EXHIBITION NEWS
Coming soon! Verum Ultimum Art Gallery, 3014 NE Ainsworth Boulevard, Portland, OR is staging an exhibition called “Streetwise.” It opens with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2014. You are invited and encouraged to witness Urban Snake with a Pomegranate debut at this showing. There will be 36 other artists participating as well. The show will run through May 24, 2014; best to call and make a viewing appointment: 503.493.4278.
And then … The Clackamas County Arts Alliance is allowing about 36’ of wall space for twelve artworks as part of their 2014 Artist Exhibit Program. Sue Allen is the Exhibit Coordinator. The program allows Clackamas County visual artists space to show their work in public venues. My work from the “Impossible” series can be seen in the Public Services Building – Entry Gallery, 2051 Kaen Road, Oregon City. This is the area greeting visitors from the parking lot. Building hours are Monday through Thursday, 7: a.m. to 6 p.m.
Most of these works have never before enjoyed public viewing opportunity. All are framed originals using archival materials throughout. Sales are handled by (me) the artist, yet art must remain for the entire exhibition period. This is from Thursday, May 8, 2014 through Thursday, August 14, 2014. Questions about specific works and/or payment plans can be emailed either to mickey@artmsr.com or mickeyro@comcast.net or by phone to my cell: 503.334.5566.
I am so thankful for this opportunity to get more of my work out there and seen. The exhibit features Love Tangles, Free to Be, Dumping Ground, Drip, Doorways, A Circle Goes ‘Round and ‘Round/A Square Doesn’t, Space Chicken Peeks at Infinity, Perspective, Square Root, After the Kiss, Emanations, and Penetration. The smallest is 15.75” x 12.75”; the largest 36” x 24”.
So I would like to invite you out to view this hanging. If there’s interest, we can arrange an opening party (after 5/8 when the show gets hung). I’d love to see you and hear what you have to say about the artwork. Let’s talk and/or email. Thank you.

When I was a child, it was our custom to play word games on family road trips. One game was “I see something beginning with the letter ___.” A typical exchange might involve the letter “C,” for cow, Chevrolet, or California license plate, the rest of us guessing what that person saw. One time it was my turn and I said, “I see something beginning with the letter “M.” Miles later, my sisters and parents were past frustration. Nobody could guess what I was seeing. I, the youngest, announced, “Midair!”
Despite obvious retaliation from that encounter, the unseen continues its attraction. Today it finds expression in abstract art for its capacity to delineate those un-nameable emotions and experiences. I explore color, form, texture and composition to give physical life to the abstract. Color is used as a primary element second only to compositional forces.
Road trips take many forms. My art offers several routes.
