Red Chair Gallery at the corner of Bond and Oregon in Downtown Bend welcomes two new artist members to their group of over 30 Artists.

Michelle Lindblom, a former professor of visual art in North Dakota moved  to Bend in 2015.  She is a painter and printmaker and has shown work throughout the US.  Prior to her move, Michelle had her own gallery and studio in North Dakota.  She has created her own studio space and is now involved with her art on a full time basis.  Lindblom’s current works in the Red Chair combines monotype and collage and explores the expressive and intuitive use of color, movement and texture bringing a new and exciting offering to the gallery.

Nancy Hoyt is an Oregon native and graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in fine and applied arts.  Her emphasis is jewelry and metalsmithing which has allowed her to create beautiful jewelry for over four decades.  Some of the processes Hoyt employs include lost wax casting and hand fabrication techniques.  From custom wedding rings to fun and whimsical everyday jewelry, her work will delight every level of buyer.  Materials include silver, yellow, white and rose gold and a variety of precious and semi precious stones.  Each piece is meant to be worn and often is touched with a bit of whimsy.

Both Lindblom and Hoyt’s work can be seen at the Red Chair Gallery year round.
