Water, with its qualities of reflection, transparency and movement has been the focus of April Waters’ paintings Create for decades. When she is inspired by a place, she goes there often, in different seasons and on different times of the day. In most cases, she sketches or paints on site. Sometimes, she hires a helicopter pilot to fly her over the site to see what it is like from above. Equipped with sketches and Your her experiences, she then paints in her studio using oil on canvas or oil on panel. As she focused her painting on the rivers, creeks, estu- aries and coastlines of the Northwest, she became interested in water in a larger context. She traveled to meet, learn from and photograph contemporary women lead- Own ers who were making significant environmental contributions around water. After meeting each one, she paint- ed a large scale portrait to bring attention to their work. Her series of paintings of Dr. Helen Caldicott, Dr. Wan- gari Maathai, Dr. Vandana Shiva and Maude Barlow rep- Love resent women who are working, or who have worked, to protect the watersheds of the world and assure that fresh water remains available to all. She has been invited to exhibit her paintings at several conferences regarding women/and or the environment including ‘Women Reshaping the World’ sponsored by Story Living Futures. She was honored to speak and share her art at the Willamette River 2100 Conference sponsored by Oregon State University and in November, 2017 she was the artist in residence at the national conference of the American Water Resources Association. Waters has a Bachelor of Fine Art from University of Colorado, in Boulder and worked for many years as a Registered Nurse. Now her works are in many places of healing including Salem Hospital, the Hope Orthope- dic Clinic, the Slocum Orthopedic Clinic in Eugene, the PeaceHealth Medical Center in Springfield and the Ad- ventist Memorial Hospital of Portland. Paintings by Waters are also in the collections of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Oregon State University, Mount Angel Library, the Edward Allworth Veteran's Home and many others. Waters was selected as a Na- tional Park Artist-in-Residence for the Crater Lake Centennial Celebration and exhibition at the Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland. The painting Wizard Island, Crater Lake was exhibited at the American Embassy in Kyrgyzstan through the United States Arts in Embassies Program. Her painting, One Water is in the collection of the State of Oregon through the Percent For Art Program and is currently being exhibited at the Health and Well- ness Center of Western Oregon University. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions over the past thirty years including a one person show in the office of Oregon’s Governor. 503 364-8707 wilsonjewelers.com Page 10, Willamette in Bloom, Oneonta Creek, Columbia River Gorge, Oil on Canvas, 36 by 80" Oil on canvas, 38 by 56", Private Collection Tues-Fri, 10am-5:30pm, Sat 10am-3:30pm, 216 Commercial Street NE, Downtown Salem Collection of Salem Hospital, Salem, Oregon -12- -13- Reduce, Reuse & Reuse & Reuse, Then Recycle OREGON SURPLUS GIVES EX-GOVERNMENT MATERIALS A SECOND LIFE Free Earth Day Celebration

-16- -17- Salem Art Association Receives $36,955 from Grantors Supporting the Arts The Salem Art Association (SAA) continues to expand its reach in the community through the support of four generous grantors: Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Cultural Trust, Marion County Cultural Corporation, and William S. Walton Charitable Trust. Salem Art Association receives support from the Oregon Arts Commission, a state agency funded by the State of Oregon and the National Endowment for the Arts. Funding from the Or- egon Arts Commission has a significant impact in helping SAA provide diverse ongoing arts education and arts opportunities to improve the lives of all people in its three-county area. The Salem Art Association (SAA) received two grants from the Oregon Arts Commission:

A. An award of $15,054 from the Operat- ing Support Program provides operating support for SAA’s diverse arts services delivered through its core programming: three art gal- leries; arts education for thousands of youth, Artists in the Schools many from Title I schools; services to emerg- ing/professional artists; collaborations priori- tizing diversity, equity, inclusion; and the Salem Art Fair & Festival.

B. An award of $9,391 from the Arts Learn- ing Program provides support to help SAA evolve its Artist in the Schools programming to meet the current needs of schools experiencing limited time and resources to provide quality arts instruction for their students. Since 1984, the Artists in the Schools (AIS) program has been providing direct arts education services to K-12 students in the mid-Willamette Val- ley. Today, more schools struggle to bring arts learning to their students due to the loss of art instructors/coordinators and the increased class time focused on core curriculum requirements. Funds will help SAA, an experienced arts orga- nization, build a complete art curriculum mod- ule to guide schools through the entire process in providing their students with meaningful Arts and History Immersion Project arts instruction. SAA’s Arts & History Immersion Project has $8,510 from the Oregon Cultural Trust.

I am pleased to announce that the fourth edition of Gerry Frank’s Oregon is now available (published May 2018). This new edition has been completely updated with dozens and dozens of new listings. These entries are my recommendations for the best places to eat, sleep, play and relax in our great state. Find the best seafood shacks on the coast. Learn about a remote cattle ranch where you can dig for your own thundereggs (our state rock). From trendy bistros to historic lighthouses, from gleaming new hotels to log cabin hideouts, from county fairs and festivals to Willamette Valley wineries, brew pubs and unique retail stores – each place and ac- tivity I suggest (over 700 descriptive reviews) is worthy of your time and hard-earned dollars. No region of the state has been overlooked. Growing up in a “department store” family with roots in Oregon long before it was a state, I developed a certain savvy for retail salesmanship. I later spent a good part of my life as chief of staff to the late Sen- ator Mark Hatfield. Working together for a quarter century, we visited every corner of Oregon’s geography on constituent swings. For over 30 years now I have been writing for The Oregonian Travel Section, fur- thering my knowledge of Oregon’s nooks and crannies. It is these adventures and experiences – as well as the recommendations and memories of friends, colleagues and readers – that I drew upon to form the basis of Gerry Frank’s Oregon. And it has been a huge success. I have been over- whelmed by the positive response to the first three editions. I hope you enjoy this new edition as much as I did bringing it to you. Following are some vital statistics for the all new edition of Gerry Frank’s Oregon: Available: May 2018 ISBN: 978-1-879333-29-1 UPC: 858039003079 Detail: Approx. 500 pages, paperback 5.25” x 8.25”; hundreds of write-ups of Oregon’s treasures and most interesting places Gerry Frank • Retail Price: $19.95 (with significant discounts for Author & Publisher quantity orders – 40%, 50%, 55% off and more) Gerry’s Frankly Speaking, Inc. • 24 books per case P.O.

Salem architect Nathan Good wants you to understand something about human evolu- tion when considering his architecture. Na- than, an award-winning designer of custom homes, and his talented wife, artist April Wa- ters, recently completed work on their new Salem home, Altaview. Nathan’s thoughtful approach in creating their forever home re- flects both his personal and professional be- liefs, culminating in Altaview achieving the notable distinction of a LEED Platinum-Cer- tified rating by the U.S. Green Building Coun- cil. Their home is an homage to sustainability, practicality, and form – planned to the smallest detail; even their house number, 1859, didn’t escape his discerning eye, cho- sen because it marks the year of Oregon’s statehood. ...
