Thoughts from Kathy Deggendorfer: Autumn at the ranch is always
beautiful. I love the
look of the fields changing from the green of summer to the golds of
fall.
This year our cows are having their
calves in late August and September. Fall calving makes life easier
on the babies and us--we don't have to deal with the harsh realities
of winter or the mosquitoes of spring and early summer.
We had a lovely,lush summer with
copious amounts of green grass for grazing and early snows on the
mountains. That combination gave us a white blanket of fresh snow on
the mountains and lots of big color and contrast in our fall fields.
The shadows are deepened this time of year and those great elements
of light catch the eye and remind us of the bounty of the land. --

About Kathy Deggendorfer: Kathy
Deggendorfer lives on a cattle and hay ranch just outside of Sisters,
Oregon. Inspired by the color, pattern and texture of her
surroundings, she creates vibrant and colorful watercolor paintings.
Whimsical images of flowers and ranch life fill the paintings with
color and life. "Folks tell me they just feel happy when they
look at my work-- that makes me happy."
Raised
in Portland, Oregon, in a clothing manufacturing family, she says
,"Sewing skills skipped a generation with me... but I love
fabric. I like to call my creations 'Painters Quilts.' I can prowl
around the rounders full of prints at the Stitchin' Post with the
best of 'em... I just put my fabrics in with a paintbrush."
Kathy's collaborative work with master quilter, Tonye Belinda
Phillips, is another fun combination of painted image and textile
interpretation.
Kathy
is currently working on a project about Oregon Specialty Farming and
sustainable farm practices. This project takes her out into the
fields of Oregon farms to paint and learn about what makes Oregon
agricultural practices and people unique. Trips to the cattle
ranches of Eastern Oregon and vineyards of the Willamette Valley
provide her with plenty of rich and colorful images.
Kathy's
work is collected throughout the Pacific Northwest and reaches out to
all corners of the United States. Represented by High Desert Gallery
of Central Oregon, she has pieces in the permanent collection at
Redmond Airport, 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Poster Artist, she
wrote and illustrated a children's book for St. Charles Medical
Center, and her work has been translated into clothing and fabric for
Columbia Sportswear. In 2005, Kathy was awarded 'Citizen of the
Year' in Sisters Oregon for her contributions to the community and
the arts. High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon
is honored to represent Kathy Deggendorfer exclusively in Central
Oregon.
