SUMMARY:Sara Bennett at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Sara Bennett\, Life After Life in Prison: The Bedroom Project \nFebruary 6–March 1\, 2020 \nFirst Thursday opening reception: February 6\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nPanel Discussion: Saturday\, February 8\, 3:00 PM\nwith artist Sara Bennett and representatives from Mercy Corps NW’s Prison and Re-Entry Services\, YMCA of Greater Portland’s Family Preservation Project\, and Open Hearts Open Minds’ Theatre at Coffee Creek \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\nAll Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nThe twenty-one women photographed by Sara Bennett in The Bedroom Project were all convicted of serious crimes— mostly homicide—and spent fourteen to thirty-seven years in a maximum-security prison. By the time they came up for parole they were all profoundly changed\, yet most of them were repeatedly denied release because of the crimes they had committed decades earlier. \nBennett writes\, “these women were open and trusting enough to allow me into their most private spaces—their bedrooms—and to share the comments that accompany the photos. Like me\, they hope this work will shed light on the pointlessness of extremely long sentences and arbitrary parole denials\, and thus help their friends still in prison: women (and men) like them who deserve a chance at freedom.” \nThe Bedroom Project is the second in the Life After Life in Prison series. It has been featured at The FENCE 2018\, Photoville 2018\, the 10th International Organ Vida Photography Festival\, the 2018 Indian Photography Festival\, and PDN’s Photo of the Day\, among others. This project was also a Top 50 finalist in the 2018 Critical Mass competition. \nSara Bennett has been a public defender specializing in domestic violence and the wrongly convicted. She draws attention to the problems of mass incarceration through her photographs of women who have served decades in prison. Her work has been featured in The New York Times\, PBS News Hour/Art Beat\, PDN Photo of the Day\, and the Marshall Project\, and has exhibited in a variety of venues including universities\, galleries\, the courthouse at 60 Center Street\, the Legislative Building in Albany\, and the Museum at the Eastern Correctional Facility in Philadelphia. \n

SUMMARY:Bill Haynes at PhotoZone Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Bill Haynes\, In The Moment \nFebruary 6 to March 3\, 2020\nReception: February 7 5:00pm to 8:00pm \nPhotoZone Gallery\n22 West 7th Ave.\nEugene\, Oregon\n541-683-0759\n12:00 to 6:00 pm daily\nmztphotography@comcast.net\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nOpen to the public \n“Any form of photography is of interest to me\, but I especially like candid shots of people\, particularly in black and white. People’s moods and actions are best captured when they are unaware and they are best amplified when color is removed and just the basics remain. This collection demonstrates that. As you look at the images\, put yourself in their place and feel what they feel. Elation\, trepidation\, concentration\, reflection – all are there and more.” -Bill Haynes \n“Photography has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliot Erwitt \nPresented by the PhotoZone Gallery\, a collection of diverse individuals interested in the art and craft of photography. A wide variety of skills are valued which range from masters of silver print\, platinum/Palladium\, gum bichromate\, etc.\, to enthusiasts of digital production. Many kinds of work are welcome\, including hand-colored\, airbrush\, 3-D\, collage\, HDR\, portraiture\, street photography\, nature photography\, abstract expression\, mixed media\, and the list goes on. \nPresented by\nPhotoZone Gallery\n22 West 7th Ave Eugene\, Oregon\nhttps://www.photozonegallery.com/\nphotozonegalleryoregon@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at Chehalem Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers \nJan. 14\, 2020 – Feb. 28\, 2020\nOpening reception Friday\, Feb. 7\, 5 – 8pm \nCentral Gallery\nChehalem Cultural Center\n415 E. Sheridan St.\nNewberg\, OR 97132\nhttps://www.chehalemculturalcenter.org/\n503-487-6883\nOpen Tues-Sat 9am – 6pm \n“The Land Remembers” features 35 black-and-white infrared photographs by Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman that revisit the terrain of Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Wars of 1851-56. \nBergeman said the goal of his two-year project was “to bring the historic conflict back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscapes that played host to those tragic events over 160 years ago.” \nDespite being one of the bloodiest and longest-running of Oregon’s Indian conflicts\, the Rogue River Wars are largely forgotten today. Fighting between local tribes and incoming miners and settlers festered and flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854 before erupting into all-out war involving the U.S. Army in 1855-56. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and the South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears.”\nDuring the reception on Feb. 7\, Grand Ronde tribal member Joseph Ham will perform a song he’s written about the wars. \nAn Oregonian since 1976\, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 70-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work throughout the since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind. \nHis portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com\, and in book form at blurb.com \n

