Minimalist Landscapes
Less really is more. Experienced artists know when to stop and put down the
brush. Combined with a skillful mastery subtle color, simplification
of form, and sophisticated composition, artists are able to create deceptively
"simple" masterpieces.

EN PLEIN AIR
Katy Rizzuti
Plein air is a French term that means "in the open air." It is commonly
used to describe the act of painting outdoors (rather than
in the studio). Plein air landscapes are infused with the softness, brilliance,
and ever changing qualities of natural light, and tend to evoke a feeling
of openness. These paintings capture a moment in time ... the same scene
painted on a different day or at a different time would yield different
qualities of light and color.

REFLECTIONS
Richard Fung
photography
"For me, photography incorporates the practice of mindfulness. Only by
being present and using the techniques of mindfulness can I truly see my
subject, let alone create art in the process of capturing it. When
I practice mindful photography, my subject matter – a natural setting,
an urban street scene, a close-up of a flower – gets transformed
into a mirror for my thoughts and feelings. My photographs are the
result of these reflections." ~ Richard Fung
ORDINARY SPOTLIGHT
Christine Helton
watercolor & pastels
In her show “Ordinary Spotlight,” Christine Helton transforms
the mundane in her collection of original pastels, acrylics and watercolors.
“I
paint various subjects and color schemes that touch a cord within me. The
pictures I create are the ordinary ‘day-by-day’ conditions
brought into the spotlight. My work is not about bells and whistles,
just the glory of the here and now." ~ Christine Helton
JULY 2 - 31, 2005
SACRED IMAGES
Miss Kitty
The dolls, serpent figures and other religious fine art created
by Miss Kitty feature both sculpture and functional representations of
the loa (saints) of Vodoun, a 10,000 year old religion based in Western
Africa. Unlike the popularized (and highly inaccurate) “stick-pin voodoo” available
in tourist shops, Miss Kitty’s pieces are authentic icons of specific
spirits, hand-crafted and meticulously detailed with quality materials;
no two pieces are the same. Each will capture the essential nature of the
deity.

THE NEW CABARET
Lloyd Kimeldorf
photography
"Portland has always had a very gifted art, music
and theater scene. Several years ago I was invited to photograph a performance
at a Portland Night Club. I became interested in these artists. The new
cabaret is a collection of these stars captured on stage. It is their vision
and imagination that intrigues me and compels me to document their creativity.
I welcome the challenge to explore ways to photograph these performances
in dark smokey atmospheres." ~ Lloyd Kimeldorf
