September Exhibit at Tumalo Art Co—Adell Shetterly "Throughline"
2025-09-05 15:00 - 19:00 | Tumalo Art Co., 450 SW Powerhouse Dr. #407, Bend, 97702
Printmaker Adell Shetterly opens “Throughline”, September 5, with a reception from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District First Friday Gallery Walk.
Throughline speaks not only to what connects these works, but also what connects Adell to the practice of printmaking itself. It’s about trust in process, in repetition, in growth and progression; a celebration of the tactile language of printmaking. “There’s no single narrative here, but perhaps, in the rhythm, the spaces or the edges where the shapes meet you’ll discover a thread in the spaces between that resonates quietly or feel unexpectedly familiar echoing your own story.”
Adell works in a range of printmaking techniques, including monotype, monoprint, collagraph, and linocut, at times integrating mixed media. For her, the heart of her work lies not only in the finished piece but in the journey of discovering it—a pursuit of creativity, curiosity, and connection.
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.
