About Paul Alan Bennett: Award winning professional
artist, educator, and art advocate, Paul Alan Bennett has garnered
national attention. Paul's imagery is passionately detailed and
manifests a unique perspective and style resulting in colorful, vivid
imagery sought after and collected nationally. Honors graduate of
Maryland Institute of Art and Master of Arts from The University of
La Verne (Athens Greece), Paul has excelled in the field of
watercolor and most recently in the release of a select group of
Limited Edition Fine Art Giclee Prints and worked closely with
Pendleton Woolen Mills to release limited edition tapestry blankets.
Paul's work has been reproduced for two Sisters Folk Festival Posters
and the 2008 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show poster. His style and
perspective originate from memories, life experiences and travels
that sparks many of the themes found in this Sisters artist's work.
Paul Alan Bennett's artwork is represented by High Desert Gallery &
Custom Framing of Central Oregon.
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.
About Glen Corbett: Glen, an award winning painter,
tapestry weaver and print maker makes Central Oregon her home. She
has participated in numerous one woman and group shows in the
Northwest and beyond including the Oregon Capital, Maude Kerns Art
enter, Honolulu Academy of Art, Ithaca Museum and several Fine Art
Galleries on the West Coast. Glen's work is found in private and
corporate collections worldwide including AJ Heinz, State of Hawaii,
Walsh, Walsh, & Foster, Washington Mutual Savings Bank, Black
Butte Ranch, Brooks Resources, Fred Meyer Inc. and many more. "Art
captures a very present moment, sometimes evocative of the past or
predictive of the future – but at best taps a timeless core/chord."
High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is honored
to represent Glen Corbett exclusively in Central Oregon.
About the Miss Dotty & Yello Collaboration: Each
Fine Art Giclee print is signed and numbered by Kathy Deggendorfer
and a wonderful reproduction of the original watercolor. Each quilted
work by Tonye is signed and the two works of art are professionally
framed by High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon.
The Miss Dotty Series has five works in sets with each set limited to
25 prints/quilts. After the Series sells out there will be no more
sets produced of the same images. Not only is the collaboration a
wonderful addition to any home or office but it is also limited and
potentially collectible. The Miss Dotty Series is available
exclusively in Central Oregon from High Desert Gallery of Central
