September–October events
I have a painting in a Hood River show through September 28th, there’s a Portland Open Studios Preview Party 6-8 pm (everyone is invited, kid friendly) at Ford Gallery in Portland on Sep. 27th, and my studio will be open two weekends in October (10/11-12 & 10/18-19) for the 2025 Portland Open Studios. Details below.

100 beautiful pastels by 66 artists, get yourself to Hood River before Sep. 28 if you can. This show is really worth seeing. CAC is open Wed.-Sun, 12-5 and during events. www.columbiaarts.org
Portland Open Studios Preview Show and Party
Saturday, September 27, 6 to 8 pm
Ford Gallery
2505 SE 11th Ave | Portland, Oregon
PDX-Open Studios runs the 2nd and 3rd weekends of October (my studio will be open!), if you’d like a sneak peek, each participating artist will have one piece of art at this event. It’s a way to see work in person rather than as just a small image before visiting studios in October. There will also be a DJ, wine and beer available for purchase, food and non-alcoholic beverages available at no charge. Everyone is invited, please plan to come by and take a look. Portland Open Studios Preview Party
October 11, 12, 18 and 19, 10–4 each day

I’m in the Sellwood neighborhood, please come visit! I’ll have easels set up if you want to experience making marks with pastels. I’ll have different papers and pastels out, so you can see some of the supplies I use. There will also be paintings, greeting cards and other items to browse.
