Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument announces 2021 Artist in Residence Selection
MEDFORD, Ore. — The Bureau of Land Management’s Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is pleased to announce the artists chosen for its 2021 Artist in Residence program. Julie Hutslar and Susan Roudebush will spend one to two weeks in residency creating works that represent the natural and cultural resources of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Each artist will have a public program to showcase their projects. The Artist in Residence Program is one way that the BLM is inviting the public to reimagine and re-engage with their public lands during our 75th anniversary.
The residents selected offer a diverse representation of the visual arts community. Arriving in early June, the first Artist in Residence is Julie Hutslar. Julie is a painter who works with both watercolor and acrylic paints and has used nature as an inspiration for much of her art. In July, textile artist Susan Roudebush will be working on three quilted panels of unique species found in the monument: one quilt panel showing four unique, endemic wildflowers, another panel showing four endemic butterflies or amphibians, and the last showing four bird species found in the monument.
