Seasonal accents seduce the senses at Fairweather House and Gallery. A sensational annual event is coming up.

Gallery entrance fall display.

The chocolate-brown pleated, skirted linen table cover, crowned with glass, sets a sultry fall stage and intensifies deep chocolate and smoldering earth tones. Lush gold, terracotta, and mouth-blown amber art glass elements cast a slow-burning, sunlit glow that lingers.

Antique brass and weathered wood command attention in the entry display, daring the eye to linger. The design unapologetically flaunts signature ceramics and timeworn pieces—tarnish, aged metals, and distressed wood—that pulse with raw, authentic character. Sumptuous velvet and intensely handworked textiles dominate the decorative pillows, inviting touch and challenging any notion of restraint.

Seasonal accents seduce the senses with subtle botanical touches and a daringly refined take on autumn, while copper picture frames and espresso bronze candlesticks ignite a moody, irresistible ambiance.

A live-edge coffee table by award-winning NW wood artist Stuart Dittbrenner isn’t just furniture—it’s a bold statement carved from a solid wood slab that refuses to hide the tree’s wild side, flaunting its raw, untrimmed outer contour, untamed curves, knots, growth rings, and the primal edge of its bark-line shape.

Acclaimed regional wood sculptor Mike Brown doesn’t just craft bowls and signs—he carves bold statements from native Oregon wood. Each piece exposes a striking spectrum of natural color, from blazing golden honey to deep, moody browns. Forged from Myrtlewood, a dense, unyielding hardwood that shrugs off heavy wear, these creations are built not only to function as tables, but to challenge the ordinary.

Fall art by Vicki Baker and Jo Pomeroy-Crockett

A deliberately seductive, intimate tablescape that revels in autumn’s darker side, drenched in moody, earthy hues—deep olive, cognac, chocolate brown, and inky blue. Every element flaunts authentic, time-worn materials like split, dark-stained bamboo and natural walnut and burlwood, chosen to age provocatively and tell bolder stories with every passing season.

The accessories have unapologetic character, storied vintage and mid-century one-of-a-kind pieces, combined with sensual hand-thrown pottery that captures the fall season.

Original art that fearlessly collides pattern with pattern to provoke, NW artists Vicki Baker and Jo Pomeroy-Crockett push each piece to the edge, capturing the season’s upheaval in a rush of saturated color, fractured light, and audacious symbols of change and transience.

Art by Penelope Culbertson and watercolor by Mary Lyn Gough

Penelope Culbertson’s original framed fall collage is a bold, tactile, multi-layered seduction of the senses, distilling autumn’s raw pulse into a collision of incendiary warm tones and dangerously provocative textures, while Mary Lyn Gough’s watercolor painting features a deep black background and unleashes a stark, high-contrast drama where the vibrant botanical flowers sit in sharp, irresistible relief.

And it’s also the boo season’s last call. A hand-sculpted bronze candlebra, a perfectly imperfect thrown pottery bowl signed by the artist, pressed flower coasters by Mike Mason, hand-made Halloween cards, a mouth-blown, one-of-a-kind art glass pumpkin, and a seductive textile table runner dare you to indulge in a living-in-the-moment display. In just a few weeks, the gallery will shed its spooky skin and explode into the fa-la-la season, a bold, head-spinning pivot that will take center stage for the Wine Walk on November 6th.

LAYERED, Fairweather’s October exhibition.

Sunflowers and Silver MJFA

Sunflowers and Silver (16×20 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander.

I began the trio. The sunflowers have such an exuberant presence, and I liked contrasting their warm yellows and ochres with silver’s cooler gleam. The deep burgundy cloth and rich pomegranate colors let me move away from a traditional summery sunflower painting and toward something crisp, bright, and a bit more autumnal. –-Melissa Jander

Lilies and Plums MJFA

Lilies and Plums ( 20×16 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander

This painting is perhaps the most personal for me. The lilies were a gift from a friend’s garden, which added an extra layer of meaning. Their pale, luminous shapes paired with the darker plums and patterned cloth created a lovely balance of delicacy and richness. I wanted it to retain that feeling of something generously given and then enjoyed while it lasted. –MJ

Dahlias and Pear MJFA

Dahlias and Pear (16×20 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander

This painting completes the group of three for the LAYERED exhibition with a darker, earthier mood. The warm dahlias, brown pear, plums, books, and old stoneware pitcher all seemed to belong together. I especially enjoyed the quiet suggestion of accumulated things and lived experience—the books, the old pottery, seasonal fruit, and flowers at their peak. –MJ

Bowls by Forest Bash.

