Debra Aken
Drawing, painting, and almost any kind of visual art have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I drew constantly as a kid, filling up every blank sheet of paper in the house, so it was no surprise when I chose to study art in college.
I attended Ilinois State University in 1971 as a comprehensive Art Education major. I graduated in 1975 and began my career teaching art in several small rural communities in central Illinois in 1976. I remained there until my husband and I decided to make the move to beautiful Oregon in 1981. I pursued my master’s in Art Education at The University of Oregon. During the next few years, I taught community education art classes, as well as completed my master’s degree. I began a full-time position teaching art to 1st graders through high school in 1987. It was an awesome experience. Several years later, I moved to a 9 through 12th-grade position from which I retired in 2011. As the sole art teacher in the high school, I taught nearly all media. My curriculum included drawing, multi-media, painting, pottery, printmaking, and a variety of crafts. Now that I am retired, I work primarily in two-dimensional media. I paint in watercolor, acrylics, and pastels, and draw in just about any medium. I love printmaking techniques, including block printing and monoprints. Recently, I have been experimenting with mixed media montage, using my own printed papers, dried flowers, and various collected materials. My inspiration comes from the natural world, especially trees, and images from our travels around the world.
I loved teaching art and felt so lucky to be able to enjoy this career for 29 years, but now we find ourselves in this wonderful place, Yachats, where I have plenty of time to be as creative and productive as I choose to be. We had always dreamed of retiring in Yachats, a place that felt right for us.
Anita Sue Andrews, Acrylics
Painting and writing have been the driving forces in my life from a young age. The wonder of capturing the beauty of the world around me on canvas or paper never gets old. The ability to share the world as I see it with others delights me.
Donna Bader, Photographer
Donna Bader is a fine arts photographer living in Yachats, Oregon. She loves landscapes and street photography. She first became interested in photography when her parents gave her a Kodak Brownie! To encourage Donna’s interest in this new hobby, her father built a darkroom in the garage of their home in San Diego and watched as his young daughter played in the dark with chemicals.
Her interest in photography is intertwined with her love of travel. At first, Donna saw it as a way to preserve memories of the places she had seen. But she wanted to impart a deeper meaning to her photography. Coupled with her love of writing, she began to explore photography in a new way, as a means of telling stories. Photography has become her eyes to the world and a voice of what she has experienced.
Donna has exhibited at galleries in Laguna Beach, California, including Forest & Ocean Gallery and Mystic Arts, as well as SusiQ, the senior center in Laguna Beach. A one-person exhibit of her work was held in 2008 at Chapman University, School of Law in Orange, California. She was a regular participant at the local Laguna Craft Guild, which is held bi-monthly when the Festivals are not operating. Donna has juried into shows, including the Malibu Art Festival, the La Jolla Art Festival, and the San Francisco Craftwomen’s Festival.
She has won numerous awards for her photography, including First and Second Prizes, at the Art Show of the California State Bar Convention for several years. Donna can be reached at (949) 494-7455 or Donna@DonnaBader.com. Her portfolio can be viewed at PhotosbyDonna.smugmug.com. Her work is currently exhibited at The Laughing Crab Gallery in Yachats, California.

Dave Baldwin
Dave Baldwin first became interested in art while studying scientific illustration under Donald B. Sayner at the University of Arizona in the 1960s. By the 1980s he had moved from realism to experimenting with abstraction. Subsequently, he built figurative abstractions with alkyd, oil, watercolor, and acrylic paints, then added sand, metallic leaf, wax, glass, and various fabrics for textural effects. His solo exhibition venues include the galleries of Vanderbilt and Emory Universities, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, the Thousand Oaks (CA) Civic Arts Plaza, and the Grants Pass (OR) Museum of Art. His work has been featured in Scientific American, Sports Illustrated, and Graphic Review, and is included in the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, NY. His painting, “Fugue for the Pepper Players”, was featured in Treasures of the Baseball Hall of Fame by John Thorn (1998). Also, Dave taught “Science and Art” at the Art Institute of California in San Diego. He is a founding member of the Yachats Arts Guild.
