Artist at Alleda Real Estate, 25 NW Minnesota Ave., Ste 1
Dorothy Holmes thru December. Dorothy has been interested in art since attending classes at Cambridge University in 1980. Her love of art and all things old and crusty came together nicely in England – drawing century old buildings and castles; while maybe not very good…she was hooked. Focusing for over ten years in the Reno-Tahoe area on making peoples walls and ceilings look very old through a unique layering process of decorative painting techniques, Dorothy has now taken that love of layering paint and plaster down off the scaffolding to where it’s safer on to canvasses.
Her current fascination is with the interplay of old and new, sleek and hard, rusty and shiny. Dorothy moved to Bend from Nevada in 2014. Her decorative painting work has been featured on ModelloDesigns.com and RoyalDesignsStudio.com and represented at Ryries Art and Home (Art Gallery) in Reno, Nevada. TallGirlStudio.weebly.com

Celebrates First Friday with black and white film photography by Paula Bullwinkel, instructor of film photography and photography students at Central Oregon Community College.
Entitled Visual Culture: Black and White Film Photography by COCC Instructors and Students, the exhibition presents new silver gelatin photographs. Advanced photography students at COCC shot film, developed it, and printed images by hand in the darkroom working with instruction from Paula Bullwinkel and her assistant, Tim Wulf.
The exhibition presents engaging and challenging art emphasizing the exploration of personal vision by students using traditional, hands-on, photographic techniques. Young, contemporary artists share a unique interpretation of their experience in the world today.
In addition to exhibiting exceptional art by students, the show seeks to educate viewers that film photography remains a viable methodology, flourishing among artists. COCC is a regional leader in advancing the fine art of film photography and young photographers. The college offers beginning and advanced black and white photography courses taught by Bullwinkel.
Prior to COCC, Bullwinkel was hired by Andy Warhol and photographed Kevin Bacon, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Kate Moss. For 18 years in NYC and London, major magazines such as Vogue, Interview, GQ, British Elle and Details commissioned her work. She photographed musical artists including Lenny Kravitz, Capt. Beefheart and Suzanne Vega. Currently, she is a photographer and a painter based in Bend. For additional information see http://paulabullwinkel.com and http://bullwinkelphoto.com.

Atelier 6000
389 SW Scalehouse Ct., Ste. 120, 541-330-8759, www.atelier6000.com
Opening reception for Sculpture into Print on First Friday. This invitational exhibit features the work of six local sculptors as they bridge into varied forms of printmaking.
Several of the exhibiting artists will discuss their experience translating sculpture to print at a free Art Talk on Friday, November 13 at 6pm.
A6 invited six Central Oregon sculptors—Sandy Anderson, DanaeBennet Miller, Bill Cravis, Steve Franzen, Dallas Fredericks, Lillian Pitt, and Abney Wallace—to create prints informed by their recent sculpture. Master printmaker Patricia Clark provided technical assistance to Anderson, Franzen and Pitt, and A6 Artist Member Julie Winter assisted Fredericks.
According to A6 founder Patricia Clark, “This exhibit illustrates how easily artists of different mediums can bridge into printmaking,” said Clark. “Printmaking is incredibly broad and offers exciting ways for artists to expand upon and enrich their work.” Many of the exhibit’s sculptors were relatively new to printmaking. A6 introduced these artists to print mediums that offered a similar aesthetic or creative process to their three-dimensional work.
“In preparing for this exhibit, we connected with the grand tradition of the atelier,” explained A6’s Executive Director Dawn Boone. “A6 is a place where artists of all backgrounds can come and learn new skills from master printmakers.”

Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436
Sandy Brooke’s oil paintings thru November 27. Brooke retired in summer 2015 as an Associate Professor at OSU Cascades with 24 years combined teaching experience on the Corvallis and Bend campus. She created her current series, Environmental Chaos, Fire and Water, following retirement.
The artist notes that paintings from the series are transformations of media images of fires that polluted and destroyed picturesque rivers from Canada to Arkansas during the past summer. The derailment and explosion of oil tankers transported by railway caused the fires and, due to the oil contents, were impossible to extinguish.
The artist notes that these paintings evolved from her disturbing memories of media visuals of the disasters. Each painting holds a stilled moment of such potent memories, each related to the other, collectively remembered as panorama of furious fire.
Brooke quotes Andrew Thurber, a scientist working in the Antarctic, “Artists help people appreciate environments that are out of the reach of the vast majority of the world’s populace.” Art, then, is more than an observable object but an extension of the viewer’s reality. In this instance, it juxtaposes inexorable horror with engaging beauty.

Kim McClain worked in healthcare for most of her career but felt a deeper yearning to explore the idea of Healing Arts. This led her to painting in 2006 where she has been inspired by beauty, color, and mystery. As a visual language, painting allows her to express her emotional response to her inner and outer world. Her work is infused with sensual color and often is contemplative and symbolic.
Will Nash lives and works in Bend and builds acoustic instruments, furniture and sculpted housewares. The varying textures of his work maintain the integrity of the carving tools and is countered by the smooth surfaces that are brought to a polish before he applies his finishes.
Deb Borine creates kiln formed glass that is a dance of heat, gravity, and fusion that makes a luminous piece of art. The play of light through the glass creating depth, texture, and color is what Deb seeks in making her glass art. Bowls, plates, and platters are some of her functional items, and her landscape pieces are to enjoy on display. Deb has become known for her colorful garlic plates that make the perfect gift for you or someone you know.

Featuring Sandra Neary’s Desert Series of acrylic watercolor paintings. The La Pine artist is well known for use of color, shape and value in landscapes, portraits and non-representational works. This show features new works created from the artist’s impressions of the southwest desert using watermedia and collage. The show includes both representational and abstract paintings featuring the colors and shapes inspired by the land and peoples who live there.
Neary is particularly interested in the spiritual aspect of life there as native peoples struggled to survive in a harsh environment. She believes that the artist should bring a sense of self to each painting through the use of color and form so that each painting becomes a piece of the artist. “The process of painting should be a continual learning experience.”

New Works by Paul Alan Bennett will be in the forefront at First Friday Gallery Walk.
Known for his “knit” style using gouache paint, Bennett works in a number of different styles and media. “I have always thought of my paintings as my inventions. As such, it doesn’t matter what style or materials I work with as long as it has that spark of the creative spirit about it. My working process is one of discovery and play, similar to solving a crossword puzzle, but different in that there are many ‘right’ answers.”
Paul’s paintings have won numerous local and national awards, he has been featured on Oregon Art Beat, is a painter of murals and teaches art at COCC, as well as doing innovative art projects with both adults and school children.
