Sue Franklin: silver metal clay, fine silver wire -14
Artist’s Statement: I’m a fine silver jewelry artist, be it metal clay or fine silver wire. I’m a gardener at heart and grow many of the plants I use in my art. I love how metal clay takes leaf and flower impressions so well and being each is unique, in turn, each jewelry piece is unique. The colors of nature are reflected in the stones I use greens, blues, browns and pops of pinks and purples. I love the process of designing and refining each piece. I kiln fire each item for maximum strength. The process of fusing fine silver wire into chains is meditative to me. I add texture and stones for contrast with the silver. I love creating and, as with nature, there’s always something new to see and learn.

Linda Gerrard: fused glass -12
Artist’s Statement: I design and make all of my kiln formed glass pieces in my home studio using large sheets of hand cut glass as well as crushed glass frit. My ideas come from the beauty of nature that surrounds us, my husband’s photography, and our travels. You’ll see a variety of landscapes to hang on your wall or display in stands. Depending on the desired effect, I layer & arrange the glass & use multiple firings to create depth. Controlling temperature & kiln time allows pieces to be smooth and have soft, or strong, texture. To keep my designs current and interesting, I am constantly learning & challenging myself to try new techniques. Each piece take from 5 days to weeks to make. Delighting my customer with beautiful art is so gratifying.

Amy Mower: collage, acrylic, vintage ephemera -16
Artist’s Statement: I draw inspiration from vintage periodicals and books. I find the issues we struggled with as a culture 50 to 80 years ago are still relevant today. I like to combine images to create alternate realities to bring the past and present together. I sometimes combine other media to provide texture, color, and develop a cohesive image that tells a story. I hope to move people to laugh, think, and ask questions.

Cherie Savoie Tintary: collage, photography, assemblage -16
Artist’s Statement: I have been cutting it up in Forest Grove since 2020 as Kitschy Collagist. Before becoming a collage artist, I was a photographer who shot 35mm film. I studied photography and art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California from 2006-2011. During the pandemic I had a health condition that led me to change my medium to analog collage and I never looked back. Occasionally, I incorporate my photographs and/or found photographs into my collage. All my materials are second hand, using magazines from 1890-1980. I do not lift anything off the internet. I create tunnel books by carving out the book and then adding collage to them. I also love to collage on 3D mannequins.

Jennifer Price: ceramics, pastels -15
Artist’s Statement: My making process often starts with research and sketches of ideas that interest me. Then as I make the form in clay, I reflect on what develops and make changes as I interact with the form. It often feels like a dance. All my work is created in my home studio and fired a couple of times to a final Cone 6 (around 2,200°F). I often create ceramic sculptures that express human emotions through animal forms. Each piece captures a unique stance and often incorporates humor, inviting introspection. I also create functional ware like bowls and mugs decorated with bright colors and images that interest me. I believe art is a powerful tool which connects us to ourselves, our world and each other.

Kellelynne H Riley: photography collage, aluminum prints, small scale glasswork -10
Artist’s Statement: My work explores the ways nature softens and reclaims the things we leave behind. Rundown cityscapes, agricultural museums, even the serial numbers on a dumpster – my life is an ongoing scavenger hunt for rusted paint and evocative textures. This ongoing fascination has given me a portfolio of source images that allows for endless experimentation in reclaiming the forgotten. I combine and layer my photographs into complex compositions, along with scans of vintage objects. Simultaneously detailed and imperfect, a bit grungy, my work is an expression of color, texture, and pattern.

Rebecca Gerendasy: ceramics and sculpture -13
Artist’s Statement: As a ceramic artist, I have been working primarily with terra-cotta, creating sculptural and functional pieces. As a continuation from my former career as a video journalist, story often plays an important role in either the form’s shape or how it is decorated. I roll out slabs and coils, hollow out solid-made forms, and pull these together into an object before adding to its surface. The resulting pieces are sometime useful, other times they are purely for the sake of beauty or they bring a smile to you – both are important functions! I continue to express my love of color through these objects and I hope they will brighten your day.

Victoria Shaw: ceramics, sculpture, and mosaics -17
Artist’s Statement: As a Pacific Northwest native I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Marylhurst University before developing an interest in ceramics. After taking a class from Patrick Horsley, clay became my lifelong love. In 1980 I returned to the academic world, earning both a Bachelor and a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts at the University of Oregon. My work derives inspiration from “the still, small voice within,” and my sculptures speak about a collective spiritual vision. I live and teach Ceramics in Portland, Oregon. You are welcome to my studio.

Loren Wilson: woodcraft –11
Artist’s Statement: I started making jewelry boxes while living in Hawaii because I wanted a nice koa box and could not afford to buy a commercial one. For more than 40 years I have continued to work with wood for the enjoyment of creating beautiful and unique pieces for friends and family.

Fred Gerendasy: archival pigment prints –13
Artist’s Statement: I studied photography in college. For several years, I also had my own darkroom where I processed and printed from my film negatives. Gradually, life pointed me elsewhere but I still took many pictures over the years. About 4 years ago, I became serious again about my photography. I work now in the digital realm without film or the need for a darkroom, I make my fine art pigment prints with a computer & an inkjet printer. I like to shoot landscapes and abstract images. Often my pictures are of urban settings or that showcase the beauty of nature. During the editing process, I strive to convey a sense of light and of feeling – a soul, drawn out of an image.
