Featured Art for August 4 - Sept. 6
"Mosaic Pointillism" Featured Guest Artist: Sky Evans Sky Evans has been painting for 50 years as well as being an avid hiker and horsewoman with thousands of miles of trail experience. Back in her studio, inspired by the wilderness and woods, she recreates her experiences in oil and canvas. Her most recent work has been influenced by mosaic tile work, Van Gogh and the pointillism of Seurat. “This new style came to me 2 ½ years ago and has developed into something exciting and different. The paintings are a pixelated expression of color that make up a completed vision of the subject. I call the style, Mosaic Pointillism, as the gray underpainting works like grout between the individual dabs of color. Rather than blending or using translucent glazes, I use small brushstrokes and allow the color to stand alone. It is up to the viewer to put the image back together.”
With a BS in Art from OSU and one in Education from WOS, Sky worked as an Art teacher, education specialist and later started her own painting company. Commercially, she has painted mural art on walls, floors and even a 100-foot-long roof. She created many artistic signs as well as painting the label image for the award-winning Bluebird Hill wine.
The murals throughout the town of Monroe have all been created by Sky, some with local students as part of an after-school art program she developed. With many of her pieces in private collections, stores and galleries, Sky also travels to art fairs and festivals throughout the PNW. Closer to home, you can see her at the 2026 Salem Art Festival and Corvallis Fall Festival in September.
“Painting for me is an expression of myself and my connection to a deeper reality; as I work, I allow that spirit to flow out and am frequently surprised by the inspirational results. I believe I am merely the conduit for the finished piece. I paint what I love and what interests me visually. Nature, birds and animals have always spoke directly to my heart and so, find themselves on my canvas as well as my soul.”
