In one image, a holiday card, a brown bear glides down a mountain on the pure white snow. He is wearing a blue down jacket, a green striped scarf whipping in the wind, a Santa hat, and a smile from ear to ear. His pup rides in the front. It is an image that is […]
For our cover artist of the month, Bradley Alston, art is a chance to manifest an imaginative, animated world that straddles both natural elements and high-grade science fiction. For everyone else, his work is a glimpse into the mind of a talented comic artist who is equally fascinated with the paranormal as he is with […]
For the painter of nature scenes, travel can be a genuine muse. Sisters’ Kathy Deggendorfer brings scenes of Oregon’s dramatic beauty across the world and finds inspiration. Deggendorfer’s water color designs have been part of the Central Oregon art scene since she moved to Sisters in 1994 from Bend. She grew up in Portland but […]
In the six years that Portland artist Tracie Broughton has been a fine art painter, the prolific painter has embarked on ambitious projects with a distinctive style suggesting a much longer career. Broughton is a graphic designer by trade whose murals and lifelike canvases evoke a joyful liveliness in both form and substance. The photographic […]
Self-described “beertographer” and Bend resident Matthew Ward (aka: Bend Brew Daddy) has two passions common to a large swath of Central Oregonians: photography and craft beers. A stay-at-home dad, Ward was in the habit of heading outside with a beer in hand for some alone time when his wife Lisa came home from work at […]

Bend-based painter Caroline Cornell grew up in big sky country—Eureka, Montana, to be exact, a secluded town of a few thousand on the edge of the Canadian border, with a name that is an apt sentiment to her artistic inspiration. Combining nature, distinctly stylized landscapes, Dali-esque contorted trees, muted colors and a slight obsession with […]
Portland artist Bettina McEntyre makes use of a cocktail of imagination and pattern to create eye-catching creatures in her drawing and painting. Never quite human but always expressive, and never fully recognizable as a non-blob species of animal, her characters are all at once uncomfortable and hilarious, a vision of a world that exists only […]
A tinge of nostalgia creeps through the collected works of Portland oil painter Anna Magruder. The sepia-tone portraits, the skewed facial proportions and the knitting together of animal and human mark her work. But it’s not a sadness or wistfulness for the past that inspires Magruder’s storytelling painting style, it’s a fascination with her subjects’ […]
Portland-based oil painter Mark Rogers is the master of the button-up, dark and disturbed. His images are vivid: a maggot-topped hotdog ready to be devoured by a pupil-less boogieman in a bolo tie and a top hat; swamp monsters preaching to hoodie-clad teens; the universe condensed into a birdhouse presented by a button-eyed ringmaster. He […]