Carol Cassidy, Watercolors
Carol is a scientific illustrator and fine artist who works primarily in watercolor. She moved to Waldport, Oregon three years ago after retiring from teaching Graphic Design at the State University of NY. Carol’s career has included working with a cartoonist, being a staff illustrator for both a marine research center and a nuclear research center, a designer for a cosmetics company, medical illustrating, teaching, and running her own graphics studio. Carol has been in various exhibitions nationwide and recently completed a mural for the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
Melinda Fellini, Oil
Creating art that encourages contemplation and reflection is an integral part of my work. My paintings are momentary windows through which to enter a place of daydreaming. This was my response to art when I was very young and my own art naturally reflects this.
The impact of color is endlessly fascinating. I am continually looking for new color combinations to push and pull the senses. Nature is also a consistent theme in my work no matter how abstract the work may appear.
Works can be found locally at Earthworks Gallery, Yachats, and the artist’s studio. You can also find more of her work at Xanadu Gallery and the Lawrence Gallery.
Burgundy Featherkile
Burgundy Featherkile has been painting and drawing for over forty years. In San Diego, she worked closely with master wildlife and landscape artist Maureen Manar in the 1980s and 90s. Working in oil and acrylics, she developed a unique, vibrant style of abstraction. Her paintings were shown in numerous juried exhibitions of the San Diego Art Institute (1987 through 1991), as well as the 15th National Juried Exhibition of the North Valley Art League, Redding, CA 1999.
In later years she developed chemical sensitivities and had to abandon both oil and acrylics. After a brief hiatus, Burgundy resumed drawing, using wax-based pencils. For some years, she collaborated with her husband David Baldwin on a series of whimsical drawings of abstract trees, faces, and humorous animals. The series is presented under the pseudonym of DGB Featherkile.
More recently, Burgundy has resumed creating her unique and intensely colorful abstracts using a medium that is more forgiving of aging hands and does not affect her allergies, Photoshop.
Burgundy Featherkile is also known locally as the producer and director of the intentionally horrible full-length movie, The Ghoul from the Tidal Pool a spoof of the worst of the 1950s horror movies. The cast of Ghoul included a large proportion of the population of the village of Yachats and visitors. An overview of Ghoul can be found on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
Chuck Franklin, Stained Glass
Chuck Franklin began working in stained glass in Portland in 1974. Specializing in commission work, he created residential, commercial, and religious art with a studio that – at its peak – had 20 full-time employees. Their work can be seen across the country in public art spaces, including several restaurant chains, casinos, churches, and businesses. Public art in Oregon includes stained glass at the libraries in Lebanon and Sweet Home, as well as the Beaverton City Hall.
In 2002, Franklin was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat, and in 2008 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Art Glass Association of America. In 2015 he retired from the Portland Studio, and he and his wife moved to Waldport, Oregon. Since moving to the Oregon coast, Chuck has continued to create one-of-a-kind pieces, working closely with clients to bring color and beauty into their spaces. He maintains a small studio where he creates works of art for galleries, shows, and selected commissions.
“The combination of color, line, and light was always appealing to me, both from an artistic and technical standpoint,” said Franklin. “Since retiring to the coast, I’ve found that the ocean and the beach have had an influence on my work, both in designs and materials used. I’ve also found that, even in retirement, the joy of painting with glass has never left me.”
Claire Good, Oils, Acrylics, Watercolors
Claire Good retired to the Central Oregon Coast at the end of 2001. After she settled into her home in Waldport she fulfilled her promise to return to painting after 30 years of a career in the computer industry. Claire is a local award-winning artist who has studied oil painting with several artists in California and recently studied acrylic and watercolor painting here on the Coast. Many of her oil, acrylic, and watercolor pieces have been displayed in local shows, galleries, libraries, and other locations. She has donated several pieces of her work to the Seal Rock Garden Club for their annual raffle and to fundraisers such as the Yachats Presbyterian Church and other local non-profits. Painting is her passion.
