For Whitney Jayne, her art is about making connections, and she likes to paint favorite Oregon vistas, “the places people go and make memories.” In rekindling shared experiences, she hopes to strengthen bonds we feel for nature, animals and each other. “You have to have connection before you care about something,” she says. Many of her bright, dreamy renditions can be discovered in our Home & Gift section on greeting cards, prints, stickers and magnets. A professional artist for a decade, she calls the Bend area home. Look for Whitney Jayne’s artwork in the Home & Gift section of your Market to give as gifts or to enjoy yourself.

Maybe you want to tuck a note in your loved one’s lunch box. Or maybe you want to put a playful sticker on a notebook or hang up a truly special wall calendar right where the family can see beautiful art and be inspired. Megan Marie Myers Art adapts original canvas paintings to create a variety of gift items and keepsakes that reflect her imaginative art. Among them are gorgeous greeting cards, postcards, stickers and calendars, which can be found in the Home & Gift section of your Market. A painter, illustrator and native Oregonian, Megan’s artwork is inspired by the outdoors and the connection we have to our natural surroundings and to each other. Whimsical mountains, forests, deserts, rock formations, oceans, rivers – all are present in Megan’s art. Her human characters and animals radiate with innocence and a sense of wonder. They journey through the outdoors, exploring themes of companionship, protection, wilderness and the greatest adventure of all, love.
