Oregon Coast

By Karol Good

Acrylic on Canvas

24" x 21"

Karol and her late husband Dr. Richard Good were in the group of dedicated Chanute citizens that banded together in the late 1950's to help Osa Johnson's mother Belle Leighty and Martin's sister Freda create this museum.

Over the years, Karol's paintings, sculptures, paper works, textiles and drawings have helped raise much needed funds for our museum, especially at our Artisan driven annual Safari High Tea that Karol's daughter Diane works so hard on each year!

This piece is valued at $200.

Our museum hosts special exhibitions by international, national, as well as local and regional artists in our Stott Explorers Gallery. Often these artists are generous enough to donate select pieces from their shows and private collections to help support the museum.

Ivana Buttry is a Czech landartist specialized for landscape-architecture and designing gardens. She designed several successful projects and exhibited original photos of her premiere LandArt experience, LANDSCAPE THAT NEVER SLEEP as a fundraiser for the museum.

At the show's close, Buttry donated all 60 of the original photos to the museum to continue her support through sales in our Osa's Ark Museum Store and at auctions such as these.

This auction item is titled "Colorful Harmony" and measures 11 7/8" by 17 7/8."

Brief Background on the Artist:

During her studies in France, Buttry came across "landart" for the first time in 2004. She is inspired freely by the work of French artists such as Emmanuel Plume, Laurent Gerbouin, and Yoann Crépin. She creates installations in nature using a rather small scale, mainly because it better explains the uniqueness and singularity of each object. After every installation, the work itself is never preserved but in her photography. It is left to environmental conditions and gradually erodes from existence. The composition art of Ivana Buttry tells non-uttered stories hidden in the landscape of each of us.

Ivana cooperates with Czech broadcasting corporation and currently she is teaching Landscape architecture at Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague.

This orginal art piece was created by Jim Sallenbach for a collaborative show entitled An Artistic View of Martin & Osa Johnson's World. As part of this exhibition, Sallenbach channeled the exotic locations explored by Martin and Osa Johnson and expressed them in creative pieces of paper art, sculpture and mixed media collages.

This mixed media creation features a collage of clock imagery with a silhouette photo of Martin + Osa's airplanes in flight. It will come in an 11" x 14" thick Mylar sleeve frame ready to display.

Artist Background Brief:

Jim Sallenbach, a self-taught, mixed media artist, describes his own art succinctly as "If I drew a tree, it would not look like a tree." He takes ordinary and often discarded objects and turns them into thought-provoking individual pieces of art. Jim's prolific works have been exhibited in Kansas and California.
He focuses primarily on sculptures in 2D and 3D using paper, found and re-purposed objects, as well as canvas and board.
