The Fall Oil Media Showcase was juried by Cathleen Rehfeld. Cathleen Rehfeld is a former Art Director and Graphic Designer.

Online Viewing August 4 - October 5, 2023
The Oregon Society of Artists and PNWS Pacific Northwest Sculptors are pleased to present a juried show dedicated entirely to contemporary sculpture. The exhibit will feature a wide range of mediums, including but not limited to: wood, stone, ceramic, glass, metal, fiber, and electronics. Both free-standing and wall pieces are encouraged. We will see sculpture that best expresses the strength and spirit of creative vision, style, and commitment to quality.
The exhibit is juried by renowned Joan Gratz, an Academy Award winning director of animated short films and commercials. The technique she pioneered is “Clay Painting.” Working directly before the camera, she applies bits of clay, blends color and etches fine lines to create a seamless flow of images. In addition to "clay painting", she works with high-relief clay images filmed directly under the camera. These metamorphizing images have the appearance of sculpted wood and shifting sand.

GLS Remembers...From the ART ARCHIVES | Chapel furnishings for Providence Seaside MC | Seaside, Oregon | 2005
The Liturgical Season of Lent is upon us once again...
The Church's Centuries old liturgical calendar to the present, reminds us that it is a time of personal challenge, inner focus and personal sacrifice. We are created from dust, and we will return to dust. It is a period (40 Days) of time when we enter into forms of inner prayer and outward signs of sacrifice. Our time, talent, resource and change of heart...atonement.

GLS Supports the work of the Classical Iconography Institute
While presenting my Art in the Christian Church lecture series, now in its twelfth year of offering, I have been keenly aware of God's signs and symbols that have inspired and encouraged my own faith journey. For it is God's signs or the events that the artist expresses with artistic symbols. One area of art and devotion is the creation of icons. This Centuries old Byzantine art form of veneration, devotion, and prayer is through the creation of a liturgical art icon. The steps to creating a traditional icon is to pray or write an icon. One way to gain spiritual strength and help develop your artistic skills, and faith, is to attend the Classical Iconography Institute in downtown Portland, Oregon. To express your interest further, please consider the link on the above-named website. Gallery, retreats, and classes, travels tours are yours and much more.

The Gallery at OSA is excited to announce Portraits, Figures, and Selfies, an exhibition featuring the wide range of experimental forms, compositions, and subjects featured in contemporary figure painting.

In Portraits, Figures, and Selfies we see the artist's interpretation of the figure, human or otherwise! Whether drawn, painted, sculpted, or photographed, works delve into the psyche, reflect the self, or depict the body. Visit osagallery.org to view the show online.

Together we will learn and understand God's signs and symbols that still speak to us. Through an ecumenical series of five (5) richly visual presentations, we will trace the great periods of art and architecture, influencing our Christian worship spaces of today and that have given us purpose and meaning.
"Through God's signs and the Church's symbols, we've only to experience the glories of God that shape our faith. The legacy of an established liturgical calendar has guided the Church for future generations. For the artists and architects who've gone before us, to build and create places and spaces of the spirit, have shown us the way." ---Greg J. Lewis, Liturgical Artist & ACC Guest Presenter
Co-sponsored by the Greg Lewis Studios and the hosting organization, the Art in the Christian Church Lecture Series and or the Sacred Spaces for the Home is often open to the public. For program planning, scheduling, speaker honorariums and incurring expenses,

We require much from our community worship spaces. A place of focus, order and prayer, beauty, and security. A sense of holiness, a sense of the sacred, looking to God. This can be true in our living spaces as well. Large or small it can become a personal sign and symbol of our own spiritual identity. Greg's visual presentation explores the concepts and possibilities of establishing a sacred space in our homes. A place of order, beauty, focus and prayer. A sense of holiness, looking to God. A personal, private space of your own. From a simple sitting area, garden spot, dresser top, hallway wall, a converted closet, or an entire room. Join us for this 3-part look at a sacred space for the home. A personal focus on outward signs and symbols of our inner faith.

GLS remembers the Birthday of Artist/Sculptor, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, March 6, 1475
Creating a Sacred Space for
MICHELANGELO
1475-1564
Beautiful art books line up on my studio bookshelves. They look great standing vertical or lying flat, often ignored. Each spine aptly titled along with author's name and publisher's logo. Each one vies for my attention as my eyes scan the shelves. "Here I am, they say. Take me out for research, art inspiration and visual enjoyment...and leave me out awhile so you and others can enjoy." MICHELANGELO (see Sistine Chapel on YouTube.com) is one such art book that got my attention. So much so, that I created a small sacred space on a studio wall. For me personally, it became a visual sign and symbol of those artists whom God has called into the service of the Church. This particular edition is a beautifully designed and written opus that spans the life and times, both major and little-known works by this extraordinary artist and sculptor. The book explores Michelangelo's artistic heritage. His friends, contemporaries, his successes and failures throughout an incredible art and architecture career. It includes mention of his ever-present critics and his tumultuous patron and client relationships with the Church. This stunning edition is complete with select enlarged foldout details of his Sistine Chapel ceiling commission. Each page produces accurate color reproductions of his projects, often in extreme closeup. Even some of his personal letters are included in this uniquely written volume...worthy of a sacred space.

