Beacon artist opens studio to beginners Not too long ago, Beacon High School offered woodworking classes in a space now occupied by Rexhill Studio. An old sign outside one of the warren of rooms in the KuBe Art Center reads: "GO4 Wood Shop." Today, students can access a Construction Trade curriculum that includes some woodworking instruction through Dutchess BOCES. Two are enrolled. Exemplifying the decline of practical manual arts education, studio co-owner Justin King attended the Oregon College of Art and Craft, which shuttered in 2019 after 112 years. To fill the instructive void, King launched an eight-week introduction to the basics, Woodshop Beacon, which sold out fast and wrapped up on Wednesday (May 21). "We have fewer places to do this kind of thing," he says. "With YouTube and other videos, you're starting in the middle and backtracking to the beginning, so this helps plug in the knowledge gap." The endgame for the class is a handmade square box, a task that requires several basic skills. A model jewel case that King created is shaped to near perfection, with seamless joints; the top tray nestles inside with zero wiggle room. Press a button in the back and out pops a hidden drawer. "Boxes can be simple, but they require time, dedication and ability," says King. The name Rexhill, incorporating the Latin word for his last name, harks to the family farm in Ohio. After making his way to Portland, he met his wife, Paula, who plays an instrumental role at the studio. The couple drifted east with stopovers because there are lots of woodworkers in the Pacific Northwest and she grew up in New Jersey. In 2006, when they settled in Beacon, "it was pretty rough," she says. "But you could feel a change in the air." Justin King's first love is fine furniture, and he makes tables and credenzas with artistic and technical flair. The studio also devises custom installations in collaboration with architects, homeowners, contractors and interior designers. For the Woodshop Beacon class, students began by "playing around with planing," according to the curriculum. They progressed to joinery and working with machines, taking advantage of hands-on shop time on Saturday mornings. Building the box requires choosing the type of wood and assembling, sanding and completing the project. "Even if a finished piece is functional, it is art because no two designs are alike," says King, who worried about filling up seats and was comforted by the response. Dylan Assael, a friend, jumped at the chance to attend. "I thought, 'How great would it be to acquire this skill and level up my abilities?' " he says. Assael also took a sewing class and creates flags that mesh with the decor at boat and yacht clubs. Though woodworking presents inherent danger, he faced his fears. "Those tools can maim and injure and that scares the shit out of me, so I'm glad to get instruction from a pro and keep my digits intact," he says. "Sifting through videos is frustrating; it's so much easier to talk to a human being and get instant feedback." Rexhill Studio is located at 211 Fishkill Ave., Suite GO1 & 4B, in Beacon.

When I sat down to chat with Jenny Foulkes, it soon became apparent (at least in my mind) that we were jewelry sisters from another mother. From the way we approach a design to our cabinets of curiosities filled with tiny sacred objects collected through the years, we seemed to have more in common than we didn't. Jenny sees her jewelry as sacred objects to be worn, loved, and passed down… and I love this sentiment. Jenny's work is elegant and at the same time earthy appealing to something deeper inside. Something perhaps forgotten or from another time. And of course her use of gold, texture, rich patina, and beautiful gemstones makes my heart beat a little faster. I really loved this conversation with Jenny. She's open about her challenges with balancing motherhood with the demands of business and show travel, the hurdles of social media and marketing, the role community has played in her success as an artist, ADHD and the creative mind, and the work of building a loyal fan base. Bio... Jenny Foulkes is a metalsmith, artist, jeweler and mother. Daughter of a painter father and psychologist mother, she grew up in the mountains edging Los Angeles, California. As a child, Jenny was always drawn to the tinier, more contained objects of art, be it man-made or natural. She spent much of her childhood scanning the world around her for rocks, insects, bird nests, skulls, etc. This attention to detail eventually led her to jewelry making. Spending many years creating and selling beaded jewelry, Jenny yearned to learn more. In her mid-20's she moved from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon to attend Oregon College of Art and Craft and in 2011 graduated with a BFA in Metal Arts. Jenny has spent the years since finding her voice as an artist and building an inventory, all the while being a full-time mother. She sells her work at fine art and craft shows and online. Jenny is driven to make work that is unusual and elegant. By merging darkened silver with gold she creates color and dimension. Each piece of jewelry is thoughtfully handmade and one of a kind. Combining unexpected elements such as faceted precious gemstones with organically textured darkened silver, she is able to create a feeling that is both fine and precious, yet earthy and warm. Jenny hopes that the focus and love she puts into each piece of jewelry is felt by the wearer. Jenny on Instagram: @jennyfoulkesjewelry Jenny's Website: jennyfoulkesjewelry.com

