24- December 30th. Robert C. DeVoe, master Realist Painter began his career as an artist with Hanson Howard Gallery in the early 1980’s and was soon receiving recognition and awards in national exhibitions. An English Professor for 20 years at SOU, he retired early to become a full time artist. He has been included in major exhibitions and collections across the country throughout his long and successful career. His painting of our local mountain range was chosen for the cover of The Artist and the American Landscape, a book sold in museum book stores. He is most noted for his extraordinary still life paintings. His use of color, light and texture embodies the finest attributes of the Realist Painting genre. In the classical tradition, they represent life with authenticity.
Give this holiday season a more meaningful touch with gifts created by local artists. We’ve been busy designing unique holiday creations sure to delight your friends, family, and yourself!

These are paintings that communicate mood and a sense of time by coloring the light and shadow of each season, scene, or still life with a perception of beauty that begs for acknowledgment.
Three large digital prints including The Tempest are pulled out of storage for a new glimpse. The Tempest was created for the Shakespeare as Muse exhibit at the Schneider Museum of Art in 2004.
