The theme for March is “Art Takes Nature as its Model”. When you browse the gallery, this theme is so apparent – just about every medium featured in the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver has original art inspired by nature. If you haven’t visited in a while, please do, as we have new art and new artists whose work mirrors the beauty of Central Oregon–and beyond!
Set the date! Our next Second Saturday Artist Reception is scheduled for Saturday March 14th. Our Après Ski Party with the gallery artists will delight with new art, appetizers, beer, wine, and hot drinks to warm you up from the day on Mt. Bachelor!
Our newest jewelry artist, Amy Pfeiffer, will be on hand to demonstrate her work with natural minerals, gems, and her nature-inspired jewelry creations. Fascinated by the earth’s geology and its treasures, Amy is an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast. She uses her explorations to collect rocks and minerals as she explores the Western US and Canada. With a B.S. degree in geology, Amy’s fascination with rocks and minerals has paid off as she turns them into the gems she uses in her jewelry creations. In 2012, Amy learned lapidary and metal working–all self-taught. She hand forges the metal and uses recycled metals whenever possible.
Featured fine artist Bonnie Junell is one of the original members of Artists’ Gallery, a member since 2010. She also offers the highly-popular monthly Sip and Paint classes at the gallery. Bonnie paints what makes her happy, one of her favorite subjects being wildflowers within landscape settings. Much of Bonnie’s work is achieved through large brushes and knife work with layers and layers of paint building up depth and texture. To celebrate Winter and skiing, she has created a series of art work inspired by her ski adventures at Mount Bachelor. The series of 8”x8” canvases are a fun and affordable way to own an original piece of fine art!
We invite you to our Second Saturday reception and to stop by the gallery anytime. We are open seven days a week. Sundays -Thursdays from 10-5 and Fridays and Saturdays from 10-6. Stop by and say “hi”.
