5:30 Studio Tre Amiche (295 E 5th St)

Studio Tre Amiche has moved!! They are now at 295 W 5th St directly across from 5th Street Market. This wonderful new space is at street level with several windows, offering the artists marvelous daylight in a lively location. The studio is now in its 4th year in Eugene. It offers patrons a unique downtown opportunity to see artists' work spaces surrounded by completed paintings, etchings, monotypes, and drawings including new works by Patsy Hand, Kathryn Hutchinson, and Rogena Degge.

For the past ten years, Patsy has been visiting leading cities in Europe and the U.S. and been intrigued with the shadows and shapes of buildings and the energy thrown off by the mix of people and machines. She has recently created a series of interpretive mixed media works reflecting her love of these dynamics when thrown together.

The primary subject of Rogena's work for over 7 years has been of birds from many countries. Her interest has been mainly in portraying a bird's personality—in monotypes and etchings. More recently, she had been combining fluid and geometric forms that have resulted in what she perceives as landscapes. She has not abandoned her feathered friends, however.

Kathryn is continuing her development in the production of drypoint etchings and monotypes. Her subjects are varied and reflect her personal environment and refined draftsmanship. She has begun a new series of street scene etchings of Eugene and is at present showing a richly chromatic series of plant studies.

6:00 Out on a Limb (191 E Broadway)

Out on a Limb is a new gallery featuring the wood art of Tim Boyden, Urban Lumber and Drew Parrish. Nature is the big inspiration for their work; almost everything is created from locally salvaged and repurposed materials. Tim Boyden says, "I feel blessed to have so many beautiful trees pass through my hands, aren't trees simply amazing?" The guest artist this month is the wonderful fibers and ceramic artist Mari Livie.

6:30 Goldworks Jewelry Art Studio (169 E Broadway)

Goldworks Jewelry Art Studio presents "Accidental Landscapes: Abstracting Place and Process," mixed media work by Claudia Sims. Wine Tastings provided by Sineann Winery.

7:00 Olive Grand (1041 Willamette St)

Olive Grand features seven artists in the show "The Many Shades of Red/Passion, Love, Romance." Anne McRae specializes in travel photography, which you can see online. Karen Russo shows paintings and tile work. Rachel McLain displays her photography, through which she aims to highlight tiny details and small beauties that the average passerby would miss. Micaela Russo also shows photography, stating that "This series of photographs shares my fascination with people and place: I find I am most inspired and engaged when immersing myself in new cultures, talking with people and learning about their different approaches to life." Janan Dean has been knitting and felting wool for a few years and will be showing some of her creations. Cecile Haworth presses lace into moist clay to obtain her designs for jewelry, ornaments and wall hangings. The porcelain clay is first bisque fired at a low temperature, then medium fired with stainsand glazes, and finally fired extremely low with a 22–karat gold over–glaze. Tricia Clark–McDowell is a local watercolor artist and photographer whose work is inspired by living on the 22 acre Cortesia Sanctuary. She depicts the mystical beauty, passion, and luminosity of wild nature as experienced on an isolated ridgetop in the South Hills of Eugene.

Music will be provided by "Red Wing Band" of Eugene, red wine by "In Vitis Wines," Italian Chocolates by "Brutto ma Buono Cioccolato," and olive oil bar samples by Olive Grand.

7:30 NEST (1235 Willamette)

NEST features the wonderful jewelry by Alice McDonald. Alice specializes in creating unique wire necklaces designed and embellished with exquisite pearls, stones, and glass seed beads. Alice's motto, "Adornments for the Shining Ones," sums up Alice's passion for making the world a more beautiful, peaceful, and shining place, one work of art at a time. Alice sells her work at NEST, as well as at fine art shows and festivals around the Pacific Northwest.

In addition, these galleries and venues will also be open during the ArtWalk from 5:30–8 pm on February 3rd:
