Stop by anytime before March 26, 2021 to see. In her series titled, Oregon Coast, Kristen has painted various locations with accuracy, prioritizing the essence of a place by eliminating unnecessary details. As a result, and with this painterly approach, landscapes have been generated with fidelity and forms that compromise coastal terrains.

Image Credits: Betty Barss, Lillie’s Refuge, Watercolor Claire O Harkins, Untitled, Alcohol Ink Eric Peterson, Rust Nebula, Acrylic Pam Haunschild, Morning Song, Watermedia This year’s theme is Why We Paint! As the new owner of the gallery, Peter had always been curious in discovering how each artist began their painting journey. So, a few months ago, he decided to begin asking each artist why they paint or what their first inspiration was. After receiving a variety of beautiful and impressive stories, he decided to share them with the community. In fact, the stories can be read alongside each artist’s artwork. Hours: Thursday – Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and by appointment.
