Katherine Taylor Opens August Show at Tumalo Art Co.
2019-08-02 16:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
“Déjà Vu: Reinterpreting the Oregon Landscape Through an Altered Lens”, new works in oil by Katherine Taylor opens August 2, from 4-8pm during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk at Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill District.
For this show Katherine was inspired to create art commemorating some of the places she hiked and camped during the first year she moved to Central Oregon in 1996. Coming from dry New Mexico desert country, she was blown away by the many beautiful snow-capped mountains, sparkling lakes and emerald pine trees found here. “Recently I came across an old backpack that still had a journal I kept whenever I hiked to a new Oregon landmark. For this show, I decided to read a random entry, then paint an image reflecting the excitement and wonder my words described about the beauty I was witnessing,” she explains.
The altered lens in this case represents the nuance, the nostalgia, the growth and experience that Katherine has amassed since that first year she laid eyes on Central Oregon twenty-three years ago.
Working exclusively in oils, Katherine’s artwork employs the dramatic chiaroscuro lighting and lustrous glazing she learned from her classical art training in the 1990s. Her inexhaustible desire to excel in oils has taken her into the studios of many contemporary masters to study a variety of creative methods; each technique learned has continued to inform her painting style, which some have described as “soulful and luminous.”
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of Bend’s Old Mill District open 7 days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.

Featured Artist in September at Tumalo Art Co.—Bruce Jackson
2019-09-06 16:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | OR
Tumalo Art Co. features new fine art photographs by Bruce Jackson in September focusing on “The Language of Trees”. The show opens during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk September 6, from 4-8pm.
Exquisitely composed, zen-like images of Central Oregon and beyond, are Jackson’s hallmark. His iconic photos titled, “The Summit-Mt. Bachelor” and “Pine Marten-Mt. Bachelor”, reproduced as open edition prints, have become collectors items. A Sierra Club Photography Competition Grand Prize winner, Jackson defines his photographic process as moving meditation.
“With each season, deciduous trees express a multitude of unique personalities, and once again remind me why I love photographing them”, says Jackson. “Vulnerable bare shapes revealed in winter, speak to the strength at their core. As spring arrives, trees offer up shockingly vibrant greens, stating their ability to thrive through adversity. As temperatures rise and leaves settle into deeper shades of green, they seem to be saying;’rest your eyes, the real show is yet to come.’ Fall arrives, and trees shift from summer slumber, to all out riotous expression. Having shed their coats of gold, the cycle begins anew.”
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open seven days a week. www.tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.

OVER THE EDGE for United Way of Deschtes County
2019-09-07 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave, Bend, Bend, OR, 97703, United States
Are you a thrill seeker with a heart for your community?
Face your fears. So our community’s most vulnerable don’t have to.
It’s scary for those who wake up in the morning not knowing where they will sleep that night, if they will eat that day, if they will be assaulted or abused that day.
On Saturday, September 7, 2019, OVER THE EDGE participants will help alleviate some of that daily fear faced by so many… by rappelling off the roof of the Oxford Hotel in downtown Bend.
You’re invited to rappel, volunteer, or sponsor the event!
Edgers – those who rappel – are invited to raise funds to support our community in exchange for the exhilarating experience of rappelling off the tallest building in Central Oregon. The Oxford Hotel stands at 7 stories and 70 feet and will offer quite a thrill to Edgers.
Participants need not be brave or young or non-disabled to go OVER THE EDGE. However, there are a limited number of spots, so interested folks should sign up today, as registration is now open. Once registered, Edgers set up a personal fundraising page, reach their fundraising goal, and secure their spot to rappel off the Oxford Hotel on September 7th.
In addition to the rappel, United Way will be hosting a ground party – closing NW Minnesota Ave and NW Lava Rd to traffic in order to host food vendors, a Sunriver Brewing Company beer garden, activities, DJs, and more.
For those who are not ready to rappel, United Way gives other opportunities to partner with one of Bend’s most reputable and longest-standing nonprofit organizations. The local nonprofit is seeking business sponsors for the event, as well as volunteers.
To sign up or for more information, visit www.deschutesunitedway.org/overtheedge or call 541-389-6507.