SUMMARY:Martin Venezky at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Martin Venezky\, The New Machinery \nFebruary 1st – February 28th\, 2020\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, February 1st\, 4 PM – 5 PM\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, February 1st\, 5 PM – 6PM \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \nSan Francisco\, CA photographer\, Martin Venezky notes\, “The New Machinery is a form of photographic science fiction. The work references the barely visible mechanisms that surround our everyday life — sometimes as camouflaged presence\, often as digital software. Through this work I provide seductive and sinister physicality to the networks that charm their way into our lives while surveilling our movements and collecting our data. As we look at them\, they are most certainly looking back at us. \n“These images are pieced together from material and light studies that I perform on scavenged tools\, toys\, materials and appliances which I have disassembled. I am interested in how the camera crunches these small parts down further into gestures of light and structure. This generative process breaks apart the complicated act of seeing into small units — building blocks with which I construct large scale physical compositions.\n“Perhaps these machines have quietly evolved from mountains of discarded hardware. In the same way\, the image arises slowly as parts find each other and form relationships—an additive\, analog process that creates logic and narrative from the inside out. As a final crucial step\, I use the physical construction as a map to rebuild the image in a digital format\, crossing media once again to retranslate the image into a flattened\, stylized product. \n“I’ve labeled these mysterious contraptions The New Machinery as a nod towards the recycled materials and the machine-like logic in their creation and perception. Cobbled together from discarded utilitarian parts\, their presence invites inspection while their function remains inscrutable.” \nMartin Venezky is an artist based in San Francisco\, California. Throughout his career as a graphic designer\, Venezky has maintained a deep interest in photographic process and abstraction. For the past several years\, he has created new bodies of work in photography and photographic installation. \nVenezky has an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and an MFA in Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught at RISD and CalArts and\, for over 25 years\, at California College of the Arts in San Francisco\, where he is currently Professor in the Graduate Design Program. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art honored Venezky with a 2001 solo exhibition\, and his monograph\, It Is Beautiful…Then Gone\, was published by Princeton Architectural Press. In 2015 Venezky was inducted into the esteemed Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI). In 2018\, San Francisco’s Letterform Archive acquired an extensive collection of his work\, studies and process for their permanent collection. \nFor more information about exhibitions and past awards go www.martinvenezky.com

SUMMARY:Garry Winogrand:  All Things Are Photographable
DESCRIPTION:Garry Winogrand:  All Things Are Photographable\nPhotography at Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night \nJanuary 31\, 2020  6:30 to 8:00pm \nStudio 385\n385 West 2nd at Lawrence Street\nEugene\, Oregon\n(541) 521-9747\njon@studiomeyers.com\nFree-will donation \n“One of the rare art-world bio-docs that delivers the sensation of seeing a story unfold dramatically on screen”\n-The Hollywood Reporter \nBorn January 14\, 1928\, Garry Winogrand was destined to be a renowned poet of photography and American Life. Having grown up in the Bronx with his sister and immigrant parents\, He eventually brought his own unique vision to the genre of street photography. According to PBS American Masters he was “ ……the epic storyteller in pictures who harnessed the serendipity of the streets to capture the American 1960s-70s. His ‘snapshot aesthetic’ is now the universal language of contemporary image making.” Following an early career in freelance photojournalism and advertising\, his focus turned to a spontaneous capturing of U.S. life and revealed much of its social concerns in the mid-20th century. At one point in the mid ‘70s his portrayal of women caused a stir by his use of candid and rather questionable positions. Some critics at the time considered this work “vulgar”. However\, it didn’t seem to be a concern for him. Frank Van Riper of the Washington Post described him as “one of the greatest documentary photographers of his era” but added that he was “a blunt-spoken\, sweet-natured native New Yorker\, who had the voice of a Bronx cabbie and the intensity of a pig hunting truffles.” His second wife was even more specific: “….a flippant\, irresponsible\, nonsensical attitude….” \nAt the time of his death in March of 1984 at the age of 56\, Winogrand had 2500 rolls of undeveloped film\, 6500 rolls of developed but not proofed exposures\, and about 3000 rolls only realized as far as contact sheets being made. According to curator Tudy Wilner Stack\, his first wife claimed that “being married to Garry was like being married to a lens….. He was an obsessive picture-taking machine.” \nHe has received the following awards: \n1964\,1969 & 1979: Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\n1975: Fellowship from the Nationall Endowment for the Arts \nPresented by Photography at Oregon\nAdmission by Free-will Donation\nPopcorn Provided\nDiscussion encouraged

