Bio: Sidney-Angelique Green has shown her work at the Freed Gallery in Lincoln City, and in Oregon, California and Mexico.

Bio: I am an oil/mixed-media non-objective artist painting intuitively to reveal layers and textures, and to provoke an emotional response.

Bio: As a passionate observer of nature, Mike Grindstaff has developed a unique imaging methodology to create his current photo micrograph collection.

Note: Subject matter found on beach, with reclaimed lumber for frame.

Bio: A life-long love of surfing and an equally strong infatuation for mosaics has compelled me to bring the two together.

Bio: In 2012, Christine Harrison was a mid-career artist featured in the Coastal Oregon Visual Artist Showcase at the Newport Visual Arts Center, representing Tillamook County.

Bio: Pam Haunschild explores nature through her art.  She has been selected as an artist-in-residence at three National Parks and continues to be inspired by her time there.

Note: This painting was inspired by the rocky-fissured coastline of Oregon.

Bio: Eileen Hearne likes to paint coastal themes, especially commercial fishing.  She owns a second-generation fishing business and is involved in taking NOAA scientists on charters from Canada to Mexico during the summer months.

Bio: Louise Hemphill is a gourd artist who had her first public exhibit at the Newport Visual Arts Center.

Note: “Gourds are a source of artistic fulfillment as they evolve in my hands from plain to something useful, beautiful, or whimsical. My design is cut onto a cleaned gourd, stained, sealed and mounted.”
