Beyond what has been provided herein, we have no additional information regarding this artwork., Ruza Erceg In 1961, Ruza Erceg said to her daughter, Helen, "If I have paint brush, I start to make painting." Helen relayed this message to her brother Joseph, a graphic designer, who, that same day, bought her watercolors, brushes and paper. She immediately began to produce delightful, colorful images. Ruza was born in the fanning village of Imotski, Yugoslavia in 1898 and came to this country in 1922. She and her husband first settled in Pennsylvania then moved to Oregon. Ruza Erceg paints images of her past in Yugoslavia. They are soft and colorful images of rural scenes (farms, fields and farm houses), villages, white buildings with red tile roofs and an occasional painting of a sailboat or of a larger city. Her images are of no particular site but rather of a collective spirit of the land she left so long ago. Numerous paintings are surrounded with delightful painted borders which suggest a painted frame to contain the image., The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

Beyond what has been provided herein, we have no additional information regarding this artwork., The works in this unusual exhibit are by California artist Ed Wong. He was chosen to be artist-in-residence at Eastern Oregon State Hospital in Pendleton out of 28 applicants who applied from all parts of the country. The 4-month residency was made possible through funds from Oregon's 1% for Art in Public Places program. Ed Wong proposed to do a series of figure studies of the residents. Over the 4 months that he lived and worked in the hospital, Ed became friends with many people; he painted them in everyday situations and came to know each one as an individual. Ed's work is compassionate, immediate, and powerful. It helps to celebrate the differences in people and reinforce each personality.