Finding joy in the authentic can lead to a more fulfilling life. In a world often overwhelmed by the pursuit of unattainable ideals, embracing simplicity allows us to focus on what truly matters. This approach encourages us to cherish meaningful experiences, build deeper connections, and cultivate gratitude for the often-overlooked things we make by hand. By intentionally selecting items in the physical landscapes of our homes, we create room for creativity, mindfulness, and a clearer path.

Bowls and platters by Forest Bash embrace rustic simplicity, embodying a sense of tranquility found only in handmade pieces. Understated elegance in unpretentiousness; the beauty lies in the authentic

Forest Bash’s bowls celebrate the charm of handcrafted objects, organic materials, and serene colors that evoke peace and contentment. By embracing his philosophy, you can cultivate a lifestyle that prioritizes simplicity and mindfulness, encouraging you to enjoy life’s small gestures using handmade things.

Close-up detail of a Forest Bash bowl.

The bowl’s beauty lies in its asymmetry, rough textures, and smooth details. The firing reflects the passage of time in tangible ways, celebrating its unique character. This perspective lets you appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating the piece, as well as the experiences it has endured, with each mark representing a moment in its journey.

Forest Bash is a ceramic artist, painter, and designer who creates nature-inspired, wheel-thrown functional stoneware. Urban contemporary, zen-influenced designs that merge calligraphic brushwork with functional pottery. Wheel-thrown stoneware finished with hand-painted, food-safe custom glazes. He is the son of artist Steve A. Bash.

I am currently experimenting with merging ceramics, calligraphy and painting techniques into an aesthetic and style that is my own. My Functional Ceramic Art is inspired and defined by my experiences in nature and the urban environment, and finding balance in the two. Bringing the motif and expression of urban art to the flow and grounding presence of Nature.  Forest Bash

Steve A. Bash: A Retrospective on Collage Artistry

Artist Steve A. Bash created a single visual composition that combines multiple photographs into one unified storytelling piece, creating a rich tapestry. Derived from the French word coller (“to glue”), collages traditionally involved physically cutting and pasting pictures onto a backing surface such as canvas. In the hands of a skilled artist, a photo collage can tell intricate stories and convey complex themes, making it a powerful medium for artistic exploration. The selection of images, the arrangement, and the use of color all contribute to the overall impact, inviting the audience to engage with the piece and discover new narratives within. Ultimately, a well-crafted photo collage serves not only as a decoration but also as a meaningful reflection of the human experience, celebrating moments both big and small.

Modern collage artwork flows using templates to arrange images into grids, overlapping layers, or freeform shapes.

Steve A. Bash briefly worked at Disneyland as a toy soldier, was involved in scouting, and umpired Little League. He attended the University of California and graduated with a degree in Biology. Steve had a lifelong interest in science and an extensive science book collection totaling hundreds. Steve made Seaside his home for nearly 45 years. He had a lifelong passion for art of all mediums. He reached prominence as a photographer, particularly of the Oregon coast, and was highly regarded as an abstract collage artist. He was featured often in several art galleries in Seaside and Cannon Beach. He passed away in October 2025.

Featuring original works in an exhibition titled LAYERED.

NW artist Melissa Jander introduces simplified shapes and looser brushwork. “For this series, I  “layer” familiar things: flowers, silver, and pottery. Ordinary objects carry associations of changing seasons.” 

Bob Kroll, a photographer, presents a trio of sandhill cranes and writes: “There is an Oregon/Washington connection, where they stopover during their migration along the Pacific Flyway to their overwintering areas.“ 

Diane Copenhaver primarily paints abstract works using acrylics on varied surfaces. She uses layers of paint to create texture. 

Agnes Field curates a captivating display of Steve A. Bash’s innovative collages in a posthumous retrospective that weaves a compelling saga through a meticulously layered review of the seasons. Each artwork invites viewers to explore the intricate interplay between nature and human emotion, showcasing how changes in the environment echo the complexities of our lives. This exhibition not only highlights Bash’s unique artistic vision but also encourages a deep reflection on the cycles of life, inviting guests to revisit their own experiences across the ever-shifting landscape of time and memory.

Vanessa K. Stokes was introduced at Fairweather’s when she was fifteen, as an artist to watch. A self-taught Oregon artist who creates specific, themed art, Stokes will speak about her “Layered” series. Her talk will cap off the 2026 Art Walk cultural season.

Live acoustic guitar and songs by Seaside musician Jason Lambert, 5- 6 p.m.
