Pine Mountain -Oils on Canvas - 30 x 36 inches (Canvas): 

"A couple of months ago, while driving around the Millican Valley, I began to truly realize what the “high desert” is – huge areas of extremely flat land that are covered with the driest, most brittle looking, and colorful vegetation I’ve ever seen. From a distance, though, everything looked soft, and layered with beautiful arrays of muted greens and other hues like pinks and yellows. Then, there were the mountains, complacently anchored in the farthest distance from view - mountains with names like Bear Creek Mountain, and Pine Mountain. Who named them? And when were they named, and why? I know that this valley and the mountains have history, both known and unknown, but who can tell it to me? It’s time for some research. However, I decided to paint the mystery into this painting, before I came to know the realities."  Grace Bishko 2007

About Grace Bishko:  Grace lives in Central Oregon, hikes the trails, and paints her memories of what she has seen.  Never shy in the use of intense color and with a slight surreal twist of an everyday image, Grace Bishko’s art is an expression of her life – often larger than life. A serious and honest painter, she paints from her heart and of her memories and experiences. Her imagery contains an ever so slight edge to grab and retain the viewer’s attention, while at the same time satisfying their deep emotions and enjoyment. High Desert Gallery is truly honored to represent Grace Bishko.

A nationally and internationally known artist, Grace Bishko is honored that her paintings are appreciated and understood across a wide multicultural expanse. In the 1970’s she decided to stop painting from "life," and find a personal vocabulary that would allow her to paint through her emotions, because, she says "I deeply wished to speak through my art." Winning all possible awards at the Cleveland Institute of Art, she went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts degree from Rutgers, The State University, Mason Gross School of the Arts. Through education, and experimentation, her creative endeavors evolved in many stages. The results of this adventure are embedded in the artwork she is involved in today. High Desert Fine Art and High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon are proud to represent Grace Bishko.
