Klamath Art Gallery Presents “A Slice Of Life”

Klamath Art Gallery Presents “A Slice Of Life” starting with the opening reception on Feb. 1st.  Join us, meet these three talented artists from Noon to 4pm while trying some of the KAA provided snacks.     

Sue Graves has enjoyed being a creative person her entire life. She was raised in Iowa and is the seventh of eleven children. Sue learned early on the value of family connections and traditions, but also the importance of individuality and self-expression. As a photographer, jeweler and assemblage artist, her creations reflect the wonders of nature, the exploration of design and color, and the desire to connect to the viewer in a meaningful or whimsical way. Depending on her inspiration, she employs a variety of materials such as beads, gifts of nature, found objects, photographs and semi-precious stones. She believes that every form of self-expression provides both the artist and the observer an opportunity to encounter beauty, curiosity, meaning and delight. Sue’s creations challenge us to look deeper beyond the everyday significance of the elements within the piece. Her work has been displayed at the Lava Lands Visitor Center, Silver Falls State Park, Ashland Mountain Supply and currently in Klamath Falls at The Ledge, A Leap of Taste, the Mermaid Garden Café, and the National Resources Conservation Services office.

TONY SWAN is an emerging artist/craftsman rediscovering his creative interests and talents upon retiring as a local school principal. His eclectic pin loom weavings are inspired by the visual beauty of nature while exploring the high desert in Klamath Falls, Cascade Mountains, Northwest Coast beaches, interior of Alaska, Sonoran Desert of Arizona, and most recently, India. His weavings combine pieces from nature with colors and textures from various types of yarn reflecting natural colors discovered outdoors.

Jeff Risher is a full-time teacher for Klamath Falls City Schools. Outside of teaching Jeff uses his time to connect with the natural world around him. He has a personal connection to nature that he expresses through his photography. From abstracts to wildlife Jeff is passionate about creative expression and bringing others into his world of fine art photography.

Klamath Art Gallery’s February Show “A Slice Of Life” runs from Feb. 1-22 Thursday – Sunday from Noon to 4pm.  We hope to see you there!
