"My Favorite Things" Annual All Member Show Dec. 3, 2012 - Feb. 1, 2013
 |
Willis a la Magritte,
Grace Henson
|
Our "My Favorite Things" show continues through the end of February. Sequoia artists share
some of their favorite "things" with you along one wall in the gallery. One of Grace Henson's favorite things is her canine companion, Willis. Grace has painted Willis many times, but came up with a unique artistic interpretation of Willis' personality for this exhibition. Both Willis and the works of surrealist painter Rene Magritte make Grace laugh, therefore she choose to paint Willis in a manner befitting a Magritte fan.
Please note: There will be no First Tuesday opening reception at Sequoia in January due to Tuesday, January 1 being a holiday. The gallery will be closed on New Year's Day.

Meet New Sequoia Artist Tom Boring
 Metal sculptor, Tom Boring recently joined Sequoia Gallery + Studios.Tom graduated from David Douglas High School and the University of Oregon. After completing graduate work at Cal State East Bay, Tom became an Assistant Professor of Chemistry there.Tom's interest in metal sculpture developed after he retired from a 35 year career in the Forest Products Industry, which culminated in Tom serving as CEO to Forest Industry-related companies.
Tom's unique skill in producing realistic-looking metal sculpture of wild life began when he started "tinkering around" with metal. His art goal is to trick the casual observer into seeing a "crab on the wall", until they get closer and begin to see the individual pieces of metal "junk" that combine to create his creatures. He says people who call him a welder are missing the point; he is "an artist who welds and there is a big difference between the two!"
His 18 years of experience in metal sculpture have increased his expertise to the extent that he participates in art fairs throughout the Northwest. His coastal themed works are especially popular. But he looks forward to less travel to the labor intensive art fairs now that he will be showing locally at the Sequoia Gallery + Studios. He describes his invitation to join Sequoia as "life changing". Sequoia is likewise lucky to have Tom join the gallery. |
