I come from an artistic family. My father is a well known artist in southern India, and encouraged me to develop my artistic skills from a young age. I moved to Portland in 1997 and Portland has become my home away from home. I was focused on raising a family, but I am now dedicating my time to paint once again. I enjoy the scenic beauty of Oregon where I often capture photographs to paint.
I have experience painting in watercolors,acrylic and oil , but now mainly I work on watercolor and acrylic. My paintings are often inspired by the beauty of nature and my Indian culture. Aside from painting, I often use my creative skills to decorate for local cultural events.

Lee Smith

Artist Lee Smith combines abstract, primitive, expressionist, and gritty contemporary art in her work. “My style is greatly influenced by years spent in CGI production and an unapologetic love for the daily comics,” says Lee. As a keen observer, she finds her inspiration in the social aspects of life. In her long professional career, Lee has worked as a newspaper layout artist, a visual merchandising specialist, a freelance graphic artist, a technical illustrator, and an art director. Lee retired from the corporate world ten years ago to concentrate on her art career. “Although I studied art in college, I prefer to describe myself as ‘self-taught.’ Years of irreplaceable hands-on experience have provided an extensive and invaluable continuing education in the arts,” says Lee.

Gordon Campbell

Gordon Campbell Artist Statement & Bio

My mosaic art differs from most because I use linoleum and vinyl floorcovering as my medium. Since my pieces mostly consist of discontinued samples & discarded materials, I must create my images using a limited range of color on my “palette”. That is a challenge I enjoy, putting these materials to a new and creative use.
It becomes art and a form of recycling, rather than landfill!

I graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in the Building Industry and spent my adult working life as a homebuilding contractor and later as a kitchen designer. I have had classes in oil & acrylic painting, architectural and mechanical drawing, but my mosaics are the result of self-teaching. I have been creating mosaics for over 15 years.

My art has been displayed at the following galleries and shows: Lake Oswego Festival of Arts and Flowers; Oregon Society of Artists Gallery-Portland; Valley Art Gallery-Forest Grove; Village Arts-Cedar Mill; Beaverton Art Mix; Sequoia Galley-Hillsboro; Turner Creek Boutique -Hillsboro; Beaverton City Hall; Hillsboro-various City facilities; Intel JF3&5, HF2-Hillsboro; Anne Ami Vineyards-Carlton; Brookwood Library-Hillsboro; Primary Elements Gallery-Cannon Beach; Reser Center for the Arts-Beaverton; Grey Raven Gallery-Beaverton; Celebration of Creativity-Beaverton

Hello just your friendly neighborhood artist trying to make it by in the world ♥️

Amy Stoner

I love to have fun. Make art. Play with color. I also love to make things with wood + wax + paper.

From carving a relief woodblock, pulling a print on the press to applying layers of molten beeswax, I find joy in bringing disparate elements together to create unique, colorful compositions to brighten people’s days and environments.

My work is very process-oriented – that first mark of the brush or pen opens a flood gate of other ideas that pour out onto the canvas. I let my inner psyche speak to me about what it wants to say, creating varied pieces of color, texture, and line. Always colorful, always graphic, they are the best “language” I have with which to speak to the world.

My studio is located in Portland, Oregon in my backyard. I can walk out among my flowers and weird garden art and them immerse in making just a few steps from my home. It’s pretty awesome and I am so grateful.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Theater Arts from the University of Oregon (1998). I have been a professional working artist since 2000 and have exhibited and sold my work nationally. I have had my work professionally published in both books, magazines, and instructional videos.

I am currently represented by Grey Raven Gallery (Beaverton, OR).

Cherie Savoie Tintary

Cherie Savoie Tintary
I have been cutting it up since 2020 as Kitschy Collagist . Before becoming a collage artist, I was a photographer who shot 35mm film. I studied historic photo processes and traveled to England and upstate New York for workshops, visiting the birth places of photography.
I studied photography and art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California from 2006-2011, while I worked my full time job as a hairstylist. Ten years ago I relocated to Forest Grove, Oregon from Southern California.
During the pandemic I had a health condition that lead me to change my medium to analog collage and I never looked back. Occasionally, I incorporate my photographs into my collage. I also incorporate found or family photos as well. All my materials are second hand, using magazines from 1890-1980. Vintage imagery and yesteryears’ ephemera make people smile and spark memories for my viewers.
I have found a connection with the collage community in Oregon and Washington. I’m part of several collectives. The one I’m most active in is the PNW Collage Collective. We have meet ups and do group art shows. We had a group show at Powells in June. I participated in an Exquisite Corpse group show that was at the Lewis and Clark Community Center in June as well.
I will be showing at the Hillsboro Civic Center in November called “Second Glances” and “Curio” at The Reser Nov/Dec
I turned fifty this year, so my new works are about nostalgia for the place I grew up, places I have traveled, and creative places collage has allowed me to venture to.

