Fairweather House and Garden

Fairweather opens “Coastal Kindred,” a show featuring pastel artist Lori Wallace-Lloyd, watercolorist Denise Joy McFadden, abstract artist Marga Stanley and nature photographer Neal Maine.

Wallace-Lloyd donates proceeds back to Sky Hunter Environmental, a nonprofit that strives to enhance individuals’ knowledge of native species and habitat. “The slow disappearance of our natural world with the evolution, dispersion and extinction of many species is a primary inspiration for my artistic journey,” says Wallace-Lloyd.

Maine centers his photography artwork around coastal and Columbia River landscape, ecology and the rich estuary habitat with the surrounding wetlands and forest systems. A percentage of all photography sales are donated to North Coast Land Conservancy to help further this goal. “With renewed humility, we are learning how to share this place, to live together with our partner trail makers. PacificLight Images celebrates this partnership as we use our images to inspire others to honor nature,” says Maine.
