Resident Artist Drea Frost opened Shearwater Studio & Gallery on Hemlock Street in downtown Cannon Beach in February 2023. A resident of Cannon Beach for the past seven years, Drea attended Oregon School of Arts and Crafts in Portland.
After moving to the north Oregon coast, Drea managed White Bird Gallery from 2014 until 2019 before working as the Art Curator at the Seaside Convention Center. Shearwater Studio & Gallery serves as both a retail store and as a studio for Drea to create her art.
During the Spring Unveiling, featured artists at Shearwater Studio & Gallery will include fiber artist Hilde Morin, who will be in attendance with a new collection of textile pieces that dance between abstract and realism. Morin’s layered work is inspired by her travels, nature and multi-cultural background.
Ceramicist Shane Sjogren will be in attendance with his collection of functional and sculptural pottery. Sjogren draws inspiration from his life along the coast; while many of his pieces have hand-carved elements such as
barnacles and textures reminiscent of wave-washed dunes.
Resident artist Drea Frost will be unveiling her new print work. Expect to see pieces from fiber artist Becky Devries-Wong, local potter AJ Wahl, printmaker Karina Andrews and more.
