Trail’s End Art Association Gallery is closed the month of June, the month’s featured member artists Mary Schlunegger will be honored in other ways rather than a featured show and ArtWalk reception. There is a virtual show of her art on the Association’s home page, and Mary’s art can also be purchased on the organization’s new MarketPlace website.
In Mary’s early childhood, her father made a “little studio” for her, which encouraged her love of drawing and painting throughout her life. Having spent most of her life growing up surfing the shores of California and Hawaii, she had found great inspiration from those memories and recent ones along the Oregon Coast. One can see in her work a very close connection with the ocean and wildlife. 
She had a bustling interior design business in California for 30 years before settling on the North Coast. Now that she is retired, she can pour that same energy into her art. She has recently continued her art lessons with Debbie Loyd; Shirley Dahlsten; Michael Schlichting; Lynne Wintermute; and Ruth Armitage, experimenting with texture and color to create a cohesive piece of art.
Her work has appeared in several galleries: Fairweather House and Gallery; Bliss Boutique; the Gallery on 10th; Broadway Gallery (Longview, Washington); Trail’s End Gallery; The Great Gallery; and private collections.
Visit the Trail’s End Art Association’s website and MarketPlace at www.trailsendart.org.
Trail’s End is the oldest gallery on the North Coast, having been built as a schoolhouse in the early 1900’s and converted to art classrooms and a gallery mid-century. Besides the gallery there is a gift shop full of prints, small objects and artwork, notecards and discounted paintings.
