YAQUINA ART ASSOCIATION ARTIST SHOWCASE July 6-19, 2024 Two Generations, Plus One, is a family that loves to draw and paint.
The Matriarch is Shirley Steinhauer. She is an accomplished watercolorist and has been a proud member of Yaquina Art Association since 1985, serving as president for a number of years, also. She is a lifetime member of the YAA board, and is currently teaching watercolor classes at Newport Senior Center. Along with watercolor, she enjoys using colored pencils, pen/ink and other mediums as well. Shirley started her art career in 1975, taking drawing classes and other workshops.
Karen Robnett, Shirley’s daughter-number-one, teaches drawing and colored pencil classes at the Senior Center, as well as at YAA. She has always loved drawing and excels in many mediums.
Linda Evans, Shirley’s second daughter, started drawing after she retired, about a year and a half ago. Her favorite mediums are graphite, charcoal, and pastels. She also enjoys plein air drawing and loves attending her sister’s classes.
The “Plus One”, is Karen Robnett’s granddaughter, Raelee Robnett Flickinger. She is 8 years old and loves to draw. At 7 years old, Raelee created a self portrait, which was chosen to be displayed at an Art Exhibit at Western Oregon University. Now, the portrait will be part of this gallery showcase, as well as other creations by this talented young girl and her family.
