Upcoming Art Workshops
 Upcoming Events 
Poster GardenSeptember 5 - 24 PosterGarden is a proud supporter of the Portland art community and they've invited me to show my work along with my friends and fellow encaustic painters Kimberly Kent and Serena Barton. We'll do a live demonstration of how to paint with hot wax during the opening reception on September 4. I hope you'll join us. Mad 50 No Place Like Home September 8 - October 23 I've been invited back to create a second installation for Mad/50, an outdoor community art space at the corner of Madison and SE 50th in Portland. You may remember my last installation, The Key Project, from 2 years ago which received a lot of attention. This year the theme is "home" and I plan to take it to the limit. I've recently been focusing my work on the intersection of light and energy; time and space, so I guess the home I'll depict is our place in the universe and how these element intersect. Stop by this unique venue to see the finished product. Portland Art Open Friday, September 26 - 5:00 to 8:00 PM Saturday, September 27 – 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Sunday, September 28 - 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM Portland Art Open is a three day art event & party showcasing the range of talents and styles of Portland's artists. It's your chance to experience art on the most personal level possible—see how each artist envisions their work in their own setting.

Free tour guides and online information about each artist is available now at http://www.portlandartopen.com. I will be showing at Milepost 5, the new creative community in SE Portland. Look for me in room #105 at Milepost 5, 900 NE 81st Avenue, Portland, OR (20 artists in one location!). I'll be painting most of the weekend.

A seasoned art dealer for almost two decades, Mark has been on the leading edge of making Portland's visual arts scene. All proceeds will go to The Children's Heart Foundation—Oregon Chapter. Launch Pad Gallery Dream Show October 3 - 31 Nearly a third of your life is spent sleeping, inhabiting a world visible only to your mind's eye, bounded only by the firings of your synapses. Falling dreams; dream lovers; dreams of the dead; day dreams; dreams of glory; hopes & dreams; "I have a dream"; the surreal dream-like quality of life...What happens to a dream deferred? How different really is dreaming from being awake? Where do you go when you dream, and who do you become? Where does the dream end and reality begin? These themes will be explored by 100 artists in the Launch Pad Gallery annual Dream Show. Recent Events  Second National Encaustic ConferenceThe Second National Encaustic Conference in Massachusetts, was a huge success!
