^{Hummingbird Tonic / Pam Sharp}

This February, the Gallery at the Park presents Wood, Wings, and the Wild Blue Yonder — an exciting exhibition exploring nature and the outdoors, featuring work from Terri Rice, Pam Sharp, and Leo Bowman.

Terri Rice

Terri Rice is a painter who focuses on skylines and landscapes. She took her first watercolor class at the University of Miami, but after teaching herself oil painting in 2015, she became so drawn to the intensity and permanence of oil paint that she seldom returns to watercolor.

Rice enjoys the slow-drying nature of oil paint, which allows her to come back later to blend in a new color or soften a line. Her goal is to paint with enough realism to portray a particular moment, but abstractly enough to invite the viewer’s own interpretation.

Pam Sharp

Pam Sharp is a watercolor and scratchboard artist who specializes in subjects like birds, horses, and other animals. She earned a degree in zoology from Washington State University, which laid the foundation for her detailed, nature-inspired artwork. She creates unique pieces that blend Pacific Rim cultural influences with Western flair.

Sharp participates in many events across the Western United States, and her work has been featured at venues like the Clymer Museum of Art, Wenaha Gallery, Charles Francis Studio, and Larson Gallery.

Leo Bowman

Leo Bowman is a woodturner whose passion for the art began in high school. In 1975, he was able to dedicate himself to woodworking, and begin refining his craft. He aims to emphasize the natural beauty of the material with his sculptures and turned wood pieces.

Bowman has exhibited at notable venues, including the Clymer Museum of Art and Hedges Family Estate, and during events like the Tour d’Arts on Red Mountain. He regularly participates in regional art festivals, such as the June Art Fest in Yakima.
