This week I have been enjoying a variety of arts...culinary gastronomy, cinematic story telling, and fiber textile creations. It is interesting that when you venture out and let yourself experience things that are not part of your repertoire, your world gets broader. I think it might be the idea of engaging all of your senses...is this kind of woo woo...or do you think I am on to something?

I especially love it when I stumble upon a fiber art form that I have never seen! The one thing about the Portland Airport is that it is reflective of the city of Portland, which is an art saturated community. They regularly have a rotating art exhibit in various locations at the airport and I highly recommend that if you ever take a flight in or out of Portland that you allow yourself extra time so that you can not only enjoy the shopping...but, the music and art exhibits!

I was rushing to my gate when I was stopped in my tracks by the art work of Greta Latchford. A combination of fiber, stained glass, and beading on a base of wood, which allows for the creation of a multidimensional mixed media art that tells a powerful story.



I don't know about you, but there is something hopeful in my heart when I see art on display in public places...it helps me focus on what is wonderful in our world. You can check out Greta Latchford on her website, https://glatchford.com/ Here are just a few of the pieces on display at the Portland Airport. Have a wonderful week...I hope Greta's artwork inspires you in some way.
