Thursday was Sidney day and though it had a fort in it… it was more about trains… Harry was playing… but we got dressed and headed out… this week to Eutectic Gallery to see the “Nasty Women” show…interesting from the perspective of one who has no cultural perspective… or rather, from one who has a […]
We were heading to Eugene and wanted to see Clay Lohman’s installation “Camo Cubes” at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon. Parking is very limited and we had heard that we might apply for “movie star” parking due to my knee recuperation..What a delight to drive up and find… We […]
I guess if you have read this blog a time or two you know that looking at art is a major part of my universe. Just reviewing this past week, I see all the ways art enlivens my own life and thinking and experience, and I hope this is true for you too. As we […]

This show opened November 5th and will run until January 29th…only overlapping with […]

Today for me was a day of beginnings and endings… Kay Worthington and I spoke today at Chemeketa Community College at the third quilt show we have produced together. Last year we were invited by Tim Timmerman to show at George Fox University Gallery in the fall. This year we were invited by Laura Mack […]
I like the two shows at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this fall. Today we went to hear Collections Curator Jonathan Bucci talk about the Russell Childers show of wood carvings that Bucci curated and that is on view at the Museum until the end of October. If you haven’t seen the Childers yet […]
