Karla Chambers has operated Stahlbush Island Farms in Corvallis--the first farm ever to be certified as sustainable by the Food Alliance--since 1985. A self-taught artist, she uses the colors and textures of her produce as the inspiration for her lively paintings. This exhibition directly supports JSMA’s work at Edison Elementary School and our school tours this fall. During the winter, work created by Edison students will be displayed in our Artist Project Space to illustrate how Chambers’s work has inspired them not only to embrace creating art for expression, but also to select a healthier plate when making decisions about eating.
