About Kathy Deggendorfer: Kathy Deggendorfer
lives on a cattle and hay ranch just outside of Sisters, Oregon.
Inspired by the color, pattern and texture of her surroundings, she
creates vibrant and colorful watercolor paintings. Whimsical images
of flowers and ranch life fill the paintings with color and life.
"Folks tell me they just feel happy when they look at my work--
that makes me happy." Raised in Portland, Oregon, in a clothing
manufacturing family, she says ,"Sewing skills skipped a
generation with me... but I love fabric. I like to call my creations
'Painters Quilts.' I can prowl around the rounders full of prints at
the Stitchin' Post with the best of 'em... I just put my fabrics in
with a paintbrush." Kathy's collaborative work with master
quilter, Tonye Belinda Phillips, is another fun combination of
painted image and textile interpretation. Kathy is currently working
on a project about Oregon Specialty Farming and sustainable farm
practices. This project takes her out into the fields of Oregon farms
to paint and learn about what makes Oregon agricultural practices and
people unique. Trips to the cattle ranches of Eastern Oregon and
vineyards of the Willamette Valley provide her with plenty of rich
and colorful images. Kathy's work is collected throughout the
Pacific Northwest and reaches out to all corners of the United
States. Kathy was selected to create the official Oregon 2008
ornament for the White House Christmas Tree. Represented by High
Desert Gallery of Central Oregon, she has pieces in the permanent
collection at Redmond Airport, 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Poster
Artist, she wrote and illustrated a children's book for St. Charles
Medical Center, and her work has been translated into clothing and
fabric for Columbia Sportswear. In 2005, Kathy was awarded 'Citizen
of the Year' in Sisters Oregon for her contributions to the community
and the arts. High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central
Oregon is honored to represent Kathy Deggendorfer exclusively in
Central Oregon.
