Allison Van Richter

Hey there! My name is Allison Van Richter, and I am a water color artist based in Hillsboro, Oregon. My love of pastel colors, interesting figures, and fun shapes is reflected in my artwork. I especially enjoy creating petite artworks that can brighten small, unexpected spaces—these little pieces love finding a new home hanging just above a light switch or tucked into a bare corner next to that thriving monstera plant. This art is best served with a thick, juicy romance novel, a hand knit blanket, and a matcha latte. Enjoy!

Darlene Agee

Darlene Agee of Tigard/SW Portland, Oregon, is a self taught artist best known for her Pyrography (woodburning) and colored pencil wood ornaments. Her work is currently available in Forest Grove at A Framer’s Touch during the Festival of Ornaments. Her pieces bring an element of nature into your home with beautiful renditions of iconic Pacific Northwest landmarks. She is expanding into the larger pieces, still using natural wood discs and planks with a touch of bark. She re-discovered her love of pyrography or woodburning last year and has enjoyed connecting her artwork to her love of the outdoors and our beautiful, natural wilderness in and around the PNW.

Ms. Agee is a former middle school mathematics teacher in the Portland and Tigard areas, since leaving the teaching profession, she keeps busy as a volunteer at a kid’s camp, running their arts and crafts program. She has been interested in arts since childhood while creating alongside her mother as she learned toll painting. Agee goes way back in her artistic endeavors to a young child winning awards in the Smokey the Bear Coloring contest, using crayon and tissue to create a smooth, glossy texture. As a child, her dad taught her some basics of woodburning while helping with a Scout project.

Ms. Agee draws her artistic inspiration from her love of hiking, camping, and photography. Her love of the outdoors started with family camping and hiking in her desert southwest home of New Mexico. Her favorite memories are the many family outings in the Four Corners states along with the hiking and camping trips with Scouts, as a youth. Boy Scouts, while her dad was Scoutmaster for most of her childhood and she considers herself an honorary Scout or troop mascot, and more recently with her son in Scouting. Girl Scouts as a longtime Scout and again as a Troop Leader for her daughter.

Shari Erickson

Nature has a remarkable ability to bring us together. As inhabitants of this vibrant, life-filled planet, we share a deep, intrinsic connection to the natural world. The restorative power of spending time in nature is well-documented, and it’s this profound connection that fuels my art. My work is an expression of my passion for this beautiful universe.

I share a studio with my fiancé Jeffrey Hall at Outback/Downunder Artist Studio in Forest Grove. We sometimes have our studio open to the public and we enjoy teaching. Contact me if you’d like to pay us a visit or if you’d like to learn more about art mentorship.

Warren Rustic Revival

I’m a nearly 50 year old woman and I’m trying something new. I’m a mom, a teacher, a wife, friend, and wannabe woodworker. I always did projects out in the shop with my dad growing up and loved every minute of it. He passed away a few years ago and it’s been really hard without him. Before he passed, he helped us build a barn at our house that we always envisioned would one day be a workshop of sorts, more for my husband than me really. But recently, I have taken to spending time using our tools, my dad’s tools, and creating things I love. It’s been fun, healing, freeing, empowering, and eye opening. I have found new talents, felt excitement and zest for life, and learned so so much along the way (with a loooooong way to go!)

Cynthia Wolpin

Cynthia Wolpin

My hands are always busy creating something. I have worked with all kinds of medium. I have done wood burning, acrylic, resin, but especially love mixed media.

Along my art journey I realized that my love for animals, colors and textures can all be used to create fun pet portraits. A pet portrait can hold special memories, show favorite expressions, and funny antics.

For this show, I am displaying my love for animals with special pieces that are among my personal favorites.
