I live and work in Portland, Oregon, having moved here in my mid-twenties after growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania. Like any good Northwesterner, I love the trees, mountains, rivers and ocean, the quality of light and even the half year of grey drizzle that makes it easy to work in the studio or put your nose in a book. My surroundings have a big effect on my work, whether the beauty of the natural world or just the experience of being out and about – moving, seeing, sensing – all reverberate back into making.

The Rental Sales Gallery, Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands.

These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities - past, present, future - and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
