Kathy Allegri With gratitude, I approach sixty years in the Year of the Rat. From wisdom, I create not to impress, but to celebrate my life's yin and yang. Please journey with me; explore the play of light, shadow, vibrant color in the passionate "abrazo" of tango dancers, energy of skateboarders, lazy plein air summers in vineyards, and fragrant tropical breezes of my island origins.

 Wendy Avner I create one-of-a-kind art dolls. I do not use any molds or patterns. I sculpt the clay and the idea of a doll begins. I add cloth and treasures and the essence of their personality shines through. Sculpting has a very calming effect on me. As my hands work the clay, my imagination over takes me, I feel as if I am singing through the fabric of colors and I dance with my dolls in a harmonious waltz, and when the dance is over there is a sprite standing on my table just waiting to be seen. I sign and number each one. [ e-mail / Web Site ]

Mike Blasdell Cougar Ridge Metalcraft is devoted to creating exceptional and unique metal art. Our wall themes are personally designed; plasma cut from quality steel; meticulously cleaned; artfully arranged in a three dimensional designs and expertly welded. Each piece is then colored with gas and flame, and sealed with a heat applied clear finish. Because of the handcrafting of each element at each step, no two are exactly alike. Come See Us!

Ginkgo & Gourds
I began working with gourds about 10 years ago after having a facination with them for years. This was a medium where I got to combine my love for nature, the Ginkgo tree and art, all in a fat bottomed gourd. The shape of the Ginkgo leaf and the roundness of the gourd go so well together. I trace each individual leaf on the gourd, then woodburn, stain and sometimes carve the gourd, making each one unique.

Cheryl Butterfield Watercolor painting has always mesmerized me!! As I paint thin veils of colors, planned and unexpected transparencies reveal new colors and shapes. My journey through this mosaic includes embellishing as I weave my tapestry together into a story. Drawing with ink further enhances shapes to create the 'sparkling' stained glass effect I am looking for. Lately, my stories involve my passion for Italian monuments. Oregon lodges and Oregon flora and fauna also vie for my attention as subject matter.

Deborah Cross My work is in two very different mediums-pine needle baskets and fused glass. One gives the pleasure of creating something beautiful out of something very ordinary. The other starts with already beautiful materials that are fashioned into something useful or that tell a story. I want to always be trying something new and to be expanding my horizons.
