Sarah Bang Unveils ‘Brave Kids’ Series of Art at RedDoor Gallery

Camas, WA — The public is invited to see the latest works of original art on canvas, glass, Yupo paper, copper, wood and clay at RedDoor Gallery (RDG) at a special First Friday Art Walk reception this Friday, August 2nd from 5-8 pm featuring complimentary refreshments and delicious charcuterie. The art gallery, located in the historic building at 411 NE Dallas Street in downtown Camas, features new work each month by artists Sarah Bang, Shirley Bishop, Matthew Clarkson, Heidi Curley, Cheryl Folkers, Dave Garbot, David Gerton, Cheryl Mathieson, Liz Pike and Tamra Sheline.  The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 12pm to 7pm and by special appointment. 

A signature piece this month is titled “Fierce,” an enhanced Giclee print on canvas, reproduced from the first in a “Brave Kids” series of original paintings by Sarah C. Bang.  Sarah is an accomplished painter who works predominantly in oils and acrylics on canvas. She was inspired to paint the piece after seeing a random photo and poem that she found on the internet. 

“I used every color on my palette to create a black and white image,” she said. “We can do more than we ever imagined, whether it’s standing up to a bully, defending someone who can’t defend themselves, or even fighting an illness.” 

Sarah says that bravery isn’t the absence of fear, it’s the ability to face fear, stand up and say, “Enough!” Sarah  believes the fate of the world depends on raising courageous kids today. 

Experience the joy and transformative power of art inside the RedDoor! The gallery’s mission is to provide a vibrant art space open to the public and foster a creative art-making community.
