Page featuring the many Collaborative artists part of the Imperfecta gallery. collaborating artists . Multimedia & Improvisational Paintings Dan Gay Dan Gay (dang) is a multimedia artist whose sculptural work has ranged from monumental to minuscule, appearing in films, installations, advertisements, museums and festivals. Dan's ongoing series of improvisational portrait painting remains central to his personal studio work - as dab puts it: “Through this series, I’ve been looking at the frayed edges of our perception, our distance and connection—the vulnerability and beauty of being an individual in the world and the vulnerability of being together.” Mixed Media & Printmaking Deborah Donelson American born and Chile-based Deborah Donelson has been a working artist since 1990. Her work centers around the relationship between wildlife (especially birds) and humans. Throughout her career, she had numerous solo shows throughout the US as well as internationally - from France to Japan, Canada, the UK, Santo Domingo, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and India. Oil Paintings Ellie Davies Ellie Davies (b. 2002, North England) is a visual artist based in Cumbria, in the Lake District. Working predominantly in oil paint, she creates imaginative, figurative scenes that draw on folklore, superstition, and museum collections, blending ‘fact’ and ‘fable’ with her own personal iconography. Her work often features hybrid figures that blur the boundaries between human and creature, where observation and storytelling intertwine. Davies frequently incorporates natural elements such as seawater or river water into her process, embedding each piece with a subtle connection to place. She earned her BA in Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton in 2024 and has since exhibited with institutions including Delphian Gallery, Saatchi Gallery and Mall Galleries. That same year, she was awarded the Mawddach Graduate Residency and nominated for both the Freelands Painting Prize and the University of Brighton Graduate Award. Her work has been featured in Tate Etc. (Issue 64, Winter 2024) and Frieze (Issue 247), and she has collaborated with publishers such as Page Street Publishing Co. Paintings & Sculptures Erin Robinson Grant Erin Robinson Grant is a multimedia artist currently residing in Portland, Oregon. Originally from Indiana, Grant earned her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and MFA from Indiana University. She has also attended the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia and The Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan, Ireland. Her work deals with birth, death, and our abject responses to it. She explores these themes through an amalgamation of video, animation, drawing, installation, and performance. Grant has exhibited nationally at The Kinsey Institute, the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (MOCA), SPACES Gallery, and at the Yellowstone Art Museum. Additionally, she has participated in several international residency programs such as Spark Box Studio in Canada and Arts Itoya in Japan. Grant has exhibited at a variety of venues throughout the West Coast including Gallery 114, University of Portland, the Umpqua Valley Arts Center, Blackfish Gallery, PUNCH Projects, The Arts Center, Verum Ultimum, Lower Columbia College, Central Washington University, and the Sanchez Art Center. Sculptures Francesca Dalla Benetta My work is characterized by mixed anatomies and forms. Human faces and bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid beings Through my aesthetics, in balance between the classic and the surreal, I study the themes of transformation, sense of belonging and self-perception, the ability to adapt, stereotypes and categorization. I look for the fine line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, studying the differences between perception and reality. My figures are a look towards the interior and the lack of control, they are a way of containing the uncontainable. The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and unreal dimension, are reflections on the identity of misfits and the many facets of being. As an artist, my most important task is to communicate and stimulate a different way of feeling and thinking. I mainly resort to sculpture because it is an affirmation of solidity in contrast to the volatility of thoughts and emotions: it consolidates and crystallizes them into a permanent and lasting image, it is a perfect tool to stop doubting reality and oneself. Fiber Art & Mixed Media Jacqueline Myers-Cho I am a mixed media artist with textiles as my main focus. My contemporary fiber art blends portraiture, abstract, and storytelling in a college style. Recurring themes are self reflection, searching for meaning, transformation, and transitions. The focal point images come from my original oil / acrylic paintings, original silkscreens, and drawings that have been printed on fabric. I use reclaimed fabrics of all kinds, text, hand stitching, machine