July Update - Oregon SAQA Regional Conference

In addition to keynote speaker, Pat Pauly (patpauly.com), the Oregon SAQA Regional Conference, Unpredictable Outcomes, will include three Eugene-area visual artists discussing how they handle mistakes and unexpected results. A sculptor, a painter, and a photographer have been asked to share their methods for "Dealing with Oops". 

Sculptor Jud Turner says "I learned early on to look at things around me for their alternative uses or interpretations and how I might repurpose something for my own fun. As a metal sculptor, I get to legally use fire, violence, and piracy in the name of ‘art’ and in ways that would get me in trouble in most other areas of life   ”

Painter Patti McNutt tells us that "I document my love of landscape by plein air, photos and sketchbook. “En Plein Air” is a French expression which means “in the open air”. This contrasts with painting according to studio or academic rules, which creates a pre-determined look."

Photographer Angelia Peterson has been "packing cameras on my continuing journey for over 25 years, picking up tid-bits as I go along in my self-taught exploration. I am always striving to learn that next technique to enhance the excitement, heartbreak, spirit and personality of the subjects around me."
