Jhenna Quinn Lewis, Millie Whipplesmith Plank, Dews Oil Paintings, Woodblock Prints, Ceramics August 19 – October 9 Gallery Hours: Thursday – Saturday: 12:00 – 5:00 Sunday: 12:00 – 4:00 Appointments are also available. This month’s exhibition features masterful oil paintings by Jhenna Quinn Lewis, rich woodblock prints by Millie Whipplesmith Plank, and stylized ceramics by Dews. Jhenna’s paintings are simple, intimate compositions that invite the viewer to closely examine the details of a bird in an unexpected setting. Through the manipulation of composition, subject matter, color, light, and shading, she brings out a subtle inherent quietness in her work. Alternatively, Millie’s prints celebrate the biodiversity and preservation of open spaces. Informed by her cattle ranching heritage, vibrant colors, simple shapes, and the nostalgia of traditional woodblock printing can be seen in her work. For Dews, she is inspired by the fusion of gardening with ceramics, whether it be realistic or whimsical. Dews’ stylized animals exude peaceful, playful, expressions, while adding just a touch of mysteriousness.

John/Robin Gumaelius & Robert Koch Ceramic Sculptures and Narrative Paintings May 13 – June 26 Gallery Hours: Thursday – Saturday 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. John and Robin Gumaelius Ceramic Sculptures 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. Robert Koch Narrative Paintings 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.
Gallerie Karon is moving! In the meantime, come check out our huge sale at our current location. We would rather sell it than move it! Stay tuned for our “reopening” date at the new location, 300 East Main.

Schuster’s art practice explores perception, memory, and the everyday life of public space, using walks as a source of inspiration. Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, Schuster received a BA in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire before moving to Las Vegas, where he lived and worked from 2005-2020. His works are held in both public and private collections, including the permanent collection of the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art in Las Vegas, Nevada. Laura Foster Reclaimed Materials My materials are sought in a lazy way; chanced upon, found by the curb. All have been part of some deliberate human action and are now disjoined from that action-perhaps no longer needed, perhaps worn out by that need. Unhitched and scattered, they are words of a sentence chopped apart and thrown into the yard. Threshold, fencepost, windowsill. Cardboard, curtain, shutter. The scattering remains here, the tender mawkishness of a thing […]

THE ETHEREAL SPIRIT June 1st, 2020 – September 1, 2020 JOIN US! FOR FIRST FRIDAY ART OPENING JULY 3rd, 2020 from 5:30pm-8:30pm Ashland Natural Medicine: 180 Lithia Way, Suite 103 ashlandnaturalmedicine.com The Ethereal Spirit is our special summer season art show at Ashland Natural Medicine. This nature inspired ethereal collection of painted leaves and natural yarn handmade “Creations” are a multi-layered effort in the artist crafting process. The hand painted leaves are a family collaboration. From the Illinois Valley, Joy Hoskins (mother) and her two daughters, Anita & Melanie work closely together to collect, preserve and craft, “Joy With Leaves”. Year round, Joy and her daughters enjoy hiking and notice the changes in leaves from season to season. These intricately crafted leaf paintings are an expression of these seasonal changes, the appreciation and respect for the places they have visited and for the deep love they have for one another. Having leaves passed down from Joy’s father as gifts while growing up, the three of them discovered that Southern Oregon offers a wide range of beautiful shapes, sizes, textures and colors of leaves. Over twenty years ago they happened to see a […]

Although we are temporarily closed, our Poet’s Garden can be seen through our windows. We’ve added a few things so the scenes are fresh. You’ll find an Oriental garden up front with a table where the poet has been working on his calligraphy. Examples by Liz Sheppard are above. Next is a natural setting with photographs by Ken Deveney and Jonah Bornstien and Steve pens a trail sketchbook. They are surrounded by pods, leaves and mushrooms. Straight ahead is the Italian garden with a beautiful outdoor sculpture holding a cornucopia of roses and ivy. Above her on a pedestal is a massive arrangement of more roses and trailing vines set off on the wall with a romantic painting by Rebecca Gabriel. There is a table set with Chianti and fruit for the gardener who is taking a break planting – basket and hat set aside. In the far corner you’ll find the French country garden. Bright and colorful with grape vines and a wonderful painting by Pegi Smith ” She Dreams of Ravens”.
Check out our May window. All items are for sale and you can contact us at info@ashlandartcenter.org. We will remain closed until further notice. Stay safe!

