“Near and Far”

New art exhibit at the Nancy McGrath Green Gallery at Sunriver Christian Fellowship

Reception is 11:30 a.m. Sunday, July 7

The Nancy McGrath Green Gallery, located in Sunriver Christian Fellowship, is delighted to welcome back Central Oregon’s High Desert Art League. The HDAL was the first group of artists to hold an exhibit of their fine art and photography when the gallery opened in February of 2023.

This summer’s show, “Near and Far” opens the beginning of July and remains up until the end of September. As vacationers are exploring during the summer months, HDAL artists will exhibit their work depicting some of their favorite places. Expect to see local scenes that are “near” and dear as well as more exotic places we only dream about visiting. And as you might expect, these creative artists might throw in a “far” out abstract or an innermost personal story of their own. Please come and see for yourself at the artist’s gallery reception on Sunday, July 7 at 11:30 a.m. at Sunriver Christian Fellowship, 18139 Cottonwood Road in Sunriver. Refreshments will be served.

The exhibit will display works in watercolor, oil, acrylic, encaustic, pastel and photography by the 13-member group comprised of Helen Brown, Pamela Beaverson, Barbara Cella, Jan Dow, Janet Frost, Liz Haberman, Michelle Lindblom, Jean Lubin, Karen Maier, Jacqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes and Joren Traveller.

The public can view the show weekdays from 2-4 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 1 p.m., following the 10 a.m. worship service. If you have questions, please email the gallery at

McGrath.Green.Gallery@gmail.com.
