PDX Red Wall

A thing happened!

Last Friday my painting, PDX 2022, was rolled out at the PDX Red Wall.

PDX Red Wall is a grassroots project by artists, giving painters, photographers, and the like the opportunity to display work as huge mural-sized vinyl prints on the side of their NE Portland building.

I wondered what a reproduction of my smaller, 17.5”x22.5”, mixed media painting would look like in this large blown-up scale. So I was really happy to first have it professionally scanned by local Gango Editions. The texture, depth, and almost 3-dimensionality they were able to capture was exactly what I’d hoped for, and all the detail of the original was immediately revealed as the print was unfurled.

I’d love to paint a mural this large one day, but I’ve also wondered how the texture, detail, and mixed media that I like to incorporate in my paintings would translate onto a wall. But seeing this hanging helped me get an idea of how to go about it someday, so the experience was just great all around.

It’s hanging now through December 22nd at the PDX Red Wall, 2106 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Portland OR 97212. If you’re local, walk, roll, or drive by to check it out!

I’m also selling 11”x14” prints of PDX 2022, also printed by Gango Editions. Please keep them in mind for yourself or as gifts for your loved ones + friends this holiday season. Reach out if you’d like one!
