SILAS FINCH
CARAPACE 3 - 26 Nov 2022 The shell of the horseshoe crab is not unlike the armor we build up around ourselves: a personal carapace that protects us from the surrounding world. Within the horseshoe crab, there are millions of years of evolution. They remain unchanged, a living fossil. The simplicity and beauty of their carapace,... Read more

WHEN ATTENTION BECOMES DEVOTION 3 - 26 Nov 2022 Fine art photographer Charlotte Watts recently sent me an exquisite image of a single feather. 'I cannot feel this Barred Owl breast feather in my hand,' she wrote. 'It is 'nothingness', or perhaps we are, and it is there all the while... being breath exhaled.' I was moved by her... Read more

GARY VINCENT
I SING OF TREES 6 - 29 Oct 2022 Walking in the woods has been a lifelong pleasure. Taking a trail through trees always evokes a sense of adventure. Better yet, leaving the trail to wander at leisure through the many patches of aspen on the western slopes of Steens Mountain. Autumn colors, unique trunk shapes, irregular black scars... Read more

CLIVE KNIGHTS
PASSAGES TO THE END OF A WORLD 1 Sep - 1 Oct 2022 Being mortal is perhaps the most profound commonality we share as human beings. We venture through life marking it with milestones and gravestones, striding across one threshold after another without ever truly arriving, always on our way, en route, passing through. Life is an unfolding experience spun back to ourselves... Read more

KIRK WELLER
UNDISCOVERED MOUNTAINS 1 Sep - 1 Oct 2022 Most “discoveries” of places on Earth as documented in history books neglect the footfalls of prehistory. These places have already been discovered millennia ago. We seem to demand that our own perception is what matters most. If we go with that, then all mountains are undiscovered to this day, until...

ANNIE MEYER
4 - 27 Aug 2022 I used to travel to the San Juan Islands in the beautiful Puget Sound each summer when I was a young adult. Somehow, I stopped going there. In retrospect, I feel I have been distracted, or displaced with my mind and thoughts in other places the last 25 years. I... Read more

LORI RHODES
THE GREATER GOOD 4 - 27 Aug 2022 I am influenced by recent pivotal events and my place in the world as a woman. Current events have consistently challenged long held perceptions and seeped into my psyche as well as my work. In the past few years a constant drumbeat of threats that impact our shared destiny as... Read more

JIM BRESSI
ON ACCOUNT OF PAINTING 7 - 30 Jul 2022 On account of painting… In solitude, in silence, and and in softness, you may just find everything you’ve wanted to know about art. What I look for in a landscape is the slow, slightly dreamy, gracious moment, unfolding. Every canvas is a journey all of its own; a creative perspective,... Read more

MARILYN JOYCE
VANTAGE POINT 7 - 30 Jul 2022 I engage with nature as my guide. I use my senses through my walking practice to connect to my surroundings and nourish my relationship with the land. Vantage Point provides a frame of reference, a perspective, to delve into one component of the landscape; the living, breathing world of plant... Read more

SCOTT GELLATLY
POINT OF DEPARTURE 2 - 30 Jun 2022 The landscape is my jump-off point. My visual springboard. My point of departure. In this collection of paintings, I continue to reimagine nature's color palette, albeit in ways that are further removed visually from the original source. I have put a greater emphasis on memory and embracing the unpredictability that... Read more

JEN CROWE
VISCERAL VIEWS 5 - 28 May 2022 Everyone’s experience over the past two years has been deeply personal and has changed us in ways we might never have expected. The pandemic has shone a brighter light on stark differences in our country. For some, location and access have played a large role in how they have moved... Read more

WILLIAM PARK
FROM BUCKETS AND BIRDS TO GOLDEN LEAF 7 - 30 Apr 2022 I was in high school and the paint brush had just been invented. It seemed like something one could do any number of surprising things with, so I decided to give it a go. WOW!!! It's hard to imagine all the really cool stuff one could do with those bristly...

