Dee Hendrix

Bee Seen by Dee Hendrix

Dee Hendrix: “As a native Oregonian, I am inspired by the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. My formal education in biology and art, plus years spent in the field of commercial art, is reflected in my paintings. For me, art is an intersection of realistic detail blended with organic and often abstract form. As a multi-media artist, I enjoy spending time in my studio and outside painting with watercolor, soft pastel, alcohol ink or colored pencil. Through experimentation and interpretation, I paint animal and floral portraits, landscapes and abstract works. Each painting is a creative journey combining layers of color mixed with the play of light and shadow. My hope is that others find as much pleasure in viewing my art as I have found in creating it.”

Pickup Full of Peonies by Jean Lea

Jean Lea: “I have been a lifelong resident of Oregon. Presently, I reside on the edge of a wetland reserve that my husband and I own and manage. I pursued higher education at Oregon College of Education (now Western Oregon University), majoring in art. My artistic work is significantly influenced by the diverse environment surrounding me. The proximity to the ocean, wetlands, farmlands, and mountains often serves as the inspiration and foundation for my creations. I primarily utilize acrylic, watercolor, and gouache mediums to produce abstract and semi-abstract interpretations of nature and human subjects. Additionally, I engage in printmaking, creating monotypes, etchings, and relief prints."

Opening Reception: 5 to 8 p.m. May 2
