Julee Hutchison’s love of nature and animals led to plein air landscape painting and a move to scenic Telluride, Colorado.

Oxford Hotel
10 NW Minnesota Ave.
541-382-8436
The luminous pastel landscape paintings by Jan Dow will be presented by the Oxford Hotel during the month of January. Many of these landscapes are the result of Jan’s fascination with water reflections, seen from a kayak or canoe on lakes and slow moving rivers. Others are driven by the compelling shapes of unusual or dramatic landforms.
Changes in light over landscapes, whether driven by weather, season, or time of day transforms the mood of everything we see. A glorious, still day may feel serene and timeless one day, and moody and threatening another day. The intense quality of soft pastel colors allows Jan to capture these changes in vibrant paintings.
Jan is a member of the High Desert Art League, and has made her home in Bend since 1991.

Kira has developed a body of work that speaks to the relationship between the hidden worlds of the subconscious and the tangible reality that we all share. In this series, she concentrates on striking a balance between precisely rendered and intricately detailed feathers, and uncluttered backgrounds. Her work will be on display at The Stacks Gallery and Studios in the Old Mill above Sisters Coffee. You can also find her work online at kirafrances.com.
Lindsay Gilmore creates abstract landscape paintings inspired by the colors and compositions that have captivated her while on adventures outdoors with her family.
Alyson Brown (Wild Folklore) is a photographer and stylist specializing in beverage and botanicals. While she focuses most of her time on brand development and content creation, Alyson is also The Stacks in-house mixologist for First Fridays.
Jennifer McCaffrey says, “As a former dancer, capturing movement is the overarching theme in my work. I love painting in a variety of styles ranging from abstract to impressionistic, and my aim in any piece is to create something that feels alive. I first studied art at Wake Forest University in 2009, and went on to work in healthcare while painting in every spare moment I could find. It is a dream realized to be a part of this community of creators. Apart from painting, I work PRN as a surgical physician assistant, am a mother of three, runner, woodworker, music lover, and trail mix high-grader. Like most Bendites, I am usually out somewhere with poor cell reception taking in the beauty of Central Oregon when not in the studio.”
