Dave Garbot Unveils Newest Works at RedDoor Gallery in Camas

Camas, WA — The public is invited to see the latest works of original pen and ink and oils on canvas, glass, Yupo paper, copper, wood and clay at RedDoor Gallery (RDG) at a special First Friday Art Walk reception on Friday, September 6th 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 12 pm to 7pm and by special appointment.

A signature piece in September titled “One Afternoon” is an original pen and ink on canvas created by Dave Garbot. The large 48” x 36” original will be on display along with several of his other works of art. Garbot is an accomplished illustrator of children’s books. He works predominantly in pen and ink on both paper and canvas.

“I wanted to convey the sense of fun and adventure that these characters were setting off into,” he said. “The drama of the boat bouncing up in the waves, makes me smile and I hope it will do the same for my audience.” 

Garbot says he wants to develop the story much further, and with more drawings. 

“I have to find out where they’re going, and I’m anxious to see where my mind and pen will take them,” Garbot said. This is all part of his simple life, and he is happy to share it with the public.
