Smith Rock ~ Animal Village
18x24" watercolor, 2026

* Original painting available at @rentalsalesgallerypam for rental and purchase
* Prints available on my website
* 20% of my profits will go to @warmspringswatercoalition

"Smith Rock ~ Animal Village" is included in Rental Sales Gallery's Spring Show, opening ✨tonight✨ April 24 from 4-7pm and continuing thru May 30.

This painting's title comes from a 2022 interview between @tarakerzhner and @lennecefer hosted by @nativesoutdoors about Native relationships with the place also known as Smith Rock, near Bend, in central Oregon's high desert. (Interview link in my bio.) The legends of Animal Village reflect the rich wildlife found here, and the long history and presence of the Northern Paiute.

I first visited Animal Village in 2023, walked the trails, and took reference photos for this painting. When I visit a new place, I'm curious about its history and naming. I found several conflicting and vague references to the Smith Rock name. Learning about the traditional name for this place, Animal Village, felt aligned with this incredible environment.

The linked interview also includes an animated video of the Animal Village place name story, narrated by Elder Wilson Wewa, Warm Springs Paiute Tribe's oral historian. Wewa's oral histories are collected in the book "Legends of the Northern Paiute," which includes the excellent chapter "Why Badger is Flat and Mean," involving Coyote, dancing, and farts.

I'm excited for our upcoming Artist Walk at Hagg Lake, and I want to complement that offering with a guide to the ten most accessible Wonder Windows, fully visible from a parked car, including info on ADA parking and paths.

Links in my bio for both the Artist Walk registration and the Accessible Windows Guide, or visit www.emilyjungmiller.com/wonder-windows for all that and more.

Pictured: both sides of the Scoggins Creek Wonder Window, one of the top ten most accessible Windows.

Trillium ~ Maiden, Mother, Crone
11x14" watercolor, 2025

I watched these three grow together in their soft forest of sword ferns, mosses, and Sitka spruce during a magical week on the Tillamook coast. So many things are a gift, if we choose.

Seal Lagoon at Heceta Head
30" x 20" watercolor, 2024

On display in PASSAGE, solo exhibit up thru July 25, 2025 in the Gladys Valley Marine Studies building at Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport, Oregon. Show catalog link in my bio or visit emilyjungmiller.com/exhibits/passage

Just south of Heceta Head on the central coast of Oregon, there's a pullout on the highway with a great view of Heceta Head lighthouse. At the right-hand corner of the pullout, you can look straight down the cliff to see a hidden, sheltered lagoon full of seals and sea lions. They're graceful acrobats in the water, and it was beautiful to watch them playing in this clear, calm lagoon from above. Sea Lion Caves is just south of here, so there are always plenty of them around.

Heceta Head is the place I chose for an informal memorial in 2022 with just my dad and stepmom, one year after my grandparents' deaths, when it became clear there wouldn't be a larger formal gathering of family and friends. Traveling and gathering safely was still very disrupted due to Covid. We have so many more tools now to keep each other safe than we did three or four years ago. Making use of our affordable access to rapid tests, quality masks, and boosters can still make a huge difference to those most vulnerable in our communities.

In this painting, I added Nootka Rose to the cliffside scrub. It wasn't there, but it's a coastal native that is appropriate to the site. Both my grandmothers loved roses and grew them in their gardens.

I didn't actually discover the seal lagoon until a year after our memorial, when I happened to stand in just the right spot, and looked down. One of the many reasons I love the ocean and the coast - even when you think you know a place, there's always more to discover and delight. 🦭
