Why: In 1985 I was plotting my way out of Pendleton Oregon, making frequent trips to the Oregon Coast, often detouring through downtown Portland … frequented an Art Gallery near Pioneer Courthouse Square. My dream was ignited to create my own gallery to sell my scenic photography while representing other photographers who had images unique to my style.
35 years later the pandemic reinvigorated my dream. I offered to sell the paintings of my friend-turned-studiomate Graham Salisbury. Shortly after setting up his two websites, we sold a few paintings, making me aware that I was projecting my old dream on him and his art.
1 - GrahamSalisbury.com - to refresh his existing page, only defining his three arts. His music career (still receiving music royalties) his Author page - highlighting his Scott Odell Award-winning - Under the Blood Red Sun, and a basic page about his painting. A place to invite his existing fans to follow his new passion to paint.
2 - SalisburyPaintings.art - Dedicated to his painting journey.
3 - DoubleInfinity.art - now studiobgallery.art - a place to represent other artists. The second of which?.. me!
4 - Gratitudaholic.com - focused on my two loves, photography and writing … an early morning practice that brought Graham and I together in 2008 … frequenting the same Lake Oswego coffee shop every morning at 5:30am.
Late 2024, fate brought me to the owner of Milieu Gallery. I was eying her space at Bridgeport Village, unaware that she had already signed a lease for that very reason… Serendipity brought us together, and now I know why.
So, here we are!… Come celebrate this 40 years-in-the-making event. 10% of purchases will benefit the NRDC. A planet-protecting cause that I began contributing to more than 20 years ago.
