Rain blurred the streets outside The Fairweather House Gallery, but inside, the atmosphere crackled with energy. It was October 29th, and the art gallery was hosting its first-ever End-of-Orange Flash Sale.
For three days only, celebrate with us as anything and everything orange, including plush velvet pillows, art glass, cozy shawls, and every shade of orange you love, will be wonderfully reduced.
Fairweather’s is making space for the upcoming winter exhibitions, but more importantly, the gallery hopes the community can pause together and gently share in this bright, orange moment.
The orange short list flaunted Illumn candles, mouth-blown stemware, sensuous cashmere shawls, and bespoke textiles, plus one-of-a-kind vintage fabric pumpkins and provocative art glass earrings.
By the end of October, the gallery will be buzzing with energy, having fulfilled its purpose by clearing the way for exciting November plans and sending everyone home with a cherished piece of autumn at wonderfully special prices.

From Forest Bash: stunning, head-turning bowls—no two are ever alike, and the artist boldly signs each one.
Resident artists from the gallery often bring in consigned items, such as Bahari’s vintage pottery and porcelain pieces, which typically draw on late 20th-century designs that blend kiln-fired handmade craftsmanship with modern, organic aesthetics.
Currently, we accept pieces that balance earthy elements with minimalist modern art. Common forms include free-form vessels, ribbed or cascading-texture pieces, and art-inspired bowls or vases.
The pieces frequently feature matte or semi-matte finishes in neutral tones like white, gray, and subtle earth shades…perfect as fall season home accessories –FH&G
New artist for the gallery.
Marilyn Sanbrailo works in Geometric Abstraction with clear influences from the Bauhaus movement. It relies entirely on non-representational forms, textures, and lines to create balance and movement rather than depict a real-world subject. Marilyn created the work in pen, ink, and watercolor. Sharp, structured forms, such as triangles, intersecting linear bands, and distinct circles, dominate her compositions. A fluid black form, decorated with white dots, meanders down the left side. This organic form balances the rigid geometric lines. The piece combines smooth, translucent watercolor or ink washes with precise fine-liner ink work. Notable details include the crosshatched grid at the top and a stippled, bubbly column near the bottom right. The colors are restrained and sophisticated, featuring muted ochres, warm browns, and varied slate-gray values. A single bold, dark red circle acts as a primary focal point on the right. Parallel vertical lines slice through the composition, adding rhythm, structure, and an upward, architectural tension.
Q: How are the artists selected for gallery representation, you ask?
A: FH&G selects artists based on the strength and coherence of their portfolio, the clarity of their artistic vision, and how decisively their work aligns with the gallery’s exhibition program and collector base.
Q: How about cohesion with the other artists in the gallery, you ask?
A: Each artist selected has a distinctive perspective, a recognizable style, and a consistent body of 6 to 20 original works.
Q: How does the work fit the gallery’s conceptual direction?
A: From day one, in 2006, FH&G chose to feature artists who do not overlap another artist’s style, to fit into its existing collector network.
Q: How are artists discovered, you ask?
A: Gallery directors and curators discover talent through group exhibitions, art schools, residencies, and studio visits.
Q: Do other artists recommend fellow artists to the gallery?
A: Yes, indeed. Introductions or referrals from trusted artists, collectors, or peers carry a lot of weight.

The chocolate-brown pleated, skirted linen table cover, crowned with glass, sets a sultry fall stage and intensifies deep chocolate and smoldering earth tones. Lush gold, terracotta, and mouth-blown amber art glass elements cast a slow-burning, sunlit glow that lingers.
Antique brass and weathered wood command attention in the entry display, daring the eye to linger. The design unapologetically flaunts signature ceramics and timeworn pieces—tarnish, aged metals, and distressed wood—that pulse with raw, authentic character. Sumptuous velvet and intensely handworked textiles dominate the decorative pillows, inviting touch and challenging any notion of restraint.
Seasonal accents seduce the senses with subtle botanical touches and a daringly refined take on autumn, while copper picture frames and espresso bronze candlesticks ignite a moody, irresistible ambiance.
A live-edge coffee table by award-winning NW wood artist Stuart Dittbrenner isn’t just furniture—it’s a bold statement carved from a solid wood slab that refuses to hide the tree’s wild side, flaunting its raw, untrimmed outer contour, untamed curves, knots, growth rings, and the primal edge of its bark-line shape.
Acclaimed regional wood sculptor Mike Brown doesn’t just craft bowls and signs—he carves bold statements from native Oregon wood. Each piece exposes a striking spectrum of natural color, from blazing golden honey to deep, moody browns. Forged from Myrtlewood, a dense, unyielding hardwood that shrugs off heavy wear, these creations are built not only to function as tables, but to challenge the ordinary.
Fall art by Vicki Baker and Jo Pomeroy-Crockett
A deliberately seductive, intimate tablescape that revels in autumn’s darker side, drenched in moody, earthy hues—deep olive, cognac, chocolate brown, and inky blue. Every element flaunts authentic, time-worn materials like split, dark-stained bamboo and natural walnut and burlwood, chosen to age provocatively and tell bolder stories with every passing season.
The accessories have unapologetic character, storied vintage and mid-century one-of-a-kind pieces, combined with sensual hand-thrown pottery that captures the fall season.
Original art that fearlessly collides pattern with pattern to provoke, NW artists Vicki Baker and Jo Pomeroy-Crockett push each piece to the edge, capturing the season’s upheaval in a rush of saturated color, fractured light, and audacious symbols of change and transience.
Art by Penelope Culbertson and watercolor by Mary Lyn Gough
Penelope Culbertson’s original framed fall collage is a bold, tactile, multi-layered seduction of the senses, distilling autumn’s raw pulse into a collision of incendiary warm tones and dangerously provocative textures, while Mary Lyn Gough’s watercolor painting features a deep black background and unleashes a stark, high-contrast drama where the vibrant botanical flowers sit in sharp, irresistible relief.
And it’s also the boo season’s last call. A hand-sculpted bronze candlebra, a perfectly imperfect thrown pottery bowl signed by the artist, pressed flower coasters by Mike Mason, hand-made Halloween cards, a mouth-blown, one-of-a-kind art glass pumpkin, and a seductive textile table runner dare you to indulge in a living-in-the-moment display. In just a few weeks, the gallery will shed its spooky skin and explode into the fa-la-la season, a bold, head-spinning pivot that will take center stage for the Wine Walk on November 6th.
Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM

Sunflowers and Silver (16×20 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander.
I began the trio. The sunflowers have such an exuberant presence, and I liked contrasting their warm yellows and ochres with silver’s cooler gleam. The deep burgundy cloth and rich pomegranate colors let me move away from a traditional summery sunflower painting and toward something crisp, bright, and a bit more autumnal. –-Melissa Jander
Lilies and Plums MJFA
Lilies and Plums ( 20×16 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander
This painting is perhaps the most personal for me. The lilies were a gift from a friend’s garden, which added an extra layer of meaning. Their pale, luminous shapes paired with the darker plums and patterned cloth created a lovely balance of delicacy and richness. I wanted it to retain that feeling of something generously given and then enjoyed while it lasted. –MJ
Dahlias and Pear MJFA
Dahlias and Pear (16×20 oil on deep cradled linen) by Melissa Jander
This painting completes the group of three for the LAYERED exhibition with a darker, earthier mood. The warm dahlias, brown pear, plums, books, and old stoneware pitcher all seemed to belong together. I especially enjoyed the quiet suggestion of accumulated things and lived experience—the books, the old pottery, seasonal fruit, and flowers at their peak. –MJ
