A lil throw back to this series: “in their own imago”.
I’ve been cooking up some new work for an upcoming show and spending time with old friends (sculptures) is getting the juices flowing. 🖤
Works originally shown at @adamsandollman@oregoncontemporary and @mindysolomongallery
Introducing one of our artists in our upcoming exhibition, Maya Vivas!!
Maya Vivas is a multidisciplinary artist working in a variety of mediums such as ceramic, performance, painting, social practice and installation.
Maya has exhibited work, spoken on panels and hosted workshops throughout the United States including venues and institutions such as Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, Louisiana State University and Yale. Vivas is also co-founder of Ori Gallery.
Whose mission is to redefine “the white cube” through amplifying the voices of Queer and Trans Artists of color, community organizing and mobilization through the arts.

OCT. 30th 6 PM Lewisham Arthouse
Join us on Monday 6th October, 6–8PM for ‘Hey Friend, I’ve Been Thinking About Money…’ with Maya Vivas and Ariel Collier.
Maya and Ariel will open an invitational conversation on arts and economics. Without claiming expertise, they approach the discussion with curiosity, care, and a desire to imagine possible interventions to today’s economic crisis. Guided by a series of questions, they will invite participants to reflect on communal financial practices such as mutual aid, doughnut economics, and everyday goodwill. Together, they will also explore how these ideas relate to the pressures and realities artists face under neoliberalism, from unstable income to navigating a market-driven system, as well as the tension between practical constraints and creative ambition.
This event is free to attend and will be held at Auto Italia. To register, follow the link in our bio.

“Sorrel (hanged)” 2023 Oil on panel.
I’ve been talking a big game about getting back into painting since 2019. And it’s only taken 4 years and moving to London to actually do it 🙃
It’s really strange revisiting a medium that I thought I left behind. Feels like i’m traveling back in time to 2011 - before I touched clay. Excited to see where this takes me.
‘Black Artists of Oregon’ @portlandartmuseum opens tomorrow Sep 9th - March 17th 2023. I’m so excited and honored to be a part of such a monumental exhibition. 🖤
