Kimberly Henry – Painting

I’ve been creating with anything I can get my hands on since I was very little. I’ve been showing and selling my work since high school and fell in love with painting portraits of flowers on canvas. After moving to the area in 2016, I wanted to find a way to stand out amongst the plethora of amazing artists in the PNW, I started painting on wine glasses and figured out how to create art that could be appreciated up close and in every day life. I am always working on new ideas and love that I’m able to paint small things with big benefits and help bring a sense of peace and calm in a chaotic world.

Gretchen O’Brien – Sculpture

Gretchen has been growing and sculpting bonsai for 25 years at this location. This is influenced by her lifelong interest in growing plants, starting when she was in high school. Gretchen sold her sculpted bonsai for 5 years starting in the second year that the Portland Farmers’ Market was originally under the Burnside Bridge. She eventually took some time out to raise a family of 6 children but never stopped growing plants during this period.

Gretchen is the host of Studio #10

Kevin Jesequel – Wood

I stumbled into woodturning in the summer of 2020. I quickly became a member of several woodturning organizations that had educational elements that allowed be to become “self-taught” at a time when in-person meetings were non-existent. When my mother passed away suddenly in the fall of 2020, I took an interest in hollow vessels with the intention of making an urn. I have now made hundreds of hollow forms and have even received international recognition for them, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready to make that urn.

Jennifer Rainwater – Painting

I am a fairly new artist, which came to light during Covid, after losing my job and moving to Colorado, where my roommate was an artist. I started painting in his studio- I wanted to bring color to people during a difficult time and help people who can’t afford the high-dollar pieces but still bring beauty to their home.

Most of my work is Acrylic Fluid Art on canvas with a few pieces on tiles and some Contemporary Geometric Art as well.

All Artists Studio #7 Wood

Daniel McMurry – Wood

Living and moving a great deal around the Pacific Northwest of America for the majority of my youth, I developed a keen sense of both outer and inner relationship between myself and nature. I am drawn at once to both the natural world and to my own inner psyche.

I set about from an early age to try and capture the essences, layers and duality of living in both these worlds simultaneously. As I progressed through school and graduated from Linfield University with an Art and Creative writing double major, I was constantly seeking to capture these energies and layers and present them through various mediums, graphite, pen and ink, intaglio etchings, poetry, paintings in acrylic and oil and my deepest love, carving wood.

My art tends to be auto-biographical and mostly symbolic, with a mixture of natural references and metaphoric or even existential imagery. It encompasses my time passing and all that implies, birth, death, marriage, divorce, success, failure… the changing of the seasons.

I like to think that my art delivers meaning on various levels at once, and I enjoy creating images that have subtle, almost hidden symbology and story– so that the viewer will be drawn in and hopefully receive a personal connection by interpreting in their own way the images they find.

Dale Larson – Wood

I have been turning wood for 47 years. I turn mostly woods from trees here in the northwest. Some are native like Big Leaf Maple and Pacific Madrone, and some are planted here like Walnut and Apple. Turning bowls and other things out of wood from trees that grew in this area directly connects me to the land around me. Most of my wood comes from trees that have died or been taken down for some reason. I get many calls from people who are sad they’ve had to take down a tree that died or had to be removed for another reason. They just don’t want to burn their tree and want to know if something can be made from it.

Turning wood brings balance to my life. I get to deal with nice people and pretty wood. And I know the bowls I turn will be around in someone’s home for many years, hopefully being used every day. Coming from the farm, most of my woodturnings need to be functional. I simply appreciate that something I made with my hands is being used and enjoyed by someone.

And I believe that an artist has a duty to teach his/her craft to the next generation. Woodturning has been around for 5-7000 years. I am just a short continuation of a long history of woodturning.

Robin McDonald – Ceramics

I create hand-built vessels using a mid range white clay and fire them in my electric kiln to cone6. I use stencils and textures from commercial products and found objects to create an interesting surface on the clay and to enhance the basic shape. Glazing can happen at both the greenware stage and the bisque stage. My goal is to create an appealing vessel that can be used, but can also be purely decorative.

Ellie Purvis – Wood & Epoxy

Ellie begins each piece by cutting the wood to size, flattening it, and removing all the bark and inclusions. She then lays the wood out in a mold, mixes a clear liquid resin with a hardener, and adds various pigments and mica powders for color and shimmer. She pours the resin into the mold and it fills in all the voids and cracks in the wood. As the resin thickens over about 30 hours, Ellie checks in frequently to add more colors and swirl in designs. After it’s fully cured and removed from the mold she moves on to the power tools and cuts, planes, sands, drills, and then sands some more – often up to 10,000 grit. Finally, a food safe oil and wax mixture is applied to add protection, bring out the grain of the wood, and add a satin finish to the resin.

Bonnie Moore – Watercolor

I primarily paint using watercolors. I will use salt, coffee grounds, saran wrap, ect. to create special effects. I like to use a variety of papers and art blocks to give different looks. My desire is to create unique art that will draw a person in to the piece. This is accomplished by using line, dramatic lights and darks, and color’s. I enhance reality to draw in a persons eye.

Ron Purvis – Wood

Experience leaves marks.

There are pressures we face in life, both externally and from that little voice in our head. My work reflects the impact of those stressors, producing texture and patina on ourselves while we strive to find balance and preserve our essence. My work represents the pursuit of contentment, knowing that these tensions are a permanent part of our journey.

I’ve been working with wood across many different forms for 35 years. I first turn wood on a lathe and carve it into shape with chisels. I turn the wood to 1/8 of an inch thick.  Voids are created by hand using a high-speed carver. Black texture is added through stippling using a wire-tipped wood burner. In specific cases, I’ll add paint or metal leaf for additional color and character. Depending on the size and complexity, the time to complete a piece varies between 15 – 80 hours.
