Sharon Johnson "Meandering Stream" oil on canvas
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  

Christine Helton "Japanese Lanterns" watercolorORDINARY 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
Miss Kitty "Ogu: Spirit of War"
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
