Art Opening this Friday with Sarah Richards

Join us this Friday for great art, yoga, beverages and snacks for our May Last Friday Art Walk display. Sarah Richards will be presenting her art.  Here is what Sarah says about herself and her art:
Richards_Untitled
I grew up in a more than usually artistic family in a small town in
Rural, Southern Oregon. I am now a senior in the Fine Arts Department
at the University of Oregon. After graduating with my BA in Art, I
plan to attend Graduate School to obtain my MFA in painting.

My childhood deeply influences the work that I create. I was raised
within a large family who accepted and cheered vast imaginations,
creative exploration, and self expression. Because of this, I have
always had a desire to express myself. I feel as though my work does
just that.
The work that I am showing here is a combination of a realistic series
of work and a more abstract – which truly expresses who I am as a
person (reality and whimsy, ordained with a bow). This series of work
is about self expression, embracing femininity, and finding beauty in everything.

Last Friday Art Walk Art by Korene Pearson

Pearson_UntitledThis month we are proud to present Korene Pearson. Korene Pearson is a local artist originally from the Whiteaker area. She is a painter, print maker and installation artist.

She says this about herself:

After several years of volunteering at Hospices, and getting a Master’s degree in Thanatology (a psychology based study of Death, Dying, Grief, and bereavement)
I decided there wasn’t much time in life and no reason to wait to follow my dreams. I am no longer listening to the voice that tells me why I can’t be an artist. I am exploring, playing, and enjoying my creative dream.

I am taking art classes at Lane and LOVING IT! I’ve taken painting, sculpture, silkscreen, and pottery. I’ve had pieces accepted in juried art shows in 2011 and 2013, and had three pieces accepted in the 2012 Denali.

I hope you will come by and check out her awesome work, have some wine and snacks and enjoy engaging with the artist and some of our yoga teachers.
