Twenty-four years old, the mother of two small daughters, and in the process of getting a divorce. Not surprisingly, she was broke. "I had always wanted to go to college," Robin remembers. "I thought it was unlikely I could ever go - I had no resources available to me. But I happened to have a good friend who kept telling me to go into the financial aid office and see what they could do." Reluctant at first, Robin finally visited the office in 1980 and , to her pleasant surprise, found that through a combination of assistance programs - grants, loans and work study - she would be able to enroll at Portland State as an undergraduate.

Stowell Bud Clark, Portland's spirited mayor-elect, keeps coming back to Portland State. Whether it's to take a class, find talent, or drop off a bag of money, the former Vanporter has been a frequent visitor to campus. And the school - as extension center,. college and university - has been an undeniable part of the urban landscape that has shaped the new mayor. Clark enrolled at Vanport as an "idealistic" youth just out of lincoln High School, and spent a year studying business technology and playing a lot of pinochle. In the next decade, after his first wife died in a traffic accident, he sought intellectual solace in anthropology and geology classes at Portland State College ("they were still playing pinochle").

  • Fantastically Oversized and Poetically Evocative Sculptures of Plants, Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables, Seedpods, and Shells Are the Subjects of Ming Fay’S Art
    ART W ORK PILLAR ARc ART IST MING FAy IN S TA LLE D 2004 U.S. COURTHOUSE SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Fantastically oversized and poetically evocative sculptures of plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, seedpods, and shells are the subjects of Ming Fay’s art. He crafts these natural forms out of various materials—including metal, wood, paper, glass, and wire—and arranges them in room-sized installations that are both visu­ ally spectacular and densely layered with meaning. These sculptures represent the physical, psychological, and spiritual nourishment provided by the botanical realm. Fay’s art is also imbued with humor and wide-ranging cultural allusions. His depictions of gigantic plants are reminiscent of the mysterious-island and forbidden-planet adventures of 1950s and ’60s science-fiction movies, while his jumbo fruit sculptures evoke the surreal Garden of Earthly Delights by the Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch. Fay’s sculptures also play with the traditional Chinese connotations of certain fruits—such as peaches (longevity), cherries (love), and pears (prosperity)—that he adapts for his own metaphorical uses. Overall, Fay’s work reveals the innate wonder and complexity of even the humblest natural forms, which are part of the vast ecosystem that we share. Y To create Pillar Arc for the courthouse in Seattle, Fay took inspiration from a single scale of a cedar cone. Fay selected the cedar because of its spiritual and historical connections to the Pacific Northwest. Some of the largest Western Red cedars grow on the Olympic Peninsula. The tree also has special symbolic meaning and practical uses for the area’s Native American communities, who for centuries have used its pliable bark for weaving and its durable wood for building longhouses and A canoes.

  • Metro Councilor Tanya Collier
    Metro Councilor Tanya Collier District 9, 1986 to 1993 Oral History ca. 1993 Tanya Collier Metro Councilor, District 9 1986 – 1993 Tanya Collier was born in Tulare, California in 1946, and moved to Portland, Oregon with her family in 1950, where she attended a number of public grade schools, including West Gresham, Lane, Kelly, Binnsmead, and Kellogg, before enrolling in St. Anthony’s Catholic School. She graduated from John Marshall High School in southeast Portland, and went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree in Political Science at Clackamas Community College in 1973. In 1975, Ms. Collier earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Portland State University (PSU), and received a Master’s of Public Administration degree from PSU in 1979. Ms. Collier’s path to elected office was marked by both professional and voluntary activities in the public and non-profit sectors. Over a ten year period, she gained valuable experience in public policy development through her work as executive director of Multnomah County Children’s Commission (1976-1978); as staff assistant to Multnomah County Commissioner Barbara Roberts (1978); as special project manager at the City of Portland’s Bureau of Budget and Management (1980); and as assistant director and later, director of Multnomah County’s Department of Intergovernmental Relations and Community Affairs (1980-1983). In October 1983, she was hired as the general manager of Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. (PECI) – a non-profit corporation charged with implementing the private sector goals of the City of Portland’s Energy policy. In March 1985, Ms. Collier applied her special skills in group negotiation to her position as labor representative with the Oregon Nurses Association – a position she retained while holding elected office at Metro.

  • Ming Fay: Beyond Nature
    Ming Fay: Beyond Nature Curated by Alexandra Chang, Curator of Special Projects and Director of Global Arts Programs at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University April 18 - June 1, 2019 Opening Thursday, April 18, 6 pm - 8 pm Hope to see you on Thursday April 18 for the opening reception. Raushan, Nina, Salima, Ming, Parker and Alexandra Sapar Contemporary is proud to present Beyond Nature, Ming Fay’s first exhibition with the gallery. From our catastrophic tampering in the Anthropocene to the tension and balance of man and creation through the practice of Tai Chi Chuan, in the exhibition Beyond Nature Shanghai-born New York- based artist Ming Fay explores our multivalent relationship to nature. During the 1980s, Fay was a member of Epoxy Art Group, an artist collective with many members from China and Hong Kong who were living in New York's vibrant artist haven of the Lower East Side. Finding inspiration from Asian and Asian American traditions, his work, including large-scale fruits and alien plant forms, is familiar yet surreal, serving as a warning to our assumptions that we are beyond the control of nature. Please join us for the opening reception on April 18, 6-8 pm RSVP Not required but appreciated - via Facebook Sapar Contemporary, TriBeCa, 9 N Moore Street, NY, NY 10013 (near Canal St and Franklin St subways) Ming Fay in his work comments upon the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Drawing on an extensive knowledge of both Eastern and Western horticulture and mythologies, along with his close observation of personally collected items such as fruits, seeds, and bones, Fay often reworks nature’s forms in order to fabricate imaginary species.
