The Wy’East Artisans Guild and the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce will hold an art exhibit “Northwest Impressions” featuring the work of Welches artist Steve Ludeman.

The public can take in the exhibit during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday from Dec. 4 through Dec. 30.

Ludeman draws his inspiration from the scenic beauty and remarkable natural
and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest.

Through his sketching pencil and paint brush he shares his love of nature and
tells stories of his outdoor adventures – hiking, skiing and kayaking.

In 2013, Ludeman was honored with the “Artist’s Award of Excellence” from
the Mt. Hood Area Chamber of Commerce.

Multiple art galleries and gift shops display his works including the Gallery at
Timberline Lodge, Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, Mount Hood Cultural
Center and Museum and Vista House at Crown Point.

His paintings are included in permanent collections at Timberline Lodge and
the Oregon Health and Science University.
