Makin’ it Local is thrilled to feature the artwork of Bend artist Dave Fox, whose stunning landscape paintings beautifully capture the quiet magic, rugged beauty, and emotional pull of Central Oregon.
Known for his richly textured oil paintings, Dave’s work invites viewers to slow down and step into the landscapes they love — from the glow of alpine light on the Three Sisters to winding sagebrush trails, peaceful mountain paths, and the expansive skies of Oregon’s high desert. His paintings don’t simply depict a place; they evoke the feeling of being there.
“What we especially love about Dave’s work is the incredible sense of place and emotion he brings to every piece,” said Myrna Dow, of Makin’ it Local. “His paintings feel deeply personal while celebrating the wild beauty of Central Oregon in a way that resonates with so many of us. Whether it reminds you of a favorite hike, a quiet moment outdoors, or simply why you love living here, his artwork creates a meaningful connection.”
Working primarily in oils, Dave Fox blends mood, storytelling, and painterly texture to create timeless landscapes that feel both familiar and deeply moving. His work speaks to longtime locals, outdoor lovers, and visitors alike — anyone who feels connected to Oregon’s breathtaking natural beauty.
“We’re especially excited to share Dave’s work because it feels so authentically Central Oregon,” added Dow. “There’s a warmth and honesty in his paintings that people instantly connect with.”
A wonderful selection of Dave Fox prints is now available at Makin’ it Local in Sisters, Oregon, making it easy to bring a little piece of the Central Oregon high desert home with you.
