Babes & Byways Art Event

On Dec. 4th between 6pm and 10pm fifthonsixth inc. will be presenting the art event "Babes & Byways". This event will be showcasing the works of two very talented local artists.

Lisa McShane paints landscapes of the west with lush fields, eroded hills, foggy passes, endless roads and expansive skies.

The event will also be highlighting her still lives. These pieces are painted wet into wet in one sitting using flowers and fruits of her kitchen.

When asked if Lucas Vidana would consider

his work "pop art", as popularized by visionaries such as Andy Warhol, Vidana says, "I don't believe it would be considered 'pop art'. It is more mixed media." He did not utilize a single brush stroke. Instead, he utilized pallet knives, handmade papers, screen printing, and

glue. His subjects tend to be women, but he uses images of people such as Charlie Chaplin.

Here is an interview where Vidana describes his work in greater detail as well as his

inspirations and past influences.

5% of the proceeds will go to benefit Conservation Northwest. Conservation Northwest is a nonprofit that works to preserve old growth forests and other natural areas from the shores of Washington to the Canadian Rockies. These areas are vital to relationships between humans and wildlife.
