High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is pleased to announce a new slate of unique artists for the Redmond Oregon Art Gallery.
"We've worked hard to establish a great mix of artistic approaches that compliment our Central Oregon lifestyle," said Myrna Dow, High Desert Gallery owner. "It's important to showcase artistic viewpoints that take the ordinary a bit farther, while remaining representational. The new artists in our Redmond Gallery do this while maintaining continuity with our Sisters and Bend Gallery artists."
We invite you to visit our Redmond Gallery to view over 60 new original paintings, monoprints, collage and fiber art representing our exciting new Gallery Roster of Artists, including Kay Baker, Sue Gomen Honnell, Rosalyn Kliot, Patty Freeman-
Martin, Vivian Olsen, and Sue Favinger Smith. Work includes plein air painting and wildlife art, landscape in both watercolor and oil, as well as contemporary landscape and still life, mixed media fiber, western art, and collage. Future plans include the addition of more Redmond Oregon area artists including work of 3-dimensional artists and guest artists from the Sisters and Bend Galleries.
Current Featured Artist: Sue Favinger Smith, "Perception and Imagination," featuring a new selection of oil paintings inspired by the landscape. With "Perception and Imagination", I am prying open that window between what I perceive visually and what I can imagine. The landscape has always been the inspirational foundation, but my work is not about topography - as beautiful as it is. It's about being "alone" and not "lonely", about venturing into the unknown and what I might find there. It's about courage and accepting the invitation to explore. Sue Favinger Smith, Redmond, Oregon 2009
In coming weeks, we'll be highlighting each artist in the blog, but don't wait to see the exciting new art we have to offer. There's no better time.
Where: 453 SW 6th Street at Evergreen, Redmond Oregon
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00AM - 5:00PM
