Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor is the title of a new thematic exhibition that opened at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center on July 11, 2010 and continues through October 10th 2010.
Featuring the works of Northwest regional American and Canadian artists, the show uses Port Angeles's role as a harbor community to serve as the vehicle for exploring broader implications of that identity, both locally and on the larger world stage. As a noun harbor connotes a sheltered port or a place of refuge. As a verb harbor means to secretly shelter some one or thing or to maintain and sustain thoughts, perceptions and feelings internally.

Strait Art Twenty Ten
Eisenhour shows at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.
The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center opened a new exhibition, Strait Art Twenty Ten on March 14, 2010.
This marks the 20th edition of the Center's annual series dedicated to the artists of Juan de Fuca country. Featuring twenty-nine artists spread across the north Peninsula from Joyce to Port Townsend, Strait Art, unlike other multi-artist exhibitions presented at PAFAC, has no pre-determined theme other than the artists' place of residency. "However," said PAFAC director Jake Seniuk, "that requirement is not meant to direct or restrict imagery or subject to any specific physical terrain, although all who live in this rhapsodic landscape are most assuredly inspired every time they glance out the window."
Formal sculpture is represented by David Eisenhour's elegant welded steel cast bronze of deeply textured organic forms that are based on enlarged plant life.

David’s Sculpture ‘Mother Grain’ will be featured in the juried exhibition “Flora: Growing Inspirations”
US Botanic Garden, 245 First Street, S.W., Washington DC From"
May 23 – October 12, 2009. The show ‘Flora: Growing Inspirations’
celebrates the place plants have long held in culture through artistic expression and symbolic representation. Essential as the energy base of all terrestrial life, plants carry out complex life processes and show remarkable diversity of form. They possess a powerful and persistent, if quiet, life force – one strong enough to buckle sidewalks, cleanse Earth’s atmosphere, support the energy needs of nearly all life forms, and bear witness to generations of human history. Contemporary artists were encouraged to draw on the fundamental strength of plants’ life force for powerful metaphors that comment on the state of modern society and individual human existence.
The Washington Sculptors Group is co-sponsoring the exhibition. The WSSG is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness of sculpture and fostering exchanges among sculptors, sculpture enthusiasts and the public. Visit www.washingtonsculptors.org for more information about WSG membership and programs.
The United States Botanic Garden (USBG) is operated by the Congress of the United States. It is located in Washington, DC on the National Mall across First Street SW from the US Capitol. Annual visitation is estimated at 850,000. The newly renovated Conservatory offers the citizens of Washington and visitors from across the nation a living plant museum that interprets the importance and irreplaceable value of plants to the well-being of humans and earth’s fragile ecosystems.

'Watershed Notes' fountain is dedicated
David's fountain 'Watershed Notes' has been installed in the courtyard of the Webster House at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center. The fountain was commissioned by Jane Floyd in honor of her late husband, Ron Floyd.
Eisenhour's design uses multiple bronze elements mounted on glacial boulders to create an ensemble that evokes the Olympic environment with imagery and sound. Three bronze leaves, each with a 4-foot span, are naturalistically rendered as stepped planes over which water flows. The crenulated texture of a maple leaf, the stiff expanse of a salal leaf and the fan-like form of an ancient ginkgo provide opportunities for the water to pool and reflect, while at the same time discharging many rivulets that splash with sparkling timbres in the sound chamber formed by the parabolic sweep of the Webster House.
The marine environment enters the design in the form of bronze crustaceans mounted to the stones to conjure a tide pool. Eisenhour's mastery of patinas will evoke a high degree of naturalism while creating a harmonious mood through colors integrated with the natural setting.

Sculpture 
By David Eisenhour
Art lovers will enjoy this full-color book featuring the sensuous sculptures of Port Hadlock's David Eisenhour. Depicting the natural world's minutia, each of Eisenhour's pieces forces the observer to engage in a new way of seeing the life that surrounds us, and the tactile response to his work is still present even in this two-dimensional form.
Port Townsend resident Ann Welch designed this book using photography by Frank Ross Photographic and Suzanne Beal wrote an illuminating essay about David's work. A lovely product, available only by calling Eisenhour at 643-1312.
