“Stillness”, new work by Nancy Becker & Susan Luckey Higdon

“Stillness”, art inspired by natures deep hush, opens May 3, from 3-7pm at Tumalo Art Co. during the Old Mill Districts First Friday Gallery Walk. The exhibit combines the glowing transparency of Nancy Becker’s hand-blown glass with Susan Luckey Higdon’s poetic landscape paintings.

With a similar sensibility for color and a shared sense of awe for what is communicated by nature, glass artist Nancy Becker and painter Susan Luckey Higdon enjoy displaying their work together and seeing the energy it creates. Designing the gallery’s exhibit space with both 2D and 3D pieces leads to a stunning synchronicity as the artworks ‘speak’ to each other. Susan’s images come from time spent in the high Cascades painting plein air in the late autumn and Nancy’s fluid use of color and shape in her glass blowing is her response to living and working on her land.

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.
