GO Gallery

Nanette Wallace, a master monotype printmaker whom I consider one of the true legends of the medium. I call her the "one pull wonder".
Seen here: "River Walk" Plate size: 11x14" Frame: 21x25"
Nanette has an incredible ability to pull multiple layers and colors from a single inked plate, She’s a painter that has mastered layering different viscosity inks onto plexiglass. She moves the ink with q-tips and other materials and pulls the paper one time, as opposed to several pulls for several colors to get her masterpieces.
I'm fortunate to still have one framed print from her in the collection. In my opinion, Nanette is among the finest monotype printmakers working today, and it's always a pleasure to share her work.

Just in: the last available print of Hibiki Miyazaki’s "Natural Selection".
I recently picked up Hibiki Miyazaki’s last available print of “Natural Selection” from a closed edition. This piece is so remarkable that I felt compelled to take up close photos.
Hibiki’s mastery of intaglio printmaking is extraordinary—her intricate detail, technical precision, and poetic imagery make her one of Oregon’s true artistic treasures.
“Natural Selection” is now available online and through GO Gallery.

I’m excited to share that I recently received two new copper plate etchings from Fran Lee. “Squirrel Girl” and “Hug Me” have just been added to the GO Gallery website (link in bio) and are now available for purchase. It was great to have Fran drop by my print studio which is now open to the public by appointment.

Very excited to receive new prints from Margaret Van Patten for GO Gallery Seen here is her etching “Reminiscences”. You can also see Margaret’s work in a current exhibition at the Portland Art Museum called : Inkling Studio: Community and Printmaking in Portland, 1981–2009”
Inkling Studio occupied a storefront on SW Corbett for more than 25 years and became one of Portland’s most important collaborative printmaking spaces. More than 100 artists worked through the studio over the decades, creating an environment rooted in mentorship, experimentation, and community. You can see her entire catalog of prints online. See link in bio.

Mary LeMieux-Ruibal’s bead art talismans are incredibly rare, and I’m honored that she chose GO Gallery as the sole source for her work.

Based in Philadelphia, Mary creates deeply personal hand-beaded pieces that blur the line between adornment, sculpture, and sacred object. I’ve always loved supporting glass bead arts, and her work is truly in a league of its own.

These pieces are not available anywhere else. See the entire collection online.

Today’s highlight: John Opie’s special collection of acrylic post–abstract expressionist drawings on paper from the 1960s
Emerging from university art school at the end of the 1950s, John began painting within the abstract expressionist movement of the era, developing a personal vocabulary of shapes, gesture, and improvisation. Over time, recognizable forms slowly entered the work, creating paintings that move fluidly between abstraction and observation.
These small acrylic works on paper from the 1960s feel remarkably fresh today—stream-of-consciousness compositions balancing spontaneity, structure, and experimentation. They capture an important moment when artists were exploring the space between pure abstraction and the everyday world.

Pamela Jensen’s incredible collection of pe**te stitch beaded rocks and antlers are listed on GO Gallery Online. I'm so pleased to continue to represent her work!
Pamela’s work transforms natural forms like stones and antlers into intimate, meditative objects layered with color, texture, and care. I’m thrilled to make these works available again through GO Gallery online.
Bead art has long been one of my favorite—and most underrecognized—art forms. The level of labor, patience, and technical skill involved is extraordinary, yet bead artists are rarely compensated for the immense amount of time invested. For many makers, it remains a true labor of love rather than profit.
Pe**te stitch is a traditional bead weaving technique where beads are meticulously stitched around forms and objects, creating richly textured surfaces that feel both sculptural and ceremonial.

New painting by Joel Briggs just added to his online collection: A Quiet, Late Afternoon Cove, Boardman Corridor — acrylic on wood panel, 8 x 10 inches.

I’m particularly drawn to Joel’s work because of the deep symbolism woven into his Pacific Northwest landscapes. His paintings often move beyond traditional landscape painting into something more contemplative and mythic, sometimes incorporating Byzantine-inspired iconography and spiritual undertones within familiar regional terrain.

Joel’s use of color, atmosphere, and symbolic imagery creates works that feel both grounded in place and timeless. Quiet paintings that reveal more the longer you spend with them.

This new work is now available through GO Gallery online.

Featured Painter: Terry Waldron of Eugene Oregon.
One of the guiding ideas behind GO Gallery is “connecting Portland artists with collectors nationwide.”
As traditional brick-and-mortar galleries continue to disappear, I’m committed to using the online gallery to help broadcast some of my favorite Oregon and Washington artists beyond the Pacific Northwest. We are incredibly rich with talent here, even as the physical market for artists continues to shrink.
One artist I’m especially excited to share is Terry Waldron of Eugene, Oregon. I love Terry’s fearless and intuitive use of color—her paintings feel spontaneous, emotionally charged, and alive with gesture and invention.
Terry’s paintings are driven by instinct, risk, and a willingness to work without a fixed outcome. Beginning each piece without a predetermined image, she allows the process itself—often through moments of disruption and reworking—to shape the final composition.
Her work is populated with figures, animals, ghosts, and symbolic forms, rendered in flattened spaces that nod to folk and naïve traditions. Beneath this visual language is an ongoing exploration of loss, memory, and the unknown.”
For Portland-area print enthusiasts, my print studio is now open by appointment for those interested in viewing the print portfolios recently shown at the Lovett Deconstruction pop-up in person.

Davis Te Selle’s waterless lithograph collection, another Portland treasure, is available online. Davis is a master printmaker whose atmospheric works balance technical precision with quiet observation. His richly layered landscapes and contemplative imagery reflect a deep respect for the handmade print and the natural world.
I was so busy preparing the Lovett Deconstruction pop-up that I didn’t have a chance to properly introduce Davis Te Selle and the beautiful collection of waterless lithographs now available through GO Gallery.
Te Selle also created the original stone lithographs published in Conversation with Trees: An Intimate Ecology by Stephanie Kaza.
His collection is now available online, and for those who prefer seeing the work in person, stay tuned—another GO Gallery pop-up is already in the works.