The French term En Plein Aire, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein aire artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is a evening event to learn of the lifestyle experience of "En Plein Aire".

When artists present their works for public exhibit, both the trained and untrained viewer sees and forms an opinion. Three forms of art criticism will be discussed, along with a presentation of known artworks to critique. We'll introduce the critique styles of the late Robert Hughes, controversial and opinionated art critic and historian and the late Sister Wendy Beckett, art historian for the BBC series: The Story of Painting. Together, we will explore beyond the elements of art and the principles of design to formulate our own critique vocabulary.

The process of repair, restoration and conservation of artworks to their original state is one of trained skill, patience, practice and a passion for detail. Over time, many artworks if cared for, will last indefinitely. However, the ravages of time, exposure to the elements of moisture, sunlight, temperature and of course mishandling, can exact its toll. The art mediums of paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and photography will be presented and discussed, as we reveal the secrets from repair to conservation.

GLS CURATES 2021 ANNUAL MONOTYPE SHOW | January 7 - 27, 2021
Monotype, in printmaking, is a technique that generally yields only one good impression from each prepared plate. Monotypes are prized because of their unique textural qualities. They are made by drawing on glass or a plate of smooth metal or stone with a greasy substance such as printer's ink or oil paint. This exhibit is a showcase of monotypes, most made in the Scott Gellatly and Aimee Erickson’s Monotype Lab held the first weekend in January.

This exhibit is a showcase of monotypes, most made in the Scott Gellatly and Aimee Erickson’s Monotype Lab held the first weekend in January.

GREG LEWIS STUDIOS AVOCATES CREATING A SACRED SPACE IN THE HOME
We require much from our community worship spaces. A place of focus, order and prayer, beauty, and safety. A sense of holiness, a sense of the sacred, looking to God. This can be true in our living spaces as well. Large or small it can become a personal sign and symbol of our own spiritual identity. Thus, a sacred space in the home. Please access my personal thoughts on establishing your own sacred space...

ART WITHOUT PASSPORTS: NORMAN ROCKWELL REVISITED – An American Art Master - VIA ZOOM
Thursday, December 17 | 6:30-8:30pm (PST)
Presented, in person, by Greg Lewis
Thursday, December 17 | 6:30-8:30pm (PST)
Presented, in person, by Greg Lewis
Best known as America's Illustrator, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) painted iconic scenes of small-town America. Producing a vast array of paintings for the Saturday Evening Post and later for Look magazine, Norman reflected 20th century American culture like no other artist. We are all benefited by his thought provoking and often humorous subject matter. Both young and old are left with a legacy of art we all can relate to.

GLS is celebrating its latest art project created within the Catholic Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon...
THE ST. FRANCIS/RISEN CHRIST MURAL
Our Lady of Peace Retreat Center - Beaverton, Oregon
THE ST. FRANCIS/RISEN CHRIST MURAL
Our Lady of Peace Retreat Center - Beaverton, Oregon
The St. Francis/Risen Christ outdoor mural project is the vision of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Peace Retreat. Located in Beaverton, Oregon. Its purpose is to serve as culmination of events portrayed in the traditional 14 Stations of the outdoor Way of the Cross. This mural becomes the 15th Station, the Resurrection of the Christ, now located in a peaceful garden space. It is the hope to have this major artwork for the retreat center, dedicated in a special prayer garden ceremony.

GLS Restores Phase 1 - Outdoor Stations of the Cross
Before and after bas relief restoration of the 1st Station of the Cross.
The outdoor Way of the Cross at Our Lady of Peace Retreat, features 14 Stations of the Passion of Christ. Evolving out of 4th and evolving through the18th Century, the scenes illustrate Christ's journey from His condemnation to His death and removal from the cross.
The existing stations are bronze or brass metal, bas relief sculptures. The outdoor exposure to the elements have taken its toll.
A lighten and brighten technique was used, along with a clear, lacquered coating to seal the metal from the air and water exposure.
The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem which is believed to be the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stations_of_the_Cross#Stations

The French term En Plein Aire, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein aire artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is a evening event to learn of the lifestyle experience of "En Plein Aire".

