Our Gallery of Artists
These are some of the great artists participating in this years 'Art and Music Festival'.
 Pam Hough
Pam's website:pamhough.com
I paint because it is my way of being. It is not just something I do. It is something I am. It is the way I see, the way I feel, the movement within me.
I usually work in oils, though I also like to play with pencils, colored or graphite. My style is realistic. Sometimes photorealistic, yet with interpretation. I love to tell a story with a painting. I am drawn to the subtleties of texture, and am often discovering new ways to reproduce it with paint. I am fascinated by reflections; my painting is often about reflection. Every puddle I see captures my attention! I love the challenge of rendering water in its endless movements and color. I love the challenge of seeing unexpected color in the everyday things. Most landscapes are local, and I hope a viewer will say, I have seen that place -- but not quite like that! I also paint figures and occasionally still life, but with a twist.
I have been painting for about 10 years. I also work at Corvallis Clinic in Corvallis, Oregon, as a Certified Hand Therapist. So my hands are always busy.
 Darrell Shultz
Darrell's website:DesignSensations.com
Darrel Shults was born in San Jose, California in 1952. His first artistic inspiration came from a high school art instructor who was describing a sculpture he had seen in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. This motivated Darrel to try to evoke that same emotional response in others. The "Summer of Love" found him gravitating to artisans as friends. They introduced Darrel to many varied art styles in which to express his visions. The next few years found him working in various medias including lapidary, jewelry, collage, photography, stained glass and clay. When Darrel returned to college to study accounting he worked as an assistant in the ceramics department to fund his schooling. Upon leaving school he went to work for Del Webb's "SAHARA", a casino in Reno. While in Reno he came down with Menieres Disease. Being unable to work for anyone any more Darrel longs to express himself in his artwork. Gravitating once again to his favorite media, playing in the mud, he now has his own studio in Alsea, Oregon.
Dean and Annie Prosser
 Dean Prosser and his wife Annie live and work in Waldport, where they have created their textile business, Stranded on the Bay. Their projects involve various forms of stranding: hand-woven tapestries and garments, accessories and beadwork. Their location on Alsea Bay and their love of the area’s natural beauty are reflected in their work and themes. Dean attended the Mendocino Arts Center weaving apprenticeship program and received training in many aspects of fiber arts. For years he was involved with animal husbandry in raising and harvesting various types of wool . Now he frequently handspins and dyes his wools, adding special elements to the finished goods. He brings a well-rounded and innovative approach to his weaving.
Annie’s strandings over the years have included wreaths, baskets, suncatchers, and jewelry. Her striking beaded necklaces and bracelets are richly colored and offer unique accessories to the hand-woven garments. The couple fill custom orders and enjoy outdoor fairs.
 Mary Marvin
Mary's website:ghaidhlig.deviantart.com
I was raised in Salem and have lived all my life in Oregon. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I have always enjoyed art, but didn't get serious about it until three years ago when I took some art classes with my daughter through Portland Community College. I like using pastels because I feel I am more in touch with the medium. A brush seems to get
in my way, and I can't use my hand to blend colors like I can with pastels. In addition to art, I take fiddle lessons (Celtic is my favorite, although I have learned some "old-time" pieces as well).
 Cheka Simonton
I make what I call window jewels. On my cards I write " When crystals are hung in windows they bring prosperity and good energies into your home"
I moved to Tidewater over two years ago and live on the river. I have been in several art shows around the area and my biggest brag is I have my work in the River Run Gallery up the McKenzie river. He's a very well know metal artist and if you'd like to see his work check www.kenscottsculptures.com.

 Mountain Jewel Alpacs
Their website:mountainjewelalpacas.com
We are Sherm and Cindy Whitlock. We have raised 2 great boys and are looking forward to the time we can retire from our chosen careers, Sherm in the electrical utility field for 30 years+ and Cindy in health care for 26 years. We very much enjoy the country lifestyle and caring for our herd of alpacas. Beyond that, we've had the pleasure to meet many, many new friends along our path! What can be better than that!
We've been involved in raising and breeding alpacas for over 5 years now. We've learned much in those 5 years! The clothing, textiles, and accessories that can be made from alpaca fiber are limited only by your imagination. The beauty and comfort of alpaca clothing is unsurpassed.
