Jan Shield, Professor Emeritus of Art at Pacific University, Forest Grove, creates art at Dancing Trees Sanctuary. “It is my home, studio and forest preserve in Newberg, Oregon. It is an environment of thick fir and maple forest blanketed with lush ferns and punctuated with sun lit meadows.”
And, too, Shield was one of over 30 professional artists, designers, architects, indigenous artists, writers, photographers, craftspeople and tradesmen from the Northwest were invited to participate in the Outside The Box show, an unusual and exciting art exhibition at Clatsop Community College’s Royal Nebeker Art Gallery through April 28th.

Where and when, you ask?
In the estuary, within steps of downtown Seaside a few days ago!
Neal focuses his imagery on exploring wildlife in the context of its habitat and is dedicated to working with coastal communities to protect wildlife habitat and its connectivity. A percentage of all photography sales are donated to North Coast Land Conservancy to help further this goal.
Save the dates and times. During the Seaside First Saturday Art Walks at Fairweather’s Neal Maine speaks promptly at 6 p.m. about the natural history of the North Coast!