The Oregon Department of Education released its first statewide plan for computer science education late last year. The chief goal is for all K-12 public schools to offer some level of computer science classes by the 2027-28 school year. The plan received some initial funding through the governor’s office, but has yet to receive long-term funding from the state Legislature. Joanna Goode is the Sommerville Knight Professor in the University of Oregon College of Education. She helped create Exploring Computer Science, a curriculum and professional development program used in schools across the country. She joins us to talk about the work computer science teachers are already doing in Oregon and what it would take to make the state’s plan a reality.
Catherine Chandler is a jewelry artist I've known from my EtsyMetal Team days. Even back then, Catherine was a ray of light in our rather tight knit group and she was always eager to support ohers. She is still that light within our Instagram jewelry community… and I'm sure if Catherine follows you, she has cheered you on from the sidelines many times. Sitting down with Catherine felt like re-connecting with an old friend, but this is really the first time we've had a true one on one conversation. We talked about a number of things from her recent trip back to Australia where she continues to find inspiration and transitioning to full time as a jewelry artist, to the moments when our chosen craft can feel more like a job and how this is when we need to remember our why. But one of the things I loved most about my conversation that you'll hear today, was when Catherine shared the story behind one of her most meaningful projects. I won't give it away, but it demonstrates the heart felt relationships we can build with other makers and the beauty that can come when we are open to collaboration and honoring another artist's work. I really hope with the conversations on Slowmade feel like you are sitting there with us, drinking your coffee or tea, and enjoying time with some old (and maybe some new) friends. About Catherine... Catherine Chandler is a jeweler and metalsmith from Oregon. Having grown up in the forests of SW Portland and the broad hills of the Columbia River Gorge, Catherine brings an intense love of the Pacific Northwest to her work. With an affinity for clean lines and a great attention to detail, she creates modern and unique jewelry for the adventurous at heart. Sterling silver, gold, and unique stones are highlights in her one-of-a-kind and limited edition creations. Her work shows a fondness for abstraction and subtle details—influences from her time studying abroad in Australia. She has participated in numerous group shows, including exhibitions in the USA and Australia. Catherine graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the University of South Australia, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Oregon College of Art and Craft. When not traversing the trails around the area with her dog, Catherine can be found enjoying the outdoors with her husband or spending quality time with friends and family.

