Yaquina Art Association Artist Showcase

YAA Spotlight

Angie Thomas & Veta Bakhtina

September 27October 10, 2025

Angela Thomas finds great joy and peace in painting. Many different mediums are used in her creations, whether oil, acrylic, and/or a combination of varied techniques.

After moving to the Newport, Oregon area, she joined the Yaquina Art Association. Being a part of the Yaquina Art Association she is supported and encouraged in her growth as an artist. Angela enjoys learning wherever she can. She so appreciates the Yaquina Art Association for providing free art classes, where she has had the opportunity to try her hand using an acrylic medium for the first time.

Veta Bakhtina is exhibiting a series of folk art pieces inspired by Slavic design and contemplations on our mystical world

The Yaquina Art Association Gallery a 501c3 is located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive. Hours of operation are 11 am to 4 pm every day. Interested in becoming a member of the Yaquina Art Association? We offer free classes, too. Please visit our gallery in Nye Beach for more.
