I love to have fun. Make art. Play with color. I also love to make things with wood + wax + paper.

From carving a relief woodblock, pulling a print on the press to applying layers of molten beeswax, I find joy in bringing disparate elements together to create unique, colorful compositions to brighten people’s days and environments.

My work is very process-oriented – that first mark of the brush or pen opens a flood gate of other ideas that pour out onto the canvas. I let my inner psyche speak to me about what it wants to say, creating varied pieces of color, texture, and line. Always colorful, always graphic, they are the best “language” I have with which to speak to the world.

My studio is located in Portland, Oregon in my backyard. I can walk out among my flowers and weird garden art and them immerse in making just a few steps from my home. It’s pretty awesome and I am so grateful.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art and Theater Arts from the University of Oregon (1998). I have been a professional working artist since 2000 and have exhibited and sold my work nationally. I have had my work professionally published in both books, magazines, and instructional videos.

I am currently represented by Grey Raven Gallery (Beaverton, OR).

I have been cutting it up since 2020 as Kitschy Collagist . Before becoming a collage artist, I was a photographer who shot 35mm film. I studied historic photo processes and traveled to England and upstate New York for workshops, visiting the birth places of photography.
I studied photography and art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, California from 2006-2011, while I worked my full time job as a hairstylist. Ten years ago I relocated to Forest Grove, Oregon from Southern California.
During the pandemic I had a health condition that lead me to change my medium to analog collage and I never looked back. Occasionally, I incorporate my photographs into my collage. I also incorporate found or family photos as well. All my materials are second hand, using magazines from 1890-1980. Vintage imagery and yesteryears’ ephemera make people smile and spark memories for my viewers.
I have found a connection with the collage community in Oregon and Washington. I’m part of several collectives. The one I’m most active in is the PNW Collage Collective. We have meet ups and do group art shows. We had a group show at Powells in June. I participated in an Exquisite Corpse group show that was at the Lewis and Clark Community Center in June as well.
I will be showing at the Hillsboro Civic Center in November called “Second Glances” and “Curio” at The Reser Nov/Dec
I turned fifty this year, so my new works are about nostalgia for the place I grew up, places I have traveled, and creative places collage has allowed me to venture to.

April Hoff

Self-proclaimed eclectic pop-conceptual artist and writer preferring to find beauty in the obvious, the mundane, the grotesque, and the overlooked. 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.