Known for her traveling pop-up sale Earrings Galore, Heidi is passionate about introducing collectors to art jewelry and pushing artists to the next level—and she's willing to take risks to do it. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the inspiration behind Earrings Galore; how she balances managing Heidi Lowe Gallery with making her own jewelry; and what she looks for when choosing new artists. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com. My guest today is Heidi Lowe, founder of Heidi Lowe Gallery. If you ever thought you needed a guide to show you the ropes, either for making a piece of jewelry or helping with your own jewelry business, you've come to the right place with Heidi Lowe and her gallery. Welcome back. You're known for your rings and your wedding bands. Can you read a couple when they come in? Can you tell what they're looking for? Heidi: We do it a few different ways. We have a wedding ring class where they can come and make their own wedding rings. That's just bands. It's called Lovely Rings by Hand. These are couples from all over. It's usually the East Coast, but sometimes they come from farther. It's just me and the couple, and they come into the studio and physically make their rings out of white gold, yellow gold, rose gold. Then they leave with their rings. That is such a special day. It's lovely. It's so much fun, and they're ecstatic when they leave. We also do a lot of commissions. I'll meet with somebody, and it's like a poem. I think of it as poetry. I ask for three words about the meaning of the ring or the person they're making it for or the next chapter, whatever it is they're symbolizing. I ask for three words about that, and then I ask for three words about their style, the person who's either getting it or wearing it themselves. Are you more organic? Are you more straight-lined? Are you delicate? Do you like bold, whatever that is? Then I ask for three words about what they know about the piece, whether this is, “I want a ring, and I want it to have the three sapphires from my mom's favorite piece of jewelry,” or “I want it to be a piece that symbolizes the journey I went through getting cancer, and we're making it out of the scientific part of that.” Whatever it is, I'm trying to get to know them in an efficient manner that brings us closer together. I feel like that little poem brings me there right away. Usually, the first drawing is what we go with. Sharon: Do they bring you a stone, or several stones, if they want a stone? Heidi: It totally depends. If they have a stone and they know they want to use that, they can bring that. It could be a chip stone they saw their mom wear their whole life and they want to use it. It could be a fancy diamond their grandmother had, or it could be something they purchased. Or they come to us and say, “I know I want a blue stone, but I don't know exactly what I want. I want you to find it.” Then I go on a little hunt, which can take a week; it could take a month. It just depends, because we want to find the right thing. I have my resources and I go to them, and sometimes they go to their resources. It's all about meeting the customer where they are and bringing meaning to the piece they're looking for, so every time they see this piece, they think, “Oh, my mom,” or “Oh, I have this new chapter of my life.” A lot of times they have raw material from some event or something that happened, and we get to transform that into something they're looking for. Sharon: When did you know you wanted to have a gallery? How did you decide you wanted to be a jeweler? Heidi: I knew I wanted to have a gallery when I was at SUNY New Paltz studying with Myra and Jamie Bennett. I noticed there were very few galleries and very few places to interact with art jewelry, and I have always been a businessperson. When I was 13, I had my own jewelry business. I made earrings. My mom had a kid's store. When we were there, I would go the bead store and make beads and then I'd grab her. She had screens which I stole from her house, and then I put ribbon around them and made them earrings. Then I would put the name, Cosmic Creations, and a little bio, and then I would sell them to stores in town. I thought, “This is winning in life. I am rich. I just sold 10 pairs of earrings.” That was the start of it. Then in high school, I made my first ring because my art teacher in school, Mr. Gardowski, let me make jewelry. He had all the tools. In my senior year, after begging him for many years, he sent me in the back with a big piece of silverware and was like, “Go hammer that.” I was making a ring, like the same ring class I teach now, and he thought he could wear me out. He was like, “You go hammer,” and I was like, “I am not going to get sick of this.” I hammered for four days straight, and I made my first ring. I never left the art studio for the rest of the year. I probably made 50 rings that year. Then, when I was going to Maine College of Art and I studied with Tim McCreight and Alan Perry, I knew where I was going. I didn't have any questions. I love printmaking, and I mix that with my jewelry sometimes. They were across from each other in the hall, and I was going to be in those two spaces if you wanted to find me. I feel so lucky to have found what I love to do so early, and to have it be so expansive that you can always learn more things to do with it. You are never bored in jewelry because there are so many things, so many techniques, so many ideas. It's just one of things that has kept me interested for many years now. Sharon: Did you mix this with one or two business classes? Did you just know how to do that? Heidi: I think I just had a desire to do it. With my other business when I was 13, I'd walk down the street and ask all the business owners if they wanted lunch. I would go get them lunch, and then I'd come back and they'd give me a dollar or 50 cents or whatever. I was like, “I didn't expect that, but that was amazing.” It's a problem, kind of, because you have to be careful. All of a sudden, you have four businesses. I just have four that exist under the same roof. Sharon: Maine College of Art. I've seen ads in magazines, but is it known for its jewelry making? Heidi: Oh, yeah. Tim McCreight pretty much wrote the textbook for jewelry making class. When you go, you don't know what you have until you realize what you have. I went to the first Seattle SNAG conference with Tim McCreight. I got there, and everybody was shaking his hand. I was like, “Why are people so interested? Doesn't everybody write their textbook?” You don't know what you don't know. I didn't realize he wrote the textbook for the entire country, so I went there and was like, “Oh, I guess he's a big deal.” He was a big deal to me, but I didn't know he was a big deal to everybody. Sharon Portelance is there. She is an amazing teacher. They have great continuing ed, and they have great BFA and MFA programs. It's in such a beautiful part of the country. The building overlooks the harbor. It was a dream, and it was a perfect step for me to go from a small town to a small city. I applied to Boston, but that might not have been the best fit for me. Maine College of Art was a great step in the right direction. It felt good. Sharon: I can't see you in Boston. That would be limiting. How do you decide what's going to be in your gallery when they're not your pieces? How do you decide? What do you look for? Heidi: It's funny; before I moved the first time, when I was in Rehoboth, I was doing a lot more solo shows, one-person shows. We're getting ready to start our exhibition series, which I'm planning on opening for next June. I'm giving myself a little space. I'm going to have a show in September so I can welcome our local community. Then I'm going to have Earrings Galore in November, which will go to New York City Jewelry Week and then come to us. For the following spring, I'm going to start our exhibitions again. I'm really interested in group shows right now. I'm interested in this conversation between work and how we can help people understand art jewelry through a bigger grouping. I feel like that's exciting. We'll probably have a solo show every year, but we're going to have a few group shows that are talking about a theme or a formal expression. Whatever it is, we're going to cultivate some group shows that are going to be more of a conversation and are going to get the people coming in to have a conversation. I'm excited about that, I'm excited about the display, and I'm excited about the new artists. We're starting that conversation now. Sharon: It's a lot on your plate at one time. Heidi: Yes, I gave myself a year. I'm like, “Oh, I'm going to wait until next year to start that.” I didn't cry and go crazy. Sharon: You must have pictures come in over the transom a lot and have people saying, “Can I be in your gallery?” What do you look for? Have you ever chosen any of those, or do you only stick with people that you know, that you've taught, that you've seen their work? Heidi: We are definitely always looking for new work. We want people. I would love the gallery to be more of a conversation and more of a forum for the artist. When people have ideas, I want them to bring me their ideas and say, “Hey, can I do this thing?” We're having Lyndsay Rice, who is an amazing curator. She is going to curate a show for next year. She'll bring her ideas and her expertise and her artist database in her head into the gallery. We like artists to bring in a group that makes sense to them because that's what they're interested in. It doesn't happen as much as I would like it to. I think people feel like there's this space between the gallery and the artist, but I am really into punching through that space and allowing the artist to have a little more say and be excited about something. I would welcome people to come with ideas and their own work. We want it to be beneficial for everyone. Sometimes that's beneficial in that you get to show your work and it does its thing. Sometimes it's a successful show that sells a lot of work, but I don't make that the main focus of why we're showing work. That's not my main focus. If it's great work and it needs to be shown, then it needs to be shown. If it's sold, we're excited, but if it's shown and it got that artist to the next place, then that's a worthwhile endeavor. Sharon: When you say it has to be shown, is it because you've seen something in the work or in the pictures that's different? What would that be? Heidi: Yeah, it has energy that's something new. It has energy that's talking about something. They've got a way with what they're making. They are filled with something we haven't seen. If that's the case, then I want that work to be out there, and it deserves to be out there. So, yes, send me images. If you want to write a proposal for a show, and you've got five people you think should be in that show—sometimes we'll use a curator if it's actual curation. It's one of those things where we're open to a lot of things. We are in Delaware, so people have to come here to see the work, or they'll see it online. Sometimes things travel, but not everything travels. Sharon: How did you make it through Covid? You said you had one gallery that you moved out of, but how did you make it through Covid with everything going on? Heidi: Covid was an amazing experience for us. We were on a dead-end street. It was very much studio based. I had one employee at the time. She and I just decided we were going to be in this together, so we were going to work every day. I think we went from 10 to four, four or five days a week. We enjoyed our lives, but it was a very focused time where I got to do fewer things and really focus on a few things. We made a lot of work and sold a piece a day over Instagram. Almost every day during the lockdown, we sold one piece. We had people calling us from all over the country like, “We want you to be there when we get back. We want to pay your rent.” I was like, “Are you kidding me? This is the kindest thing I've ever heard.” It was one of those very heartwarming moments in my world. I realized how important every single relationship I had over 15 years had been. All of those times where I had probably spent too much time talking to that customer paid off tenfold. That was probably the opposite of what a lot of people were feeling, but I felt very invigorated and was really happy with that movement and that process of, “Well, this is what I'm going to get out of this. I'm going to move through this in a way that feels right for me.” Again, it's back to that little bit of financial conservativeness. I hadn't overextended myself, so I was not really stressed. I was not intensely financially upset about the three months I knew I wouldn't be able to open. Delaware did a good job being moderate about how they did things. When we could open, we were open, and we just followed some guidelines. In three months, things were back to almost normal for us. We were teaching classes. Sharon: That's a pretty short time. That's good. Did you know when you graduated that you wanted to have a gallery and make all that stuff, or was that something you came to? Heidi: I knew when I was at SUNY New Paltz that I wanted to have a gallery. I was in grad school, and I wanted to expand the public's interaction with art jewelry, which I feel is really important and probably one of the most contemporary forms of art out there today. I feel like art jewelers are so special and smart and thoughtful and detail oriented. They deserve to be highlighted, and I felt like there weren't enough places for them to do that. It was one of those things that was very important to me, to make one more space for that interaction. Sharon: When you say art jewelry, do you mean gold and platinum or wood and whatever? Heidi: All those things. I consider it art jewelry when anybody is bringing an idea to a piece of work and using the medium of jewelry to express it. I don't care if you're using gold and doing it in a thoughtful way or if you're using paper or silver or wood. Whatever that is, my main concern is that you're investigating something. Whether that be formal aspects of a circle—O.K., that's an interesting investigation—or the ring through history or how plastic bonds or how to mix patterns. I don't know. All of these things are interesting, but I want to know what your investigation is. As long as there's an investigation and the end result is something innovative and cool, I'm down. Sharon: When people submit their work, do they have this philosophy behind them? Heidi: For sure. They are definitely investigating an idea. 99% of the artists are so deep in an investigation, and most people don't even know it. That's how they get to where the piece is, but most people don't know how. Jewelers by nature are investigating. They're also anal retentive and detail oriented. They are going deep, the ones I'm friends with and the ones in my gallery. They're going deep into something. I am always in awe of how smart and thoughtful and amazing these jewelers are. They have gone beyond what people think. Sharon: Wow! As you're talking, I'm thinking about all the reasons I'm not a jeweler, especially when you said detail oriented. Do you care what age they are, if they're 60? Heidi: No. We have second-career artists. We have artists who started when they were really young. We have artists who are just out of school. We show a wide variety as long as it's engaging and there's thought behind it. Those are my two criteria. I don't even know who would enter into this world without those two things. Sharon: What do you consider art jewelry? You're saying art jewelry is made by artists. If a piece is made by an artist, but it's not what I would consider art jewelry; it's just a one-off, let's say, is that art jewelry? Do you have a definition for art jewelry? Heidi: I think there are varying degrees of art jewelry. There are artists making work, and some of them are investigating an idea or a medium. Then some are taking it to that next level, which is showing in museums and going to that next level of research and development and thought. There's a continuum, but they may come from there and end up here in their lifespan. When I think of Amy Tavern, she makes the most amazing production jewelry, but she also makes the most amazing art jewelry, and then she makes work that wouldn't be considered jewelry. There's this continuum. I also choose the work out of what they're making. I don't want the things that are super-production-y and not as thoughtful and not as one of a kind. I would prefer to have more work that is—maybe it's in their production line, but it's one of a kind. I feel like there's a continuum and it's broad. I really want to usher people into art jewelry, so I might need to start them there to get them here, to get them through the bridge. Sharon: Do you have this written somewhere? Do the people who submit know what they're doing, that they shouldn't present a ladder, that they should present the earring or the necklace? Heidi: I think people know what we do. In this new space, I have Sarah Holden, who shows her art jewelry in the gallery, but now we have a space for the first time ever. That's this wall. This week—it just got to the gallery—she's going to put this collar she made that goes on the wall. It's actually totally a combo of art and jewelry. It's this life-size Elizabethan collar made of steel and pearls, and that's going to go on the wall. I was like, “Oh my gosh! Look at this piece!” but we never had space for that before. This is a new endeavor, and we'll see how that goes. I'm limiting it in a way, but I'm not limiting it in another way. I think people understand when they send their work to us. Maybe they're trying something one year and that may not get in. They usually know, and then they go further and get it because they've expanded what they're doing into a more interesting realm. They were starting here, but I'm open to things that other galleries wouldn't be open to because I'm trying to usher people in. Sharon: Can you give me an example of what you might be interested in that another gallery would pass on? Heidi: I don't know exactly what that would be except for Earrings Galore. Earrings are kind of the evil stepchild of art jewelry. I just embrace earrings. I was like, “Here we go. Let's do this because this is something people can change every day.” People love earrings. They can be big. They can be small. They can be asymmetrical. They may pass on earrings, and I said, “Let's highlight the earrings.” That's a prime example of where we're not going to follow the rules of a gallery. We're going to expand our idea of what a gallery can be. Also, those things are all different now than they used to be. There used to be hard rules about these things. Now we can play with what we're doing and figure out new ways of doing it and new ways of drawing in new collectors who may be interested in this whole new realm that they don't even know exists, because none of us knew this existed. I started with making rings. I thought that was where jewelry began and where jewelry ended. Now, thank God I was given the standards I was given by Maine College of Art and Oregon College of Art and Craft and SUNY New Paltz because they allowed me to expand my way of thinking. I really am thankful for that broadened expanse of what jewelry can be, but I also understand the public is not starting there. They are starting at a whole different place, and I want to meet them where they are and move them in. Sharon: Is that what a collector is to you, that they are just starting out and then gathering stuff? Heidi: I have one collector that comes from D.C. every summer and buys four or five pieces. She buys things from the Smithsonian and Jewelers' Werk in D.C. She's got a jewelry collection to die for. Then I have people who have more traditional work. Maybe they started with my work because they love me, but hopefully they get sick of me and then move on to other artists. I see myself as a thread that brings them along to the more controversial, bigger, more risky work, what we consider art jewelry. Sharon: Is everything one of a kind in the gallery? Heidi: 90% of it is. Some artists will make their work multiple times, but it's in a similar vein. But most of it is one of a kind. Sharon: If it's one of a kind, is that with two extra made behind it so you can ship off the second in case the first one sells? Or is it that the first one sells and that's it? Heidi: That's it. You've got to buy it while it's hot. We're always changing. People come back for things and they won't be there. This is the work we have, and we have an expanse. You can buy something here or you can buy something here. You can enter at any point. I think that's just who I am. I want to engage the public in different ways, so we're welcoming; we're not, “Well, this is a gallery and you're not going here.” We're like, “Come in. Let's talk about it and let's get excited.” People will laugh and cry and ask questions. They know they have somebody who will help them or just talk about it. Sharon: Heidi, thank you very much. When will you open your outpost on the West Coast? That's what I want to know. We're a wasteland out here. Thank you very much for telling us about it. Are you near the Rhode Island mansions? You're in Delaware, but I don't know the geography at all. Heidi: Delaware is close to a lot, like three hours from D.C. and New York and Baltimore. That's great because we have a huge hub that comes here for the summer. Boston and Rhode Island are like seven, eight hours; Maine is 10. We can go for a long way and get a lot of art in this short distance. In the space of California, we can get a lot in there. Jewelers' Werk is in D.C., and Ellen Riven has an amazing gallery. We can head up to things like the contemporary jewelry galleries in Boston. I try to always work jewelry into my vacations. Sharon: Thank you very much. On my next vacation, I hope it encompasses your gallery. I want to see this big collar you have on the wall. It sounds really interesting. Thank you very much for being with us. I really appreciate it. Heidi: Thank you so much for having me. I so appreciate it also. It's so much fun. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out. Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.
“I remember someone asked ‘why do you only draw white people?' It really put a mirror to me and I was like, ‘why is that?' I think it's the culture I grew up around — I didn't have that opportunity to see myself.” Jonathan Hill is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, and educator living in Portland, OR. Jonathan is the creator of numerous graphic novels - including Americus, Odessa, and his latest - Tales of a Seventh-Grade Lizard Boy. And your guess of which of this is about sci-fi dystopia is probably wrong - but all of his works hit on some pretty relevant themes of family and belonging. Jonathan's work does that thing that great fiction does - wrapping an important theme in a seemingly fantastic narrative. While there is a Vietnamese American family as part of the story, let's just say the main characters are also not from around here. In our chat we really got to understand the why behind so many of Jonathan's story telling choices. We'd definitely recommend Tales of a Seventh-Grade Lizard Boy for any of us who have ever just wanted to belong - or for folks who need a better understanding of what it's like to not belong. Beyond being a graphic novelist, Jonathan's an accomplished cartoonist with clients like Microsoft, the Portland Trailblazers, the Vietnam Literature Project, the Inlander, Fantagraphics Books, Dark Horse Comics, Tor.com, The Believer Magazine, Literary Arts, and Powell's City of Books. AND he's been the staff illustrator to The Asian Reporter since 2007. Jonathan also teaches comics and visual narrative — having taught at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Oregon College of Art was Writer in Residence through Literary Arts' Writers in the Schools program — and he currently serves on the Board of Directors of Literary Arts and chairs the Youth Programs Advisory Council. It goes without saying, Jonathan's one of those empathetic creators whose work you'll want to keep an eye on.

