Thanks to everyone who joined us for the opening of Silence & Slow Time, last Friday evening! It was such a great turnout. We appreciate the support!
Ellen Blazich & Kayla Marie Carlson have really out done themselves on this terrific show. Many thanks to Rose Lewis for curating such a great pairing of artist.

I didn’t even realize, when we were setting the date, that our show would be opening on the Scorpio full moon, but as with every other aspect of this process, it aligned perfectly. Boundless thanks to everyone who came out to see the paintings, congratulate the artists, browse the books, and eat cake! It is a tremendous privilege to have a role in bringing Ellen and Kayla’s work further into the public eye. Go see for yourselves at @souvenirartspdx this month, Thursdays-Saturdays, noon to 5:00, or By Appointment—curator-led tours are very much available.
