Born in Oregon, in Washington County, I live in Hillsboro. I love to work with paper, whether I’m making a book, printing a carved image, or painting. I’ve volunteered at Valley Art for many years and love Forest Grove.

I enjoy making all types of art, especially those including bright colors. Lately I have been gravitating toward animals and flowers painted in acrylic.

Just trying to brighten up the world and trying to make people smile…. I like to be colorful and bright…line things up in rows…a spectrum of colors and subjects…I like to paint wildlife and nature with acrylic paints. My children are a major source of inspiration and encouragement for my artwork, I could not do it without them.

Grayson Johnston

I am a mixed media artist turned printmaker, born and raised in Washington county Oregon. I draw much of my inspiration from the plants, creatures, and forms we share this planet with, music and sounds of all kinds, and the art and ideologies of the generations and communities that came before us. I hope you find a feeling of connection in the art surrounding you, and encourage you to take a moment to embrace it!

My mosaic art differs from most other because I use recycled linoleum and vinyl as my medium.  Since my pieces consist of discontinued samples and discarded materials, I must create my images using a limited range of color on my “palette”.  That is the challenge I enjoy, putting these materials to a new and creative use.

It all becomes art, rather than landfill!

I’ve been working with clay exclusively since 2020. I was an oil painter before. Sculpting in clay, I’m very interested in animal and human forms; what I can bring to those, how can I change, enhance or illustrate some kind of emotion in their gesture and surface. Each piece inspires me to do another.

I like colors.  Well, except for beige.  And taupe.   Other than that, the rest of the colors are in my friend group.
I am always happy when I am making art and that happiness exudes from my work and will envelop those who view the art.   Or something like that.  🙂

Valley Art

We are delighted to welcome everyone to the gallery during our celebrated Annual Artist Event, Nov. 10-19. This year’s theme is “We the Artists” – and “we” always have something to show and, frequently, something to say. Forest Grove and Washington County have many dedicated Valley Art enthusiasts.

For 57 years — our gallery was founded in 1966 — we have sought the best art to display and sell. Our 10-day event begins with a reception on Nov. 10, from 7-9 p.m. During the 10 days of AAE, we offer new, renewing, and current members a one-time 10% discount during the event. Members are encouraged to bring a guest with them, although they won’t receive the 10 percent discount unless they become a member for $25 that night. Look for your brochure and tickets in the mail.

There will be a raffle during our members’ night reception, with a variety of great prizes. Tickets will be available for $2 each. Buy several! The Annual Artist Event hours will be Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.; and on Sunday, 12 – 4 p.m. Please join us. Come and “shop local” this holiday season and find one-of-a-kind gifts for friends or family.

Most of my life I have journaled my experiences by creating images with words. My artwork combines intricate and, at times, very simple images, often inspired by nature. These pieces expanded ways to convey more color and depth to journalling becoming the stand-alone pieces you see here. I use combinations of Ink, Watercolor, and Colored Pencils to create my abstract artwork. I have long been inspired by the glassworks of Frank Lloyd Wright’s windows, Stained Glass panels in places of worship, and lamp work. I have incorporated my skills as a silversmith, jeweler and sculptor to make my one-of-a-kind artwork.

I learned how to oil paint when I was in my late thirties. I had always thought you had to be able to draw well in order to paint well. That turns out to not be true. Finding oil painting was a great way for me to express myself and I didn’t have to be good at drawing.
