Eunice Parsons. Artist, teacher, mentor, mother, friend, neighbor, scrabble whiz. Artist. Eunice died last year at 108, ready to go. Monday at Mark Humpal’s gallery, formerly the 12×16 Gallery, friends, students, family, neighbors gathered to talk about her out loud to each other for one last time. Those comments, those images, aren’t on this page today.
Roger Hull and I met Eunice years ago…She kindly let me show my work with her’s at 12×16 Gallery in 2009. Roger interviewed her several times for the PNAA (Pacific Northwest Art Archive), housed at Willamette University. There was much to be said Monday, and there is much more to be said about her work as an artist and teacher, but today I just feel like remembering the lively, lovely person.
Here with Cary Doucette who spearheaded her career reboot at 12×16 Gallery in the early 2000’s…
Here with the wonderful Phyllis Johanson…

Lovely story! Sent from my iPhone
Hi Frankie…xxoo.
I didn’t know her or her work but you’ve done a lovely piece about your friend.
Thanks Jo, an absolute firecracker.
Thank you, Bonnie. Craig Klyver
Looking forward to seeing your work, at last, in April. xo
