Junell & Clinton at Sunriver Library

The Friends of the Sunriver Area Library present an exhibit featuring painting by Bonnie Junell and jewelry/metalwork by Judy Clinton.  

JunellJunell was born in Portland and lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband and son. She says, “As an artist, you look at everything with an artist’s perspective. When you look at clouds you think about shape, color and light.”  
This artist’s eye and attention to detail is evident in her work, whether it’s a cityscape or landscape. Junell’s work can be seen in galleries throughout Oregon and Washington, including the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver and the Heritage Gallery in Vancouver. She is a member of Oil Painters of America and Northwest Oil Painters Guild.  

clintonClinton is from Madison, Wisconsin, where she completed a master of science degree in art (art metal) with a minor in geology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. You can see examples of her illustration work in several geology books and in the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals, but she has recently returned to her personal artistic passion: art metal or metalsmithing.  

Clinton says, “The construction of three-dimensional objects is always fascinating and intriguing. Learning a new technique and combining it with other techniques gives me a sense of discovery and fun. I am captivated with using different metals in a piece, by asymmetry and geometric shapes, and with the contrast of smooth and patterned surfaces.”  

The exhibit continues through the end of June. A portion of any sales from the Library gallery directly benefits the Friends of the Sunriver Area Library, and helps efforts to fund special programs at the Library. 56855 Venture Lane in Sunriver.
