“In Love with Oregon,” watercolor paintings by Betty Barss
Opening reception First Friday, February 2nd from 5 to 8 PM.
Show runs through February 25th.
“My love of Oregon began about fifty years ago when we first experienced Oregon’s coast and lakes. No matter where we travel in Oregon there are always interesting and beautiful sites that excite me to get out my watercolors and brushes to capture my feelings of inspiration. My favorite areas in Oregon are the Coast, Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon. I also find having four seasons brings new inspiration through out the year. I hope you find Oregon as interesting and beautiful as I do.”

A Retrospective
Pat Moore, (patmoorephotography.com) local Fine Art photographer, is constantly observing his surroundings and conceiving images that convey the essence of a place, or topic and tell a story. He has a plan behind every image, using exposure techniques, careful composition, with special attention to subject matter. Digital darkroom techniques are especially important to express Pat’s vision to create collages and photographic collections, enabling viewers to experience a moment in time, a particular emotion remembered dearly, or perhaps a place they long to be.
He is joined by the acoustic guitarist Coyote, in our new location: 42 East Main Street. For more information, call 541-941-0855, and follow us on Facebook. Artwork displayed throughout March, 2018.

Betty LaDuke: Diversity, original painted panels and giclee prints spanning five decades
Betty LaDuke’s career as an artist has spanned the globe focusing on concerns of the human condition. While often speaking to the trials that humans face, there is also a celebration of spirit present in her work. Never centralized or restricted by borders in understanding what it is to be human, LaDuke has traveled the world with an intensity of commitment to her subject. For Diversity, we have selected both original panels and giclee prints spanning five decades and five continents.
Join us in a reception for Betty LaDuke February 2nd, 5-8 p.m. during the Ashland First Friday Artwalk. Show runs January 24th, 2017- February 28th, 2018.
*Winter hours through February will be Wednesday-Saturday 11-5.
