About the Exhibit
“Charlene Rivers is from Parkdale and Myrna Anderson lives in Mosier. They have known each other or each other’s work for years. Chance brought them to exhibit together in the summer of 2021 at the invitation of the Cathedral Ridge Winery Gallery. What they discovered by showing their work in tandem is that, although very different in execution, both are fascinated by the geometric forms of the Columbia River Gorge landscape. Rivers simplifies the shapes into whimsical circles, lines and dots, and Anderson fractures the space into tiny squares and rectangles. Their complementary approaches inspired them to seek out an opportunity at The Dalles Art Center to exhibit together again.”
