Current Events and Exhibits

I’ll have a painting in the PRAx Open (Corvallis, Oregon)

When: On view from November 19 through December 19, 2026 
Where: Stirek Gallery at PRAx 

The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx) and the Division of Extension and Engagement at Oregon State University are holding a juried art exhibition featuring work from across Oregon. The exhibition emphasizes work that speaks — in any number of conceivable ways — to the places where the contributing artists live and to the importance of community, connection and collaboration.
