Do you have an eye for art?
In a two-week Spotlight Pedestal Show starting this Saturday, Dec. 3, the Yaquina Art Association will be featuring the artwork of Sarah Hawklyn and Gloria Romanelli.
Hawklyn’s art journey began very early, exploring mixed-media under the tutelage of Israeli artist Sahara Sandow. Her artistic path took a sidetrack in high school and fell down the rabbit hole of science, resulting in working as a veterinarian for more than 30 years. During that time, she continued her love of multimedia, exploring glass work, such as stained glass, lamp work and fusion glass, as well as silversmithing, beading and lapidary.
Retirement from veterinary practice freed enough time to pursue a whole new set of creative skills, including oil painting, watercolor and experimentation with clay, both polymer and ceramic.
Romanelli is a self-taught oil painter from Lincoln City. She has been a member of the association for three years and volunteers a lot of time helping to keep the gallery looking beautiful.
The show will run through Friday, Dec. 16, at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery, located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive. Hours of operation are 11 am to 4 pm every day. For more information, go to yaquinaart.org.
