Gallery – Art On Oak – Hood River

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Rachel Harvey @rachelharveyart. Rachel is a brilliant artist whose large evocative paintings bring us to places that we may never have seen but wish we could. Primarily self-taught, Rachel paints with the rich colors of nature at its best. She uses multiple layers of paint to create the depth and texture of her forms. Although she exhibits her paintings at prominent art fair and festivals throughout the country, we’re happy that Rachel’s home base is Art on Oak at 210 Oak St. in Hood River, OR. Come by between 10 and 5 any day of the week to see her work as well as that of thirty regional artists. “The friendliest gallery in the Gorge.” #fineart #oilpainting #landscape #landscapepaintings #art #artwork #artoninstagram #artlovers #artgallery #artcollector #artcurator #oregonartist #oregonart #hoodriver #hoodriveroregon #visithoodriver #artfairs #artfestivals