stitching, crochet, embroidery, and 3-d elements. My background in theater ; props, costume design and scene painter, allow me to create without boundaries. My work ranges from textile wall hangings/ quilts, fiber vessels, textile mixed media sculptures, art dolls, wearable art , and installations. Sculptures & Paintings Jacquline Hurlbert Jacquline is obsessed with layering her canvas with history. The first painting becomes the backbone of the story, an original story that remains as she layers another painting on top of it and then another. It's this development of history that so intrigues and pushes her forward to the next layer. In her own words: "This works for me psychologically. I view my paintings as I view my life. I'm layered with new experiences and take on personality adjustments as I go about my journey. My paintings mimic this process of growth and renewal. The results are complex combinations of rich texture, story and mystery… like us." Paintings & Illustrations Jennifer Gillia Cutshall "I am drawn to the struggle that art making presents and I always return to that process. As I paint and build, (and even when I curate exhibitions) I respond to innate impulses, trusting my gut. While weaving bits of memories and/or mementos (from past paintings, sketches, fabric, and old letters) throughout the painting or sculpture. The work then holds a sense of story - each piece revealing a part of life, my unconscious, or my dreams. The resulting creations may emerge as an abstraction or a dream-like scape. My current working process relies on references from the subconscious and dream states. These elements of my work may at times be recognizable or conversely, may be mostly obscured. My primary concern when I work is to follow impulses just below the surface. I paint and build first, I gain momentum by changing the surface and moving across the plane until I find something that calls to me and seems to work. This brings momentary relief…. until the next problem.” Jennifer Gillia Cutshall’s work is collected worldwide and she has designed and painted hundreds of murals and public art pieces. She is an artist and curator in Portland Oregon where she has curated over 60 exhibitions. Ceramics Katharine Eksuzian Katharine Eksuzian is a ceramicist inspired by natural motifs. She strives to understand and depict the symbiotic relationships of our environment and the importance of its protection. As a self-taught artist, intense research and a literal hands-on approach to the clay medium has been essential. Her work is driven by a respect for nature and attention to intricate detail. With a focus on ecological themes, she creates scientifically accurate to-scale sculptures that are consciously crafted and completed in a high-fire soda kiln. Eksuzian holds strong beliefs in hand crafting each sculpture entirely out of clay to fully reflect the fragile nature concepts. Being an artist, there is always a need to create. Being able to do it in a way that has a positive impact is the true challenge and is the foundation of her work. Mixed Media Kelli Cooper Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Kelli has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of New Mexico and is currently residing in Albuquerque. Her mixed media artwork has always been process oriented and experimental. Kelli’s work typically could be categorized as Figurative Expressionism and has been described as unselfconscious, relatable, and delightfully dark and twisted. Kelli’s art has a whimsical style and poignant voice; she brings the viewer in by connecting through relatable characters and shared emotional experience. Kelli has participated in many gallery shows and is a member of the Albuquerque Art Business Association, a member of Ghostwolf Gallery in Albuquerque, and is represented exclusively in Denver by Pop Gallery. She has numerous collectors all over the United States and abroad. Fiber Art Kim Tepe “I take inspiration from the natural world, layering textiles to mimic the colors and textures in the landscape; Velvets become moss, wools become tree bark, and crisp satins become ice. I see complex in the ordinary and riches in the overlooked.” Kim Tepe’s work looks to recreate textures and shapes found in nature. She creates microcosms with fabric and thread, recreating trees with life like tree bark, leaves, needles, lichen, moss, and individual mushroom gardens that stand alone to remind us of what is outside our door. Tepe uses a slew of traditional and nontraditional techniques such as quilting, embroidery and felting manipulating the media into shapes. She uses scrap fabric, upholstery samples, thrifted yarn, embroidery supplies, dying what she needs to get the desired results. Kim started in theatre costuming, learning how to use and manipulate fabrics. While in Seattle she met a group of artists creating work that resonated with her and started exploring the diversity of fiber art. In 2017 she moved to Portland where she continues to thrive. Wearable Art Leslie