Oregon artist Sherrie Wolf opens a new exhibition of large-scale still life paintings at the Pendleton Center for the Arts on August 21, 2025. The show features works from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his family foundation, marking the center's eighth collaboration with the foundation and its first showcasing an Oregon artist. Wolf will attend the opening reception, and a coffee table book of her retrospective will be available for purchase.
The exhibition matters because it highlights a regional artist whose bold, symbolic still lifes challenge gendered perceptions of subject matter, drawing inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe. It also underscores the Pendleton Center for the Arts' growing partnership with the Jordan D. Schnitzer Family Foundation, bringing significant contemporary art to a smaller community in eastern Oregon.
