The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON—The Wenaha Gallery will feature artist Tanna Scott for the upcoming Art Event.

Based in Kennewick, WA, Scott finds her inspiration in rough range cattle and roaming horses, focusing on Western and Rodeo art. Her work has brought viewers to tears more than once, striking emotional chords and leaving them feeling nostalgic. Scott tells of one encounter with a viewer who insisted that the horse in her painting was the same one he looked to each morning. After getting to know the viewer, she learned he was battling cancer, and looked to the horse for strength and encouragement. By the end of the transaction, Scott said that all parties involved were in tears.

Scott’s work is on view at the Wenaha Gallery SepSeptember 22 through October 19. The Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.- 6 p.m., and is located at 219 E Main St.
