“Rising Air – Plein Air to Studio” Sarah B. Hansen in April

Tumalo Art Co. presents Sarah B. Hansen’s, “Rising Air—Plein Air to Studio”, opening April 5, from 3-7pm during the Old Mill District’s First Friday Gallery Walk. The exhibit encompasses a collection of plein air paintings created in some of Sarah’s favorite locations in Central Oregon, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest, alongside large studio works inspired by of the plein air pieces.
When immersed in nature, painting what is before her, Sarah says she absorbs the joy and peaceful energy. “Surrounded by the sounds of birds, wind, animals, insects…my shoulders relax and my mind goes blank. Hours can pass of sheer bliss. The abundance of life works its way into my paintings, becoming a statement on place; a relief from modern life.” See Sarah’s process through art painted in real time onsite, and the large pieces painted in studio.
