“The River Life Interpretive Center at Redmen
Hall will be showing an exhibit by artist Rachael Wolford. Rachael has been a major part of Redmen Hall since it was restored in 1987 by the
Friends of Skamokawa. She is a noted watercolor artist and also a founding
member of the St. James Family Center, currently serving as a Deacon and
Chairman of the Board. She was trained at the Portland Art Museum and has shown
her work at many local exhibits, this being her fourth at Redmen Hall. It is
also her final exhibit here, since she is moving out of the area. Her work
shows a deep understanding of the Columbia River in all its moods - she and her
husband lived in a sailboat and then a house boat until finally coming to land
on Puget Island. Her close connection to the River has given her an unusual
vision, with her painting and poetry showing her rare insight into the beauty
of this unique Lower Columbian Basin. The exhibit opens on Saturday April 16th with
a chance to meet the artist from 1 - 3 pm. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit is at
The River Life Interpretive Center at Redmen Hall 1394 W.SR4 in Skamokawa. The
Hall is open Thursday-Sunday 12 noon -4 pm. For further information call the Hall
360-795-3007 during open hours."
