Some Art In Nye Beach

Nye Beach in Newport, Oregon is great spot to find some exceptional art...indoors, outdoors...you name it.

Before I moved to Newport I had no idea that there was such an artist community (primarily in Nye Beach) and that it encompasses many mediums.

The first two photos are of a mural (photographed in two pieces) located on the Yaquina Art Gallery Building in Nye Beach.

OK! I take my camera and I walk around Nye Beach and photograph all the art I can find. Cool sculptures, mosaics whatever I can find.

One of the renowned spots in Nye Beach is the Sylvia Beach Hotel (link). I won't go into any vivid description of the hotel other than say that it features some twenty rooms named after prominent authors. A must place to visit and stay while in Newport.

They were kind enough to let me photograph some of the wall murals...one in the lobby and another in one of the rooms.

My photography can be purchased in many different forms: prints, notecards, posters (See Below!)

Outdoor Statues

It's fun to go around a town and photograph the art a place has to offer. And, Long Beach, Washington has a lot of outdoor art to offer.

There are statues, sculptures and wall art...all different mediums.

Although many of the sculptures depict sea life, there are statues of William Clark (think Lewis & Clark) here and there. He lead a separate expedition which had there first encounter with the Pacific Ocean.
