- Watercolorist Gene Gill
- One of Portland's most admired watercolorists Gene Gill specializes in city street scenes, especially rainy ones! But we found out it's not the architecture that excites him. After years of success as an artist for advertising agencies, Gene has found success focusing on what he calls "realistic impressionism". He is inspired by everything from the waterfront to the park blocks. Often using models and photographs to work from, Gene's ultimate goal is to evoke a mood from what he observes.
- Gottlieb Gallery — One gallery where Gene Gill shows his work.
- Tibet artist Sonam Phuntsok
- At the Pacific Northwest College of Art, we watch as Tibet artist Sonam Phuntsok works on a giant painting called a thangka, a form of Buddhist meditation. Having been awarded a grant and finding the perfect work space at the PNCA, Sonam started on his current piece but has been creating thangkas for more than twenty years.