SUMMARY:Ken Robinson at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Ken Robinson\, Photographing the Natural World \nThe show will run from January 14 through March 12\nThere will be an artist reception on Friday\, January 17 from 4-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery\n2833 Willamette\, Ste. B.\nEugene\, Oregon 97405\n(541) 729-3572\nOpen Tuesday – Friday from 1-6\nCall for other times or to be sure we’re open.\npicmac1945@gmail.com\nhttps://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nKen Robinson is a former professor of biology from Purdue University who moved to Eugene upon retirement. In his research as a cell and developmental biologist\, a major tool was photography\, generally through the lens of microscope\, so that the responses of cells to various perturbations could be recorded and analyzed. \nIt was natural\, then\, that in retirement he extended his experience in photography to the macroscopic world. He quickly formed a love for eastern Oregon and its high desert country. Much of his work consists of landscapes from there\, as well as from southern Utah\, Colorado and New Mexico. \nIn addition to landscapes\, he also photographs wildlife\, including birds\, bees\, spiders\, turtles and dragonflies. He tries to show these creatures in interesting scenes in their natural context. \nHe also has an interest in astronomy and uses ordinary camera lenses to photograph the night sky. Included in these are photographs of eclipses\, both lunar and solar\, the Milky Way\, meteors and the transits of Venus and Mercury across the sun. \n

SUMMARY:Ebenezer Galluzzo at Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Ebenezer Galluzzo\, As I Am \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, January 15\, 2020 Noon – 1 pm \nPortland Art Museum\nThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nJoin Ebenezer for a discussion on his most current work from the series\, “As I Am”\, a self-portrait series inspired by his personal journey of coming out as a trans man\, on view at Paragon Arts Gallery for the month of January. Ebenezer will talk about his use of photography as a way to question and unravel an imposed binary gender system while seeking new possibilities of existence through dynamic contradiction. He will share how he used objects\, color\, posture\, and symbols as a means to create photographs that honor the full existence of his trans identity. \nI am a gender non-conforming trans man\, mother\, and husband living in Portland\, Oregon. I view the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which I see the world and the world sees me. Photography is my tool to reveal my stories in counterbalance to the stories attached to me by external cultural forces. My portraits carry my artistic perspective on my trans experience. I celebrate and claim my own narrative. I extend my gratitude to the spaces that have highlighted my work through solo shows in Astoria and Portland\, including Paragon Art Gallery and Blue Sky Gallery\, as well as publication in Black.

SUMMARY:David Schaerer at Lovejoy Realty Office
DESCRIPTION:David Schaerer\, Razor Clamming Series \nJanuary 10 – February 14\, 2020\nOpening Reception – January 10 (5:00 – 8:00 P.M.) \nLovejoy Realty Office\n818 NW 14th Ave.\nPortland\, OR 97209\n503-501-2490\nHours: 8:00 – 5:00 M-F\nLovejoyRealEstate.com \nThe prints in this show combine two of my favorite passions – photography and razor clamming. Armed with a gun in one hand (albeit a clam gun) and a Nikon D850 camera in the other\, I’ve spent countless hours on Oregon’s Clatsop Spit documenting the antics of clam diggers over the past several years. I’m often torn between getting my limit of clams or taking pictures. On good days – I get both. Ultimately\, I intend to publish a fine art photography book on razor clamming that will include many of the images in this show. \nMy background as a photographer spans more than 50 years. Classically trained under Bernie Freemesser at the University of Oregon in the 1960s\, I then spent several years in the Monterey Peninsula where my work was influenced by Brett Weston\, Wynn Bullock\, and Ansel Adams. In 1972 I worked as a special assistant to Ansel Adams and later that year returned to Oregon where I was employed as a commercial photographer and photography instructor. \nThough my professional career was subsequently in the risk management sector\, I’ve continued my lifelong interest in photography. I’m a founding member of f/8 (a fine art photography group based in Portland)\, a member of Portland Photographers Forum\, a supporting member of LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, and a member of Blue Sky Gallery in Portland. My work has been published and exhibited in multiple regional venues.

