Cedar Lee & Local Artists: Community 6 Show at Ben Will Gallery

Over the weekend, the Portland Open Studios Community 6 Preview Show went up at Ben Will Gallery in Portland’s Foster-Powell neighborhood.

This gallery doubles as the studio space for local painter Ben Will. It’s a cool space–like a big open warehouse! I remembered to get a few snapshots before the crowd arrived for the opening.

I hung five small paintings for this show, from my Tree of Life series.

I enjoyed the live music that was going on in the gallery, and had a good time meeting new friends. Here I am with Melissa Moline, a Portland-area jeweler and architect.
