Oregon Poet Laureate Lawson Inada
I got an email tonight about the opening reception of the “Perceptions of the Past” exhibit. Apparently we made the local news. Here is a link to the video about the exhibit on The Daily Courier’s Website. My painting is the first image shown in the video 🙂 The exhibit is set to travel to Central Oregon Community College in Bend for October & November.
I loved visiting Grants Pass… the curators made us (the artists & writers) feel so special. And it was inspiring to hear the readings of Lawson Inada and Carlos Reyes. I also enjoyed meeting JS Bird and Bruce Bayard. I had been hoping to meet Sherry Wolf or my author, Lauren Kessler, but they weren’t able to make the opening reception.
Melinda Thorsnes and her Painting
Melinda and I had a great time ‘pillaging’ Grants Pass. She is not only a terrific artist, but has a wicked sense of humor and makes a great roomate/travel companion!