SUMMARY:John Wimberley at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:John Wimberley\, Lone Grave Butte \nJanuary 4th – January 31st\, 2020\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, January 4th\, 4PM – 5PM\nOpen Reception: Saturday\, January 4th\, 5PM – 6PM \nCamerawork Gallery\n301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227\nLocated in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.\n9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pm\nFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessible\nwww.TheCameraworkGallery.org\nwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery\n503-701-5347\nEvent is free and open to the public \nAshland\, Oregon photographer\, John Wimberley notes\, “The northwestern edge of the Great Basin extends into southeastern Oregon. The very beautiful and remote region that I call Lone Grave Butte is perhaps unique in that it had a much higher population density when the abundant rock art was made than at present. At the time of first Euro-American contact it was populated by Northern Paiute people. But a wide diversity of rock art styles supports ethnographic and other evidence that the\nplace was a summer plant and root gathering resource for various peoples from the surrounding region. \n“The rock art depicted in this exhibition is situated along east-facing\, lichen covered basalt rims. During the afternoons the rims are in shade. Shiny surfaces reflect the blue northeast sky\, and matte surfaces are often tinted by golden\, smoky light from forest fires. They are situated in an exquisite\, minimalist high-desert landscape that once was forested. The land misses those people who were present for more than 13\,000 years. This exhibition is a tribute to them.” \nJohn Wimberley was born in Bermuda during 1945. In 1966\, he began photographing while working on the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. Since then\, his photographs have appeared in nearly one hundred exhibitions\, multiple international publications\, and are found in many hundreds of public and private collections around the world. He has taught many workshops\, primarily his “Sight & Insight” program which was extremely popular. \nIn 2010\, Wimberley received the Oliver Award from the American Rock Art Research Association for his self-published book of American Indian petroglyphs titled Evidence of Magic. During 2011\, Wimberley was one of eight photographers invited to participate in the first-ever exhibition of American landscape photography in\nMoscow\, Russia. At present\, Wimberley has given up teaching and continues to devote his time to photography. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Altman at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Altman\, Kavana \nJanuary 2–February 2\, 2020\nFirst Thursday opening reception: January 2\, 6:00–9:00 PM\nArtist talk: Saturday\, January 4\, 3:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\nAll Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \n“Jewish thought suggests that the memory of an action is as primary as the action itself. This is to say that when my hand is wounded\, I remember other hands. I trace ache back to other aches—when my mother grabbed my wrist too hard pulling me across the intersection\, when my great-grandmother’s fingers went numb on the ship headed towards Cuba fleeing the Nazis\, when Miriam’s palms enduringly poured water for the Hebrews through their biblical desert journey—this is how the Jew is able to fathom an ache.” \nIn Kavana\, Hannah Altman explores her Jewish heritage and intergenerational memory\, using photography to remember and reinterpret stories that have been passed down by the women in her family and generated through ritual and folklore. For the artist\, her photographs “are positioning themselves in the past as memories\, in the present as stories being told\, and in the future as rituals to interpret and repeat.” \nHannah Altman is a Jewish-American artist from New Jersey. Her work interprets relationships between body\, interiority\, feminine performance\, and lineage\, exploring the structures that perpetuate them using photographic-based media. She has recently exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust\, Junior High Gallery in Los Angeles\, and the University of Passau in Germany. Her work has been published in the Carnegie Museum of Art Storyboard\, Vanity Fair\, Huffington Post\, and i-D. She has delivered lectures on her work and research across the country\, including at Yale University\, the Society for Photographic Education’s Southeast Conference\, and Six x Ate artist lecture series. She is an MFA candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University and the 2019 recipient of the Bertha Anolic Israel Travel Award

