Artist featured in the October show:
Mary Flerchinger is a founder and current president of Blue Mountain Artisan Guild in Pomeroy. She works mainly in oil and acrylics. “The beauty of Peola and the ranch inspires me and shows in my work. I prefer vivid colors and bold strokes. I would like my art to tell a story or portray a feeling.”
John Lawson creates wood carvings of western scenes that tell a story. “I have done scroll saw and wood carving intermittently from about 2000 on. I developed my own technique to use a scroll saw and Dremel tool to develop 3D drawings. I enjoy bringing a flat picture to 3D.“
Laurel King started painting after taking classes and individual instruction at Blue Mountain Artisan Guild. Her oil painting reflect the beauty of life in Southeastern Washington.
Helen Ortins Boland is a lifelong naturalist and science teacher who uses art to understand her environment. She works mostly in watercolor, but also uses ink, acrylics, pastel and assemblage. “My favorite work is created on site in nature.” En Plein air painting brings me to the mountains, farms, gardens and even in town, presenting opportunities to capture form, expression and movement.”
