“Neologism” exhibition: Valerie Winterholler, June 2 to June 28 at High Desert Gallery. June 2, 2011

Come celebrate with us as we host “Neologism”, an exhibition of paintings by Central Oregon artist, Valerie Winterholler. The exhibition runs from June 2 through June 28, at High Desert Gallery's downtown Bend Oregon art gallery located at 10 NW Minnesota Avenue at The Oxford.

Valerie holds a BS in Art from Southern Oregon University located in the thriving art community of Ashland. Having studied with such teachers as Jim Romberg, Carol Barnes, Christina Acosta, Deanna Hanson, Marlene Alt and Jerry Seagle, she is now carving her own niche in the fine arts scene. As an emerging artist, her work is receiving numerous accolades and can be found in many private collections throughout the country including Nashville, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington State. She is inspired by the balance and symmetry of nature, using line and color as a way of conveying her love of things that are untouched by the constraints of society.
