Southern Oregon Artists Resource

I am a novice in the field of ceramics, primarily Raku, and lapidary art. While in college I took metalsmithing and had a minor in Art History. Now that I am retired I have the time to develop my interests in these arts fields. Please see Jill's listing in the Visual Artists directory.

At Cowboy Flowers we take pride in hand-delivering the freshest artistic floral arrangements, plants and gift baskets to our customers in Jacksonville and surrounding areas, and nationwide through our trusted network of florists.

Celebrating our second gold medal in the Oregon's Best Coffee competition! We import certified fair trade and organic beans and roast custom blends nightly in our Medford roastery. Enjoy a gallery of continually rotating local art and meet the outstanding team at our newly remodeled Jacksonville cafe.

I create one-of-a-kind jewelry and wearable art that combine ethnic and modern themes with contemporary techniques. I begin each needlewoven necklace with fibers and yarns, then add metals and semi-precious stones for strength and sparkle. My scarves are handwoven on a floor loom or are nuno-felted with merino wool on silk chiffon.

Jannie creates stained glass art and fused glass jewelry from her studio in Talent. She evolved from classical designs to her own abstract creations, frequently incorporating geode slices into the designs. Her work has been published in an art glass book featuring glass artists from around the world and can be seen in various locations in Ashland and Jacksonville.

We're a local chapter of the Embroiderer's Guild of America, Greater Pacific Region, founded in 1993. Our members include all ages and skill levels. We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month for friendship and stitching (see SOAR's calendar for more information). Members of other chapters and interested people are always welcome. We also hold workshops on particular techniques, along with other opportunities to learn.
