About Judy Hoiness: A collection of watercolor and acrylic paintings on canvas of scenic and historical areas in Central and Eastern Oregon by fourth generation Oregonian and Bend resident for forty years. Judy paints from memory in the studio recalling her impressions and emotions that she had while she was exploring the land. This allows her freedom to select unusual hues, invent shapes and textures yet capturing the essence of the place. Such Oregon areas as Hoogie Doogie Mountain, Shoofly Creek, Kinzua and Rome, are just a few unusual places painted for this show.

About Thomas Hughes: His series of mechanical theaters is a recent extension of his longtime career as a furniture maker. He has now ventured into a more expressive medium, the sculptures allow him to explore his interests which include: birds, engineering, kinetic movement, wood carving, folk art, roadside attractions, and circuses just to name a few.