McMillan Washington-based Leslie McMillan trained with Master Momoko Okada in the ancient art of Japanese silver leaf, which dates back to the 15th century. Along with silver leaf, she uses traditional silversmithing techniques - including soldering, forging and casting - to create sculptural wearable art. Photographic Art Marc Sirinsky Marc Sirinsky graduated with honors from the University of Michigan School of Art and Design in 1997. Since then, his work has been included in over 80 juried, solo and group exhibitions, and has appeared in publications like F-Stop Magazine, The Hand Magazine, and Photographer’s Forum. He has numerous museum shows to his credit, and his work can be found in the permanent collections of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA and the Harold Washington Library Center in Chicago, IL. Throughout his career, Marc has focused on alternative process photographic art; incorporating a combination of both traditional and contemporary methods to address issues of beauty, memory, childhood, and mental health. These concepts are often communicated through self-portrait narratives, or unconventional approaches to landscape imagery which result in a unique perspective on the natural world. Originally from the Chicago area, Marc currently resides in Leesburg, Virginia – just north of Washington, DC. Wearable Art Melissa Stiles The late Melissa Stiles received her degree in Architecture and worked in the field for ten years before founding her jewelry company. She made modern jewelry that combines the discipline of her architectural training with the exploration of industrial materials and processes. Her work expresses modern simplicity and flawless execution with the illusion of effortless design. She strived to expose only the intentional form without gratuitous details. The result is design that celebrates the simple and pure form in beautifully wearable color combinations. Stiles worked in various materials including hand-pigmented resin, laser cut stainless steel, brushed aluminum, powder-coated enamel, and silver. These materials lend themselves to blending different means of fabrication resulting in a collection of minimal, durable jewelry in cheerful colors with bold graphic designs. Melissa worked from her home on Portland, Oregon. In partnership with her husband, Dan Stiles they produced a number of products ranging from art objects, personal accessories, to housewares. Art Dolls Pupillae (Gioconda Pieracci) My name is Gioconda, I live in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park. I love theatre, literature and I can't do without nature which inspires me and makes me feel in harmony. I am a solitary and thoughtful person. I love to travel even if it's something I haven't been able to do very often lately.This art of dollmaking was born from the need to give shape to all the images and stories that I have inside me, also inspired by the puppet scene in the film "the double life of Veronica" which I adore. For me, art and creation are the possibility of entering a "fluid zone" where one can draw and give back to the outside. Paintings & Illustrations Richard Cutshall Richard Cutshall is a Mexican-American artist who works in the mediums of drawing/painting, printmaking, and sculpture. His vast exhibition record includes over 100 group and solo shows, both nationally and internationally. His work is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the country and internationally. Some of Richard’s earliest memories involve art and he vividly remembers drawing from an early age; using it as a way to understand the sometimes frightening aspects of the world around him. Today that use of art as a way of gaining understanding continues with Cutshall describing his work as “a kind of self-exorcism.” Also a teacher with 30 years’ experience, Mr. Cutshall teaches at Mt Hood Community College and Chemeketa Community College. Currently Richard resides in Portland, OR where he and his wife Jennifer, another fellow artist, share their studios and home with one oversized Dantiff and two spoiled cats. Encaustic Sandra Alderman Sandra Alderman is an award winning encaustic and mixed media artist living on the outskirts of Portland since 2020. Embracing the Pacific Northwest and its incredible beauty, Sandra and her husband live with 3 cats, 4 crows, and multiple squirrels and birds which have all become part of their family. Her natural surroundings have a deep influence on her creative spirit, as did her experiences living in diverse states and countries -- experience that deepened her love for new places and diverse people. Sandra's main artistic focus is in the ancient art of encaustic, which dates back to 5th century BC. Her handmade medium (or paint) consists of beeswax, damar resin (tree sap) and pigment which she fuses with a blow torch on a hard wood surface. As Sandra shares: "It is a fascinating process with an intoxicating smell as the beeswax melts on my pallet. I am drawn to texture and the use of discarded bits of