Come on out for a day (or two or three) to the 26th Annual Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival happening on August 21, 22 & 23rd, 2026. Great music, great food, great vibes, and great exhibitors (https://vancouverwinejazz.com/). I am very happy to have been selected as one of 15 artists who will set up tents and canopies and show their stuff. I’ll be selling mostly jazz themed (naturally!) fine art giclee prints in various sizes and at various price points from $25 to $300. I’ll also have available 20 different 5”x7” note cards with images of my collages for $10 a pop. Come enjoy the music and festival atmosphere, and you gotta stop by my booth and say hello!

My collage, Alley Cats Night Out (seen above), has been sold at the “Piecing it Together, a Regional Collage Exhibit” at the Maude Kerns Art Center in Eugene, Oregon. The show will be up until July 27. My collage will also be up for the remainder of the exhibit, so you live in the vicinity, please come by and enjoy it, and all the amazing, beautiful 2 and 3-dimensional artworks of dozens of Oregon collage artists, cut paper artists, paper sculptors, and mixed media artists. BTW, if you’d like to purchase a fine art giclee print of Alley Cats Night Out, I have it available in a full size print for $300, an 11×14” print for $75, a smaller version on 8×10” art board, suitable for framing, for $25, and a note card for $10.
Artistic Portland Gallery August, 2026
I am honored to be featured as a Visiting Artist for the month of August at Artistic Portland Gallery, located at 4110 NE Fremont Street. Artistic Portland Gallery was one of the five finalists in the 2026 Willamette Week’s “Best Art Gallery” in Portland. 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 art, jewelry, woodwork, ceramics, mixed media, and collage is first class. In August, I’ll have a an area dedicated to a few of my larger pieces, and smaller tchotchkes under $40 (8×10 prints suitable for framing, and note cards). Come visit anytime, and maybe come to the First Thursday event on August 6 at the gallery, from 4-8 pm, where I’ll be the featured artist.

Browsing the Exhibit
Portland Providence Medical Center, at 4805 NE Glisan St, Portland, 97213 maintains a community art gallery space, curated by Seth Nehil. I was very pleased that Seth asked me to exhibit 25 of my collages and prints from April 28 through June 27, 2026.
I’m delighted that13 of the 25 pieces were purchased by hospital employees, patients, or visitors. Thanks to all of them and to all of the appreciations and kind words I received from hospital employees the seven or eight times I brought friends and relatives to see the show.
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!
