Yaquina Art Gallery Pedestal Spotlight Show featuring the artwork of Mary Young–May 19th to May 31st
In a two week Pedestal Spotlight Show from May 19th to May 31st, the Yaquina Art Association will be featuring the artwork of fused glass artist Mary Young . The 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, then Yaquina Art Association summer hours of 11 am to 5 pm begin on Memorial Day (May 28th) and end on Labor Day.
Mary Young has been creating fused glass art for eleven years. The constant surprises, playing with color, and making happy things are the best part of glass projects. The interest in glass started with her Father, who bought a kiln to experiment with. It just took off from there: exploring, trying new techniques, and just playing around.
Mary has lived in Newport for twelve years. She grew up in Seattle, WA and lived in Portland, OR. before moving to the beautiful Oregon Coast. She has been a member of the Yaquina Art Association since 2007. Right now she is currently involved in displaying all the 3-D art in the Yaquina Art Gallery, and has served as Treasurer for the past few years. It is very important and fulfilling for her to give back to a wonderful organization like YAA.
Under the name Whimsy Art Glass, Mary sells her glass work in the Newport Farmer’s Market, the Lincoln City Farmer’s Market, and the Winter Market at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. Her artwork is can also be found in the Itinerant Artists Marketplace at the Outlet Mall in Lincoln City.