Ginger Gouevia
For many years my art was expressed with the camera. My photographic joy was looking through the lens, capturing emotion, and creating an image that connected with other observers. A few years ago I transitioned to acrylic painting because it was the process of creating the image that gave me inspiration. I soon realized that it was the play of colors and design that inspired me. Abstracts called me! Getting lost in the process of creation brings me joy. Many of my paintings consist of layers of color in an attempt to capture emotion from within.

I’m a transplant to the west coast by way of Long Island NY, where I was a high school librarian for two decades. All my life I’ve been drawn to photographs and illustrations of America from the 1920s thru the 1960s found in magazines, postcards, travel guides, maps, nature guides, textbooks, and the like. I’ve been a collector of vintage ephemera for over thirty years and brought bundles of that bounty with me on my journey west. Once here, I knew I wanted to do something with my collection (and add to it, as well), so I began creating hand-cut collages from images that scratched a nostalgic itch. By layering and containing these images within a visual storytelling frame, often within a vintage book or old box, I create curious portals in time that transport the viewer to a surreal, yet familiar place. Won’t you join me on my journey?
Gretchen Milhaupt
A third-generation Californian, Gretchen Milhaupt was born in San Mateo in 1944.
She began life with a scar on her left eye, allowing that eye to see only blurs of color. Her vision impairment was not discovered until she was nine years old. This handicap, combined with the natural vividness of California light, developed in Gretchen a pronounced love and understanding of color and formed the unique vision evident in her painting today.
She grew up with an eager interest in fine art and wanted to attend art school, but her father did not support this. She became an early 1960s dropout in Eugene, Oregon. In 1968 she gave birth to her son, Rainbow, now known as Bo. Later, she married a much older and well-known Eugene photographer and lived as his spouse and workmate for over a decade. During these years she learned the basics of composition, color, and content that would eventually shape her own painting. This was also the 1970s, a vibrant and tumultuous time to live an artist’s life in a progressive Oregon town.
Widowed at age 35, Gretchen traveled alone to Japan, living in Kyoto for three years where she pursued her interest in Japanese art. She found creative inspiration at the world-famous Zen rock garden Ryuanji, and from the kimono textiles, she later sold to West Coast collectors.
In 1991 Gretchen arrived in Portland with a mission to become serious about painting. She spent three years drawing from the figure and was greatly influenced by life drawing classes with Phil Sylvester.
In 1994 Gretchen lost her day job as a real estate appraiser and worried about how she would continue to support her growing need to paint. Her brother, Charles, a movie producer, and New York City executive observed her talent and drive and offered to send her to art school. Gretchen attended the esteemed Pacific Northwest College of Art and found tutelage under Portland artists Arvie Smith, Tom Fawkes, Tom Cramer, and Joseph Mann, and graduated in May 2000 with a BFA in Painting. She took her junior year “abroad” in New York City, participating in the New York Studio Program for one semester and attending Parson’s School of Design in the Fine Arts Department for another semester.
Gretchen has exhibited and sold her work since 1997. Her subjects include Zen rocks, flowers, portraits, figurative scenes, and more. Her art reflects the subjects and objects that have influenced her colorful life: Northwest landscapes and seascapes, human psychology, racism, gender, sexual relationships, and other social issues of our day.
After joining the Waldport Wednesday Market in 2021, Gretchen started painting Pacific fish on recycled scrap wood. This has proved to be a popular item for locals and tourists too.
Sherry Secreast, Jewelry
I’ve been creating some form of jewelry art for over 30 years now. I first started out doing beadwork, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets using seed beads. I’ve had them in shops in Portland Oregon. I’ve been collecting beads for that long as well and there are lots of vintage beads in my work. Beads are like paints to me that can bedazzle and sparkle up my creations.
Years later I saw this upcycled, altered, repurposed style of work and I gravitated toward that. I liked the concept of gathering different pieces to reuse in my jewelry. I think that’s a good way to give back to the environment as well as keep them out of the landfill. I’ve been collecting my materials from antique malls, thrift stores, garage sales, craft shops, and friends for my jewelry making. I admire the beauty of vintage items and this is a great way to bring them back to life.