GLS Celebrates & Honors Historical Symbol of Freedom
Berlin Wall Artifact on Display ca. 1961-1989
Designed and fabricated for Concordia University's George R. White Library & Learning Center in Portland, Oregon. Complementing existing library furnishings, the archival display pedestal was envisioned by Mr. Don Mertes and the Greg Lewis Studios, and crafted by the collaborative team at HBB Studio in Portland, Oregon...."a remnant piece of the Berlin Wall...an international symbol of freedom".
"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
- US President, Ronald Regan, Berlin's Brandenburg Gate - June 12, 1987
The Miracle of Leipzig
In Autumn, 1989 - Peaceful demonstrations originating from the Lutheran Church of St. Nicholas (Nikolaikirche), led thousands of protesters to demand freedom, civil rights, and democracy from the East German State, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
To view the Berlin Wall Artifact and other historical memorabilia, visit the Concordia University's George R. White Library & Learning Center.

Admission is free - Parking Available
When artists present their works for public exhibit, both the trained and untrained viewer sees and forms an opinion. Three forms of art criticism will be discussed, along with a presentation of known artworks to critique. We'll introduce the critique styles of the late Robert Hughes, controversial and opinionated art critic and historian and the late Sister Wendy Beckett, art historian for the BBC series: The Story of Painting. Together, we will explore beyond the elements of art and the principles of design to formulate our own critique vocabulary.
GLS Provides Repair & Restoration for the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Beaverton, Oregon
Challenged by two carved marble projects, beginning with a new Marion sculpture damaged in shipping. Now, St. Mary and the child Jesus graces a new, memorial meditation garden, honoring children lost at birth. And the other, vandalized and in disrepair is St Joseph. installed and dedicated in 1966, suffered unprovoked vandalism. All is upright by volunteers and all is forgiven. Sometimes, I'm called upon to make older works of art new again. From sculpture to paintings...on time and on budget.

No. 28 - En Plein Aire: The Power of Painting Outdoors
All photo and videos images are copyright by their respective holders and are used for educational purposes only.
The French term En Plein Aire, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein aire artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is a evening event to learn of the lifestyle experience of "En Plein Aire".

Calligraphy: The Power of Word Art

From the earliest forms of illuminated manuscripts, to the use of modern type forms of today, word art holds its power. Join us for a morning of calligraphic expressions. OSA's Art Without Passport Series is in its third

No. 27 Colored Pencil on Exhibit: How'd they do that!
The art of drawing is one of the simplest forms of human communication. Millennial in its traditions and still a favorite among artists for its line, tonal qualities and textures. Now, since the advent of color pencil technology, the combination of colored pigments and wax and oil-based binders has opened up new medium breakthroughs from emerging students to advance professionals. Join us for an evening of Color Pencil on Exhibit.

The French term En Plein Aire, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein aire artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is a morning event to learn of the lifestyle experience of "En Plein Aire".

GLS Remembers Paris For Art Inspiration
In remembering the recent events at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, I'm reminded that we all live in a visual world,
if only we have eyes to see and our interest to notice. This is true with art and design of the built world.
The artists, architects, designers along with their craftsmen, have gone before us only to visually engage and inspire us.
The following images are from my camera and added linked video meditations from YouTube.com,
These are but a few memories of my art and design inspiration, formed during 2 field trips to Paris in the Springs of 2009 and 2013.
I remember them all. Enjoy!

"As artist, designer and now jurist, has allowed me the opportunity apply my years of professional experience in creating art and design for numerous private collections and commercial installations. And in addition, 23 years of teaching art at the college level. Whether the new artist is developing an emerging art talent or the artist with years of experience, is emerging into new creativity. I look into the subject matter for the originality of the work and focus its ability to engage and catch my eye with visual impact. Yes, the elements of art with its use of line, color, tone and texture and the principles of design with its composition and contrast do apply, but the level of maturity exercised in the artwork must prevail."

Saturday, April 6th -10:45 am-12:15 pm
When artists present their works for public exhibit, both the trained and untrained viewer sees and forms an opinion. Three forms of art criticism will be introduced, along with a presentation of known artworks to critique. We’ll present the critique styles of the late Sister Wendy Beckett, art historian for the BBC series: The Story of Painting. And the late Robert Hughes, controversial and opinionated art critic and historian for TIME magazine. Together, we will explore beyond the elements of art and the principles of design to formulate our own critique vocabulary.

The artistic works of these three women helped to change the course of Western art and left a lasting legacy of creativity. They inspired countless artists to create in new directions. American artist, Mary Cassatt found her artistic voice in a male-dominated art society at the turn of the 19th century, only to flourish in Europe and beyond. Georgia O'Keeffe used her artistic ability to see beauty in colors, forms and textures to illuminate both urban and desert landscapes, as well as inner objects of nature. And artist/sculptor, Louise Nevelson, who brought her glorious assembly sculptures onto the world stage. Mature in her art and design process, Louise Nevelson had always moved forward and never looked back.

