Northwest Designer
Craftsmen
N WDC has a rich legacy as one of the founding groups of what became America's Studio Movement. The Studio Movement is what the Arts & Crafts Movement evolved into after mass manufacturing won out over hand-crafted production. I am proud to be a member of this historic group that is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of contemporary art, while upholding the heritage of the hand-crafted in an over mechanized world. I am honored to be in the company of an amazing group of artists and craftspeople.

Roycroft Renaissance
Master Artisan
 As a Master Artisan of the Roycroft Renaissance, I have the honor and distinction of working to uphold an important part of America's artistic legacy, as well as the responsibility to keep alive the spirit of art as manifested throughout the ages. It is a rare opportunity and I see it as a great responsibility.

"Creating paintings and interiors that fire the imagination, stir the deepest emotions, inspire the soul, and offer new things to explore upon each viewing is the most gratifying and satisfying thing I can do with my art."

With Thanksgiving this week, it seems a fitting time for us to send a newsletter and say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our clients, vendors, supporters and friends who have kept us really busy most of this year.
Our families are 3000 miles away and we won't see them this holiday season. We'll be spending Thanksgiving with close friends and visiting with their son who will be coming home from his freshman year of college--at least we're all telling ourselves he'll want to see us rather than spend his entire short vacation with his friends! We're hoping to have some time to make visits to other friends as well. There are so many of us here in Portland who are far far away from our families. It's always nice at the holiday time when we join together to celebrate our transplanted traditions.

We hope you are spending Thanksgiving with people important in your life.
We wish you all the best!

The Nature of Balance:
A Metaphor for Life
 For most of this year, I have been in the studio creating new mixed media paintings supported by a Project Grant awarded by the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
The concept of balance is the primary theme I am exploring in this work. Many spiritual traditions speak of balance as the underlying principle of the universe.  I've been investigating the relationship of 2 & 3 dimensional designs, combining sculpture, painting, & technical craft to create works of art that have the luminosity of cellular enameling & stained glass.
Everyone is invited to the opening reception of my exhibit
which will include four highly intricate and detailed paintings that I've created during the grant cycle. These will hang alongside a selection of other recent paintings, which will help demonstrate the evolution of my technique.
Opening Reception: First Friday, December 6th, 5pm-8pm
Olympic Mills Commerce Center
107 SE Washington St., Portland
On exhibit: December 2nd - January 3rd
Supported in part by a grant from:
