New Exhibit at the Rogue Gallery
 Over Under Sideways, by Carl Vince  Grandfather’s House, by Susan Lehman
Abstract Perceptions: Paintings by Vince Carl and Susan Lehman
Exhibit date: August 11 – September 22, 2017, Reception Date: August 18 from 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Rogue River artist Vince Carl and Bandon artist Susan Lehman are lifelong artists. Carl earned a BFA from Miami University and continued studying with Mitch Kaufman-Katz and Pat Enos. Lehman studied fine art and textiles at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and graduated with Distinction. Their abstract paintings are evocative of varied experiences and places with richly textured surfaces created with techniques honed over a lifetime.
Vince Carl uses color, line, and texture to express his experiences, feelings, and memories in his large abstract painting. He paints by applying thin layer of acrylic paint that he sands and scratches into and then applies another layer of paint. He does this multiple times to develop layers that are rich in color and texture.
As an abstract artist, Susan Lehman appreciates the “impression of the light, the nuances of the mood, or the expression of the experience of the place rather than the recreation of the image of that place.” Her work includes handmade paper, layers of acrylic paint, acrylic molding paste, lace, and silk fabric. She works intuitively allowing the work to emerge through her process.
An exhibit reception will be held on Friday, August 18, 5:00 – 8:00 pm. Wine and food provided by Harry and David will be served.
The Rogue Gallery & Art Center is a non-profit community art center, founded in 1960 to promote and support the arts in the Rogue Valley. The center exhibits a wide range of artistic styles and mediums from local and national artists. Programming includes art educational opportunities for children and adults. Hours of operation are Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call (541)772-8118 for more info or visit www.roguegallery.org.

The Rogue Gallery & Art Center will have a reception for two exhibits for Downtown Medford’s Third Friday Artwalk
 Assemblage by Leona Keene Sewitsky Main Gallery exhibit
Scenes from the Unconscious: Micah Ofstedahl & Leona Sewitsky
June 23 – August 4, 2017, Reception: Friday, July 21, 5-8pm
Ashland artist Micah Ofstedahl combines the conscious observations of science with the subconscious imagination of the mind in his surrealistic acrylic paintings. Jacksonville artist Leona Keene Sewitsky explores the unconscious mind in playful, dreamlike, and mysterious sculptures created from recycled objects and papier maché.
Micah Ofstedahl was born and raised in Austin, Minnesota and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture and ceramics from Minnesota State University. Micah describes his work as an exploration of the unknown and the importance of its relationship to scientific and human advancement. Micah states, “I am constantly being amazed by the hidden beauty and complexity of the world and this is largely what I hope to convey to my audience.”
Leona Keene Sewitsky resides in Jacksonville and has been creating artwork out of recycled objects and paper mache for eleven years. She enjoys the challenge of assembling mismatched items, sculpting and painting paperclay heads, and creating a carnival of characters. Exploring the unconscious dream state of the mind in sculptures and assemblages, Leona creates original artwork that is humorous, familiar, and sometimes other worldly.
 “Through All Things,” Micah Ofstedahl
Sponsored by Rogue Gallery & Art Center Board of Directors
 “Leona and Friends,” Graphite drawing by Walt Wirfs

Upcoming Workshops with Silvia Trujillo
I’ve been at the drawing board (literally) working on three large commissions for the new Oregon Retina Center in Medford, getting work ready for my solo exhibit at The Berryman Gallery (located in the Craterian Theater), acted as juror for a member show, finished up the teen mentor project, and recently taught a ‘Clouds & Skies’ workshop. Besides all this I’ve managed to get a bit of plein air work in and attend some open model sessions. Whew, it’s been a busy Spring, but I’m grateful for all of the opportunities! And of course I’m still showing new work at the Art & Soul Gallery in Ashland.
If you’d like to keep up with my latest works and offerings, please visit my blog (link at bottom) and subscribe …
Upcoming workshops:
 Plein Aire
Saturday and Sunday, July 8-9, 8:30am-12pm
All painting media and skill levels welcome
Location TBA
The tradition of Plein Aire (open air) painting began with the impressionists. In this class you will develop a deeper understanding of how to create a successful landscape painting. You will learn principles of composition, light/shadows, atmospheric perspective, and color temperature while working on location. Working directly from nature will help you gain a new understanding and confidence in your landscape painting.
 Fix and Finish
Saturday and Sunday, August 19-20,10am-2pm
All painting media and skill levels welcome
“Fix and/or Finish” a painting by figuring out what will benefit those pieces that are not quite working, or start a new project! The instructor will help with composition, color, and techniques to guide viewers’ eyes through your painting. Silvia has a wide range of experience with different styles and media, and will help you in mastering yours.
Hope you can make it to one or both of these!