Annual High School Student Exhibition The March 2020 Exhibit features the work of three High School students: Jessica Hitchcock, Gail Schmidt and Avery Sayre. Jessica Hitchcock: As a student, I am constantly working towards a higher level of art production. I find value in pieces which demonstrate my improvement or mastery of a specific subject in art. I typically choose my subjects based on an emotional or intellectual stirring I get from it and how it can help me improve. My goal as a painter is to convey and accentuate the feeling I get from a subject to the viewer. I began drawing and painting when I was young and gradually moved towards it being a budding profession since early middle school when I began digital art. My digital process fluctuates but generally follows the order of choosing a subject or a few and blocking in about 3 rough sketches, then choosing or compiling the best parts. Next, I block out the values with broad shapes and slowly work with a smaller and smaller brush as I refine it, keeping each refinement on its own photoshop layer for this stage. […]

First Friday Art Opening March 6th, 2020 Ashland Natural Medicine Gallery of Art Presents SADDLE ROAD Nancy Puterbaugh & Molly McBrayer Feburary 6th, 2020 – March 31, 2020 Saddle Road, is a colorful story of the ever-changing face of nature/nurture and of two artists from two very different generations who are closely related. Grandmother, Nancy Puterbaugh and Granddaughter, Molly McBrayer for the first time ever are showing their incredible talents together. This 2020 New Year marks 20 years since the passing of her grandmother, Nancy. The combining of these two artists is not just a memorial, but more importantly a touching celebration of the power of inspiration passed down from one generation to another creating a legacy that lasts more than a single lifetime. Nancy Puterbaugh (Grandmother) a Plein Air Expressionist artist did not start painting until her husband retired. She was used to having her home to herself and when her husband retired she needed something to focus on. Inspired by Vincent Van Gough, she began to paint and soon became very close friends with the famous Bay Area painter, Pam Glover. Pam Glover is well known for […]

I believe not only of the magic of mystery, but of the expansion of the human mind.

Gallerie Karon’s October show is appropriately all about phantoms and masks. Wonderful artists who have died or moved away and seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, not to be found (ghosts or phantoms?). At any rate, they still show their outstanding artwork with us as do others who have simply moved away but still in touch.
Our phantoms include Jack MccLarty, Mari, Vernon Lawhorn, Micki McCormic and others. Along with their artwork we will show is masks from many countries. Masks from Africa to Japan and others.
The final category for the show will be a variety of puppets, (hand, string and rod). Look for the sales display of puppet heads and the English butler, monsters and very stranger “others”! Complete puppets are the “Villain” and the ” Witch” and a roller skating cow too!! Many of these are vintage and some are more contemporary like Kermit the Frog. Natural life like animal puppets complete the show.
It’s fun and spooky at the same time. Not so spooky is the live music jazz trio, Stolen Moments playing from 5 to 8 on First Friday.
Randall David Tipton, Jon Jay Cruson and Robert Schlegel breakdown the terrain around us into shapes, colors and marks, expressing distinctly personal visions.

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: […]

Art is something I stumbled upon while doing life back in 2003. It’s helped me in many ways and continues to do so! I want to forever be evolving in my paintings and my life, my hope is that when you view a piece of my art, it touches something inside of you! Antoinet (Toni) DeMello Ashland Oregon– 541-646-8320
You’ll see artifacts from Ashanti to Yuruba and from areas from Benin to Nigeria in this show. Exotic pieces include masks for ceremonies including face, helmet and shoulder types. (The wearer was host to a sacred being and not to be seen) Furniture, hand carved and handprinted, some with hammered metal embellishments, are not to be missed! These include stools of all kinds and a carved wood cabinet for sacred herbs and medicines. Our centerpiece is a rare handmade leopard bench made for a very prominent King or Chief. (the leopard is a sign of power and this one is munching on a crocodile ) We love our leopards and have several in bronze from Benin (one is life size!) These are complimented with photographs by Judy Benson LeNeir. Pegi Smith has contributed a striking portrait of an African woman. The late Vernon Lawhorn and his wife Jane, show more portraits and versions of textiles in paintings. All these exotic pieces will be on display for purchase in our main gallery and in our new special African room in the The Feathered Wing,

Marcy Greene’s process of creating art is a mysterious journey. She has come to revel in the wonder of listening in different ways – waiting for an image to reveal itself. Getting it “right” or “beautiful” is never the goal. The Muse is put off by artificial judgments. Creating art is a leap of faith. Talent Cellars will be pouring a selection of their delicious wines from 5-7 pm, be sure to make it down for a sip!

Others were used in ceremonies to insure good crops, fertility or to celebrate auspicious occasions.
Many were worn for ceremonial dances (if the wearer couldn’t see, he was supported and guided by men on either side)
Fantastic furniture will be shown – the most unusual being a hand carved cabinet for sacred herbs and medicines and is carved all around.

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. He is a member of the board of Ashland Little League and enjoys sports and card games in his spare time.“

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, […]
