Roll On, Columbia
We all know and love the Columbia River. It’s swift waters hold our region’s history and livelihood.
Bill Smith’s captivating photographs capture it’s essence and beauty.
Our September exhibit features twenty-five of Bill Smith’s digital landscape photographs taken over the last four years in the Columbia River valley between Kalama and the Columbia River Bar.
“I regard this area of the country as very beautiful and I hope to do justice to it,” he explains. We think he does.
Along with Bill’s photographs, Sandy Brown is displaying a colorful selection of tea bowls, spiral plates, platters and trays thrown on the potters wheel with her own hands.
