About Danae (Nye) Bennett-Miller: Danae, a featured Oregon Public Broadcasting "Oregon Art Beat" artist, uses the medium of lost-wax casting as she conjures life and motion out of once fluid ripples and flows. Like watching lava give birth to land, her pieces create their own virtual space, and ask us to ponder our world through a different pair of eyes. Some public in scale, some intimate, form and substance give way to emotion, movement and animal consciousness. Danae, a long time Central Oregon Artist has several larger bronzes located in public areas of Central Oregon including “Bueno, Homage to the Buckaroo” a larger-than-life sized bronze horse traversing a rock trail. “Bueno,” stands at the Roundabout at Newport Avenue and 14th Streets in downtown Bend, Oregon. Additionally, “Dancing for Flossie,” a pair of cranes is located at the corner of Minnesota where it intersects with Lava Street in historic downtown Bend, Oregon. Danae is represented in Central Oregon by High Desert Gallery with locations in Bend (Fall 2008), Redmond and Sisters, Oregon.

About Kathy Deggendorfer:  Kathy 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."

Kathy's work is collected throughout the Pacific Northwest. Represented by High Desert Gallery in Bend, Redmond & Sisters, Oregon, she has pieces in the permanent collection at Redmond Airport, 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.
