Hey friends & collectors,
Hello from my cozy Portland studio! As we dive into the holiday hustle, I'm making a point to prioritize what really fills me up: good conversation and sharing space with wonderful people… like you!
That's the spirit behind two pop-up events I'm hosting this week, and it's the same energy I've poured into a brand new series now on my website.
I hope to see you out in the world this week and share some of this vibrant energy with you.
And if you’re unable to attend, take a tour of this new series on my website - it's bang’n good stuff! It began as a limited series of 21 pieces, and the energy is already building—four have already found homes with collectors.
Which one speaks to you? Let me know...
Cheers!
Art, Sushi & Cherry Cocktails at Masu
Let’s kick things off with a taste of vibrant color and community. I’m excited to share that my painting, “Very Cherry,” is part of a brilliant collaborative installation that blends the worlds of sushi and art at the incredible Masu Sushi.
Think of it as a burst of Pop-Art energy to brighten a winter evening. I’d love for you to see it in person and say hello.
Join me for the opening reception during the Pearl District’s First Thursday Art Walk:
Thursday, Dec 4
5:00 - 7:00 PM
We’ll have happy-hour specials, a signature cherry cocktail crafted just for this event, and of course, great art and conversation. Swing by!
Come for Happy Hour, and if you really wanna treat yourself, I encourage you to stay and reserve a table for dinner! This place is superb.
Wine, Art, & Good Vibes Pop-Up
Think of this as the perfect, no-fuss weekend plan: I’m bringing a collection of my new Supersession series to the beautiful Boedecker Cellars for an afternoon of art, incredible Willamette Valley Pinot, and thoughtfully curated charcuterie.
It’s a chance to experience the work up close, enjoy some good conversation, and soak in the good vibes. Pair your visit with the NW Marine Art Works Open Studios + Holiday Market just one block over.
Saturday, Dec 6
1:00 - 6:00 PM
Why: Art, wine, music & good vibes.
Admission: Free
Hope to see you there!
Introducing:
The Supersession Series
I’m so excited to announce that my newest series of paintings, Supersession, is now available on my website.
This series is, at its heart, about the forceful emergence of new ideas. It’s that powerful, and sometimes messy, process where the new doesn't just ask for a seat at the table—it reshapes the whole room. In these paintings, you can see the old layers and settled patterns getting interrupted by bold, energetic bursts of color.
It’s a limited series of 21 pieces, and the energy is already building—four have already found homes with collectors.
And a quick note on collecting:
* Free & Easy Shipping:
I handle the details so you don’t have to.
* Hassle-Free Returns & Exchanges:
I want you to be completely in love with your piece.
* Hand-Delivery in Portland:
For my local collectors, I’d be delighted to personally deliver and install your new painting.

Hope to see - or chat with you - soon. Wishing you all the best.
With gratitude,
Garrick
