“Exotic” mixed media watercolor  by JoAnn Pari-Mueller

“The work is a painting in paper. I’ve carefully cut and arranged paper to mimic what I do in watercolor with color, value, and shape. The benefit is the textural, three-dimensional effect it creates.”  JPM

December – On Hue Exhibit

“Hues or colors are so pure – no white or blacks added – just rich, delightful, lose yourself in the color.”

In my new works this month, two are executed in watercolor, evoking warmth and redolence, one is a jewel toned mixed media work on handmade paper.” JoAnn Pari-Mueller 

 

In addition, HUE features a lavish array of  handmade jewelry of mixed-metal, leather, gold-filled and semi-precious stones from many of the Northwest’s most reputable jewelry artists.

It is a once-a-year exclusive private jewelry shopping experience to select the latest edgy fashion forward works.

Guess what?  A Generous Nature, and Neal Maine’s story, is one of the six!

Here is a link that is on Oregon Live:

(From the review:) “…Many of Oregon’s most cherished public lands didn’t just happen to be protected. They were preserved by individuals….  (This) new book tells the stories of 21 Oregonians and how …they found ways to protect what they loved.”

Marcy Houle, author

“Elk Run” Coastal elk in the Necanicum Estuary, Seaside Oregon  by Neal Maine.

Grace note received by HUE artist, JPM.

“This year marks my tenth anniversary of creating art. My background as a Portland Art Museum docent inspired my desire to delve into what I have to say using primarily watercolors and calligraphy with some delving into pastels and painting with paper. I find myself most attracted to exploring nature – objects and living creatures of the air, land, and water. I have won several awards from the Oregon Society of Artists and the Watercolor Society of Oregon and have enjoyed opening my studio to the public during the last 5 years Washington County Open Studio Tour.”  JoAnn Pari-Mueller

Just in from Mary Schlunegger. The art of unexpected embroidery in handmade scarves.

 

One-of-a-kind shawl with silk embroidery, cotton textile on silk fusion by Mary Schlunegger.

 

“You can see in my work a very close connection with the ocean,” Mary says.

 

Reversible shawl I

Reversible shawl II

 

“This navy blue is a vibrant ocean blue and, combined with lovely pearl buttons, has resulted in a smooth harmony. The silk fusion was stitched to a background of silk and backed with cut silk flowers, using free motion machine stitching, hand embroidery, and beading to accentuate portions of the silk fusion and then hand-couched with  some rich hand spun yarn to the surface,”  Mary Schlunegger.

 

 

 

 

 

“The silk fibers in this silk fusion were hand dyed using kool-aid,”  Mary Schlunegger.

 

About the artist:


“Having spent most of my life growing up surfing the shores of California and Hawaii I have been able to find great inspiration from those memories. I love to experiment with color and texture in fiber art, mixing techniques with different materials using skills learned in college and numerous workshops. Having retired after decades of running a successful Interior Design business, I now have the time to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a full time textile artist drawing my inspiration from the Oregon Coast, the place I now call home.”  Mary Schlunegger
