Meet the Collector - Ticketed Reception Saturday October 16, 2 - 5 pm Tickets at the door $10 Kastle Hill Wine Alma Catering Music by Geoffrey Mays. We invite you to come enjoy this unique opportunity to view and own your first Wyland art or add a Wyland piece to your existing collection. The artist: Internationally renowned marine life artist and conservationist Wyland has captured the love of people everywhere by completing over 100 marine life murals around the world, known as the Whaling Walls. Wyland is one of the most celebrated and recognized artists of our time. On his 25th birthday in 1981 Wyland completed his first Whaling Wall in Newport, Oregon on the Hotel Laguna Property. The collector: Jeff Kaspar, a commercial fisherman, was delivering fish in Newport at that time. Seeing the magnificent mural, he was immediately captivated by the artist's ability to so accurately replicate marine life through art. Kaspar had taken up seasonal commercial fishing to pay his way through college but quickly realized his love was the waterfront, the sea and marine life. Commercial fishing became his 40+ year career with his own off shore fishing boat. After seeing Wyland's Newport mural, Kaspar visited the artist's gallery in San Diego at Seaport Village. There Kaspar met Wyland, over time became one of Wyland's favorite collectors and considers him a friend. |

6 Week Drawing Course:
Creating Form with Light & Shade (Oct 15 - Nov 19)
Instructor: Heather Sterling-Minder
Creating Form with Light & Shade (Oct 15 - Nov 19)
Instructor: Heather Sterling-Minder
This 6 week course based on traditional academic drawing techniques will give students a basic understanding of the tried and true classical drawing skills needed to not only create convincing graphite drawings, but to also enhance creations in any medium by encouraging observation and focus. Each lesson is guided by the principle that just as musicians begin with scales in order to ultimately create a composition, artists should begin with a basic set of techniques before delving into creating representational art. Specific topics will include the anatomy of shadow and light, value and composition, types of materials, and specific graphite techniques. All levels and ages are welcome!
Fridays 9:30 am - 11:30 am
October 15th - November 19th
$120 class fee (includes all 6 classes)
$15 optional materials fee (please discuss your preference with instructor upon sign up)
Classes will be taught at the New Zone Gallery in Eugene located at 110 E. 11th. For details, registration and/or questions email Heather at heather.sterling@yahoo.com

New Zone Gallery Artists Sponsor Student Intern Study Program 2019
Each year New Zone Gallery sponsors Springfield A3 Students specializing in the arts. New Zone Gallery is proud to have this community service opportunity with A-3. Our gallery mission is community involvement and increasing artistic capability and awareness throughout the Eugene/Springfield area. The student artists work with as many gallery artists and in as many mediums as possible in the month of January, which is set aside for students to intern in whatever field they choose.
Seen below, the interns, Emily and Raven, are finishing up their artwork with Dianne, the second of two visits. On the first visit they spent four hours creating a number of pieces from clay, after a 20 minute tutorial. Once dried, I took their work in to be fired. Then back to glaze. They have approached glazing with the same highly motivated enthusiasm as their first visit with me. The students say this month of artwork has been fun and interesting for them. The reports I’m hearing from other artists who volunteered their time, energy and materials have all very been positive.
