Old School Coffee
Since moving to Portland, I have been hibernating in my studio while working on incorporating several new medias. Just in time for spring, I have escaped my cocoon. I am showing some of these new works at Old School Coffee on PCC's campus. This showing is a mix of my fiber pieces, acrylic paintings, and digitally manipulated photographs.
While on the college campus, Old School Coffee also serves the local neighborhood. Old School Coffee faces Division Street at the PCC Library Building. Stop by to see my newest work and make sure to try the best lemon bars ever.
