Yaquina Art Association Spotlight Show, Linda Devoy and Stephanie Adams May 25 – June 7, 2024
Linda Devoy’s Embellished Imagery –
Each of her pieces is thoughtfully handcrafted. She uses vintage and costume jewelry and sometimes shells and other natural objects to refashion them into new visual pieces framed into shadowboxes that are ready to enjoy. Each one is the result of a careful selection of colors, shapes, and textural forms. She often further accents her work with custom vinyl cuts and selected background which complement the theme. The result is unique sparkling images that emerge from designs of octopuses, mermaids, turtles, pets, horses, musical instruments, and the occasional Sasquatch.
Whether it is one of her pieces of framed art or a customized handbag, you will find her special playful, whimsical side in play. Linda is an active member of Yaquina Art Association
Stephanie Adams – Mixed Media Artist –
Stephanie considers herself a Mixed Media artist but her medium of choice is Epoxy Resin. Her process is called Resin Art and Acrylic Pouring. Both methods consist of using Acrylic Paints, Epoxy Resin and other colorful additives like Mica Powders and Dyes. It takes several steps and layers of resin to achieve her look. Stephanie uses unconventional tools to create her artwork instead of a traditional paint brush. She uses heat guns, culinary torches and hair dryers to name a few. You will also find natural materials such as driftwood, sand and agates, in Stephanie’s work. She also creates beautiful wood flower arrangements for your home.
Stephanie currently lives full time in the Alsea River Valley with my husband Jim. They enjoy the outdoors and the beautiful scenery that Oregon has to offer.
