February 2020 Exhibits at Art du JourIn February classical guitarist Rod Petrone will be our musician for Art du Jour Gallery’s Third Friday event on February 21. Please go to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ArtduJourGallery) for further updates. Featured Artist Mary Ann MaceyViewing the sea, land and wildlife inspires Mary Ann Macey to paint more and more scenes of creation and its beauty! As an artist, she followed in her family’s footsteps. Her art career flourished in Southern California, where she taught many classes, won numerous awards, sold paintings and accepted commission work. Mary Ann studied art across the southland at Santa Monica College, Ventura College, and Palomar College with an opportunity of study under some prominent and gifted artists. “When I moved to Oregon my professional art career took a back seat to focus on raising my family.” Macey writes. “Now they are a wonderful encouragement for me to become more involved in my art as they focus on raising their own families. She is currently a member of Art du Jour Gallery, Rogue Valley Art Center, SOSA, and Artists Loft in Coos Bay.
Guest Artists Vivian McAleavey and Tom Glassman
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Vivian McAleavey earned a bachelor’s degree with majors in math and geology. With both backgrounds she was drawn to the exploration of Nature’s underlying principles.”While I have always had a camera in hand, it wasn’t until after my children were grown and gone that I had the time and energy to seriously pursue photography as an art form.” Vivian writes. “My hope is that each viewer of this exhibit will be seduced by at least one of these pathways. That an image will speak to them of their personal journey and help them find their way through their next few steps.”

 Art du Jour Gallery’s December feature wall is a collaboration of winter celebration by participating artist members. Roy Musitelli photo 12-4-19 Art du Jour Gallery, 213 E. Main Street in Medford continues it’s seasonal exhibit with a celebration of our winter season. For Third Friday (December 20th, 5pm-8pm) we are planning a special Christmas event presented by harpist Kathy Yeoman and accompanied by vocalist Lynn Kunstman. Please go to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ArtduJourGallery) for any further updates. Winter Wonderland Exhibit on Display Through ChristmasOur artists let their collective imaginations go free for this combined exhibit by participating AdJ members in offering our own visual representation of “Winter Wonderland”. We wish to take this time to thank our friends of the gallery for their support in 2019, and extend a warm invitation to the entire community to help us celebrate this magical time of the year on Third Friday. Guest Artist Nancy Graham Returns to Help Art du Jour Usher in a New YearNancy Graham has always been passionate about art in all its forms and styles, as evidenced by the variety of subjects she likes to paint and the varied approach to each. She was always encouraged by her mother, who was a well-known artist in California and an art instructor at Dominican College in San Rafael a number of years ago. She paints only with watercolor these days and her current passion is teaching watercolor at Scrappy Craft in Phoenix, where her classes remain full year around. She tells us that the real thrill comes from the delight her students find when the composition comes together and there’s a sudden spurt of confidence. She pushes strong value shifts of light and dark, telling her students over and over, “The deeper the shadows, the stronger the light will be”.  Nancy Graham exhibit at Art du Jour December 2019. Image courtesy of the artist. While teaching that there is more to a successful piece of art than the basic fundamentals of art theory, she likes to experiment with a variety of styles and approaches as evidenced by the selection of pieces that will be showing during December and January. Florals, landscapes, abstracts, still lifes and even a motorcycle engine are the subjects she’s chosen to show. She’s always excited to try something new, and is challenged by the possibilities that watercolor brings to her artwork. However, if one were to ask her what she likes to do best, she’d probably reply that she loves to paint the “close-ups” where she can use her small brushes to bring out the finest details of her subjects. Nancy holds a secondary teaching credential and art degree from UC Davis, and is a member of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists, the Rogue Gallery, a past President of the Josephine County Artists Association and a juried member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon.
