 Marilyn Terry - Del Hearn
Bronze Sculpture - Illustration
We are excited to begin the summer season with two of our area's most esteemed artists. Del Hearn is well known for his meticulous detail on the public art projects: "Doors of Oregon", "Bears on Motorcycles" and "Christmas
on Mars". He captures an essence of the area with the honor to have his art on several phone book covers. Del is exhibiting "Local Color", a display of
paintings depicting scenes from our area. Del will be at the gallery First Friday
from six to eight thirty.
Marilyn Terry's love of animals is obvious when you
observe her bronze work. With a life time of observation she nails down the
essence of wolves, horses and dogs. For seventeen eventful years Marilyn lived
with Kiva the wolf who is the subject of many of her sculptures. Along with her
bronze she is showing her pyrography (burning on wood) and will have a few of
her wax forms on display. Marilyn will be at the gallery First Friday from six to
eight thirty.

Nancy Graham
Recent Watercolor Paintings
Nancy Graham is a 1970 graduate of the University of California, Davis
Campus, with a teaching credential in design and English. Unfortunately, her
teaching career was brief due to moving about for her husband's career, and
soon thereafter she was busy raising twin boys. Her desire for painting in oils
and acrylics, which was also encouraged by her artist mother, had to take a
backseat in those early years, and it wasn't until 3 years ago that the interest
was rekindled, but this time watercolor became her passion.
Today Nancy takes
classes with two instructors here in Grants Pass and signs up for every workshop
that scheduling will permit. She claims that there isn't enough time in the day
to get everything done and still have time to paint as much as she would like,
but she tries to do a little each day. Recently, she was elected President of the
Josephine County Artists Association and is enthusiastic about being part of
the "incredibly talented art community" in this area.
A selection of her recent
watercolors will be on display at King Jewelers for First Friday Art Night on June
1st, and will remain through the month.
