Jill Cardinal at Passionflower Design

How lucky were we when local teacher and artist Jill Cardinal said, "Yes, she'd love to have a show upstairs in our attic gallery during the month of September." ? And yes, she would be happy to curate our front window with a little teaser for her show entitled A LITTLE FOREST FOR MY HEART & OTHER STORIES. The show opens on Friday September 3 , the window is up now. And, as always we are charmed and amazed by what happens when we throw open our window (so to speak), let an artist wander through our basement and showfloor and bring their magic to the space. And we are equally as intrigued as we wonder just what will flow from the studio of this prolific artist. I first met Jill when I took one of her classes at Oregon Art Supply - she is the queen of collage and book arts in Eugene. And you know we love collage and bookarts!

Jill has a lot of hearts.....see them all in a banner across the window?

And here's these small clay hearts that she's making with sticks and wires and metal pieces attached to them......


It is a magical forest......

And if you're here on Friday night about 6 p.m., and if you listen very carefully, you may hear some remarks from the artis. In the meantime click here should you like to read her artist's statement. Or click here should you like to get some ideas about the classes she is teaching at Oregon Art Supply
