Arome and Dry Canyon Arts Association invite you to see the vibrant photography by James Morris and over 20 other artists in downtown Redmond during First Friday Art Walk on October 7 from 4-7pm. James has been a photographer for more than 30 years. But it wasn’t until recently that he found his niche creating fine art with his images, with the help of some photo manipulation software. When he takes a picture, he’ll use Photoshop filters to make it look surreal or whimsical. The look has taken James over a year to perfect and he says his images are now ready for “prime time.” When the photograph is done, he prints it on metal or metallic paper if he’s framing it. People have said James’ work was “Van Gogh-ish” and “It gives me goosebumps.”

Junction Roastery and Dry Canyon Arts Association invite you to see the very colorful fluid art of Debra Higgs and over 20 other artists in downtown Redmond during First Friday, October 7 from 4-7pm. “I started my carer in 1971 as an oil painter and for 51 years I have had the great opportunity to show my work throughout Southern California. As the years went on, I was always learning and improving my love of oil painting, and throughout my career sold several hundred paintings. About five months ago I discovered fluid art and I was hooked. I watched many artists and learned about all the various techniques to improve my skills. Fluid art is challenging and rewarding. This is a never-ending learning experience. When working with fluid art you never really know how your piece will turn out and that’s what makes it so intriguing. I will never give up oil painting as that is my first true love, but now I embrace fluid art as a new form of expression.”
