Oil Painter
Inspired by the Impressionists, Raina beautifully captures the unique landscapes of the American West, forging a deep connection between the spirit of the land and humanity. Her artwork explores the sacredness of the earth. Each piece acts as a vessel Reflecting the raw, rugged, and genuine aspects of life, nature, and humanity.
sheila Dunn
Oil Painter
Sheila explores the fluid relationship between figure and environment: how each continuously informs and affects the other.
This exploration is apparent in her technical approach to the work: fractal brushstrokes of the figure extend into the environment while traces of the environment always remain present within the figure.

Taylor Manoles
Taylor has been creating things for as long as she can remember; drawing horses, combing through piles of coloring books, always begging her mom for a new craft. When she was 18, her Aunt Sue, who is also a painter, bought Taylor her first set of oil paints and gave her a proper lesson. They painted a yellow rose, a simple yet defining moment in her life.
In college Taylor pursued other avenues, math, teaching, music, until finally giving her heart to painting.
Taylor was raised in Arizona, then Minnesota, and received her B.S. in Art Education from North Dakota State University in 2017. She began her practice in oil paints and has never looked back. Taylor works from pictures that she captures on her adventures, but feel most alive painting on location.

Randy Redfield
For many in Central Oregon, Randy's work needs little introduction. A fifth-generation Oregonian and Sisters resident since 1979, he has spent decades creating art that reflects the landscapes, colors, and spirit of the West. His paintings carry a deep sense of place, shaped by a lifetime of observing and living within the region he calls home.
Randy studied painting at both Portland State University and the University of Oregon, where he worked with renowned artists Frank Okada, LaVerne Krause, and Ralph Baker. After completing his studies, he established a studio in downtown Portland and quickly gained recognition, including selection for the prestigious Artists of Oregon painting and sculpture exhibition at the Portland Art Museum in 1975.
His artistic journey later took him abroad, where he traveled through Europe and spent time living and working in Guadalajara, Mexico. Returning to Oregon, Randy eventually settled in Central Oregon, building both a home and studio where he has continued creating for decades.
Many locals also know Randy through Kibak Tile, the distinctive line of handcrafted tiles and vessels he produced for many years. Those pieces became widely collected throughout the region and remain an important part of his artistic legacy. In later years, Randy returned his focus to painting, creating works on canvas and large-format wood panels that have been exhibited in galleries throughout Bend and beyond. In 2013, he was selected by the Oregon Arts Commission for a solo exhibition at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem.
