Inside Lives

“Inside Lives” goes to Blue Sky Drawers by John Ritchie

I’m excited to announce that my Inside Lives project was juried into the 2024 Pacific NW Drawers in the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland Oregon. I’ll have 10 full-sized matted prints available for viewing in the gallery photo drawers from April 2024 to March 2025.

The juror was Aline Smithson, an artist and educator, as well as Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Lenscratch magazine.

There will be an opening reception Thursday, April 4 from 5-9PM as part of the Portland First Thursday Art Walk. I’ll be at the reception to meet other drawers artists and talk to people, as well as visiting it with friends throughout the course of the year.

If you’re in Portland, visit Blue Sky Gallery to see their excellent photography exhibitions and to view photography from the 60 artists’ work in the Drawers - including mine!
