Art in the Spotlight

Nature photographer Michael Carr and watercolor painter and ceramicist Cassandra Brandt will share a two-week spotlight show at Newport’s Yaquina Art Association Gallery, opening this Saturday, June 24, and running through July 7.

Carr, a photographer for more than 42 years, creates stunning, nature-based photographic images. His work features scenery and wildlife in their natural environments and has been shown in hundreds of newspapers and magazines.

Brandt creates engaging, nature-themed images on ceramic surfaces and watercolors. Her work reflects a sense of fun and her attraction to natural objects she can personally interact with, including crabs and birds on the wing.

Both artists live full-time in Lincoln County.

The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is located at 789 NW Beach Drive in Newport and is open daily from 11 am to 5 pm. For more information, go to yaquinaart.org.
