Yaquina Art Gallery Spotlight features: Beverly Peterson & Graece Gabriel March 16-29
Beverly Stevens Peterson has been a member of Yaquina Art Association since moving to Newport in 2019, and the YAA Photographers (YAAP) group since 2022. Though always interested in art and design, she didn’t begin studies until later in life. Currently she participates in YAA classes in watercolor, pastels, and drawing, and YAAP meetings and monthly competitions. Bev hopes others will connect with something in her pieces and see something new or unique to them. Her show includes photographs, watercolors, and pastels in her favorite subjects of birds, landscapes, and nature.
Graece Gabriel’s fine art photography often features local birds and seascapes with surprising intensity and vividness. This show has a variety of views of brown pelicans and crows. Ms. Gabriel lives in Otter Rock and finds many of her subjects close to her home here on the central Oregon coast. The artist will be in the gallery several days during her two week show and invites you share your comments.
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. Interested in becoming a member of the Yaquina Art Association? We offer free classes in watercolor, pastel and acrylic. Please visit our gallery in Nye Beach for more information. YAA has been serving over 135 local artists for over 76 years.
