of Central Oregon is pleased and honored to make available artwork by regionally
acclaimed Oregon artist, Kathy Deggendorfer. Spot Sits on the Cabin Porch: We've been spending quite a bit of
time out at the cabin this year. It's winter now but I still like to
paint bits of summertime from memory. I love the places where the creeks flow into the main
river and you can catch little glimpses of those charming little cabins that are
upstream. These little cabins are quiet now but full of life all summer
long.
"Spot Sits on the Cabin
Porch" includes a little bit of what makes the Camp Sherman and
the Metolius area so special... it's a place where a friendly pooch,
like Spot ,can sit and soak up the sun and watch the river flow. A place
where you know it must be midday because the neighbor down the way came in
for lunch and left his fishing vest hanging on the hook outside the door... he
won't come out until dusk when the bugs come out and the fish jump. Oh,
and did you notice the neighbors got new sky blue cushion covers for their old
comfy bench? -- Kathy Deggendorfer February 2008
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.