I am always looking for new discoveries in other mediums to transform my art and recently I’ve come across polymer clay and have now been learning how to use that in my works. Learning new mediums just continues to breathe new life into my work.
I have my work in a number of galleries including Laughing Crab Gallery in Florence, Oregon, River Gallery in Independence Oregon, Yaquina Art Association Gallery in Nye Beach, and Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport. I’ve also done different art shows over the years as it’s a great way to meet your customers in person and get face-to-face feedback. I am also familiar with doing online sales. Visit my Etsy shop.
Lori Stevens
Lori Stevens taught art and English in public secondary classrooms for 32 years before returning to California University at Chico for her master’s in art education. In 2014, she continued employment with the university as a supervisor for young student teachers, primarily in the arts. She continues to be passionate about everything education, art, and social justice.
Lori’s work ranges from realism to abstraction, with digressions and explorations of various approaches and concepts in between as they present themselves, this approach being informed by the decades spent in classrooms. Mixed media on canvas, paper, or plywood is the flavor of the year, typically including graphite drawing and abundant mark-making. Much of her work is infused with both story and feminism, providing a basis for interpretation by artist and viewer.

Janette Square, Intarsia Woodworking
Janette Square is an accomplished, internationally recognized intarsia artist who, after living in Eugene, Oregon for 20 years, now resides in Yachats on the Oregon coast. She began using wood as an artistic medium around 1999. The natural color and grain of the wood are the perfect medium for creating colorful and realistic pieces based on nature. She has a unique gift of being able to create, from a photograph – first a pattern, then a finished piece of intarsia artwork. Custom pieces, including pet portraits, are her specialty. She has created custom pieces for clients worldwide. Self-taught, Janette has the ability to capture an animal’s personality and expression in wood.
Janette has been a regular contributor to Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts and other woodworking magazines since 2006. Many of her pieces have been chosen to be featured on their covers. In 2006, one of her custom pieces received both “Best in Show” and “People’s Choice” awards at the Rhododendron Festival’s annual art show in Florence, Oregon. The same piece was selected by Woodcraft Magazine in March of 2007 from over 300 entries for their intarsia contest. Throughout her career, she has been featured in numerous publications and even local TV news. She is recognized as one of the premier Intarsia Artists by her peers.
In 2014, Janette took her career to the next level by giving seminars at the Fine Woodworking Showcase in Saratoga Springs, NY, and the Fox Chapel Publishing Woodworking Show in PA. She enjoys teaching and has found that meeting other Intarsia enthusiasts and helping them to become better at their craft is very rewarding.
Recently, Janette was asked to write a “How To” book on Intarsia. Her book “Intarsia Woodworking Made Easy” is due out in July 2023. It contains skill-building projects from beginner to advanced with detailed instruction, tips, and techniques for both learning and improving intarsia skills.
Starting with a pattern, Janette selects the types of wood she will use in a project. The color and grain selection of the wood is an important first step. Each piece is first cut out with a scroll saw, then shaped and sanded utilizing different types of sanding and carving tools. Once each piece has been shaped, they are all glued together and several coats of a clear satin finish are applied to protect and enhance the natural colors of the wood. Stains are rarely used, although there are some colors that nature simply doesn’t provide in wood. When used appropriately, stains or dye can greatly enhance a project. The project is then glued to a backing for added strength. Each finished project is numbered and signed by the artist. On the back of each piece, she lists the types of wood used. She sells both finished pieces as well as pattern designs for other intarsia artists to utilize.
Bill Stinnett, Oil Painting
My wife, Robin, and I began visiting Yachats over thirty years ago. It was love at first sight. Of course, as I am sure many will attest, Yachats magically turns everyone into an artist. Being no exception, I was quickly enchanted and inspired. We purchased a small lot on Ocean View Drive on our second visit and built our home here four years later. It was completed in 1992, the same year our daughter was born. Since then we have come to Yachats at least once every year. For the past several years, we have been able to spend the entire summer here. During each retreat (from the big city and the summer heat), I manage a few amateur oil paintings, mostly landscapes.

