Southern Oregon Artists Resource

Stephen Edwards spent over 30 years behind a black and white viewfinder in his career as a corporate and broadcast news cameraman and as owner of Pro Video Productions in the San Francisco Bay Area. Making the transition to still black and white film photography was a natural progression. “I’ve seen the world in black and white my whole life. I feel most expressive, creative, and comfortable in the black and white format because I like the abstract nature it conjures up.”

A painter and poet, I play in the crossroads of art & spirit. My paintings are visual stanzas of a poem I will spend my life writing - with brush & pen. I've had the honor to create and exhibit art in the United States, Europe & Micronesia. "As with poetry, painting is either a battle or a dance. Given the choice between music & a sword, I choose music." It's a lovely dance. Anna teaches workshops in prophetic art and poetry; see her listing in the Teaching Artists directory.

Janis's landscape paintings in oil and pastel reside in galleries in Oregon and California. Her honors include signature status in Pastel Society of West Coast, Northwest Pastel Society, Pastel Society of New Mexico and Sierra Pastel Society, and Master Pastelist status with Pastel Society of Oregon. Published in The Pastel Artists International Magazine, she has won numerous prestigious awards in regional, national and international shows. See her listing in the Teaching Artists directory.

Expressive, impressionistic and colorful, Dianne's work was awarded First Place at Expressions West 2010, a juried exhibit of artists from the Western US, at the Coos Art  Museum in Coos Bay, OR. Specializing in figurative oil painting from photographs, she also enjoys experimenting with many mediums and subjects, including monotype prints, sculpture, and installation art.

This award-winning artist, trained in illustration, has been published nationally, had fine art added to museum collections, teaches private classes and leads women’s visual journal retreats. Ms. Frenett is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, The Plein Air Society of Southern Oregon, California Watercolor Association, and is a Watercolor West Juried Member.

Using mixed water media and collage, I paint surrealistic impressions reflecting the essential feeling ingredients of an experience. My clay sculptures explore natural processes of life from organic form to perspectives gained while navigating the flow of human experience.
