Featured in the Mini-Guggenheim Gallery is long time artist in residence Kelley Anderson.

"My inspiration comes from a deep desire to inspire and make a difference. Art enables us to explore ourselves, to embrace the freedom of who we are. It connects us to our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and our outer realities and experiences. I believe that life is an adventure, and we all embrace self-discovery in many ways." explains in her artist statement.

There will be an opening reception on August 30 from 5-7 pm. The art will be on display from August 30 through November 9th at the Oregon Coast school of Art. For more information visit www.oregoncoastschoolofart.org.
