“Spirit Takes Flight”, Danae Bennett-Miller June Exhibit

“Spirit Takes Flight”, an exhibit of sculpture and original monoprints by Danae Bennett-Miller opens June 6, from 3-7pm, during the First Friday Gallery Walk in the Old Mill District.

Danae’s sculptures and original monoprints use organic shapes and rich but subtle colors to capture the essence of the animals that surround her during her daily life on the ranch. These sculptures of birds, deer, and elk dance with life. Her One-of-a-kind bronze sculptures are part of the cultural landscape in Bend through public placements.

Each sculpture is made from multiple pieces of flowed wax that when cast in bronze or glass have an organic quality that seems to interpret the animals energy. Danae creates 2D mixed media works that combine torn monoprint collages placed onto cradled board with several layers of poured resin, building up the surface with more texture, lines between each layer of resin.

Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District and open seven days a week. tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
