Jeanney McArthur, a Sherman County native, is
re-emerging as an artist after a 20-something-year hiatus. Her work is
featured at the Sherman County Historical Museum during October, the last of
six monthly shows by local artists and artisans.
McArthur earned a Bachelors of Science in Art from
Western Oregon University (then Oregon College of Education). The summer of
2000 was a turning point in her life, when her interest in graphic design
waned and her passion for fine art expressions re-ignited. She currently
works in a variety of media -- watercolor, charcoal, pastel, acrylics,
collage and monotypes. Her subject matter is organic in nature -- the human
figure, plants, landscapes -- and her modus operandi is "exploration
and discovery."
Museum visitors may view this show until the end of
October when the Museum closes for the winter. The Museum's new interpretive
exhibit, Cultivation, Conservation and Clothespins, is nearly
complete and is open to the public! The Museum Store features mugs and
tee-shirts bearing the Pat Jacobsen's Wall of History design in City Park.
Moro's fine new streetscape and the Museum's
re-installed Visitor Information Kiosk site enhance a visit, as do stops in
local shops! Visit Sherman County! Open daily from ten until five, the
Museum in downtown Moro is reached by phoning 541-565-3232.
