The Regional Arts & Culture Council acquired one of my paintings as part of a recent purchase for display in the new Gladys McCoy Building, the Multnomah County Health Department Headquarters at 619 NW Sixth Avenue. The purchase included 99 new small to medium scale artworks from 57 artists. These artworks are new additions to the Portable Works Collection, which consists of over 1,200 works on paper, paintings, prints and textiles. Artworks for the building have been selected by a community panel to reflect qualities of Lightness, Openness & Optimism.
