Page dedicated to the solo show titled "celtae Arboreum' which features Mexican Surrealist Renata Santamarina tapestry of soul. sandra alderman | august 6-29, 2026 On view from August 6 to 29, 2026, Tapestry of Soul presents the latest collection by Sandra Alderman. As the artist explains: "Moving from the east coast to the west in the summer of COVID, Tapestry of Soul started weaving itself together organically as I unpacked what was important enough to bring. Using the ancient art form of encaustic, a medium of beeswax and tree sap, the pieces began to take shape as I leaned into what is at the core of me - country, community, climate and care for all people." This body of work is a personal inventory of the artist's heart, a connection of materials and thought. Alderman used the act of making as a healing tool to navigate these difficult times, and to tell a story about what is. As viewers contemplate her work, the artist asks a simple question: "What is in your weave?" Sandra Alderman's handmade medium (or paint) consists of beeswax, damar resin (tree sap) and pigments 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." About the artist 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 -- experiences 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. tapestry of soul . explore the collection We don’t have any products to show here right now.

A manageable paradox is an art solo show featuring Erin R. Grant a manageable paradox. erin robinson grant | june 4 - 27, 2026 A Manageable Paradox (June 4-27, 2026) features Portland artist Erin Robinson Grant and her interest in the visceral materiality of the body and the uneasy boundaries that humans maintain with the natural world. Through her practice and by leveraging diverse media, Erin conceptually explores the crossing, blurring and elimination of such artificially constructed boundaries. In this collected body of work, Erin has captured moments of liminality: bodies eviscerated and unfurled to flora and fauna, the fragility of exposed flesh to feral specimens, and the fervent dread of the self’s collapse into nothingness. The title of this exhibit reflects the artist’s aim to create a moment of beautiful equilibrium from chaotic disintegration. Through drawings, paintings, and sculpture, Erin R. Grant strives to capture a moment of aesthetic stability in the continuous entropy that permeates our corporeal existence. In addition to conjuring beauty from decay, she has also imbued her work with a sensitive humor drawn from revulsion. By balancing temporal levity against inexorable obliteration, the art in this exhibit depicts a manageable paradox. about the artist. 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 explores birth, death, and one’s abject responses to them. 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 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. a manageable paradox . explore the collection Quick View Mechanical Drawing: Black and Grey Bee (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $40.00 Quick View Mechanical Drawing: Bee (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $40.00 Quick View Mechanical Drawing: Bees in your teeth (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $55.00 Quick View Mechanical Drawing: Rotten Fruit (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $55.00 Quick View Mechanical Drawing: I’m Covered in Beeeeees (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $55.00 Quick View Sewing Bee (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $1,000.00 Quick View Root Creature (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $60.00 Quick View Bee in your Pot (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $45.00 Quick View Bee in your Pot (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $45.00 Quick View Vanitas: Bees (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $55.00 Quick View Vanitas: Skull (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $350.00 Quick View Meat Tree 3 (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $500.00 Quick View Meat Tree 1 (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $1,100.00 Quick View Possum Blossom (Erin Robinson Grant) Price $1,300.00 Quick View Rat Attack!

Page dedicated to the solo show titled "celtae Arboreum' which features Mexican Surrealist Renata Santamarina celtae arboreum. renata santamarina | july 2 - august 1, 2026 In Celtae Arboreum by Renata Santamarina works are inspired by Ogham, a celtic tradition which perceives trees as archetypes that deliver a specific message. Ogham – often referred to as the Celtic Tree Alphabet – is an alphabet found on monumental inscriptions from the fourth to sixth centuries AD and in manuscripts from the sixth to ninth centuries AD. It consists of groups of one to five lines arranged vertically over a stem line, with each group representing a distinct letter. According to the High Medieval Bratharogam, each of the 20 Ogham letters was assigned a specific tree name (the nin) and a short descriptive phrase (the bratharogam). Artist Renata Santamarina studied the Ogham philosophy to create the pieces part of this collection. Each work is an invitation to explore how the soul of each represented tree might mirror one's inner self, to perhaps discover some magic within. About the artist Renata Santamarina has been creating her utopia since 1996. 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 channels. 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. The installation debuts on June 4, with an Opening Reception from 5 to 8pm. celtae arboreum . explore the collection Quick View Ash: Do you honor your place in the world?

This page talks about Blue Russian Beads - their original and story. Hiraeth. The term Hiraeth is derived from the Welsh words hir ("long") and aeth ("pain" or "longing"), often described as a presence of absence. The Hiraeth Space at Imperfecta is 1/3 live gallery, 1/3 evolving installation and 1/3 a home that never was. As an Italian immigrant that settled in the United States 20 years ago after almost 10 years in Australia, I cannot easily describe what "home' means. What are its flavour and smell? What its sound? Who's left inside? Alongisde marvellous artworks from Imperfecta artists, my Hireath is filled with memories - a past time that I long to re-inhabit, even if for only a day. You will find my grandfather's typewriter alongside childhood memories of afternoons spent in his studio, day dreaming. In a corner you may notice the chandelier that used to be in my mum's bedroom, as well as furniture from my family's home. There are abandoned umbrellas that I picked from Milan's street in my 20s, a beatup radio player that I used for my vynil records as a teenager and red brocade that has been in my family for several generations. Ask me and you will discover that each object has a story and a longing for a time that is and is not. If a piece inside Hiraeth has a number, then it is available for adoption. The rest is there for you to enjoy. Be gentle with all items and please touch only wit your eyes.

This page focuses on Gallery Artist Steve Eichenberger, including artworks currently available for purchase. gallery artist . steve eichenberger I perceive my “inner artist” as a separate, mysterious entity with boundless energy that wanders mostly hidden in the recesses of my mind, and regards me as simply the “meat person” to carry out its wishes...which is fine by me... Full-time Oregon artist since 1995, fluent in several media. Voraciously experimenting—since curiosity is on fire but life is fleeting. From my own inner experience (epic dreams, for example), and the relayed experiences of others, it appears our brains have virtually infinite powers of imagination. What an awesome tool to have at our disposal! Our intelligent awareness is a phenomenon that resists quantitative explanation, but I think it’s a perpetual illusion that sustains our perception of ourselves from cradle to grave. In other words, our imagination hosts our sense of who we are.

Explore Jennifer Gillia Cutshall's artworks on Imperfecta.xyz. gallery artist . 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.