Following Hurricane Ian, John Anderson joined me in St. Petersburg, Florida for an extended visit. We sat down one evening to (finally) record one the many longform conversations we've had the benefit of enjoying recently. Together, John and I explore the intersection of Chinese Medicine, Daoist philosophy, temporal arts, and animist attitudes towards not only weathering Anthropocene storms, but living and realizing the innate and creative wholeness that is our human spirit. ABOUT JOHN: John is a fellow Revelore Press author (see The Way of the Living Ghost, and Opening the Vermillion Spirit). John Anderson is a practitioner and teacher of several styles of Asian medicine having received his Master's degree in Oriental Medicine at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine (FCIM) and his Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). Dr. Anderson's formal training extends to the use of herbal medicine from the perspective of Chinese medicine, both classical (ShangHan method) and contemporary (through the Ding/Shen/Hammer lineage). In addition to his formal education in Chinese Medicine, he has had training in Lakota practices and in Eastern esoteric herbal medicine and Chinese folk medicines. As part of his broader learning process, he has worked with plants, stones, and other natural ingredients for the better part of twenty years, beginning with many aspects of contemporary European paganism. This interest evolved and grew to encompass Eastern philosophies and practices. His ongoing research interests include: Gu syndromes, virtue medicine in tradition of Wang Fengyi, Daoist and Buddhist exorcistic practices, and Disability Studies at large. His work on Gu has appeared in Verdant Gnosis, volume 4. Opening the Vermillion Spirit is the second of three books, following on his 2019 Way of the Living Ghost.

