Scott Schauer at Deschutes Brewery Swing by the Deschutes Brew Pub on your First Friday Art Walk and check out our March artist of the month: Scott Schauer Learn a little more about Scott from the words of Scott, Me? I’ve lived as far east as Colorado and hunkered down in Ketchum, ID., White Pass, WA., and Mt. Rainier National Park. I spent a truly adventurous summer in Cordova, AK. as well as the ever popular I-5 corridor in cities like Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Eugene. But I call Bend, OR home. Influenced, you bet! Spending my formative youth in the beautiful Pacific Northwest has brought me the greatest joy imaginable. The exposure to the mountains, sea, forests and high desert has shaped me like wind against the sand. Each location has taught me to respect the outdoors, to tread lightly, be the kindness to all living things, not to mention a few heaping doses of humility. Real life. It exists outside of your comfort zone, but mostly outside your house. This whole dream started as a young mischievous lad. I learned how to ride a bike and how to ski. I traveled the northwest looking for adventure. I also loved to draw growing up. There was a very creative side that reared itself periodically. My folks encouraged me to pursue anything that made me happy, (like a career... thanks, dad). Although my talents were raw, and technology was bubbling to the surface, I knew it was just a matter of time before the tech / art collision.

HONOR Modern is the brainchild of two artists who fell hard for building something together. From life to furniture, their collaboration has been nothing short of symbiotic. With woodworking at the heart and photography in the soul, Brandon Beckley & Kristina Cyr took what they knew of their crafts and put them to work. The duo approaches each piece with a fine art sensibility and a keen respect for their source materials. From the NW milled black walnut to the 100% natural wool out of New Hampshire, environmentally sustainable and USA made products are the backbone of each collection. Beckley and Cyr are committed to bringing timeless innovation to the modern furniture scene, so stay tuned and turn it up.

Barb Gonzalez at The Oxford Join The Oxford Hotel for First Friday #inbend! Throughout the month of March, we'll be displaying Barb Gonzalez's photographs of Central Oregon...and beyond. Barb made Bend her home in 2009 and, over the last 10 years, her photos of the #pnw and other destinations often appeared in the travel section of local newspapers (namely "The Bulletin" in Bend and "The Register-Guard" in Eugene). Magazines including "Travel World Magazine", Alaska and Horizon Airlines’ "Alaska Beyond" in-flight magazine, "Cascade Journal", "Outdoors NW", and "Oregon Wine Press" have also featured her art. Her popularity as a photographer reflects her considerable skill. Barb works to capture the essence of a place to create memorable images. Her refined perception of the subject tells a story — from vast mountain landscapes to close-up views of a determined, blooming foxglove winding its way through a rusting truck bumper. Subject proximity in her scenes further engages the viewer. “I hope to share the beauty of both nature and manmade things,” she says, “so those who view my photos are as touched as I was when taking the shot.” Barb will be in our lobby during #FirstFridayBend. Come say hello and view the photographs included in the exhibit! Veronica Busch Photography at Team Coon, Alleda Real Estate Stop by Team Coon at 25 NW Minnesota and see my new collection of Equine and Landscape images taken from 2018, it was a wonderful year full of adventures. Amanda Clair at The Velvet Lounge Amanda Clair works mainly with water-based media, spray paint and textiles. Extracting her inspiration from the Oregon landscape; it’s textures and colors, mixed with her memories of the moments she spent in a place.
