Statement:

What happens when a collection of animal loving artist from all around the country are asked to support Clatsop Animal Assistance (CAA), to generate funds for operating cost? “True Colors” a group show by pet friendly artist, at The Gallery @ Yummy wine bar and bistro. A collection of fourteen diverse artist join together to create “True Colors”, seven local and seven from across the country; consisting of, Anni Jones, Carol Riley, Cathy Law, Darren Orange, David Jonathan Marshall, Dolores Matthys, Jim Kingwell, Jimmy Pickering, Johanna Parker, Jorjett Strumme , Laura Huliska-Beith, Laurie Keller, Maura Cluthe, and Steve Haskamp.

CAA is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to helping homeless and needy pets in Clatsop County. Besides the cost of spay and neutering, a critical part of the organization’s work involves preparing and promoting these pets for adoption. CAA supports and improves their overall health with medical care and treatments, supplies, allergen free food and grooming. Volunteers walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs in need of a little help to prepare them for their 'forever home' are provided training through Hammond Kennel.

“True Colors” began with a simple discussion between two friends Corey Albert and Josie Coleman. Josie, an active CAA volunteer, was excited to share her thoughts with Corey regarding ideas to help raise funds for the CAA; leading them to the idea of an art show. “This is unlike anything we’ve ever done before and the response from artist and everyone involved has been overwhelming,” says Corey Albert, Owner and Chef of Yummy wine bar and bistro. “Once artists heard 100% of every dollar generated from this show was going directly to CAA, they all said yes.” The artist have not only donated their art, but the revenue from the sale of their pieces, The Gallery @ Yummy wine bar and bistro has donated their commission, and many many others have donated their time and expense, resulting in every dollar generated from “True Colors”, going directly to CAA. This is the first time a gallery and artists have collaborated to create such an event for CAA.

“True Colors” is a symbol of how the arts can help others. It’s an example of the unspoken bond artist share, locally and nationally, strangers to each other, but coming together as one voice in support of something they see as special in our community.

ON GOING SHOW

Deroy (Deacon) Sharp

You might describe Deacon much as you would a fine painting: "an original" - or, at the very least, a special edition. Originality and individualism have become underlying objectives for him, and categorizing his work seems a bit of a challenge.

A sculptor, painter and maker of masks, he has worked in traditional realism as well as technical and impressionistic styles. His subjects cover an equally broad range: horses, cowboys, jazz musicians, large and intensely colored pastoral landscapes, and small animals that wildlife artists who portray majestic game might overlook. After viewing a few of his pieces in either medium, however, you see a singular style.

Born and reared on a Kansas wheat farm, Deroy Sharp ("Deacon" is a boyhood nickname) saw farm animals and wildlife daily. He began painting and carving their images. Always knowing he wanted to be an artist, he studied fine arts at Colorado State University in Fort Collins and at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, exploring design and impressionism in depth.

For a time Deacon earned some money painting portraits of prize-winning livestock. After college, he worked for a while as a technical illustrator in the defense industry and later as a design technician for an electric utility. Deacon says he resisted his natural inclination toward impressionism because, "I thought the public was looking for something else and, you know, you kind of want to be somewhat successful," he explains. However, doing traditional realistic sculpture didn't give him personal satisfaction or prove financially lucrative.

One day, in discussing the situation with his wife, Jodi, he decided, "I'm gonna take a bold step. I'm gonna go and do what I want to do and what I was trained to do and what I am drawn to do. If it's just for ourselves, so what. We'll have art for our home."

He began by designing a few masks, instilling his work with greater stylization, and to his surprise, the masks started selling. "Not only did the public gravitate to what I was doing," Deacon recalls, "but I was freed up to do what I really enjoy."
