Mary Lou Stebbins, or Stebbinzoo, specializes in vibrant paintings of everyday scenes infused with hints of sweetness and magic. Inspired by a life teaching and raising children on the Oregon Coast, her work is filled with youth, dogs and exploration. Stebbins art has been featured in the Expressions West Exhibit at Coos Art Museum, and select pieces can be viewed at Easy Lane Art Gallery. Included in the show will be several new originals, as well pieces shared from private collections.

Bryan Coleman's photography of the Southern Oregon Coast is only just beginning to gain its well-earned recognition. A lifelong resident of Coos County, Coleman finds and captures the beauty in tiny, simple things.  A feather on the beach, or a glimpse of a gull through seagrass becomes a timeless image of the beauty surrounding the viewer. Photos of the boats and buildings of Coos County are simple and profound. Coleman's photography can be viewed at Shark Bites Cafe and Seven Devils Brewery.  

Black Market Gourmet specializes in high-quality, nutritious and exotic gourmet offerings.  Proprietor Jardin Kazaar, of "Cooking With Jardin"  believes in nurture by nourishing. His line of sauces and spice rubs can be found at stores and eateries up and down the coast. Along with Kristin Hoefer, Jardin is a great supporter of Oregon Arts.

This event will be an exciting showcase of Coos County talent, and well worth a stop.  The opening reception is at 2:00 pm on Sunday, March 2nd.
