Great subject for a show. I've been a successful commercial artist working all over the world for the past 25 years - living in Portland for the past 15 years. In the last few years I've been creating personal works of contemporary art and it seems almost impossible to get into any attention with the respected gallery in Portland - how can I best break-down those walls and get noticed?
Thanks.

I have been considered a "griefer" more than once as I believe that it is our public responsibility to talk with each other as citizens if we have a problem with someone's activity whether it's about their dog off leash - which can be dangerous and is illegal is most places or, as a cyclist, if a car acts dangerously. It may not be the absolutely safest way but it seems to be the right thing to actually engage and talk with one another.
Great show. Jon
