Area residents are invited to view original oils by Wendy Davis and original acrylics by George Throop at a special First Friday Art Walk reception in their honor on Friday from 5-8 p.m.
RedDoor Gallery in downtown Camas recently announced two new artists whose work is now on exhibit for show and sale. Area residents are invited to view original oils by Wendy Davis and original acrylics by George Throop at a special First Friday Art Walk reception in their honor on Friday (Dec. 6) from 5-8 p.m. The reception features complimentary refreshments, delicious charcuterie and RedDoor Gallery’s signature chocolate truffles with live music performed by Al Maier. Join the festivities! At 5pm, Downtown Camas lights up its official Christmas Tree in front of Liberty Theater.
Since opening in May, the art gallery, located in the historic building at 411 NE Dallas Street in downtown Camas, has featured new work each month by artists Sarah Bang, Shirley Bishop, Matthew Clarkson, Heidi Curley, Cheryl Folkers, Dave Garbot, Cheryl Mathieson, Liz Pike and Tamra Sheline. With the recent remodel of RedDoor’s new Mezzanine Gallery exhibition space, RedDoor Gallery is also representing acrylic artist Gail Harrington, oil painter Kimmie Burmaster and pastel artist Catherine Snyder. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 12pm to 7pm and by special appointment.
Accomplished acrylic artist George Throop’s paintings are a fusion of impressionism, abstract and realism. “I paint with a combination of artistic tools besides brushes including palette knives, hand rollers , spatulas and sponges,” said Throop, (pronounced Troop). While painting “Yellow Deep,” the left handed artist was drinking coffee from an old Krispy Kreme mug, wearing a black Jerseys style t-shirt speckled in multiple colors of paint. A prolific artist, Throop prefers to see his work out in the world as opposed to stacking up in his studio. “I’m offering a special 25% discount on “Yellow Deep” this month at RedDoor Gallery,” added Throop.

Award winning contemporary artist Wendy Davis is inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest as she paints in oils on canvas and wood. Her work includes figurative work as well as bold depictions of landscapes, painting both in her studio and also plein air. “I’m drawn to loose landscapes in my many plein air adventures, painting in direct method, while using larger brushes for the majority of my work”, said Davis. She is also known to cut, finish and prime her panel substrates, as well as manufacture her hand-crafted wood float frames for consistent gallery presentations. An expansive body of Davis’ work is now on exhibit in the mezzanine level at RedDoor Gallery.
