"Rethinking Balch Creek" - November 2nd - December 2nd 2023, at Gallery 114

 You all better SAVE THE DATE...please

I am now a member of an artist collective, Gallery 114 (well I joined them about 1 year ago), and I will be having my first show during the month of November - 2023!

My work is almost complete and ready to hang. I have been painting and sealing frames all week, while I let the last piece in the show, simmer. I'll recheck it Monday, to decide if it is finished.

My choice to focus on Balch Creek in Portland Oregon has led me to an unexpected effort to have the name of the creek changed. This effort has spurred me to read about the history of the area, and sadly, there is not as much information as is appropriate about the Indigenous people who were here FIRST for 16,000 years or longer.

Anyway - I will be writing more.

I have invited 2 of my favorite artists to join me in the exhibit:

Doug Anderson of Hillsboro, Or and Shelly Fredenberg of Eugene, OR.

I know for a fact that our work will play off each other and harmonize!

Here is a sneek-peek.