It's one thing to be attacked by foreign bodies, it's worse to be attacked by those which ought to protect you.Imagine, the white blood cells that are supposed to be protecting you are suddenly acting against you as they grow abnormally and cause tumors throughout your body.It doesn't feel all that different when the doctor comes in ready to blast you with radiation and all sorts of treatments that feel more like punishment than actual healing.Brandon LaGreca is no stranger to this as he was assaulted by his own lymphocytes after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.Brandon is an author, speaker, and holistic medical practitioner. He is a 2005 graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Wisconsin, and nationally certified in the practice of Oriental Medicine.Despite being a medical practitioner, Brandon was not immune from getting overwhelmed by not only the cancer itself, but also the many different paths that can be taken.Brandon had 2 major paths to decide on – conventional therapy which meant (in his case) a high-dose induction chemo, or take an integrative path.Because of the many consequences that he knew would come from conventional therapy, Brandon chose to go with an integrative path.Navigating so many options is often the hardest part of getting treated. Unable to choose the best path for yourself, it's often the case that you succumb to treatment which can do more harm because of a major disconnect.And so, Brandon outlines a simple but effective means of navigating the one too many options in cancer care.At the end of the day, Brandon falls back to this philosophy…Mindset of being a cancer patient: what is it that gets you the best bang for your buck, what are you most drawn to, and what is something you can stick to – what makes the most sense for your diagnosis!What is the best practice for navigating treatment options? What are the elements of mindset that work best for cancer treatment? What does it truly mean to individualize/personalize your cancer treatment?Check this out to learn more about Brandon LaGreca and his Holistic Practice:Website: brandonlagreca.comTune in to learn more about navigating cancer treatment options and choosing a perfect fit treatment plan for you!Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

