About Outlaw Jazz Combo: Outlaw Jazz Combo is a group of five high schoolers from Central Oregon who love to play jazz music. The group is relatively new but has already done some impressive work, playing on KPOV's Center Stage and at the West Salem Jazz Festival, among other things. They enjoy playing many different styles of Jazz, including Latin, Bebop, Blues, Hard Bop, and more.
About: Cheryl Chapman, Silly Dog Art Glass: Cheryl employs traditional glass painting techniques, such as the “grisaille” technique, to create shadowing and texture. She then combines this technique with adding opaque high-fire glass enamels for detail and color. Cheryl starts with drawings embellished with a bit of whimsy and then begins the painting and firing process, which can take as many as five turns in the kiln to produce the final piece. Animals, especially dogs, cats, foxes, and birds, take precedence in my work. The scenery around our current home in Central Oregon has tremendously influenced her subject matter's development. She enjoys detailing the close-up and sometimes partial view of an animal’s face or head. You can view and purchase Cheryl’s glass at Makin’ It Local in downtown Sisters, Oregon.
