After a cold winter, here in Sunriver, we rejoice in the beauty and warmth of Spring. Bring on the flowers and colorful birds and a world of green.

To celebrate the season, Photographer Carolyn Waissman has chosen beautiful Sunriver birds as her subject. Their arrival begins with a flurry as they fill the air singing a Spring symphony.

Their arrival creates a wonderful opportunity for local wildlife photographer Waissman. Possibilities abound to observe and photograph these yearly migrations right in her own backyard. These Sunriver visitors vary from the smallest hummingbirds and song birds to the majestic bald eagles.

Carolyn’s love of photography continues to expand with this ever-changing field. It allows her to expressher love of nature and art through her photography.

Susan Harkness Williams’ art is unabashedly eclectic. May 2017 collectors will find her popular bird series with Waissman’s photography as her source of inspiration. Each bird vessel will be original art utilizing India ink, pyrography and vivid stains and dyes on unique gourds.

Next, Susan promises contemporary hanging gourd vessels. Each is an original and only a few are produced each year due to the time involved in creating them. They have found their place in the homes of collectors who want a statement piece for mantel, fireplace, niches and other places of impact and honor. Susan employs a love of exploration, highly skilled fine craftsmanship and modern art.

Meet Susan and Carolyn at our monthly 2nd Saturday Celebration, Saturday, May 13, 4-6pm. Just in time for Mother’s Day!