In this episode of the Third Opinion MD podcast, I'm honored to be interviewing a renowned qigong master, Master Liu He. Master Liu is a part of the Ling Gui lineage of qigong, a school with teachings that have been passed down for 2,000 years. I have worked with Master Liu since 2015, and have found that her presence and teachings guide me and ground me in profound ways. Master Liu began her training at the age of 4 under the guidance of her grandfather, a highly respected qigong master and Chinese medical doctor who treated the last Emperor of China. By age 14, Master Liu attained the level of qigong master and was given permission by her grandfather to teach others; a privilege traditionally reserved only for men. Her life has been dedicated to sharing with others all that has been given to her. She teaches medical qigong and healing techniques extensively throughout China, Europe, and the United States, and is currently on the faculty of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. In this episode, Master Liu and I discuss: The definition of Qigong (Qi is translated loosely as “energy” or “life force”, and Gong as “practice” or “cultivation”) The role Qigong plays in your energy and health Some of the differences between Eastern and Western Medicine How integrating Eastern and Western practices in medicine can help us better develop our own third opinion in medicine Cultivating good health Our minds as fourth-dimensional space, and how this is different from the standard Western thinking The roots of Qigong, and its relationship to Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, Yin Yang theory, and Five Element theory Approaching Qigong from a beginner's mindset Learning to trust our senses and bodies Resources: Master Liu's Website:https://linggui.org/ ( https://linggui.org/) Master Liu on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterliuhe/ (https://www.instagram.com/masterliuhe/) https://thirdopinionmd.org/introduction-to-qigong-master-liu-he (Read a transcript, and the full show notes for this episode on my website.)

After spending over 20 years in the Western medical field, working as a nursing and medical assistant specializing in cardiology and pulmonology, Sara Irena still wasn't delighted with what Western medicine offered. She began considering naturopathic medicine when a spider bit her. Unexpectedly, almost two years after the bite, her condition didn't get any better; she would drain the wound twice a day, she suffered from excruciating back pain and limping. The spider put her life on hold; when she got bit, Sara was getting ready for a pre-med program for medical anthropology. A friend casually suggested trying acupuncture, which she did. After the first session, the pain was gone, and she stopped limping. After the tenth session, she was even better than before the bite. Acupuncture changed her life, and for the last ten years, she has been studying Chinese medicine consistently, getting a Masters' degree and a Doctorate from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. Today, I'm honored of welcoming our first guest Sara Irena to the show. She is a Whole Life Coach, an experienced nurse, an expert in Chinese Medicine, a Stress Release Specialist, and a dear friend. We had a fantastic conversation about her transition from Western to Chinese medicine, her experiences as an unpaid caregiver, and the need for an integrative approach from Western and Eastern medicine to prevent and treat certain affections. Sara kindly shared three simple yet effective tips for stress release, and she gifted us with a relaxing meditation session.

He has also taught at the Oregon College of Art & Craft, and given workshops at Anderson Ranch, Haystack, Penland and Peters Valley.

Mr. Brandon LaGreca, LAc, MAcOM, a licensed acupuncturist, author, speaker, and holistic medical practitioner discusses the importance of digital detox for physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation. Brandon shares about his own personal experience with cancer. Back in 2015, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He achieved full remission eight months later by following an integrative medicine protocol that included immunotherapy without the use of chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. As a result, Brandon created his Empowered Patient Blog to share his experience growing stronger through and beyond cancer. There is an increasing amount of patients he has seen over the last year with elevated stress levels. This stress is overwhelmingly the result of fear and the overuse of digital devices and social media. He offers some simple solutions and ways to measure the overuse of electronics. He is a 2005 graduate of the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Wisconsin, and nationally certified in the practice of Oriental medicine.

She discusses the power of photography and the importance of connecting with her subjects. Christina also shares how she uses photography as a medium to highlight women's triumphs. Listen to the full episode to learn more about photography's ability to inspire and empower.

Hear Christina's daily non-negotiables and advice for struggling women.

