Out & About With Our Artists

Each month a number of our member artists are busy with events outside the gallery. We love to share their awards, activities, and adventures with you, and hope you enjoy hearing about what happens outside the gallery.

Don Schwartz recently learned that his photograph "Snow-kissed Lantern" was selected as the inset image for the month of January in the 2014 Portland Japanese Gardens Calendar. Congratulations to Don for achieving this honor.

Speaking of honors, once again Gretha Lindwood was awarded Honorable Mention for her "Lupine Trail" pastel painting at the prestigious plein air Carmel Art Festival earlier this month. Last year Gretha won several awards including People's Choice and had her painting featured on all 2013 publicity for this event. Congratulations to Gretha!

Diana Unterspan's hats are now being carried by The Real Mother Goose in downtown Portland. They are each one of a kind works of wearable art and have the special loving touches that only Diana can provide. In addition, Diana learned she will be part of Portland Open Studios this year. More about this as we get closer to October. Hats to you Diana!

It's been a very busy Spring for Pam Nichols. She participated in "An Artist A Day" at Muse Art and Design in Portland and had work at Potter's Vineyard in Newberg over Memorial Day Weekend. Coming up in June, Pam will show work during First Thursday at Pulse Gallery at the corner of NW Broadway and Flanders in Portland and will participate in the Utah Arts Festival from June 20-23 in Salt Lake City, Utah http://www.uaf.org. She will also be the featured artist at District Gallery in Park City, Utah in July with an Artist Reception on July 5 www.districtartgallery.com. Makes me tired just writing about all she has on her plate!

Roberta Babcock is participating in the Pacific Northwest Sculptors invitational juried show at the Allison Inn and Spa in Newberg. The show opens June 14. The public is invited to a reception on June 15 from 2 to 6 p.m. Roberta tells us to "Be prepared to be impressed!!" Congratulations Roberta.




As always, we are so proud of our AOB artists and like to brag about their many accomplishments.