Lauren Strach, Textile Art
Lauren Strach, took a mid-life change in career direction, when she left her college professorship, and committed to pursuing a life dedicated to art. Over the past several years, her art quilts have been juried into many of the most prestigious quilt shows in the U.S., including three years of being a finalist at the International Quilt Show in Houston. Lauren was also a finalist in the “$100,000 Quilt Challenge” in 2007. Her quilts utilize many of latest mixed media techniques, including hand-dying, discharge, painting on fabric, beading, and the use of a variety of fabrics and threads to achieve her images of fantastical realism. In addition to her textile art, Lauren has also studied photography, drawing, and painting. But while the studies into the other mediums complement and develop her artist’s eye, her favorite medium remains textiles.
Carol Summers, Watercolor
Carol began her watercolor adventure after retiring from court reporting in Eugene, Lane County Circuit Court, and moving to Yachats. In 2007 Carol and a few friends were charter members of the Yachats Arts Guild which now has more than 30 members from the Central Oregon Coast.

Jude Toler, Silk Painting
The creative impulse has always been an important part of my life and was fostered at an early age by my Grandfather, a talented amateur painter. Years later, living in London I began exploring different media in evening classes as I supported myself in the hope of an eventual Art career.
In 1972 I was accepted at Hornsey College of Art in London and graduated top of my class with a BA(Hons) degree in Textile design. During my graduating year, I won a national carpet design competition, two first-place awards, and travel bursaries for textile design from The Royal Society of Arts.
Following Art College I became a designer for a London fashion house for two years, designing clothing shown in the London and Paris fashion shows. Moving to Wales led me to work as a carpet designer for a year. Missing freedom in my art life led to a career change in the travel industry as a Tour Director. Seasonal tour work gave me access to the great cultural centers and museums of Europe and far afield to Australia and New Zealand, allowing the off-season months to be devoted to personal art exploration. During this travel life, a chance visit to Catalina Island off the California coast introduced me to the beautiful tiles made in Avalon during the 1920s, this in turn inspired the creation of a successful tile design studio in Oakland, Oregon. I made, designed, and sold tiles at Festivals in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California for twenty-odd years, finally closing the studio before moving to the Oregon Coast.
A chance encounter with Karen Sistek’s lovely silk paintings online led to classes in her studio. The brilliant hues of the dyes on the luxurious sheen of the silk are a perfect fit for my knowledge of textiles and love of painting and are full of potential for experimentation in the future. I also paint in watercolor.
Maeona Urban, Oils
Maeona L. Urban was born in Portland, Oregon, and is a self-taught artist, drawing from a natural ability as a third-generation artist and painter. At the age of eight, using leftover paints from her mother’s palette, she did her first oil painting of a baby duck. She also spent summers with her “Edwardian” Grandmother doing ceramic and china painting.
Maeona left school early but continued her interest in art. Through her studies, she learned the history, math, and science lessons most students learn in structured education. Her favorite artists use oil and she still prefers the aroma, texture, and flexibility of oils, but also does work in acrylic and watercolor.
Today she is living in the city of Yachats, which enables her to work with respect for nature. She paints the places and people around her and records the beauty of the places they visit as a family.
Throughout her life, Maeona has been involved with art in many ways. She has studied art, done artwork, taught classes for children and adults, designed commercial art for businesses, shown artwork in shows and galleries, and volunteered at local schools. She has been a member of art clubs, art guilds, art committees, regional art councils, and countywide art survey projects. Maeona has served as President, Vice-President, Chair, Secretary, and Historian in many different organizations. She has participated in an untold number of juried and judged shows, displays, exhibits, auctions, fundraisers, and fairs. In one way shape or form, Maeona has helped receive art, hang art, and promote art in her home community. She has acquired many honors and awards for her artwork, been chosen as a cover artist for shows, and has had her work collected in various private collections throughout Oregon and the entire Northwest. She has also participated for many years in the bi-annual Global Art for Peace Project and has exchanged art with other artists around the world.