JAMES FLORSCHUTZ
MEMORY FRAGMENTS 3 Mar - 30 Apr 2022 The assemblage and collage of found materials is fundamental to my art practice. I am fascinated with how the collage process imitates how our minds work in breaking down images and thoughts into fragments of memory. I construct sculptures out of thrown away materials that have their own histories and... Read more

MARYANN PULS
THE SHAPE OF THINGS UNKNOWN 3 Mar - 2 Apr 2022 I'm interested in visuals which fall out of the realm of representation but regardless of how abstract manage to express something that feels real. . My work is a manifestation of my observations and thoughts. I’m inspired by the endless formations created by nature and those created by humans, but... Read more

KYLE "Wetiko" DANLEY
HOME 12 Feb - 1 Mar 2022 As an anxious and restless creative, with a million ideas, it's rare that I ever truly feel settled. There was an excitement in 2003 to leave home and attend art school in the intimidating city of Detroit; begin my adult life. My youth was enjoyable, innocent and safe, however freedom... Read more

BETHANY ROWLAND
LOOKING OUT, LOOKING IN 14 Oct - 23 Nov 2021 This past week, on three consecutive days, I happened to look up at a slice of sky framed between urban roofline and trees, and was graced with the reassuring sight of the fall bird migration. On Day 1, it was a dense kettle of swirling, rising Turkey Vultures; on Day... Read more

SILAS FINCH
BEFITTING 14 Oct - 23 Nov 2021 Shoes are befitting to who we are. They offer a glimpse into the life of the wearer. They have personality, speak of stature, strife, labor, and craft. In movement and standing still, they are suggestive for how one carries themself. Over time, they become worn, tired, wrinkled, scuffed, set aside,... Read more

CLIVE KNIGHTS
AUTOCHTHONOUS CITIES & OTHER LIMINAL WORKS 2 Sep - 12 Oct 2021 The artist and cultural commentator John Berger has said, “We who draw do so not only to make something visible to others, but also to accompany something invisible to its incalculable destination.” I maintain that the work presented in this show is the outcome of such acts of drawing, despite...

KIRK WELLER
FROM A DISTANCE: Across the Great Divide 2 Sep - 12 Oct 2021 The title of this show was taken from two songs popularized by Nanci Griffith, a wonderful folk musician, who died this August. We’ve had a lot of loss lately so it seemed fitting to take titles from two songs she brought to form: From a Distance , written by Julie... Read more

ANNIE MEYER
EARTH, MOUNTAIN and SKY: Willamette Valley Landscapes 5 - 31 Aug 2021 Although I have lived in Portland since 1980, my affinity for a wide open landscape and a large sky is from my Midwest roots. Living in the midst of this beautiful Willamette Valley has provided the inspiration for this body of work. My soul and spirit are in these figurative... Read more

LORI RHODES
SIGNALING 5 - 31 Aug 2021 Signaling offers work that I have created in the past eighteen months. It is my attempt to make sense of this new world and find hope within it. The isolation along with unprecedented pain in 2020 made the desire for human connection palpable. The work represents an attempt to understand... Read more

JIM BRESSI
NEW PAINTINGS 1 - 31 Jul 2021 Jim Bressi extends and clarifies the importance of landscape painting. With no rules or limits, he creates with intuitive motion. He paints with a light touch across the canvas and clarifies the importance of generating imagery. He draws intrinsic vision from exploring in the mountains and seaside. His paintings summon...

MARILYN JOYCE
WISP 1 - 31 Jul 2021 Wisp explores my deepening connection to the land and sense of place by observing winter and early spring turning points. The seasons act as a working guide in the process of living and making. The subdued vitality of winter months gives way to early spring's explosive power, explored through daily... Read more

SCOTT GELLATLY
A GLIMPSE OF NATURE 1 - 29 Jun 2021 I am constantly amazed by the tapestry of color, texture, and pattern of the natural world. I draw imagery from multiple sketches and studies created at local rivers, wetland areas and nature preserves. These sketchbook sized works in casein serve as a means of information gathering to respond to in... Read more

LB BUCHAN
SCULPTURES 1 Jun - 31 Jul 2021 My work addresses the discomfort we often feel with taboo subjects such as death and decay, and our impulse to avoid them, physically and emotionally. I draw from a variety of sources in the natural world, including carcasses, skeletal structures, biological specimens, taxidermy, fungi, plant life, and general animal and... Read more

WILLIAM PARK
NEW PAINTINGS 6 - 31 May 2021 My work in this show is a continuation of work that has been growing in large part since 1980 when a friend introduced me to Richard Diebenkorn’s work. I came to realize my connection to structure and how it helps bring some order into a life teetering on the edge... Read more

