It’s been four years since the sculptor Robert Hess died and I’ve been thinking about him this week. I thought maybe I’d republish this blog post I wrote at the time of his death because I still appreciate him and miss him, I can still hear his funny, hearty voice, and I like the thought […]
We went to see Malia Jensen’s new show at Elizabeth Leach this morning (up until October 29th) with Sidney…he came with us to her show last year (“Homey” at Weiden & Kennedy) and loved the fox lamp and the seal and the giant cockroach…here’s a review of Sidney’s favorites from 2015… The show at Elizabeth […]
Well this gallery gig is interesting and fun, but goodness a month comes around fast! Thursday Dayna, Tory and I put up the new show, “Just Tulips”, and lest you think it’s ALL work, check us out…(these two are a little scary…) Dayna went BOLD… Tory went whimsical…(this one sold already!!) and this one is […]
Friday night was the opening of the two summer shows at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art here in Salem. The BIG summer show is the work of Portland sculptor Mel Katz, with also the very fine show of drawings by artists Christy Wyckoff and Tom Prochaska. Mel Katz was to speak at 5:00 but […]

We were in DC at the Smithsonian Archive of American Art (more about that soon) researching Portland painter Louis Bunce. […]

The project is underway at the library right now, with hopes to have it ready and open this December. As part of the project, the Foundation asked Salem sculptor Kristin Kuhns […]
I’m thinking I should change the name of the blog to “On the Move” after this week. We headed up the Gorge passing Multnomah Falls, and stopping at Boda’s Kitchen (thank you George) in Hood River for a quick and delicious lunch before crossing the bridge at The Dalles and heading east on beautiful highway […]

Portland Art day…had to pick up my birthday painting…a little painting by David Selleck called “Doplar Radar” which totally cracks me up (you’d have to know my family and their love of weather reporting)… and then on to see Lee Kelly at Elizabeth Leach…and they are handsome, but we were completely beguiled by the platforms […]
