WHEELER During July, John Freethy and Bonnie Speer will share the walls at Harrisons Café as the artists of the month. Freethy will show linoleum block prints, all carved since his move to Oregon three years ago from Maine. Most of the prints were printed at the Manzanita Peoples Print Shop, located inside the Hoffman Center.

Speer, owner of Art Happens in Nehalem, will show paintings on plaster-covered canvas featuring rich, vibrant colors. Born and raised in Southern California, Speer spent most of her young years in the art colony of Laguna Beach. Though art was always a part of her life, at that time she did not create art or consider herself an artist. After moving to the south and opening her own framing gallery she finally became an artist. She always considered framing her art, but now paints on a regular basis and shows around Tillamook County.

Harrisons Café is located in the Old Wheeler Hotel at 495 U.S. Highway 101. Harrisons is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. An artists reception will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, July 12.
