YAQUINA ART GALLERY SPOTLIGHT FEATURES Mark Svendsen & Deborah Marsh April 27 – May 10 2024
Local artists, Mark Svendsen & Deborah Marsh, will share a two week spotlight show at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, opening this April 27, 2024
Photographer, Mark Svendsen, has won numerous awards for his landscape and wildlife photography in Northwest regional competitions, and has a concurrent show of portraits taken in Afghanistan in the 1970s on display in the Newport Performing Arts Center. He has been taking pictures his entire adult life, but credits membership in the Newport-based Yaquina Arts Association Photographers (YAAP) photo club with sharply expanding and deepening his store of photographic and creative skills.
In addition to coastal depictions, the show will feature images of wildlife from the Everglades and Yellowstone ecosystems. It highlights images of three Native American dancers from the 2023 Siletz Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow.
Deborah Marsh has been doing her art for several years and has been enjoying our free watercolor classes and this will be her first show in our gallery. We welcome both Deborah and Mark to the gallery and hope you will also.
Yaquina Art Association Gallery is located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive.
Hours of operation are 11 am to 4 pm every day.
