An Afternoon with Jennifer Diehl
We met Jennifer Diehl for the first time at the Lawrence Gallery in downtown Portland sometime in 2009, well before the economy forced the gallery into an unfortunate closure. We loved Lawrence for it’s selection of realist art, and Jennifer works in particular were compelling. My recollection of our conversation is that Jennifer comes from an artistic family who nurtured and supported her talent, allowing … Continue reading
Holiday Greetings from the PRSA Portland Metro Chapter
I’ve found my day career in public relations to be a positive and affirming endeavor, with boundless opportunities to impact people’s lives in important ways! This year has been memorable, for so many reasons, one of which has been my involvement with the Portland, Oregon chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. I’ve made new and lasting friendships, and explored exciting projects! I’ve found … Continue reading
A Saturday for Painting
Saturdays in August deserve a painting–at least here in the Pacific Northwest. Although I call myself a city girl–never having felt truly at home living out in the country–I do think nature is something everyone should get to experience–often. This is the second Allan/Marie painting, in that we both worked on it. Plein air painting is really hard, in spite of what artists might tell … Continue reading

Je Suis Toute (I Am Whole)
She is calm and whole in a green and peaceful place. Our lives are an assimilation of family, culture, beliefs and experiences, leading us to believe in what we are. Discovering one’s self can be easier for some, than for others. For me, the process seems more like eliminating what I am not, in order to understand what I am. What a person is, is … Continue reading

Making a Painting Together
“Painting together is all about trust. Trust that the other person will make what you’ve done better, not mess it up.” View from Ecola State Park by Allan Marie 12 x 16, oil on canvas done en plein air at Ecola State Park on December 17, 2011 I’ve heard of a few partner painters: mother and daughter, even a husband and wife. Allan and I … Continue reading

Hello Naked Winery, Goodbye Eve Series
The people who run Naked Winery have been very good to me. They’ve been featuring my paintings on the walls of their Hood River tasting room for a couple of years now. Every time I go there, I like it a little bit more. September marked a significant event though. My three flagship paintings from the Eve Series were purchased. The owner will be picking … Continue reading

Art in the Pearl
Portland (Oregon) has an energized yet comfortable art scene. Art in the Pearl is the annual Labor Day arts festival in the northwest Portland Park blocks and we never miss it, rain or shine. I don’t recall there ever being any rain though, and this year’s weather was perfect; slight breeze and around 78 degrees. What fascinated me the most were Andrew Carson’s kinetic wind … Continue reading

Tuscan Art Therapy at the Bread & Ink Cafe
Rx for a Stressfull Week – Soothing Visuals at the Bread & Ink Cafe. Whenever I get so stressed out that nothing seems manageable, the best therapy is focusing on the soothing visuals of color-infused paintings. I’m not a member of the Portland Plein Air & Studio Painters group because of my work, but I get notices and announcements about their paintouts and shows. The … Continue reading