metal and paper to express my creative vision." Ceramic Art Sara Swink I make clay animal figures with a psychological stance. My hand-built sculptural work imparts ideas through fragments of narrative, often with a humorous edge. I use collage to gather inspiration, developing ideas through sketching. one idea leads to another in an endless progression of personal narrative that reflects and feeds my inner life. I use a gritty sculpture clay, incise into the clay, bisque fire, finish with oxides, underglazes and glazes, then fire to cone 5/6. My love of clay began at an early age with the encouragement of a neighbor who was a potter. In high school, I learned throwing and hand-building. Twenty years later I resumed classes, including a workshop with a teacher whose methodology fuses artmaking with the psychology of the creative individual, and whose approach I teach. I also pursued an academic art education at Bay Area schools through the first year of graduate study in ceramics. I taught at California venues and in my own studio, while participating in regional shows. In 2006, I moved to the Portland area, where I established Clay Circle Studio, and continue to show nationally and teach locally. In 2013, I was featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Oregon Art Beat.” Clay Sculptures Serafine Lilien Serafine is a local Portland Artist. She works in clay to create whimsical, yet realistic/stylistic sculptures of dogs, cats and other animals. Her art background is classic from studying and sculpting the figure at the National Academy of Design in NY and Artida Arts Inc. in Italy. She has an undergraduate degree in Medical Illustration, hence her realism style. Serafine has been creating art since she was in the 6th grade! Photography Sydni Indman Sydni Indman is a conceptual photographer and digital artist based in Portland, Oregon. Inspired mostly by music and philosophy, her work tends to resist narrative explanation, instead embracing ambiguity and forces at work through a darkly surreal, cinematic visual language. Exploring themes such as death, gender and cybernetics, alongside archetypal imagery, she is passionate about creating art that thinks back rather than suggesting answers. After studying drawing and painting in high school she taught herself photography and digital post-production. Wearable Art Victoria Epstein (Lyric Creations) Victoria was born & raised in MI, She attended college in NY. She lived in NYC 20 for years and PDX for 12. Jewelry training: 92nd Street Y, Penland, Mendocino, and countless other classes. She has been making jewelry for 22 years & has been a professional stage manager for dance & theatre for 30 years.

Learn about "Already been Chewed," a solo show featuring artist Wynter Jones. already been chewed. wynter jones | dec 6-27, 2025 The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present Already Been Chewed, a solo exhibition featuring Portland based artist Wynter Jones. On view on December 6-27, the show explores memory, identity, and the lingering effects of religious and patriarchal conditioning. Drawing from her early experiences growing up within the Mormon faith, this body of work unearths embedded memories—some tender, others painful, many absurd—that continue to revisit her internal landscape 25 years later. Rather than presenting a linear narrative, this body of work wanders, stumbles, and circles back on itself, mimicking the nonlinear nature of memory and the way it persists or dissipates. Through drawing and painting, she attempts to shape the intangible and blurred impressions that persist long after the doctrine has been rejected and abandoned. What emerges is more than a denunciation of patriarchy, but a complex act of witnessing. Already Been Chewed sits with the discomfort, the absurdity, and the ambiguity of what remains. It asks: What stays with us, even when we think we've moved on? What narratives and past beliefs do we internalize, and how do they continue to echo in our body? This exhibition honors the residue of lived experience—the traces of a culture that shaped, constrained, and ultimately failed to define her. In holding these fragments to the light, she invites viewers to reflect on their own histories, asking how memory, shame, tenderness, and resilience coexist within us all. About the artist Originally from Kaysville, Utah, Wynter Jones has been drawing and painting for most of her life. She holds a Masters of Education and teaches art in the Portland metro area. Wynter's art alternates between abstraction and realism, often merging the two. She also explores a variety of 2D media, such as oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, ink and pen. Wynter is interested in merging intangible marks with representational subjects, muting edges and re-defining them. She sees her art as an act of extending minutes, recapturing the passage of time with tiny marks, simple subjects, and connective patterns. already been chewed. view the collection Quick View Harken, Eve!

