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.

Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language.

1 p. Ruza Ercez's 1995 biography., 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.

A pastel drawing of a river in between fields of grass and trees. In the background are mountains and low clouds, looking like mist., Allan stephenson; River Meadows; pastel; 27x40; Feb. 1993, Allan Stephenson is an artist who draws his inspiration from the natural landscape particularly that of his native British Isles and also that of the Pacific Northwest where he now makes his home. *I am always looking for and attempting to communicate with the viewer that special sense of place that infuses some areas of the natural world with meaning, wonder and beauty. I hope my work can provide some escape from the sometimes frenetic world we all live in. I am a traditionalist. I don't see the art I produce as breaking any kind of new ground but rather I apply myself to existing forms and attempt to inject perhaps fresh content. I am currently enjoying the medium of pastel for it's direct hands-on quality that allows me to blend and sculpt the pigment using my fingers and hands rather than the intermediary of a brush.* (excerpt from artist's exhibition list), http://www.allanstephenson.com/index.php, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

Thin, red and purple lines create continuity across the composition., Frederick Heidel; Valley of Time; mixed media on paper; 47x37 inches; 1994; HeiF94092914, Former chairman of the art & architecture department and professor of art at Portland State University for over 25 years, Frederick Heidel is well known and respected for his work in glass and acrylic paintings. Throughout his career, Heidel has exhibited widely including major shows at the San Francisco Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, University of Oregon Art Museum, Smith/Anderson Gallery, Palo Alto, CA and Glasgalene Kuhler, Amsterdam, Holland. The artist has also been awarded numerous commissions and is included in many public and private collections. A painter, Heidel began working in glass in 1967 after receiving a Chapelbrook Foundation Grant to work in the glass factories in Holland. Since that time, the artist has traveled to the studios of Glassobjekte Van Tetterode to execute glass sculpture from drawings he has prepared in his Portland studio. The exploration of this medium has lead Heidel to create sculpture of painted light and the nuances of the colorful laminated glass harkens to the painterly and fluid surfaces of his paintings. Heidel's works on paper reflect the translucent quality of his glass sculpture.
