“Fall Reflections”
GALA (Gresham Area League of Artists)
Between Day and Night, Fall and Winter, Childhood and All the Rest
Memento Mori
The Gresham Area League of Artists is sponsoring the exhibit, Fall Reflections, from August 31-November 20 at the School District Building/ Gresham City Council Chambers Lobby. The space is a dedicated gallery hosting art displays of many kinds. It’s free and open to the public. I will have prints of two of my collages in the show: “Memento Mori” and “Between Day and Night, Fall and Winter, Childhood and All the Rest”. Come on out, especially if you live in the area, and see all of the art depicting some notion of fall, liminal states and spaces, transitions, the end of autumn and the coming of winter and all that it implies. A contemplative exhibit for sure!
Artistic Portland Gallery: I’m Now an Artist Member
As of September, my work is available for viewing at Artistic Portland Gallery
As of September, 2026, I have graduated from Visiting Artist and am now a member of the co-op, displaying my work at Artistic Portland Gallery, located at 4110 NE Fremont Street.
If you are familiar with the gallery, you know the amazing member artists and the talent of the Guest and Visiting Artists displayed there. If you don’t know the gallery, you are in for a treat. The quality of the paintings, jewelry, woodwork, ceramics, mixed media, and photography is first class. And if you’re shopping for gifts, you must include a trip to the gallery.
I now have a dedicated space at Artistic Portland Gallery, with six of my larger works on the wall, plus small versions of my prints, and note cards on display. I’ll be rotating more of my art in and out over the coming months.
Please come by and take a look when you’re in the Beaumont Wilshire neighborhood!

Just for Fun, Have Brunch at Little Griddle
The friendly folks at Little Griddle on SE Hawthorne (not the one on 41st off NE Fremont) were kind enough to allow me to hang my collage, “Breakfast Down at the Neighborhood Diner.” A natural, right? If you’re in the mood for a good diner style breakast, brunch, or lunch, come by and while you’re at it, take a look at the collage in person!