Subscribe to my mailing list to get the FREE workbook! Episode Highlights Christina's Journey in Photography Christina moved to Portland in 2002, where she lived right across from the Oregon College of Art & Craft. She has wanted to learn photography since high school. Christina later learned about black-and-white photography, printing, and developing film. It sparked something in her, and she started doing street photography. She believes that street photography is about finding a moment in everyday life that tells a story. Transitioning to Portrait Photography and Becoming an Entrepreneur Christina never thought that she would start a business in photography. But her love for the process and the craft convinced her to do so. She transitioned to portraiture because she's fascinated with having a connection or a story that centers on a person. She built her portrait business in 2019. Contrary to other people's opinions, Portland is a great place to photograph. Listen to the full episode to know where Christina's favorite places to shoot are! Christina's Love for Portrait Photography What she loves about taking portraits is seeing the person behind the lens get comfortable. She sees the person letting go, trusting her, and forming a connection with her. It's an honor for Christina to see people allow themselves to be vulnerable with her. Christina doesn't like being too far away from the person she's photographing. The focal length she uses allows her to be close enough to feel connected. Back then, portrait photography sounded very stiff. Nowadays, it has become more flexible and liberating. Favorite and Least-Liked Things in Photography For Christina, finding a subject matter easy or difficult lies more on where her mind is. It depends on where her mind is at, if she's grounded or distracted. Christina has to get connected with the environment or the person in front of her. She sees newborn and pet photography as challenging because she hasn't done a lot of them. Overall, Christina feels that there isn't anything she doesn't love about photography. Due to technological advancements, there are more ways to show creativity in photography. It has since become a booming business. Empowering Women through Photography Christina's current project is photographing women in business to empower them and others. She found herself connecting with many inspiring women entrepreneurs that later became her friends and acquaintances. Listening to their stories and realizing how much they had gone through to succeed inspired Christina. She hopes that photographing them inspires others too. Especially during the pandemic, Christina wants others to know more about these women and their businesses. Learn more about Christina's project on her Instagram account. Balancing and Prioritizing Responsibilities as a Mother and Entrepreneur Christina is a mother of 13-year-old twin boys. Balancing responsibilities requires prioritizing tasks. Christina's biggest priority is her children. She realized that she is a better mother when she's grounded, healthier, and passionate about her work. Christina makes sure she's connected with her kids by supporting and communicating with them. You can be a mother and work at the same time as long as you're mindful of your children's needs. Create that intentional space to have a conversation with them. Middle Age Realizations Christina learned that using the word ‘crisis' to describe where she is now can harm her mindset. Instead, she looks at it as a revelation, awakening, or metamorphosis. Being middle-aged has been both a painful and positive experience for Christina. She realizes the importance of taking care of herself instead of focusing too much on others. Midlife for Christina has been about getting back in touch with her inner child and appreciating the joys in life more. Christina's Daily Non-Negotiables and Advice for Struggling Women Her non-negotiables are “I will not betray myself” and “I will not ignore my own needs as they arise.” She has learned to pay more attention to the voice inside of her that tells her what she needs. True change is painful, but sometimes pain and suffering can bring you to a better place. Christina urges women who are suffering to reflect on whether they are truly trapped, or they've only created that illusion. 5 Powerful Quotes “What I love about it is that during the process of photographing somebody, there is sort of a shift that happens where there's a moment where you realize you look in the lens and you see that the person in the lens is beginning to let go.” “And just keep Portland aware that these businesses are out there, that these wonderful women are still passionate, still strong, still doing their thing… So I like to be able to tell their stories.” “What I'm realizing more and more is that the stronger I am, and the more grounded I am, the healthier I am — and this is all related to my business - because it's my passion, then the better mother that I can be.” “It's really for me more about getting back in touch with my inner child - that's my midlife crisis, or my midlife revelation, or my midlife awakening - has been getting back in touch with who I was then, who I truly still am now. And am I allowing my true self to shine, and to live, and to jump, and run, and play?” “Suffering is sometimes a way to get to the other side and to get into a better place. And I think true change is painful sometimes.” About Christina Christina Tselnik started as a street photographer. In 2019, she created Christina Tselnik Portraits, which specializes in contemporary portrait photography. She is the mother of twin boys. Check out Christina's work on her website.

Have you ever thought about facial acupuncture? Did you know it can help with premature wrinkles, existing wrinkles, and even scarring? You may just be a few sticks away (pun intended) from improved skin, all in a natural, organic way. This is a very special episode, as I started my Esthetics career with Dr. Marina, as her lead Esthetician. I am to this day so grateful for everything I learned from working in her practice, both in the Esthetics industry but also in business. She is an incredible businesswoman as well as a practitioner. It is rare that you can call one of your former leaders one of your best friends. That is a testament to the type of person she is: caring, generous, I think she's brilliant and an overall amazing friend. A little bit about Dr. Marina Ponton -she has been a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine in private practice since 1998. Her practice focuses on helping others achieve and maintain their optimal health through acupuncture, functional medicine, herbs, supplements, and nutrition. Dr. Marina's belief in healing the body through natural methods has led her to practice and lecture in the United States, Sweden, and Holland. She has studied at the American University of Paris, FAMU University in Prague, University of Miami, Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine, and Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. Dr. Marina has a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with a specialization in women's health and longevity medicine. Dr. Marina is an exceptionally talented natural health practitioner and well-recognized lecturer who is passionate about educating clients on the importance of incorporating natural health modalities into their everyday life. Some of her specialties include pain management, women's health, and fertility, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue (ME), environmental diseases, and mental and emotional disorders. She is bilingual in English and Spanish. So let's get started on today's episode, dedicated to Facial Acupuncture, and learn from Dr. Marina how this procedure can do wonders for your skin. Show Highlights: What is the history of Facial acupuncture and when did it become popular? What exactly is facial acupuncture doing? What are the benefits? What are the contraindications (who can NOT get facial acupuncture:) How many needles are going into the face? So let's talk about the needles-how big are they? How is it different from micro-needling? Does it hurt? What happens if you have more? How long does it stay in our system? How long does the treatment last? How often should you get treatments to get results? How does it actually work? What are the benefits? Can you get this done along with facials? Peels? Hydra facials? Skin pen? Is there anything you should not use before getting this treatment? For example, stop using retinoids a week prior? What is the after skin routine after the treatment? Are you able to go back to work or is it better if you receive the treatment in the evening? Natasha from our Small Biz and Beauty Group on Facebook asks: Are there other things that the acupuncture does like, maybe the correlation of meridian lines and specific acupuncture points helping with giving that natural facelift?

Episode nine of the Ground Shots Podcast. A conversation with artist and designer Christiana Hedlund on her art and craft practice, the feeling of color, place informed design, her Signal Fire experience, and more. We talk about: Christiana's study of painting and craft in the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, France and Mexico. Colors and how they affect people differently and often reflect something about the land around us or perhaps our current social and political climate. Christiana's experiences as a two time alumni of Signal Fire's Wide Open Studios summer immersion trips in the wilds of the West. The importance of craft and making things we use in our everyday life. Making and curating spaces that feel good to be in and the importance of the intersection of art and shelter.

