Welcome to the world of Janet and Jay O’Rourke. We have been collaborating for over 45 years. Whimsical fairies, Flower Birds, Mythical Mermaids, and other fanciful imagery, drawn in elaborate patterns and textures, is the hallmark of Janet O’Rourke Designs. Janet’s pencils, paintbrushes and carving tools are her magic wands. Jay’s lathe and carving tools are his magic. Together they create unique, one-of-a-kind work.

My compositions emphasize endangered species, ecosystem relationships, and cultural reflection to encourage action to protect the world we love. I paint dynamic landscapes which attract the public to get close and discover details, while also experiencing a sense of connection to the action depicted, a signature style of my painting. I have dedicated myself to community engagement, mentoring youth and collaborating with emerging artists using a community-based process of making public murals locally and internationally since 2005.

Watercolor painting has been my main medium for 30 years. I began to paint with oils at the beginning of the pandemic when a friend gave me all her oil paints, canvases, and brushes! I fell in love with how the paint moves along the canvas and the richness of color. Sensuality and expression are important on the canvas and I want others to feel it too when they look at my work. My work has appeared on book and CD covers. Find me on Facebook at Demetra Kalams, Artist.

I am a trans artist who has been working in the Eugene area since 2015. I make paintings that range from small, intimate portraits to enveloping murals. My work is characterized by mesmerizing colors, potent symbols, expressive figuration, and dreamlike composition. I like making paintings about queer joy that scratch the itch in my heart for beauty, meaning, and survivance. You can connect with me on Instagram @efsoleil.

Cindy Ingram is obsessed with color! She created The Happy Hill Homestead, a flower farm in Cottage Grove to grow inspiration for her abstract art. Visitors are welcome one day a week during the growing season for u-pick flowers and tiny art gallery/farm store. When Cindy is not growing flowers, she is painting dramatically colorful one-of-a-kind works of art. She loves commission projects and opportunities to celebrate the amazing world of color.

Cultural Services supports the City of Eugene's vision for an accessible and thriving cultural sector, including the Hult Center for the Performing Arts and our Community Events and Public Art programs. This team works to create opportunities for shared experiences that contribute to the community’s social and economic well-being. We consult, involve, and collaborate with artists through performances, temporary and permanent art exhibitions and installation opportunities. We work with cultural producers to cultivate a healthy and inclusive arts ecosystem through grant programs such as Art in the Parks and Downtown Program Fund. We believe the work of the arts creates a stronger, more vibrant and creative community with programs like National Dance Week and Visual Arts Week.

{KhaoStasis} I utilize chaos in my artworks to create harmony, a reminder to find beauty in life. I am specifically curious about the visual connections found in nature, atomic structures, and celestial forms. These connections are inspired by physics, nature, and memory. I enjoy painting large and have many murals in Eugene and the surrounding areas.
