In Search Of Peace

Please check out the website In Search Of Peace. One of my photos was included in the exhibit and is now on the on-line exhibit. I shot it at the 2007 Portland Peace March.

The Chair Affair 2009 Is Getting Closer

Today I got a glimpse at some of the truly amazing chairs that will be auctioned off at the Chair Affair on April 23. For First Thursday April 2, I am delighted that PH Reed has chosen to display my chair Kickin' Back In Portland, at their store. They are located at NW 11th and Glisan. It will be there for the First Thursday opening reception from 6-9 pm as well as the remainder of the month leading up to the big event. My chair Let The Good Times Roll Again, will be exhibited at the Anka Gallery at 325 NW 6th near the Everett Street Loft Galleries. It too will be there for the remainder of the month but they are open limited hours. Tickets to the auction will be available for purchase at those locations on First Thursday. The auction will not only be filled with the most amazing chairs of all sizes, shapes and stories, but there will be food, wine and dessert to fill all your senses. Hope you can either join me by stopping by during First Thursday or hopefully I will see you at the auction on the 23!

As of now there are over 80 artists participating in this very worthwhile event. I am personally very excited to see the other chairs that will be joining my two at the Chair Affair on April 23. They will all be on exhibit for First Thursday on April 2 at PH Reed's windows and the Anka Gallery at the Everett Street Station. The chairs will be on display for the month of April at Mario's and PH Reed's windows and the Anka Gallery in NW.
