Yaquina Art Gallery Spotlight Wall Show featuring the artwork of Sarah Hawklyn and Gloria Romanelli – December 3rd to December 16th
In a two-week Spotlight Pedestal Show from December 3rd to December 16th, the Yaquina Art Association will be featuring the artwork of Sarah Hawklyn and Gloria Romanelli. 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.
Sarah Hawklyn’s art journey began very early, with the opportunity to investigate many techniques, using varied media, under the tutelage of Israeli artist Sahara Sandow. Ultimately this type of learning helped to develop an eye for creativity and the confidence to try new
experiences.
The artistic path took a sidetrack in High School and fell down the rabbit hole of science, coming out the end as a veterinarian for over 30 years. During that time Sarah continued her love of multimedia, glass work, such as stained glass, lamp work and fusion glass, as well as silver smithing, beading and lapidary.
Retirement from veterinary practice freed enough time to pursue a whole new set of creative skills. Oil painting began as the favorite, but recently watercolor and experimentation with clay, both polymer and ceramic, have been added to the list. Who knows what lies over the horizon for Sarah’s journey now, but I can tell you she will always be ready to learn more.
Gloria Romanelli is a self-taught oil painter from Lincoln City, Oregon. She has been a member of the Yaquina Art Association for 3 years and volunteers a lot of her time keeping the gallery looking beautiful.
