Show statement: The Tuesday Night Art Seminar is a meeting of artists, painters, and students who share the intention to learn about and practice painting. The art we created during the last year felt significant, both individually and as a group, so I wanted to produce this exhibit as a shared record of where we each were artistically during the year 2020.I want to extend a huge thank you to Radius Community Art Studio for providing a common place where many of our group originally met. I also want to say thank you to each artist who created art, wrote statements, and participated in creating this show. As an artist and teacher, I have been deeply grateful to share time and the practice of art making with this group. So often art is more than just placing your brush on surface, though on some days that is the best we can each do. It has been a wonderful experience to watch as each person in this group continued to realize themselves and bring more to their practice. Lastly, I’d like to thank you as the viewer, because in showing this work to you, we come full circle in the process of contemplating, creating, and sharing. Jolyn Fry

Help Me: a portrayal of mental illness" is a collection of intimate artwork, installations and interactive experiences from several local and international artists who live with mental illness in varying capacities. We are representing artists who live with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar 1 & 2, Major Depression Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorder, Dysthymia, Psychosis and all the gaps and overlap in between them all.
The show will consist of affecting visual, auditory, tactile, and other sensory pieces in an attempt to connect with their audiences in a way that would provide insight into their illness and how they view the world. The goal of this show is to create a broader understanding of mental illness and mental health as a spectrum, and how it affects everyone.
Songs for my child. Songs for myself. /
Exhibit opens: September 29th 6-9pm closes: October 24th
A series of large scale paintings created in relation to healing from post trauma dissociation.
"On the day I was raped I was not alone. I became one with my sisters, my ancestors. I became nothing and whole at the same time. I became hate. In losing myself I became something I never was before. I was a child human. Human. Small and insignificant. And it wasn't until today that I knew as I paint these paintings these pieces of myself, of women, these stories they become me and they become above and below and around me. It was yesterday that I was so small... so insignificant. As I am today, but I am all of these things at once small and big. Pain and joy. And I live. I will live. Everything up until this moment has been past. An unfathomable past and I live as life is meant to be for today for a moment with utter knowingness, and a trust that I have never understood before and today becomes a day just like any other day in any other lifetime and that is what makes me rise and fall..."

Landscape’s by Jolyn Fry
Opening: Saturday, May 19th 6-9pm 4703 N. Albina Ave Portland, OR 97217
“I use the landscape as a metaphor to explore my feelings through painting. My color palette and gestures are in reference to what I view, but also more importantly take on a feeling of their own in relation to what I am experiencing internally. On my better days I transcend my thoughts and just have an experience of movement in relation to my viewpoint. In life the sky always meets the tree line or the roof or the land. Even a pile of debris generally has a skyline, a base...a foundation. There is nothing to turn away from in life, but when I see something in a landscape I am often moved to return again. Not to mimic every line and every sound. But to lay out the experience. The presence and then later the movements of that moment. ”
