2017 Rose Festival Queen official portrait

Michaelacrop

It was an honor to paint the official portrait of the 2017 Rose Festival Queen, Michaela Canete. The portrait was unveiled at the Oregon Society of Artists, where it will be on display for the month of June. It then will join four other portraits of previous Rose Festival queens at the Rose Festival Building on SW Naito Parkway in Portland. Thank you to the Oregon Society of Artists, the Portland Rose Festival, and to Michaela Canete for being such a wonderful model!  KPTV Fox 12 news was there to capture the unveiling, and filmed this short video! http://www.kptv.com/…/36th-annual-rose-festival-art-show-op… Photos of Michaela’s reaction to the portrait courtesy of Liana Kramer.

OCTOBER 14-15 & 21-22

I will be participating in the 2017 Portland Open Studios tour this year, along with over 100 other artists around the Portland Metro area.  This is a great opportunity to see where artists work and to interact with the artists.  There are two ways to see the tour – purchase the $15 Tour Guide with color images of the artists work and a map of studios (available at all New Seasons stores) or download the PDXOS mobile app for $4.99.  Either way will work!  Hope to see everyone the weekends of October 14-15 & 21-22!  More information at Portland Open Studios