Artist Statement:

I see the world through the eyes of an intuitive seeker, expressing deep and varied themes of spirit and its powerful energies.

I delight in exploration of a wide variety of mediums and frequently mix media. I work in acrylic, collage, alcohol ink. Painterly collage is an intuitive process which involves assembling and repurposing a variety of materials.

April Hoff

Self-proclaimed eclectic pop-conceptual artist and writer preferring to find beauty in the obvious, the mundane, the grotesque, and the overlooked. As a person with ADHD, limiting to a particular medium or subject is impractical. I have an interdisciplinary studio fine arts degree and have been making art professionally since 2005 and teaching art for a living since 2016. Children and adults take classes in various mediums through the business, Artingales, with multiple methods of printmaking being one priority.

More information

  1. Work must be displayed in any geometric format no larger than 12 x 12, even if framed. Squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, pentagons, whatever.
  2. Max 3 lbs and 6 inch depth for each hanging work. Test your hung work to make sure the weight or depth does not cause it to face downward unless that’s your intention. It will still need to remain within its max 12 x 12 x 6 boundary.
  3. Delivered work must be ready to hang or display. (no taped on or stapled wire) Test wire strength by hanging the piece on your thumb and bouncing your hand a few times. Did it break loose from your frame or snap? It is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it and fit size requirements. 💜 This year you may also use Command strips if your work is flat enough to contact the wall the entire surface of the strip. You must supply the full set attached and ready to go with only the wall-side needing to be peeled. And we thank you because it will mean less patching and painting we have to do 🙂
  4. 3D work limited to 12 x 12 x 12 and 10 lbs. Must be ready to display and not easily tipped.
  5. No reproductions except for bin work and cards. Original photography, printed graphic design, video stills, hand pulled printmaking, etc. qualify as original work the same as other traditional mediums.

If you’re not sure how work is supposed to be displayed, check out the Artist Resources.

Email an image of your work as soon as you can!
If you already registered and have images of work that will be in the show, email them. Those received early may be placed in print advertising, those received later may only make it to web based publication if there is time to share. 97116artshow@gmail.com

Your very important artist number must be on all pieces. You will receive your artist number shortly after submissions close. Your sales will be processed through this number and each piece must have it on the back. You are welcome to let the labels serve the purpose on pieces large enough, otherwise add your number to a hang tag. Artist numbers won’t be assigned until November 1st, after registration closes.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS 👀 Fill out the Spreadsheet )
You will need an artist number for your labels, it will be assigned Nov 1st. You will also need to complete this Google Form with all information in order for your work to be insured while on display. We need one paper label securely affixed to the back of your work, and a full set filled, cut, and provided at drop-off so we can use them to match show cards. You will also be emailed these Word and PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. Bin work needs labels too, but cards may have a sticker with artist name, artist number, and price. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work.

Right to Refuse: 97116 Art Show and its volunteers reserve the right to refuse work that is not ready to display or does not meet size requirements. We also reserve the right to determine work is not suitable for general audiences.

LIABILITY: All possible care will be taken with your work while installing the show. However,
97116 Art Show and its volunteers will assume no liability for damage or loss. By delivering your work, you acknowledge agreement to this and the following Pacific University policy.

Pacific University’s insurance policy covers the Works while on campus for display in the Cawein Gallery. In order to guarantee coverage, exhibitors must supply value information for the Works submitted, regardless of whether or not the art is offered for sale. Exhibitor bears the risk of damage to or loss of the Works until the Works have been delivered to, mounted and accepted by Pacific University.

 How do I properly wire a canvas?

You’ll have to click this picture to see the video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/1xqlzSXP59I?t=35

or
https://youtu.be/LBnqLeEiI2k

Some people use the great hack of gluing wire with E6000 when the back is an alternative surface. Another option when we’re accepting 3D work is to provide an easel (labeled with your name for return) and  we’ll display the piece on a table.

If you have another way that is secure and IS NOT any of the following: sawtooth hanger, keyhole, *taped on, or weakly stapled, go for it. *For 2023 it is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it. Only matted without frame work may be hung with these tabs since that work is lightweight and shallow.

How should 3D work be prepared?

3D work should be stable with wide enough footing that it isn’t easily tipped. It should stay within the dimensions listed in the Call for Submissions or Artist Guidelines. It’s also important to make sure the piece is not likely to unwittingly injure a person.

May I use a pseudonym?

Yes, you may. Register with your actual name because that’s how we pay you. Then feel free to email your pseudonym from the same address and we’ll list you in the exhibit that way. You’ll fill out your own show cards with the pseudonym.
