Gallery – Art On Oak – Hood River

Three artists exhibiting at Art On Oak exclusively create jewelry. Sarah Read @polokajewelry_sarahlizzie combines traditional silversmithing with precious metal clay to make her exquisite pieces; Christina Dauenhauer’s jewelry @growartcycle, often made with large stones, is bold and powerful; and Annette Ruckert & Robert Meichtry @mysticnomads find semi-precious stones through the world for their internationally inspired work. Come see their beautiful artistry at 210 Oak St., Hood River, OR, any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. “The friendliest gallery in the Gorge.” #jewelrylover #jewelry #jewelrydesigner #silversmithing #silversmithjewelry #preciousstones #semiprecioustones #internationaljewelry #worldtravelers #oregonartists #oregonart #hoodriver #hoodriveroregon #visithoodriver

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Nancy Houfek Brown @artistnancyhoufekbrown. Nancy’s stunning geometric landscapes of the Gorge fill the gallery with color. Her oil paintings, ranging in size from 6” X 6” to 48” X 48”, are made with layers and layers of thin paint to create the flat shapes that become her abstracted version of local sights. You may have seen her paintings at PDX @pdxairport where her large florals were exhibited in 2016/2017, or at Cathedral Ridge Winery @cathedralridgewinery where she has shown her work many times throughout the years, or during the Gorge Artists Open Studios Tour @gorgeartist when she has opened her home gallery and studio to art lovers. If you haven’t yet had a chance to watch the Emmy Award winning Oregon Art Beat @opbartbeat episode about her life and her process, please take the time to do it. And then come see her phenomenal art at Art On Oak, 210 Oak St., Hood River, OR, any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. “The friendliest gallery in the Gorge.” #columbiariver #columbiarivergorge #wildflowers #balsamroot #underwoodmountain #lavender #lavenderfarm #landscape #landscapepaintings #oilpaintings #fineart #abstractlandscape #artist #artwork #artcollector #artlovers #artgallery #artcurator #oregonart #oregonartist #upperleftliving #upperleftusa #hoodriver #hoodriverfruitloop #hoodriveroregon #visithoodriver
