Art From The Heart













Come see our artists

Featured in a Special Exhibit:

"Hearts and Vessels"

Emerald Art Center
500 Main Street
Springfield, Oregon 97477
541.726.8595

Sharon and Laura Joy are founding members of ORA: Northwest Jewish Artists.

Sharon, who works in bright acrylics, loves to experiment with color. She watches the way two colors vibrate against each other to create passion in her pictures of hearts, animals and places.

Laura Joy creates 3-D vessels out of fabrics. She will present contemporary fiber art vessels, and sculptures showing numerous types of expression through fabric. "Discovering new techniques and applications is the excitement that thrills me," she says.

Sharon and Laura Joy have been close friends for 25 years. They met when Sharon asked Laura to teach her how to make hallah. Well, they had plenty of opportunity to develop a friendship while the hallah was rising.

How did they find the Emerald Art Center in Springfield? Sharon took a class at this charming Art School. The director noticed her ORA website on her e-mail and checked out her work. One thing led to another, and they're showing their work in September.

The exhibit is called "Hearts and Vessels" and it runs from August 31st to September 24th. The reception will be Friday, September 10th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
