Randall Children's Hospital

I was commissioned to create five large sculptures for the new Randall Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon in winter of 2011-12. Each floor of the building is a different ecoregion of Oregon, so I created two pieces for the Cascade region (bear with lupine and hummingbird and gray wolf with bluebird and trillium,) one for the Willamette Valley (Brush Hare with Western Tanager and Daisies) and two for the coastal region (puffin with sea anenome and Brown Pelican with Silverspot butterfly and violets.)

Here's a slide show that takes you through the process from drawing to sculpture!

Yay! It's finally time to announce my participation in a great project--the Art in Hand Playing cards! This is a deck of cards that features the work of 54 Portland artists, and yours truly got to design the King of Hearts!


All works are ready for your viewing pleasure at Bidding for Good - click here for the link to my card, but look around to see the entire deck, which is fabulous. My piece can be purchased through this auction site, and over 90% of the proceeds will go to my favorite nonprofit organization, Art on Alberta!


We'll be presenting all the works live and in person at the 11th Annual Art on Alberta Art Hop so you can see before you bid. This exhibition will be at our Grow Gallery May 14-16th, 2010, from 11-6pm each day. Grow Gallery is located at 1614 NE Alberta. Art Hop will be on May 15th.


Art on Alberta is also selling the card decks for only $13. Click here to order yours today!
