Leslie LeViner's paintings are inspired by her love of the outdoors, which she creates in the French impressionism “plein air” style that literally translates into “open air.” And in the open air is where she spends her time painting ranch animals and rural scenery as well as the magnificent northeastern Oregon mountains. |

Monica Stobie’s pastel work is done on handmade bark paper which comes from Mexico. This paper is made from indigenous tree bark and processed by an ancient method. The bark is peeled, boiled in lime water and “when the moon is new” pounded into sheets of paper. This process is believed to be the oldest paper-making process in the western hemisphere. The result is a primitive “canvas” for a tribute to the oldest art known to mankind. |
