The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

Friends of Skamokawa presents “Water Journeys” featuring award winning Southwest Washington Artist Stan Riedesel. The opening reception will be held Saturday, March 9, 1-3 p.m., at Skamokawa’s River Life Interpretive Center/Central Schoolhouse/Redmen Hall, 1394 SR 4, Skamokawa.

Riedesel is a member of both the Peninsula Arts Association and Northwest Artist Association and was the winner of the 2017 Peninsula Arts Association Garlic Festival Poster contest. Riedesel’s paintings have been displayed in the Long Beach area at The Picture Attic and Bailey's Bakery and Cafe in Nahcotta. His work has also been shown in Astoria at Grace Episcopal Church and the Astoria Artists' Loft.

A piece from his artist statement, “When an artist's brush lays pigment on paper, a story begins - a window into an imagined moment. Magically, a painting can bring both the viewer and the artist together. As the painting unfolds, the viewer can find a conversation with the shapes and colors in the image.”

Stan Reidesel’s work can be viewed at the Broadway Gallery website: http://the-broadway-gallery.com/tag/stan-riedesel/
