Untamed Bloom in August with Sarah B. Hansen
2025-08-01 15:00 - 19:00 | Tumalo Art Co., 450 SW Powerhouse Dr. #407, Bend, 97702
Sarah B. Hansen opens her August exhibit, “Untamed Bloom”, at Tumalo Art Co. on August 1, from 3-7 pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk.
“Untamed Bloom” is a series that celebrates the wild, resilient energy of nature and the human spirit. Inspired by wildflowers that thrive in unexpected places, these paintings explore emotional depth through color, movement, and the use of negative space. Each piece reflects a different state of being—vibrant, unraveled, quiet, or bold. This series is a tribute to resilience, to beauty that refuses to be contained, and to the emotional wilderness we all carry within. The mixed media paintings in this exhibit are large format, creating a strong presence.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open 7 days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
