Living the Creative Life: Nan Happ
Nan is a woman of many talents, a person who has reinvented herself several times since I first met her…children’s librarian, crafts person, retailer extraordinaire. I showed up for coffee today and at the spur of the moment she let me take photos of some of the collections she lives with daily (but we hadn’t […]
Living the Creative Life: Jonathan Bucci
Jonathan’s day job is as collections curator at the HFMA, but in his REAL life he’s an artist. We did a studio visit to see the rest of the oregano series (one currently on view in the Mayor’s Invitational) and see the new work, both two and three dimensional. Jonathan has converted the garage into […]
Happy Birthday to Sharon…
Last night we went to Jim & Carol’s for Sharon’s birthday. It was a festive and fun evening, friends, plenty of laughing and all in the separate world along Mill Creek. Absolutely lovely. Gifts of course: Off she goes, into another year with a new studio, a semester off, and…????

LIVING THE CREATIVE LIFE: MARTHA CURRY
Martha Curry has been working as an interior designer since 1980. Today I sat in her beautiful and serene house, and she talked about the design process, her own strengths…one of which is her amazing eye (“that’s what I have to sell–my eye”), her methods of working with clients. Her well-edited home interior makes me […]
Living the Creative Life: Nancy Lindburg
Nancy Lindburg is a remarkable person. In her public career at the Salem Art Association and the Oregon Arts Commission, she worked tirelessly to promote the notion of regional arts in a region that sometimes undervalues its own. She saw to it that many many artists had a chance to be included in the “process” […]
A Great Bike Ride…
We were up in White Salmon over the weekend visiting Jennifer and George and Fanny and on Sunday we took a pretty stunning bike ride on the Oregon side…from Hood River to Mosier on the old Columbia RiverHwy built 1913-1922. We rode up a “gentle incline” ( as per Jennifer…I almost collapsed, but if even […]