alone and counting. jennifer gillia cutshall art installation | feb 5 - 28, 202 The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present Alone and Counting, featuring Portland-based artist Jennifer Gillia Cutshall. On view February 5-28 2026, this art installation critically explores the rapid degradation of personal, social and natural ecosystems in the name of convenience – and the turmoil that such a degradation generates. “I am honored to create this installation in Imperfecta’s new space that promises great momentum with Daria Loi at the helm!” shares Cutshall, “It is an exciting time for the Portland art scene because Daria brings an expansive vision and she is a much-needed force of hope.” With Alone and Counting, Cutshall asks us to consider not only the increased control that technologies exert onto our collective and individual psyche, but also how precariously dependent we all have become. As she explains, “technology has heightened and reinforced a strange toxic vigilance (the quantification and measuring of vapid things like counting likes and followers on social media),” steering individuals and communities into isolation and creating increased opportunities for a surveillance society. Ironically, the same technology that was designed to connect us is the same that is dividing us – degrading human connection and entire ecosystems. “The time spent on screens far exceeds the time spent with face-to-face interactions or moments immersed in nature,” explains Jennifer G. Cutshall, “what would it be like if we traded half of our screen time for activities geared toward protecting the environment?” In Alone and Counting, Cutshall’s sculptural-builds are vignettes narrating this perilous story through gathered and gleaned objects as well as materials that she alters using open flames, hence describing our bleak and increasingly burnt realities. In such settings, a lone bride stands among a cemetery of stumps (ghosts of the flame – tree skeletons) that hang in the balance. “She stands as a matriarch (mother earth) and a symbolic figure betrayed…” shares Cutshall, “Will this marriage and devotion to technology lead to our ultimate demise or will it just leave us more alone and counting?” Cutshall engages with installations to gestate and realize ideas and spaces simultaneously – open to divergences, possibilities and adaptations. While the artist frequently engages in more traditional forms of fine art, installation art occupies the most important and primal aspect of her practice. As an artist and a curator, her conversations with space inform her installation work and create opportunities to entwine concerns with visions – anchoring her inner ruminations while holding infinite opportunities for expansion, growth, and engagement. Alone and Counting offers a unique and wondrous opportunity to not only glean Cutshall’s process but also to be touched by her longing for new realities, where social and natural ecosystems are rediscovered and re-embraced. The show debuts on February 5, with an Opening Reception from 5 to 8pm. About Jennifer Gillia Cutshall Jennifer Gillia Cutshall is an artist and curator in Portland, Oregon. Her work is collected worldwide and she has designed and painted over 200 murals and public art projects.

She was born in Mexico City from Catalan and Galician ancestry. The artist has been in a quest for the beauty held in the surreal for as long as she can remember. As a student and keen observator of magic understandings of the world, the artist has found the Soul that holds together her proposal. She communicates through fantasy images to the world, being drawing and painting her main channel. Her visual influences are many. The interest for detail comes from flemish painting. The development of drawing arises from observing the best ones of the craft like L. Lipton, W. Jamnitzer & E. Haeckel. As for the color, she likes images that have a limited palette, taking as a reference some film directors like Wes Anderson. Renata’s subjects of interest have always been non existing realities so she has been amazed by the proposal of visionary artists like Remedios Varo or H. Bosch since childhood. currently available . renata santamarina Quick View Spirit Photosynthesis (Renata Santamarina) Price $1,380.00 Quick View Heart Weavers (Renata Santamarina) Price $700.00 Quick View Oniric Dust 5 (Renata Santamarina) Out of stock Quick View Dust 2 (Renata Santamarina) Price $300.00 Quick View Heart Labyrinth (Renata Santamarina) Price $800.00 Quick View Prana 2 (Renata Santamarina) Price $300.00
