The October 25-26 “Pop Up Rain or Shine” Plein Air event was a great success!
The weather “mostly” cooperated and the results of the nocturnal and daytime paintings are hanging in our gallery for all to see (and purchase!). Several artists have participated for many years in our Plein Air and it was a delight to welcome them back along with greeting and appreciating new artists.

Biography
"Painting
is a bit like putting a firefly in a jar and sharing it with others.
Moments, memories and senses are captured, placed on the wall so the
viewer can revisit as often as they like. There's a spark of
inspiration in each of my paintings. Sometimes it's a color harmony
or an object I'm nostalgic about that inspires me. Or the pleasure of
a perfect day outside painting en plein aire. I use oil paint because
I appreciate its tactile quality. I often paint on location and from
life."
Kristina Sellers is an award winning impressionist
painter. She has participated in local, regional and national art
competitions and exhibitions. She resides in the Portland, Oregon area with
her husband, calico and beagle.
