I’m very happy to say that I’m currently exhibiting new paintings at Nationale in Portland.  I’m also happy to say that I’m sharing the space with Midori Hirose, whose work I love.  The name of our show is Mush, Mush, The Sloping Midnight Line.  “What in the hell,” you ask, “does that mean?”  The answer is: “I don’t know!”  I also can’t tell you much about what the work deals with conceptually.  I’m an illustrator and out of the habit of thinking about my art that way.  I can say that it has something to do with the way that Kristin Lavransdatter (an epic novel set in medieval Norway that I was reading for like a year), being pregnant and the inevitable introspection that goes along with that (I’m pregnant by the way), and being a night owl combined in my insomnia-addled brain.

If you’d like to read a more eloquent description written by someone else and find out pertinent info about the show, you can do so here.  We’re having an opening tomorrow from 6:00 – 8:00 and would love to see you if you’re in the neighborhood (811 E Burnside).  If you’re not, but you’d like to see the show online, you can email May at Nationale for a preview.  Thanks!
