Here are some images assembled. Sally Judd (Lawrence) did a lot to keep Clifford working and alive at the end of his life, and it was at her gallery in Portland we first met him n the 1970’s. Too bad we didn’t ask him the “big” questions: Clifford in about 1977 the young Clifford with […]

The “Hullabaloo”
What a weekend. The Roger Hull retirement festival (known here at home as the “Hullabaloo”) provided pure fun, reunions with friends and family, a tear or two, a nice goodbye. Well not goodbye really…his curatorial career continues…but goodbye to the classroom. As I stood in the back of the packed room I did reflect […]
CAP Auction
Tonight we blasted up to Portland to the Cascade Aids Project auction. Roger was the juror for the live auction section of the evening, and it was a lively event. Valet parking, perfect. Entrance into old warehouse building complete with boiler and wine, and nicely tagged pipes over by the hors d’oeuvres: and then the […]
Roger and George
George Johanson has been painting Roger’s portrait. The painting will be unveiled on May 7th here in Salem at the “Hullabaloo” celebrating Roger’s 40 years of teaching. Yesterday we went up to Portland to check progress on the painting. Since I’m sworn to secrecy, I had to, well—OBSCURE– some aspects of the painting. Like all […]
Where I’ve Been lately…
In a word…”STUDIO.” My show opens May 7th, and today I found out they added a new wall to the gallery. As the first Artist in Residence it’s kind of a race to see how much work I can produce in the allotted time. Stay tuned for that. Those of you who know me know […]
LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: Carolyn Schneider and “The Lost Coast”
Sunday was another sunny day and we headed north across the Golden Gate to Fort Bragg (about 10 miles north of Mendocino). They call it the “Lost Coast” for reasons I don’t know but it IS a hike–four hours from any airport etc. It rained and poured the day I was there so I have […]
Living the Creative Life: Roger Hull
Roger Hull has conducted a creative academic life at Willamette University for 40 years, arriving from Chicago in 1970. For 34 of those years he’s held forth in the building at the corner of State and Winter streets. This spring he’s closing down shop in the art building, and beginning to shift his thinking to […]
First Thursday…
Up to Portland for a street car ride from the south waterfront to the Pearl, dinner at Silk and then over to Blackfish Gallery for the Paul Missal/Nancy Lindburg/Bill Owen show. It has now been officially confirmed…if I’m schmoozing I can’t take good pictures. But, here you go. The show was mostly Paul and featured […]
Clay Ball!!
Last night was the big fund-raising “Clay Ball” for Salem Art Association. In these hard times for non-profits it was more important than ever for this community to come out to support the arts…and the place was packed. We arrived a little late to the silent auction area just in time to see the end […]
April Waters
Last night was the opening of a show of large portraits of contemporary women leaders painted by Salem artist April Waters. She’s been working on the paintings since 2006 when she began with a portrait of activist Cindy Sheehan after visiting Sheehan’s Texas encampment. Each portrait is over six feet high and they are quite […]
