The exhibit will also feature four images from the upcoming La Pine Chamber sponsored cookbook, for which Jensen contributed over two-dozen images. Jensen said “This is a fun exhibit because it shows the beauty of many areas of Central Oregon, as well as many simple and difficult photographic techniques. I’m especially pleased to feature the four images from the Men of La Pine cookbook because it will help promote the cookbook available in mid February. It shows how you can take present day images and create ‘vintage’ images from them. Plus, I had a blast working with the subjects and cookbook coordinator Teri Myers on the project.”
Jensen also added “It’s so hard for a photographer to select just a few images for an exhibit like this. One of the photos I’m most well known for is the Viet-Nam Memorial Wall photo titled Honoring Their Service. This image really seems to resonate with people. It’s a bit eerie to view, but you can’t stop looking at. It draws you in.” The exhibit images can also be seen and prints can be ordered at www.michaelcjensenphotography.com.

Bonnie Junell is inspired each winter to find the splendor in all things snow and ice. Two of her latest creations show the beauty and quiet solitude of the winter season. Come see Out of the Aspens which is a 30 x 48 original oil painting. The last three years she has painted her beloved Clydesdale horses into snowy paintings which have also become Christmas cards. These images found their way onto small giclees and hanging ornaments as well.
Junell also creates small affordable original oil paintings (6 x 12) and the gallery will be featuring, Winter Solitude a tranquil and soothing wintery scene of Central Oregon.
Scott Cunningham finds himself exceedingly busy as an artist and as a business owner since he builds and sells the Plasma cutters he uses in his metal creations. Last year, he lead the Artists Gallery in art sales as his attention to detail and amazing precision metal sculptures spoke to locals and visitors.
North Middle Sister is a pains taking multi dimensional piece and is Scott’s interpretation of the North and Middle Sisters Mountains in steel. This large art installation features a deep blue/green alpine lake scene with the mountains as the beautiful back drop.
Renne Brock is renowned for her contemporary painting style. “I use art to express life’s experiences,” says Brock. “My paintings reflect the aspects of life that are difficult to verbalize yet easier to understand through an image. This artistic process provides me with the liberties to go beyond the obvious and delve deeper into the meaning and relationships we experience in life. I constantly strive to stretch the form and shape to the edge of our boundaries of realism, and then move beyond that point to see relationships in another dimension.”
Rochelle Davenport is best known at the Gallery for her stunning metal smithing in beautiful silver jewelry. She has also crafted 14k gold and platinum wedding bands as well as sterling silver earrings, bracelets and pendants. Davenport has been designing unique jewelry locally since 1997. She would be happy to discuss your design ideas when she creates a special hand crafted piece just for you for a gift or special event.