KEN ROTH
TRANSITIONS 6 - 31 May 2021 2020, it is obvious to say, brought many changes to us all. It was, and still is, a confusing time in which to plan and make “life decisions”. It was in July of 2020 when my partner and I, Maria Carey, were given the opportunity to make a big change... Read more

KENNETH MARUNOWSKI
SPIRIT OF PLAY 1 Apr - 4 May 2021 Risk-taking, curiosity, intuition, problem-solving, physical engagement, spontaneity, abandon: these are among the elements that go into every abstract painting I create, elements that comprise what I refer to as a “spirit of play.” There are few guides to my process, particularly in its early stages, save perhaps a color relationship... Read more

JEN CROWE
PAINTINGS 3 - 30 Mar 2021 My paintings are created without the use of brushes using a mixture of oil and cold wax. I use paint in an extensive layering process to create a “history” on the panel. Throughout this process I focus on the use of color, texture and line. These elements portray depth through... Read more

CLIVE KNIGHTS
PRECIPITATIONS 3 - 30 Mar 2021 Ironically, collage might be the most liberating creative medium. Despite being a process of gathering image material already wrapped up in everyday life, previously spent, so to speak, in its contribution to former intentions of which the collage-maker played no part (e.g. popular press, literature), it nevertheless inspires an intuitive,...

KIRK WELLER
LOST SOLITUDES 3 Sep - 17 Oct 2020 It’s good having people around. But our world is too full of people. Solitude connects us with the absence of others. And it is the absence of others which is one of the most poignant things we endure or enjoy in this life. Growing up in Western Colorado, the most... Read more

BETHANY ROWLAND
SIGHTLINES: On Seeing What is Really There 3 Sep - 17 Oct 2020 We are living in a time that calls for hope and generosity and clarity of vision. Our lives have been upended by a virus we can’t see, in a world already wounded and hurting, and where our attention is easily squandered on what we fear. There is so much that... Read more

MARILYN JOYCE
DARK SKY RHYTHM 2 Jul - 29 Aug 2020 I consider myself an artist grounded by the earth, in the land; feet planted while I walk, senses heightened and amplified by nature. Thus my work, reflecting that profound connection. The skies, always above me. This past fall and winter, I had opportunities to visit eastern Oregon and specifically the... Read more

ANNIE MEYER
SAUVIE ISLAND BY MY HOME 2 Jul - 29 Aug 2020 This exhibit of monotypes, Sauvie Island By My Home, holds a special place in my heart and history. I moved to Portland 40 years ago.

SCOTT GELLATLY
CATCH AND RELEASE 4 - 30 Jun 2020 Imagery comes from where I feel the most deeply rooted. These paintings have their origins in the numerous, small wetland areas near my home in Portland. Multiple sketches and plein air paintings have been created on-site, catching the endless supply of compositions and color relationships. These studies serve as the... Read more

WILLIAM PARK
FRIDAYS WITH FRED 7 May - 2 Jun 2020 In April 2007 a tall, lanky fellow entered my studio near the end of an exhibition party. He was an interesting sort. During our conversation I asked if he would consider sitting for me. He readily agreed. This was the beginning of our weekly sessions. We each brought our skills... Read more

KEN ROTH
THROUGH THE VEIL 27 Feb - 2 May 2020 This current body of work represents for me an attempt to approach painting from a new point of view. My preoccupation has been to challenge myself with the process by which I build an image, specifically an attention to surface, chromatic range, special definition, luminosity, and the tension of open...

NEW MONOTYPES 8 Jan - 22 Feb 2020 My monotypes are often a direct response to personal experience, a ritual held between the threshold of the subconscious and intent. I will use photos I have taken as a means of reference to reconstruct still framed eye witnessed accounts, as well as work from my imagination, no image, connecting... Read more

ACCUMULATION 31 Aug - 2 Nov 2019 Accumulation is a collection of works that investigate the concepts around society’s detritus, consumerism and obsolescence as it relates to knowledge and skill in culture.

PLAYA REFLECTIONS 3 Jul - 28 Aug 2019 First Thursday Reception, August 1, 5-9pm A key component of my art practice is walking the land and being present in the environment.

NEW PAINTINGS 6 Jun - 2 Jul 2019 “Except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.” T.S.
