MEDFORD, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Medford District Office is pleased to announce an art show focused around the three 2018 Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (CSNM) Artists in Residence.
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument Artists in Residence show will be on June 7, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Northwest Nature Shop in Ashland, Oregon: 154 Oak St, Ashland, OR 97520. This event is free and open to the public. The Cascade-Siskiyou Artists in Residence will include work from:
- Kim Faucher, a Medford resident, who developed an appreciation of nature while growing up in Northern California. Faucher enjoys watercolor, oil, acrylic, mixed media, and drawing, with experimentation as a constant. Kim was also the 2012 Artist in Resident at nearby Crater Lake National Park.
- Jeanine Moy, Director of the Vesper Meadow Education Program, who resides near the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and is a graduate of Southern Oregon University’s Masters in Environmental Education program. Their featured work will include a series of landscape oil paintings.
- Dave Atkinson, who represents the confluence of two musical families and grew up surrounded by songwriters, singers, and guitar players. Inspired by nature, Dave spends their days teaching science at a small public high school and playing music with family in northern California. Dave’s Band, Road West, draws from diverse musical influences, including: Jackson Browne, Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Grisman, and Pink Floyd.
