Twigs Gallery Opening – July 28 featuring the works of artist Judy Hoiness
For the last fifty years, Judy has painted either on paper or canvas.  Now that she is combining vintage and recycled textiles with drawing and painting on paper or canvas, the results have been exciting and enjoyable to her. Recycled textiles provide seams, raw edges, wrinkles and buttonholes that enhance her art in a way drawing and painting alone cannot.
There are three ongoing series in the show. Judy explains, “The Abstract Landscapes Series is inspired by the beauty of Oregon my native State. The Mt. Bachelor, Keeper of Secrets Series represents many events that Mt.Bachelor might have witnessed over the millenniums. Save A Spot for Wildlife series is a reminder that we are the caretakers of the earth. Wildlife and wild places must be preserved.”
