PRESENTS
A Virtual Community
Art Exhibit
May 10 Edition
Greetings!
Recently I sent out our first virtual art show which included only museum members. This time, I wanted to include more local artists so we did a call for art again.

Also this time, we are including some prices and contact information. A couple of sales were made from the last "show" and we thought this is the right time to help artists sell their work.

Thanks to all who sent us what you are doing "in isolation."
It's so good to stay connected, even if only in cyberspace.
Many of these artists exhibit in Gallery One. If you are interested in any of the art for purchase, please contact me at the museum.
541-479-3290.

You can't stroll through the museum,
but you can scroll through this email.
Enjoy and stay safe!
Note: You can click on website links
and some of the images are hyperlinks to the artist's website.
Since it's Mother's Day - I am going to shamelessly show off my own family's art. My daughter, Courtney Jensen, graduated from Hidden Valley High School with Julie Bickle as her art instructor and mentor. She is married to an artist (Scott Jensen) and lives in Bellingham, Washington. Her art is different - she creates micromosaic jewelry (among other things).

These "heirlooms" are created from children's art and can be custom made in different shapes. Prices vary. The one on the lower right is $165. The shapes are Sterling Silver.
I also have a son, Evan, who graduated from North Valley High School and now lives in Medford. AND I have a grand daughter, Halina. Evan and his partner Megan (who is about to receive her doctorate in nursing,) have been busy giving their daughter as many
"art" related experiences as possible.
When he has the time, Evan creates wonderful metal sculptures.
Halina in magic princess land!

The museum's administrative assistant, Kristen O'Neill has been working from home because she has children. Her "jobs" are multifaceted right now. She is: a kindergarten teacher, a fifth grade teacher, a chef preparing three meals a day (plus snacks), a housekeeper, a gardener, AND she works her "normal" museum job. Oh, and she's an artist!
Her children created art especially for this virtual gallery.

I saved this for last because, for me, it stands for what we still have, even though we have lost much of what was "normal life."
