Pacific N.W. artist working in watercolor, calligraphy, collage, and pastel media.
“Honeybees and Flowers” by JoAnn Pari-Mueller
Fine details catch my eye. I am interested in the relationship between objects – the “collector mentality.” I like the starkness of a subject against a white background, but may also intersperse geometric lines or shapes with the mostly curvilinear subjects. Often I use richly colored or detailed borders or backgrounds – influences of the many patterns and colors in my collections.” JP-M
I won “Best of Show” in the 2022 Rose Festival Art Show at OSA (Oregon Society of Artists)? That was exciting. See my piece and read what the judge said. JP-M
Juror’s note: I thought that this was a most complete and sensational piece. The combination of the story, the beautiful calligraphy of the writing, and, at its heart, an exquisitely-realized rose makes this work a genuinely excellent selection. It drew me in at first glance, and the more time I spent with it, the more I appreciated it.
After 15 years as an art museum tour guide, I began immersing myself in art classes at area art schools and colleges. I am an active member of the Oregon Society of Artists, the Watercolor Society of Oregon, and the Portland Society for Calligraphy and have participated in numerous exhibits throughout the state.” JP-M

“Unexpected Celebration” by Jan Rimerman
For THIS PLACE, Fairweather’s July exhibition, my botanical collection is bright and festive.
This new series is saucy and ready to brighten up the world.” Jan Rimerman, artist/ curator/ gallerist
Each piece begins with a powdered charcoal under painting with an ink drawing drawn over it. Transparent fluid acrylics are painted on top in many layers to create luminescence and dimension.” JR
When not in the studio or traveling, Jan Rimerman is the Visual Arts Coordinator of the Lakewood Center, the Art Director of the L.O. Reads Program, and the Director of Rock…Paper…Turtle…Art for Wetlands in partnership with The Wetlands Conservancy and the Director of the Rain Spark Gallery.