Interview with Lee Hullender Rubin, DAOM, LAc, FABORM Lee is clearly a decorated mover and shaker (see CV below). She is playing such a huge role in furthering the understanding of how Chinese medicine as a whole (which includes but is not limited to acupuncture) can help improve IVF success rates. Her research is pioneering and is the first to attempt to capture the true holistic essence and power of Chinese medicine, so that healthcare providers and women struggling to get pregnant can more deeply trust and embrace this wonderful resource. If you haven't done so already, it's time to find yourself a Chinese medicine doctor with experience in reproductive health. ~ Spence Email drlhrubin@me.com Website http://www.pdxacustudio.com Professional Profile Began practice in Washington state in 2002, and currently has an active license in Oregon since 2011.

East Asian & Functional Medicine ConnectionsDr. Laura D Varga, DAOM. Chapel Hill, NC. She lived on both the East and West Coasts. She worked in research at UPENN and UCSD, holds a top US degree in East Asian Medicine [EAM], DAOM [Doctorate Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine] from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. She's worked with patients since 2010. After five years practicing on my own in East Asian and then adding functional medicine, she is best at seeing the big picture - combining the holistic view of East Asian Medicine with my research background. "I love and am in awe of nature - hiking with my dogs, sailing, swimming in the ocean. I cannot believe it took me five years to see the big picture. I have learned a lot from your guests on CBJ and wanted to give back. In East Asian Medicine mental/emotional health is inextricably linked to physical health." A Personal Note From Laura"Feeling sick and tired? I know what that is like! Throughout my life, I have had varying illnesses on the autoimmune spectrum that required me to reach beyond conventional, reductionistic medicine into the world of holistic medicine to heal. From the age of 6 to 25, I had severe allergies and asthma with debilitating bronchitis each Fall. I used pharmaceuticals to mitigate my symptoms and despite seeing several allergists, eating well and exercising I did not heal. Fortunately, I was later able to recover with the help of an East Asian Medicine physician. I have had other conditions caused by excess inflammation. I know what it is like to have chronic and acute pain and wake up day after day feeling exhausted and achy - sort of like you have mild flu. Before earning my clinical doctorate at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, I felt adrift and alone in my healthcare. My different practitioners didn't communicate with each other and some told me that the way the other practitioner was diagnosing and treating me was useless, detrimental or wrong. I was scared because I didn't know what to do. Tests would come back normal. I was lost." The Outdated Bifurcation of Medical Practice - Operational Connections Matter"Everything I read on supplements seemed confusing and overwhelming (this was despite graduating with honors from an Ivy League school - the University of Pennsylvania and working for years in clinical research!). I tried several different diets, with variable, unpredictable outcomes. Then finally, after studying East Asian Medicine and later Functional Medicine, ah-hah, now I have the combined, comprehensive tools to see how my biomedical vulnerabilities are all connected and treat them!" *Photo by Parker: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts - https://www.vmfa.museum/exhibitions/exhibitions/terracotta-army-legacy-first-emperor-china/ (The Terracotta Army Exhibition 3-18) --------------Website & East Asian Relevant Medical ReferencesWebsite down: Connection here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-d-varga-daom-0ab30843/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-d-varga-daom-0ab30843/) Rosenthal, E, 2017, http://geni.us/rosenthal (An American Sickness,) Penguin Press, New York, Global Amazon Link Judy Hoy, Nancy Swanson, and http://corebrainjournal.com/134 (Stephanie Seneff.)

Master Tung acupuncture points are named like GPS coordinates, point name 88.25 tells us information about which limb we are looking at and how far up the limb to go to find the point. Channel theory names points with a “stress address”, point name GB31 tells us which location along the gall bladder channel.Master Tung acupuncture is such a perfect fit for a modern day acupuncture clinic, and this week Brad Whisnant shares his passion for this style of acupuncture that was passed down in one of the most famous family lineages. It's one of the most practical forms of acupuncture and is revered for its effectiveness.A lot of the points used in the Tung system are located at or very nearby to regular body points, but often used in different or novel ways than the ways classically taught. We get right into the nitty gritty of Brad's favorite and most used points, including 88.25-26, 2204 and 2205, san cha yi er san, gu ci yi er san, 88.12, 88.13 & 88.14 and 708, 709 & 710.Don't be fooled by the confusing point numberings – this is a great style of acupuncture to learn.We also chat with Brad at the end about his tips for running a successful clinic. You can find his clinic details here.Dr. Brad Whisnant is a native of Oregon, graduated from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and then later from Emperors college with his Doctorate of Acupuncture. He is an avid student of Dr. Jimmy Chang, Dr. Richard Tan and Master Tung's Acupuncture system. Brad has authored 7 books on Master Tung which have been received with great success. You find his books on Amazon and his website at pinpointclinic.com.We had a great time recording this episode, we hope you find it inspiring and informative.

When Bonnie Laing Malcolmson started as a 17-year-old student at the Museum Art School at the Portland Art Museum in 1970, there wasn't much of a Northwest art collection.Malcolmson graduated and pursued a career in arts administration. She eventually served as the director of academic affairs at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and then the president of the Oregon College of Arts and Craft, where she spearheaded a nearly $15 million dollar expansion.By the time Malcolmson returned to the Portland Art Museum in 2010, this time as the Curator of Northwest Art, a major gift from Arlene and Harold Schnitzer had transformed the two floors that used to house the Museum School into the Center for Northwest Art. And fittingly enough, artists Malcolmson had once gone to school with, or later admitted to schools, filled its collection.This week, Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson retired. But not after rehanging the Center for Northwest ARt one last time. She talked with our producer Aaron Scott about seismic changes over the course of her career.
