Gift ideas are plentiful at the Artists Gallery in The Village at Sunriver.  What better way to surprise your friends and family than with a unique gift made by local artists?  You may stop in for a quick and pleasant visit to get shopping business completed or make your visit something special.   The Village is home to many “one of a kind” shops and restaurants.  The most fun would be to visit the Gallery for the Second Saturday event on Saturday, December 14 from 4-6pm.  As if beer, wine, and refreshments and the company of the Gallery’s artists isn’t enough for a great evening, visitors will also be treated to a performance by The Bells of Sunriver.  What a great “gift” to visitors to enjoy the holiday season.

 

The Gallery offers a wide variety in selection and pricing for gifts.  Stained glass artist, Becky Henson, offers glass art pieces from small to large.  Her holiday ornaments make for a treasured memory each year that they are hung on the tree.

 

Bonnie Junell, talented painter, offers paintings that capture the spirit of the season.  Junell has produced some smaller pieces that are perfect gifts – especially for recipients that enjoy time in the mountains or snow sports.

 

Because the holidays are often a time for recognizing a special someone,  jewelry artist, Karla Proud, has produced some exquisite jewelry pieces that will make someone’s eyes shine.  One of the many colors of the Oregon Sunstone is a brilliant red.

 

Photographer Richard Bacon captures the beauty of Central Oregon in his pieces so that it can be given as a gift to someone that is special.  Perhaps a large wall piece is just what you are looking for or maybe a smaller piece to set on a table or desk will help your special someone remember a moment.

 

Watercolor artist Deni Porter has painted up some special scenes for the holidays.  One is available in a holiday card that will make even the grumpiest Scrooge smile when they receive it.  There may still be time for a quick turn around on a painting of a special pet or a gift certificate for a pet portrait is always appreciated.

 

Painter Bill Hamilton has provided multiple pieces that help the season shine.  Who can resist jolly old Saint Nick?  Original paintings are a great gift, but high-quality prints make fine art available to all.

 

Dottie Moniz captures the essence of the winter holidays with her paintings of nature.  Her textural style adds an extra dimension to her paintings.

 

Painter and ceramics artist Marjorie Cossairt  just hung up some beautiful ceramic holiday ornaments.  These pieces will sell quickly and perhaps end up in the home of the person that made the purchase because they just couldn’t let it go!

 

And if all else fails, the Gallery offers gift certificates!
