RUSSELL - The next art show opens with a reception at the Deines Cultural Center, Russell, on Friday from 5-7 p.m.
The "SuSann Decker: Retrospective" is a memorial show brought to us by her daughter, Alisha.
SuSann Decker was an accomplished artist who worked in a variety of mediums. She specialized in portraits “so real, they are aglow with color and light.” She passed on May 31, 2019, in Scottsdale, AZ where she was retired. Her grandparents lived on Van Houton on the outskirts of Russell. Her parents were Harold and Jane Brumley who also recently passed.
Accomplished in oils, acrylics, and porcelain, SuSann's passion was stirring the elusive qualities of watercolor. Her paintings hang in private and public collections, with showings in Phoenix, Arizona, and Oregon. She was a member of the exclusive Oregon Watercolor Society. In addition, she was one of only a few U.S. artists who has mastered porcelain portraits. Two of her porcelain portraits were selected to represent Oregon at the World Organization of China Painters' museum in Oklahoma City.
SuSann Decker’s show is at the Deines from August 6 through September 3.
The Deines is located at 820 N. Main in Russell. We are open Tuesday through Friday 12-5p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 1-5 p.m. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
