Artist Reception: For The Love of Birds
Thursday, February 5th • 5–7 pm
Light refreshments will be served

Blue Water Fine Art Gallery
119 S Miller St., Rockaway Beach, OR 97136

Join us for a warm and welcoming evening with Lydia as we celebrate her newest body of work. This reception offers a relaxed opportunity to meet the artist, explore her mixed‑media pieces up close, and enjoy an evening of art, conversation, and community connection.

We look forward to celebrating Lydia’s work — and the birds that inspire it — with you.

THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL

February is National Bird Feeding Month, and at Blue Water Fine Art Gallery, we’re delighted to celebrate the beauty and ecology of our backyard birds through Art and Experience.

Throughout the month, Resident Artist Lydia Hess will showcase new mixed‑media works inspired by her own observations of the avian visitors who frequent her backyard. Her pieces highlight the charm, character, and quiet magic of our feathered neighbors.

Hands‑On Art Experience with Lydia Hess
Saturday, February 7th
Drop in anytime between 1 pm – 3 pm
Free community event • All materials provided

Enjoy a fun and interactive print‑making session led by Lydia. She’ll guide you through a creative immersion in form and color as you craft your own bird‑themed foam‑print keepsake card — perfect for your nature altar or to share with someone special. All ages are welcome, and no experience is needed.

This is a free community Art Experience offered in the spirit of celebrating — and caring for — the birds we love.

It’s an open space to play, celebrate life, practice embodiment modalities, enjoy music, process emotions, connect with others, and ultimately be nourished by the experience on a physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual level. No dance experience necessary.
