“The Wanderer” Oil Paintings by Diana Wright
Grab your keys and go….from a San Francisco luncheon to sun-drenched Cayucos and then to a cool, mist filled day in Bandon, Oregon, I have marveled at the endless beauty of the world. The landscape renews us, brings us joy and hope in a time filled with anxious thoughts and feelings. Yes, we are sorrowful at the shrinking of the natural world. We stagger at the perils of over civilization, pollution, global warming, the shrinking of animal habitats, the acidification of the oceans, (to name a few), as they loom over our lives in an endless stream of fear. However, the joy of creating seems to transcend my fear. As I paint, I am in prayerful reverence for nature and I hope to communicate love, joy, and transcendent hope.

Ticor Title Insurance proudly introduces their expansive business quarters during their debut as a First Friday Artwalk destination in Ashland, OR. Adorned with Sandi Whetzel’s vibrant, contemporary, flora art through the end of April, the business seeks to become a popular art venue.
The first Friday of each month, the public is invited to stroll the historical downtown railroad districts, exploring the visual and tasty treats at many participating art venues from 5-8 p.m. Ticor, located at 180 Lithia Way, near the corner of Lithia Way and First Street, is near the center of some of the popular art stops. Ticor will serve wine and chocolates to art observers this Friday and April 4th.

Ticor management requested Sandi Whetzel’s art via Ashland Art Center’s ART2Business program because they felt her uniquely textured, graceful floras complemented their contemporary, wide-open space. Sandi is pleased to have her art hanging on the walls of such a spacious, contemporary building. There is plenty of elbow room to comfortably browse the exhibit space at your leisure while sipping wine.
Sandi Whetzel says, “I think people are looking for a simple elegance in an artwork that separates it from the ordinary. That is my goal in blending fantasy with reality. I aim to grab the viewer’s attention: Wow! I’ve never seen anything like that!”
Besides her graceful, sensual floras, Sandi is becoming known for her paintings celebrating the wine experience. Her wine narratives tickle viewers senses in ways they have not seen in typical wine-themed art. She renders surprising, surreal wine scenarios: Sensual. Seductive. Tantalizing. Romantic. Playful. It’s almost as if she produces advertisements for the wine industry. See more of Sandi Whetzel’s art here .
