Michael Orwick and Valerie Sjodin in the main gallery and Kim Lakin in the lower exhibition space.
Oil pain tings by two of Hillsboro's most well-known artists, Michael Orwick and Valerie Sjodin, are featured this holiday season. Both have a history as professional illustrators and have blossomed into accomplished painters. Orwick will exhibit his strong and colorful landscapes, many done Plein Air.
Sjodin will exhibit a new series of work that explores the concept of connecting with the divine through images of the Gothic arch, the skyline and cosmos.
Kim Lakin is a fiber artist who creates quilts using the same techniques as an abstract painter. "I start by playing - with no plan but to keep within a simple framework. Eventually a  theme emerges, patterns evolve. Integrating small details in the larger work, my aim is to allow the viewer to return again and again to find something new each time."
An opening reception for all artists will be held on First Tuesday, December 1 at 6pm. |

Fred Cooper, David Kerr and John Mathis in the main gallery and Jan Madill in the lower exhibition space
Fred Cooper started his painting career in San Diego in the 1960's. His current body of work i s akin to hard edge abstract art but breaks convention by depicting space while his palette of color remains in the Pop Art camp.
David Kerr, violinmaker/restorer for 37 years, came to glass out of a desire to  explore color. One of his recent works was juried into the Pilchuck auction along with Chihuly, Dante Marioni and William Morris.
John Mathis is a young artist who writes computer programs th at create "drawings" or "matrix paintings." The results are akin to images of water or roots and not far from the gesture paintings of Pollock. Visitors to the gallery will see a few prints but mainly will be able to watch the programs run live and even 'make' their own on monitors in the gallery.
 Jan Madill came to art in midstream, coming from a medical science background. Her paintings combine elements of both worlds.
An opening reception for all artists will be held on First tuesday, May 4th at 6pm.

Diane Avio-Augee paints large-scale abstract expressionistic works inspired by a varie ty of sources, including music, contemporary western poetry, Chinese painting and nature. For this exhibit, she plans to steep herself in the landscape of Washington County for inspiration. For the last decade, Diane has exhibited her work in several of Portland's finest galleries, most recently the Mark Woolley Gallery, which closed its doors in 2009.
Dick and Jane Millager are artisans who work with wood. Dick creates vessels  using lamination, turning and chip carving. The wood carving that adorns his western themed bowls, boxes, clocks and plates is done with one hand-held knife.
Using a scroll saw, Jane has developed a unique process of working with small, highly detailed pieces of hardwood veneers to create jewelry inspired by nature and her Cherokee heritage. Their website is www.dickjanemillager.com.
PDX!WAM brings together a small group of women abstract artists who meet monthly for critiqu es, ideas and inspiration. Established in 2004 by former students of Ann Baldwin, an abstract painter from the San Francisco Bay Arera, the gorup has exhibited throughout the Portland metro area. Their styles and methods of applying mixed media are as diverse as their interests and backgrounds. Participating members include Nikki Dilbeck, Ann Fullerton, Jan Heigh, tupper Malone, Collin Murphy and Marge Rood.
