| My family traveled the Oregon Trail |
| and we have been here ever since; |
| why would we leave? My husband |
| and I live in Portland and through
our |
| traveling have come to realize how |
| blessed we are to have beautiful and |
| abundant art in this city. |
| |
| I studied art in many places including |
| Whitman College, Portland State |
| University, Pacific Northwest College
of |
| Art, and Portland Community College,
|
| and I continue to explore new ideas
|
| and mediums. |
