Last Thursday was the day to deliver my work to Riversea Gallery! My show, ‘Down on the Farm’ will run from June 14 through July 12, 2014.

Please plan to attend the artist’s reception and demonstration, Sunday June 22 at 1 pm. 1160 Commercial Street, Astoria Oregon- 503.325.1270. Owner Jeanine Grafton and her capable staff have curated a beautiful collection of fine art in a variety of mediums. The high ceilings make you feel like you’re in an art sanctuary!

Jeannine is ready to send artwork home with you!

Riversea Gallery is looking its best

There are plenty of things to do in historic Astoria that weekend… From the Astoria Music Festival to the Scandinavian Festival.

Our family enjoyed lots of Scandinavian foods when I was growing up, including lefse, lutefisk, and krumkake, so I am really looking forward to visiting during this festival!

Other fun activities to add to your itinerary are the multitude of fine dining establishments, the Maritime Museum, the Eagle Sanctuary, Fort Stevens history, Antique shopping and, of course, beach-combing!
