Artist
Riley Gorman (he/him) is a painter working with acrylics, oils and block prints in Portland, OR. He graduated from Humboldt State University in northern California in 2017 with a BS in wildlife conservation and management.

His work depicts the relationships across species and environments. Much of his inspiration draws on his experience as a wildlife biologist studying the nesting behaviors of threatened and endangered birds across forests, wetlands and grasslands. 

Beyond his ecological inspirations, Gorman's artistic voice extends into the realms of queer experience . He explores the parallels between trans identities, love and power between our human experience and the natural world. His choice of species with unique sexual mating systems and societies are used to convey queer narratives.

Artist, Events/Community Organizer, Studio Management
Huntress (She/They) is a multimedia artist, dancer, and community organizer. She makes many things, but what’s most notable these days are miniature snails, spaces, and friends.

Whether it’s an installation, a common space or a program, the spaces that Huntress creates are designed to be places for rest and (re)connection. She believes that personal inner-work not only heals the individual, but the collective as a whole. For this reason, she’s developed an expressive arts group that practices Focusing. "Focusing" is a somatic process of inner/self exploration and understanding. The practice is grounded by embracing curiosity, gratitude, acceptance and love for all that you find within.

Artist, Studio Owner & Manager
Rebecca is a Portland-based artist specializing in leatherwork and face painting. With a passion for sustainability, she focuses on custom leather creations and repairs, breathing new life into well-loved, functional items rather than contributing to the growing tide of consumerism. Rebecca’s leatherwork offers a chance to restore and elevate what already exists, adding lasting quality to pre-owned pieces.

As a face painter, she finds joy in the transformative power of art, using it to celebrate the sacred and bring joy to children.

Whether crafting with leather or painting faces, her work is grounded in a deep desire to create meaningful, joyful experiences.
