Beginning The Temple, Portland

In my Portland Studio beginning the curtains to The Mama Temple

Physical creativity has begun!

The first exhibit of The Mama Temple is slated for July 30th here in Portland Oregon. The artist compound where I have my studio is having an Open Studios event and I thought this was perfect timing to transform this beautiful art project idea into a reality.

I am currently painting the curtains that will be your entrance to The Mama Temple during her time exhibiting in Portland Oregon. The Curtains are ten feet tall and will span a fifteen foot opening to enter the temple. I wanted to create a separate space that felt sacred, safe and housed in a way that was thoughtfully curated.

I have begun to paint the walls in the temple as well, with colors that are dramatic and will compliment and enhance the artwork.

Painting this big is hard work. It is physically exhausting. I’m almost through the hard part. I know how close I am to completion and am pretty excited about it.

More to follow!
