Tom Becraft – Wood Turner
Tom Becraft
Tom Becraft is a skilled wood tuner who utilizes his creativity to go beyond what other wood turners have done. He loves adding great detail and unusual ways to present his work. When you purchase one of his pieces, you can be assured that you own a well-crafted artwork that will last many generations.
Chris Wallace, Jeweler
Chris Wallace
Chris Wallace offers hand-designed jewelry that can be very simple yet elegant or very intricate and striking. She has been making jewelry for many years and her clients come back regularly to add to their collection. We love all the beautiful work she presents at the gallery.
Tammy Jorgenson, Mixed Media Artist
Tammy Jorgenson
Tammy Jorgenson is a self-taught artist who creates bright and cheerful images. She uses various papers in many new ways to complement the subject of her work. Many of her pieces reflect various surroundings from places where she has lived or visited.
Ron Otis, Abstract Painter
Ron Otis
Ron Otis uses acrylic paint to create abstract compositions that
emphasize the interaction between layered surfaces and bold
visual elements. He’s drawn to the tension and harmony that can
emerge through unexpected juxtapositions-smooth against
rough, dark, beside light, structured forms meeting organic
chaos.
Patty McMahan, Painter
Patty who lives in Portland earned a teaching degree, and later in life an art degree from Portland State University. She was a docent for several years at the Portland Art Museum, until that program was canceled. She has done printmaking as well as oil painting.
She is currently feeling inspired by Mexican art and is working on a new botanical series based on her travels in Mexico.
