They are my reason for getting up in the morning and doing whatever I have to do to continue having them in my life. These spirit-filled creatures are truly one of the most blessed, simple and beautiful yet mysterious animals on the planet. That is why I think those of us with an artistic heart are drawn to them.” Her artwork, whether painted with acrylics, watercolor or drawn with chalk pastels, graphite or colored pencil reflects their magic through her eyes and experiences with them.

Redmond Senior Center and Dry Canyon Arts Association invite you to see the very creative, unique art by Christine Ransom, along with 20+ artists at seven venues, in Redmond during First Friday, November 4 from 4-7pm. When Christine painted, it wasn’t to make something pretty it was to make something look dark and dirty and old. She fell in love with this artistic expression and quickly moved on to other types of sculptures, all in this steampunk-esque style.
“Once I let go of the notion that I needed to produce “beautiful” art and it was then that I found creative freedom. Out of clay, paint, and scavenged items paired with the slight tendency to hoard, I create little “monsters” out of the items I can’t throw away.
Inspired by nature, my work is often focused on a central character with undertones reflecting my interpretations of larger global issues such as climate change, exploitation, and wastefulness. Many of my current pieces are distorted examples of marine life. All with their own story.
It’s still junk art. Ugly art. Art that I am ridiculously proud of. It was a journey, but I found a lesson in rediscovering what art meant to me. Art doesn’t have to be pretty to be valued or appreciated. There didn’t need to be an intention, direction, or concept. Just let it pour out and if the heart is in there it will be beautiful.”

SCP Redmond Hotel and Dry Canyon Arts Association invite you to see the amazing photography and fiber art of Gilda Hunt, along with 20+ artists at seven venues, in Redmond during First Friday, November 4 from 4-7pm. Gilda was born in the tiny country of El Salvador, Central America where she was introduced to the arts. She and her family immigrated to San Francisco when she was a young girl. Throughout this time, she discovered photography, which is a passion she has maintained to this day.
It wasn’t until Gilda moved to Portland that she was introduced to her second passion in the arts; the art of quilting. A good friend invited her to the Sister’s Quilt Show and it was love at first sight. Since then she has been learning and expanding her skills in quilting. For the last five years she has been using her photography to create patterns for her very special quilts. Although she creates many traditional quilts, her main interests now are more artistic landscapes and portrait quilts, either pets or people.
