Jenene Nagy‘s work “Slope” was one of the first works I saw at the Open Studios opening at the Troy Laundry building this weekend. 20+ artists are having open studios. I always like going into studios to see finished work and work in progress and partial ideas. It is also a great time to meet [...]

This Saturday, the group show “Construct/Re-Construct” opened at the Cathedral Park Building in St Johns. This exhibition was organized by Portland artist/curator Rhoda London.

Affair at the Jupiter, it keeps building. It felt good, it felt creative. I showed up at 5 minutes before the official end of the opening party to get a quick preview. Jahn, PORT, mentioned it was a nice sedate opening, with more serious collectors than partiers. While serious is good, a nice transition to [...]

At Tom Cramer‘s impressive 2005 show at the Mark Woolley Gallery, I really wanted to buy. ok…fast forward.

After looking several of the galleries again, I [...]
