Tempis Fugit/Lloyd McMullen
Lloyd McMullen at Pence-Pinckney Gallery
There's no such thing as useless or unworthy when viewed through the eyes of Bend artist Lloyd McMullen. Her work often features found objects or "cast-off" items—most that might be given the tag "trash," but if that same piece of trash finds its way to McMullen's studio, it will no doubt be turned into a treasure. Her ability to create magic-filled objects from the ordinary showcases the true wonder of the world we live in.
Her newest show opening Thursday at the Pence-Pinckney Gallery at COCC, titled, "So Far / As I Know" features two and three-dimensional work with an array of rusting, textured objects, found images and acrylic paints. "They explore the archeological nature of learning," she said of the resulting pieces.

Paul Alan Bennett at Bend Art Center
Longtime member of the arts community, Paul Alan Bennett, has a new show. The Sisters artist has been capturing the spirit of the high desert through its many transitions. This new show is a series of mixed-media prints on the theme of "Imagination and the Stars."
While Bennett's style fluctuates, the feelings and whimsy he always seems to capture does not. A true original and master, Bennett's show is sure to please.
