As a person with ADHD, limiting to a particular medium or subject is impractical. I have an interdisciplinary studio fine arts degree and have been making art professionally since 2005 and teaching art for a living since 2016. Children and adults take classes in various mediums through the business, Artingales, with multiple methods of printmaking being one priority.

I have been taking pictures for 19 years. I loved photography before I even had the chance to take my first film class in high school. As a photographer, I have both fine art and journalistic abilities when it comes to my style. I live for a great candid shot, but sometimes you just have to stop and get it just right.

I consider myself more of a crafty person than an artist. F Bombs are a fun way to showcase my love and appreciation of this impactful, versatile swear word.

It brings me great joy to create these and share them with others who enjoy dropping well-timed F Bombs. If you’d like some to share with your family or friends, send a request to mollie.hammar@gmail.com.

Maureen Zoebelein

I grew up on the East End of Long Island in Wading River, New York. I have
always been involved in some form of art medium. I spent countless hours
roaming the beaches; observing and enjoying the beauty the island had to offer.
Through a lifelong interest in photography, I have collected images that I use as a
reference in my paintings. I am always searching for images that capture the mood
of the places I have traveled, whether it is a dramatic sky, flowers in a field or a
cricket on a board.
During my early schooling I was always involved in art projects. These included
enameling, pottery, collage and drawing. At Suffolk Community College and Buffalo
State College I pursued a degree as a BFA major in printmaking. Moving to
Oregon in the mid 1970’s, I completed my degree in Clothing, Textile and Related
Arts at Oregon State University. I studied textile design, graphic design and
dabbled in basketry, felting, weaving and fabric printing.
Through the years I have also worked with watercolors, colored pencils, pastels
and woodcuts. I found that oils and acrylics allow for a fluid and natural expression
of my art. Painting allows me to capture the world in the way I envision it as an
artist.
Many of my paintings are influenced by the many hours spent hiking, biking,
paddling, cross country skiing, camping in and around the East Coast and Pacific
Northwest. Those experiences supply the imagery that I am drawn to when
painting. Blooms showing off their colors, skies creating drama from above,
animals and birds caught on film, are the images that supply the inspiration for my
paintings.

Nate Marcel

I absolutely love drawing and teaching. I’ve been a drawing instructor at Portland Community College since 2005. I have been drawing with the intention of improvement since as early as I can remember and began painting seriously in 1995. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in drawing, painting and printmaking, and my MFA from Portland State University in 2003. 

Although I work in mixed genres and multiple media my work is always directly anchored in the drawing experience. I have trained as a fine artist and have studied fine arts extensively, including architecture and both modern and ancient sculpture, but the majority of my skills have centered around my first love; illustration. My heaviest influences include Silver Age sequential art, Secession movement artists, The Cubists, 19th Century illustration and art from the Northern Renaissance. My tastes are also eclectic, dipping heavily into the naive well of Outsider, Art Brut and Kitsch culture.
