Korey Gulbrandson Dream Academy
Mixed Media Encaustic 68 x 48"

Korey Gulbrandson began his artistic career as a child, when he won a local supermarket coloring contest. It was in high school, when he found some old oil paints that belonged to his mother, that he began to use paint as his main medium.

Creating his abstracts is a laborious process that begins with carefully crafting wooden canvasses, then applying layers of wax and acrylic paint, working to emphasize contrasting elements and texture. Korey's new work is a development in texture and refinement of his technique. "I'm never content" says Korey. "There is always something new to be done."

He now focuses on furthering his style by creating abstracts in a simple, yet sophisticated manner. Gulbrandson's newest body of work personifies his philosophical perspective, much like the new tatoo he wears, which reads simply: "Less is more".

Meet Korey Gulbrandson during his artist reception at LAWRENCE GALLERY SALISHAN on Saturday, November 6, from 2 PM to 4 PM.

Jeff Butler's subject matter comes from memory, imagination, and interpretation of life unfolding. Previous training and experience in photography and graphic design began his journey as an artist. Ultimately, he was drawn to sculpture to explore form, space and dimension in a more tactile manner. Chosen for durability, sustainability, and complimentary to his work, his chosen materials are a combination of organic materials such as wood, stone, metal and pigment. Each element is carefully selected, cut, carved, formed and surfaced to maximize the visual impact of the finished piece. Says Butler, "My objective for each piece of sculpture is to arouse interest, draw the viewer closer and intrigue the mind. The interplay of materials and form is designed to hold interest. My style is abstract and contemporary and offers the opportunity for personal interpretation and conversation."

Jeff Butler's work will be featured during November and December at LAWRENCE GALLERY SALISHAN. His first show with Lawrence Gallery, you may meet the artist during a reception on Saturday, November 6, from two o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon.

Neal Philpott Ridge House
Painting Oils 11 x 14"

Neal Philpott seeks to capture the fleeting imagery of our natural world in his landscape paintings. Classically trained in the fine arts, Philpott brings this expertise and experience to each painting. His love of color and engagement with composition is expressed in the nuance and atmosphere he achieves. Bold diagonal movement and lusciously painted surfaces define his vision of the forests, mountains, fields, and valleys of the Pacific Northwest. Using paint layering, edge control, color temperature modulation, and glazing, Philpott creates art that bring the viewer into his austerely inviting landscape.

Philpott is an avid artist, musician, designer and runner. He has had several successful Portland area shows and is a ten-year contributor to the Sitka Art Invitational. An accomplished guitar player, he has played in clubs all around the Portland area. He is also design director for a Portland based museum and exhibit design and fabrication firm. Philpott stays active running the rural roads searching for that different and special view that could become a future painting.

Recently, Philpott was awarded third place in the Fresh Paint National Juried competition, which attracted over 100 artists from across the United States and Canada.

Visit Neil Philpott at his reception at LAWRENCE GALLERY SHERIDAN on Sunday, November 7, from two o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon.

As if she knew what Bon Appetit would report about our region, Nancy Tipton chose to focus on food as the theme of her new show at Lawrence Gallery Sheridan. Each year Bon Appétit scours the country to find towns with the most inspired culinary culture. This year McMinnville, Oregon was chosen as second in the nation for "America's Foodiest Town [UTF-8?]2010â€! How exciting that Nancy Tipton's newest collection of oils and watercolors include paintings of waitstaff and farmer's market fare that are deliciously pleasing to the eye!

Visit Nancy during her artist reception at LAWRENCE GALLERY SHERIDAN (just eight miles west of America's second "foodiest town")on Sunday, the 7th of November, from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