SUMMARY:Donna Gottschalk\, Brave\, Beautiful Outlaws
DESCRIPTION:Donna Gottschalk\, Brave\, Beautiful Outlaws \nJanuary 2–February 2\, 2020\nFirst Thursday opening reception: January 2\, 6:00–9:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery\n122 NW 8th Avenue\nPortland\, Oregon 97209 USA\n503-225-0210\nTuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pm\nFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pm\nbluesky@blueskygallery.org\nhttp://www.blueskygallery.org/\nAll Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nBlue Sky is pleased to present the first west coast exhibition of Brave\, Beautiful Outlaws\, which features thirty prints by Donna Gottschalk from her archive spanning over forty years. Working in New York. Washington\, D.C.\, and San Francisco from the 1960s into the 1990s\, Gottschalk photographed herself along with her family\, friends\, lovers\, and activists in the queer communities there. Frustrated that lesbian bars—primarily run by the mafia and often raided by police—provided one of the only social spaces for meeting other gay women in New York at the time\, she joined the Gay Liberation Front in 1968\, and later the Radicalesbians. Through these activist groups she met lesbian artists JEB (Joan E. Biren)\, Flavia Rando\, and others\, and later moved to California to join lesbian-separatist communities. These intimate portraits of the individuals Gottschalk has known and loved\, including photographs of her sibling Myla who transitioned later in life\, remained mostly unseen until her 2018 exhibition at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, which was instigated by JEB and curated by Deborah Bright. \nDonna Gottschalk is an American photographer who grew up on New York’s Lower East Side in low-income tenement housing\, where she lived with her mother and three siblings. She began photographing at the age of seventeen and later studied art at Cooper Union in the 1960s. When she was eighteen\, Gottschalk joined the Gay Liberation Front and later joined the Radicalesbians\, and she participated in many political actions. Later in life\, she moved to Connecticut to open a photo lab with her partner\, Tony\, which they ran for thirty-eight years. Brave\, Beautiful Outlaws was first exhibited in 2018 at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York and the work has been featured in the New York Times\, Wallpaper*\, and Hyperallergic\, among many other publications. Now in her seventies\, Gottschalk lives on a small farm in rural Vermont.

SUMMARY:Brittney Cathey-Adams at Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Brittney Cathey-Adams\, Currents \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’s\nBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, December 18\, 2019 at Noon – 1pm \nPortland Art Museum\nThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building\n1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205\nwww.portlandartmuseum.org\n503 226 2811\nCost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nAs a fat-bodied person\, I am told that I must operate under shame and shrink myself as much as possible. When I stood in front of my lens nude for the first time\, it created a radical change in self-perception. I realized that for two decades I had apologized for my body. As my work began to develop\, I photographed with one question in mind\, “What does being in this body feel like?” I began to answer by taking up space\, and making a body commonly seen as undesirable project power through vulnerability. It is essential to consider not just who is allowed to be photographed but how. Images play a pivotal role in forming our belief system and engrain biases awaiting confrontation. The first place I could start was by drawing a line of fear out in front of myself and ever so slowly\, over the last ten years of my work\, step over each one. The images serve as an open ended and complicated relationship built on the notion that there is no way to grow into someone I can love through hate. \nBrittney Cathey-Adams is a photographic artist currently located in Portland\, OR. Her work includes themes of body politics\, and fat representation that interrogates the histories of the male gaze and self-portraiture. Her work has been on exhibit throughout institutions such as the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, CA\, Center for Photographic Art in Carmel\, CA and Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver\, CO. Most recently\, she was part of the 2019 Curatorial Prize at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland\, OR. With a strong passion for photography and art education Cathey-Adams dedicates herself to image making as well as sharing visual language through teaching at Portland Community College and Clackamas Community College. \nFor more information please visit brittneycatheyadams.com \n

