Artist : Andrea Pratt

I have been drawing since before I can remember, though I took a major detour after getting my BFA that ate up 18 years of my life. Teaching, traveling and starting a family paved the way for me to ‘come home’ again, and I have been trying to direct an unruly herd of ideas ever since. Oil and acrylic paint, coloured pencils and my camera all feature prominently in my toybox, and I am drawn to natural imagery, primitive symbolism, bones, crows and houses.

Author : Lisa Sinnett

Lisa Sinnett is an immigrant to the middle class—and was dismayed to discover shortly after her arrival that it was being dismantled. She enjoys life on her severely curtailed teacher’s salary, because she’s remembered that she has more friends when she is broke, and is considering going off the grid with her family and anyone she can convince to go with her. She admires bicycle commuters, her urban farmer friends, and fellow Detroit teachers who are hanging in there for Detroit. She adores acoustic musicians.

Long ago and far away, before Kenna Lee spent her nights working as a hospice nurse and her days rooted in her kids’ school garden, she traveled in a larger, email-free world where becoming untethered was easier.  Her book about maternal eco-anxiety will be published later this year.

Artist : Christopher Bibby

Christopher Bibby was born in Cheshire on the banks of the Mersey not far from Liverpool, England. He attended the London Road College of Art and Design. At the age of 20 he moved to Scotland and settled in Glasgow, where he painted and drew every day on the streets and in the alleyways. He then moved to Portland, Oregon, during the winter of 2001 and immediately fell in love with the city and its people.

Chris uses brilliant color and dynamic contrast to make scenes from everyday life take on an almost heavenly importance and attention. He illustrates the importance of appreciating every detail life has to offer.

Author : Jenny Forrester

Jenny Forrester is the recent winner of Seattle’s Richard Hugo House New Works Competition with her essay, “An American Trailer Trash Childhood.” She gets lucky from time to time and a short fiction piece morphs out of her life experience and then falls from her pen and onto the page, like the blood that drips onto the red sandstone in the story “A Compatibilist Woman.”

Artist : Verone Flood

1984 Boston College – BA
1986 Florida State University – MFA

I am a landscape photographer who is addicted to cameras, computers and Diet Coke.

I typically work with a series of photographs. Each image is made up of juxtaposed, digital images. The photographs are about relationships; the relationship of shapes and color, balance and tension and negative and positive space. Lines and color play an important factor to the sequence of the photographs. Each viewer develops his or her own relationships between the photographs when viewing an image.

Artist : Richard Lishner

I’m an architect who finally admitted that I am an artist.  I’ve been exhibiting my photographs for the last year at Saturday Market, and will participate in this October’s Open Studios.  My best work is based on intensive observation as “a walker in the city.” A New Yorker by birth and temperament, I moved with my wife and son to Portland in 1992. We live in a 100-year-old bungalow in Southeast Portland.
