    Muralist Roster

    Muralist Roster Updated July 2018 Introduction The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) established the Muralist Roster as an on-line resource that can be used by anyone seeking an artist for a mural project – community groups, business or property owners, schools, architecture firms, private developers or other public art programs. The artists on the roster were selected by RACC’s Public Art Murals Program Committee* and have demonstrated skills, experience and interest in designing and painting large scale paintings and/or murals. 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. All artists live and work in either Oregon or Washington and have previous experience working large scale. As you review this roster, read about each of the artists in their own words and view details of up to three past projects to get a feel for their work. Links to websites and social media outlets allow you to further explore their practice. Questions? Salvador Mayoral, Public Art Associate, 503.823.5865, [email protected] Arts and culture help spark conversations, spur social change and make our community strong. RACC is committed to ensuring that everyone in our region has equal access to arts and the fundamental right to express their culture through the arts. *Public Art Murals Committee members: Brigid Blackburn, Mehran Heard, Jason Powers, Wendy Red Star, Tomas Valladares Cover artists clockwise from left: Rae Senarighi, Jeff Sheridan, Megan Perra KARL ADDISON Seattle, Washington addisonkarl.com Instagram My process explores two main domains combining humanitarian figurative and aesthetic subject matter.

I was first involved with Our House in 1991, when I volunteered as a breakfast cook, and I’ve loved its mission – “Inspiring people with HIV/AIDS to live well” – ever since. This is my third season being directly involved with Dinner at My House for Our House, and I feel lucky to be your honorary chair this year. Like me, I’m sure you’ll be impressed by all the choices, from Lite Bites to Chef’s Table to everything in-between. I love traveling – out of state, out of the country, or even just out of the city on a hike in the Oregon woods with Eddie, my trusty canine sidekick – and I’m guessing lots of you enjoy traveling too. But why not take a cross-cultural jaunt through Dinner at My House for Our House by picking out a handful of your favorite events? Stop over in Africa. Take a seat in Bali. Dive into margaritas in Mexico. And do all this right here in Portland, with kindred spirits all backing the same great cause. Many years ago, as a teenager, I was treated to a very special dinner. The place was on the dark end of a street near the docks, in an old tavern building built in the 1800s.

From among the Regional Stars, a single restaurant will be named the Oregon Wine A-List Restaurant of the Year.