SUMMARY:The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild\, The Road Less Traveled at The Giustina Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild\, The Road Less Traveled \nDecember 10\, 2019 – January 27\, 2020\nOpening Reception:  Thursday\, December 12\, 6:30-8:30 \nThe Giustina Gallery at the LaSells Stewart Center\n875 SW 26th St.\, Corvallis\, OR. 97331\nwww.photoartsguild.org\n541-737-2402\nOpen Monday-Friday 8am-5pm\, and evenings during scheduled events\nEvent is free and open to the public \nThe 11th biennial exhibit of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild features over 90 black-and-white and color photographs that interpret the closing lines of one of the most enduring poems by one of America’s most beloved poets–“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. The 26 photographers participating in the exhibit were asked to take a look “off the beaten path” in response to the poem’s final stanza: \nTwo roads diverged in a wood\, and I—\nI took the one less traveled by\,\nAnd that has made all the difference. \nThe photographers responded with a broad range of imagery\, from literal depictions of untrammeled paths and passageways\, to metaphorical images about choices and new directions\, as well as examples of new turns in their own personal artistic journeys. \nThe Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild was formed more than 30 years ago to promote and support fine art photography in the mid-valley and has been an affiliated guild of the Corvallis Art Center since 1988. \nThe LaSells Stewart Center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and evenings during scheduled events. \n

SUMMARY:Teresa Flowers at Teresa Flowers Photography Studio
DESCRIPTION:Teresa Flowers\, A Goddess Is Nothing Without Her Flowers \nDecember 7th – December 21st\nOpening reception:  December 7th\, 6 – 9 pm \nTeresa Flowers Photography Studio\n1472 NE Alberta St\nPortland\, OR 97211\nhttps://www.teresaflowers.com/goddess-exhibit \nWhat does spirituality mean to you? For Teresa Flowers\, it is a continuous creative journey that has led her to create her vision of God\, and she is inviting you on this journey with her show titled Goddess. By using a photography process called albumen\, she has hand-created images that go beyond what a mere photograph can share and has brought her dreams and visions into our reality. \nFlowers is one of only a handful of photographers who use the albumen process in their work. The process involves coating a piece of paper in the emulsion of egg white known as albumen and sodium or ammonium chloride\, allowing it to dry\, coating it in silver nitrate and water\, dry again\, place in a frame under a negative and place in the sun for exposure. When this process is complete\, you will see what appears to be an aged print. \nFlowers’ process is unique as she creates her prints then will add additional hand drawings as she sees fit. But the most impressive part is that her prints are 30 x 40 in size\, making an already lengthy printing process\, even more\, labor-intensive but visually rewarding. \nMedia is invited to attend her opening reception taking place on December 7th from 6 pm – 9 pm at her studio located at 1472 NE Alberta Street. \nThis show is in its beginning stages with additional ideas in the works. \nOriginally from Salt Lake City\, UT\, Flowers made a name for herself and moved to L.A. to enhance and share her skills with other artists. Her path eventually led her to Portland\, where she is embracing the life and culture of the Pacific Northwest while continuing to build awareness in the local art community. You can visit Flowers’ work and learn more about her on her website https://www.teresaflowers.com/ . \nTeresa’s¬ artwork¬ has¬ been¬ published¬ in¬ Shots¬ Fine¬ Art¬ Photography¬ Magazine\,¬ Photo¬ District¬ News\,¬ NAKID¬ Magazine¬ \, and¬ Black¬ and¬ White¬ Magazine.¬ She ¬won ¬the ¬prestigious¬ award ¬of ¬Fine¬Art ¬Photographer ¬of ¬the ¬Year¬ at¬ the¬ International¬ Photo¬ Awards¬ as ¬well¬ as¬ the¬ People’s¬ Choice ¬Award¬ in¬ Photography.¬ She¬ also¬ conducts ¬workshops¬ in¬ photography¬ and¬ mixed¬ media ¬ and¬ is¬ a¬ sought¬ after¬ freelance¬ photographer.¬ She¬ was¬ featured¬ in¬ Women’s¬ Business ¬Magazine¬ as ¬one ¬of ¬thirty¬women¬ to ¬watch ¬in ¬business.¬¬
