April 2017 Introduction The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) established the Design Team Roster as an on-line resource that can be used by anyone seeking an artist for a project – community groups, business or property owners, schools, architecture firms, private developers or other public art programs. The Roster provides a pool of highly qualified artists, and increases the efficiency of the selection process. The intent of the roster is to provide users a range of artistic styles from which to select an artist that fits the needs of a particular project -- creating an art plan for a site; collaborating on early design along with having a budget to create artwork(s); identifying opportunities for other artists to provide design elements within the construction budget and/or complemented with public art funds; or, for creating a distinctive artwork for a site. These artist have demonstrated skills, experience and interest in commissioned projects. As you review this roster, please read the artists’ statement and view details of up to three past projects to get a feel for their work. You are strongly encouraged to visit the artists’ websites and social media outlets to further explore their practice. Please note that there are two different PDF versions you can view/download with the larger PDF containing artists’ resumes. Questions?

Boiling Municipal Building, Boston, 2015 MARYJO ANDERSON Nehalem, OR mjandersonsculpture.com I am interested in spatial relationships, materials and human interactions within public spaces. I am interested in producing work that has energy, meaning, metaphor and multiple layers of understanding. The collaborative lends itself to work that has sincerity and integrity. I believe art should not mimic architecture but enhance architecture, that public art need not please everyone but rather respect the diversity of a community. Although primarily a stone sculptor, I have spent many years working with other art forms and materials such as bronze, cast iron and temporal installations. I believe in making art that provides access and insight into the human experience - artwork that elicits personal emotion while at the same time speaks to a public audience. Since 2003 I have been exploring the role of smaller more intimate presentations of art in the public arena, a result of my continuing research of niches in public spaces in Italy. I have experience working with landscape architects, architects and committees on designs for urban space Top to bottom: To Scale the Scales of Justice, 2010, Salem, OR; Eyrie, 2013; La Grazia, 2011 M.J.

My installations explore the relationship between nature and infrastructure, body and place; revealing layers of personal and cultural memory and experience. My work also explores the way that the body relates to and inhabits space and how human perception is transformed by position and movement. Understanding and working with context and multiple scales of engagement are my strengths. And, synthesizing the many complex layers of a site into a conceptual framework further embodies meaning for the work. My art installations try to engage people who encounter them not only as spectators, but often also as participants in the work in some way. Environmental sustainability plays a generative role in the conceptual development, form and material expression of my art installations. For every project I undertake, I begin with an intimate reading of the site, and then expand my observations to ever-widening arcs of investigation that include explorations of historical, geographical, cultural, and environmental layers. The concept, form, materiality and experiential qualities of my work emerge from these very site-specific beginnings.

Anholt’s practice ranges from complex integrated works in parks, pedestrian walkways and transit stations to small scale installations in buildings and public plazas across North America. Her installations explore the relationship between nature and infrastructure, body and place; revealing layers of personal and cultural memory and experience. Environmental sustainability plays a generative role in the conceptual development, form and material expression of many of her works. In addition to her art practice, Jill is an instructor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver.
