Artist Profiles

Dee Andersen


I have been making and selling jewelry for about fifteen years. Three years ago, I started to incorporate bead weaving into my designs and was totally sold on the color, texture and detail possible with this medium. My work is sold at the White Bird Gallery in Cannon Beach, Oregon and also at Guardino Gallery in N.E. Portland. I also have an Etsy sitehttp://deeandersen.etsy.com/.

Jennifer Campbell

 Jennifer Campbell creates “Jewelry with a tale to tell” using remarkable, curious, and charmed artifacts carefully sorted and re-imagined to create one-of-a-kind necklaces, earrings, brooches and bracelets. Her jewelry brings the mystery, romance, and intrigue of a time gone by.  The inner works of watches and found vintage treasures become their own stories of history and science fiction with a sense of romance.  Many of Jennifer's pieces have a Steampunk edge, which has its roots in 19th century Victorian England when steam power was a major power source.


Jewelry pieces created by Jennifer of Jennifer Campbell Design have been used in the Portlandia television series and are available at Anne Bocci Boutique and Thea's Vintage Living in Portland. Jennifer was voted Best Accessory Designer “People's Choice” at the 2013 Portland Fashion and Style Awards.

I am a Northwest artist with a life-long interest in art.  My desire to create led me to begin taking art classes in the 1980 where I focused on painting landscapes and still life using watercolors. In 2001 I discovered painting on silk and galleries started selling my one-of-a-kind silk scarves and wall hangings. 

My creative inspirations come from the natural beauty found in land of the Pacific Northwest.  My impressionistic landscapes, now painted with oils, draw in the viewer with bold use of color and line. Recently I began to explore collage using mixed media to create complex, colorful images. “My goal in art making is to create unique beauty and complexity that draws in the viewer and provides a pleasurable and memorable experience.”

At age nine I was given a Kodak Brownie and for the past 45+ years have had a camera or two around my neck, on my shoulder or within arms reach. I've always been fascinated by how natural light can create a playful rhythm, or a somber mood. My work captures this light as it dances across my subject whether it’s children stomping through Portland puddles, clothes drying on a line or an edgy street scene.


For the past five years I’ve also enjoyed sharing my passion and joy of photography working as a teacher offering PhotoCamps for young people here in Portland and in Honduras.  www.judidavisphotography.com

I am a photographer working on two coast:  Oregon and Newfoundland.  I am drawn to light and line and the juxtaposition of the two.  I also am exploring the interplay of transferring photographs onto metal, plastic and wood.

I’ve always looked to meld the visual with the tactile, and holding a book should be a very tactile experience. A book should feel good in your hand and encourage you to explore it. Book design should accommodate function as well as draw you to touch and open it. The books I make are varied, from blank journals and travel journals, to baby books and wedding sets, to artist books
developed around a content concept, but all meet these criteria. Recently I’ve been investigating new non-traditional, non-codex book structures and 2-dimensional work that pushes the conventional understanding of what a book is.
