Yes it's just a tease. A sneak preview for the avid Deggendorfer collector! You can look but you can't touch, smell or even buy! For all you collectors (and first time buyers) – You will need to wait until Friday, October 30, 2009 for the official release. Plan on checking online, subscribe to our newsletter or better yet visit High Desert Gallery in Sisters Oregon to view and purchase one or both of Kathy's new prints. On October 30th the two new prints and stellar custom framing options will be available from High Desert Frameworks! and previewed in our Sisters Oregon fine art gallery.
If you can't get to Sisters on October 30th and want to get on the waiting list please call High Desert Gallery's Bend Oregon art gallery and chat with Kim our Gallery Manager and she can take your information and ensure we have you signed up for one or more prints. Call Kim at 541-388-8964 or 866-549-6250. Additionally, you may contact us online at: Contact High Desert Gallery.

About Kathy Deggendorfer: Kathy Deggendorfer lives on a cattle and hay ranch just outside of Sisters, Oregon. Inspired by the color, pattern and texture of her surroundings, she creates vibrant and colorful watercolor paintings. Whimsical images of flowers and ranch life fill the paintings with color and life. "Folks tell me they just feel happy when they look at my work-- that makes me happy." Raised in Portland, Oregon, in a clothing manufacturing family, she says ,"Sewing skills skipped a generation with me... but I love fabric. I like to call my creations 'Painters Quilts.' I can prowl around the rounders full of prints at the Stitchin' Post with the best of 'em... I just put my fabrics in with a paintbrush." Kathy's collaborative work with master quilter, Tonye Belinda Phillips, is another fun combination of painted image and textile interpretation. Kathy is currently working on a project about Oregon Specialty Farming and sustainable farm practices. This project takes her out into the fields of Oregon farms to paint and learn about what makes Oregon agricultural practices and people unique. Trips to the cattle ranches of Eastern Oregon and vineyards of the Willamette Valley provide her with plenty of rich and colorful images. Kathy's work is collected throughout the Pacific Northwest and reaches out to all corners of the United States. Kathy was selected to create the official Oregon 2008 ornament for the White House Christmas Tree. Represented by High Desert Gallery of Central Oregon, she has pieces in the permanent collection at Redmond Airport, 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Poster Artist, she wrote and illustrated a children's book for St. Charles Medical Center, and her work has been translated into clothing and fabric for Columbia Sportswear. In 2005, Kathy was awarded 'Citizen of the Year' in Sisters Oregon for her contributions to the community and the arts. High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is honored to represent Kathy Deggendorfer exclusively in Central Oregon.
