Like great food and wine, art is a pleasure of the senses. These three sensual delights come together like players in a seductive love triangle, finding their tryst at Liquid Assets Wine Bar in Ashland, OR. The willing participants in this triangle are an ample assortment of wine varietals paired with seasonal French-inspired cuisine. This complementary duo shares a cozy ambiance with a seductive and stimulating art exhibit. Sandi Whetzel, contemporary acrylic artist from Days Creek, OR, is a refreshing, recent addition to Ashland’s art scene. Her vibrant succulents and other flora are on display now at Liquid Assets Wine Bar, Bottle Shop and Restaurant through the evening of May 12.
Luscious colors and graceful shapes inspired from the plant world are a recurrent theme in Whetzel's art. Fantasy blends with reality in Sandi's contemporary, surrealistic and frequently sensual delights--succulents, abstract flora and trees and her most recent passion to expand her wine series. The artist is also known for her wine-themed paintings that have been used to promote the Oregon Wine industry. Marsa Morse, curator for Liquid Assets art exhibits, has invited Sandi for a return engagement to exhibit a sampling of her wine series paintings at the wine bar in September.
In addition to participating in the First Friday Art Walks, Liquid Assets will host Rogue Creamery’s
Top off your cruise of Ashland’s hot art stops during the First Friday ArtWalk, May 6 from 5-8 pm, with a rendezvous at Liquid Assets. The food, wine, ambiance and the tantalizing art will tickle your senses. Sandi will be delighted to visit with interested visitors. The wine bar is located at 96 N Main St., adjacent to the Bard’s Inn and the Plaza Inn and Suites and just a short walk from many of Ashland’s quaint Bed-and-Breakfasts.