All source images and videos are Copyright to their holder are used strictly for educational use only.
While enrolled in my university art courses over the years, an often heard a common refrain from my non-art major students (enrolled in required art courses) was, "Professor, I can't draw and I can't paint." But after 7 weeks of a fifteen week art course, I found that almost all were starting to "fly" with sparks of talent. Once the basic art skills were introduced and assignment ideas were developed, the students expressed an astonishing array of artworks. Drawing, painting, mixed media artworks will be presented. Join us for an evening with the art from the non-art major. See you there and do bring a friend.

No. 21 - Art Restoration: Repair Secrets Revealed
All source videos and images are Copyright to their holders and strictly used for educational purposes only.
The process of repair, restoration and conservation of artworks to their original state is one of trained skill, patience, practice and a passion for detail. Over time, many artworks if cared for, will last indefinitely. However, the ravages of time, exposure to the elements of moisture, sunlight, temperature and of course mishandling, can exact its toll. The art mediums of paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and photography will be presented and discussed, as we reveal the secrets from repair to conservation. Join us as we look at a different side of the art world.
Art Without Passports Series is in its third season. See you there!

JUNE: Women in Art - Mary Cassatt, Georgia O'Keeffe, Louise Nevelson
The artistic works of these three women helped to change the course of Western art and left a lasting legacy of creativity. They inspired countless artists to create in new directions.
American artist, Mary Cassatt found her artistic voice in a male-dominated art society at the turn of the 19th century, only to flourish in Europe and beyond. Georgia O'Keeffe used her artistic ability to see beauty in colors, forms and textures to illuminate both urban and desert landscapes, as well as inner objects of nature. And artist/sculptor, Louise Nevelson, who brought her glorious assembly sculptures onto the world stage. Mature in her art and design process, Louise Nevelson had always moved forward and never looked back.

AUGUST: En Plein Air: The Power of Painting Outdoors
The French term En Plein Air, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein air artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is an evening event to learn of the lifestyle experience of En Plein Art.

SEPTEMBER: The Art Critique: Beyond the Elements of Art
When artists present their works for public exhibit, both the trained and untrained viewer sees and forms an opinion. Three forms of art criticism will be discussed, along with a presentation of known artworks to critique. We'll introduce the critique styles of the late Robert Hughes, controversial and opinionated art critic and historian and the late Sister Wendy Beckett, art historian for the BBC series: The Story of Painting. Together, we will explore beyond the elements of art and the principles of design to formulate our own critique vocabulary.

Ernst Schwidder, Liturgical Artist & Sculptor & Pietro Belluschi, Design Architect, AIA
Main Entrance Copper Doors ca.1984
As Liturgical Artist and Design Director working with churches and hospitals for over two decades, I am often called upon to make old things new again. Recently I was honored to have the opportunity to restore the hammered copper doors at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Beaverton, Oregon. These doors are the creation of late Liturgical Artist and Sculptor Ernst Schwidder (1931-1998) and the building’s world-renowned Architect, the late Pietro Belluschi (1899-1994).
Judeo-Christian art is rich in signs and symbols that enhance our worship experience. Schwidder’s sculptures grace the worship space and the outer courtyard at St. Matthew’s with both power and tenderness. And so it is with the embossed copper doors at the church’s entrance. They announce the coming of Christ and invite us to come in and worship Him. However, over 30-plus years these doors had darkened to a dreary dark brown, nearly obscuring the joyful messages and graphics. My challenge was to restore these doors to their former brilliance.
As I worked on the doors, it was a personal blessing to see the graphics and the Bible quotes emerge under my hands, from muted to bright, from dark quiet to celebrational! The Schwidder Door Restoration Project is now complete. It is my prayer that St. Matthew’s legacy of art will touch both present and future generations as it invites them to come worship our Lord, the bright morning star!

Artist restores cross and image of Jesus at North Portland church
Ed Langlois, Of the Catholic Sentinel
Thursday, August 16, 2018 8:31 AM
The Portland church named after the cross just had its 68-year-old crucifix restored. “There were some blemishes showing up,” said Father Mark Bachmeier, pastor of Holy Cross Parish in North Portland. He points at the church’s simple but elegant wooden crucifix, a little smaller than life size. It hangs in the sanctuary.
“The wood just seemed kind of compromised,” the priest said. “We were afraid there was some fungus moving in.” It was time to call an expert. In came Greg Lewis, an artist who designs liturgical art and does restoration on the side. Lewis discovered that the markings were not rot, but aging paint that had been used to cover up knots in the wood.
On the figure’s toes, calves and chest, artists in the days of yore had used beige paint to hide the dark blemishes. Over time, the paint lightened, leaving spots that did not match the rest of the wood. Lewis solved the problem by using a water-based solvent to remove all the old paint and varnish down to bare wood. He re-stained the crucifix in a slightly darker hue and applied a clear coat. From a distance, no one can see the knots.
The crucifix was purchased under the leadership of the late Father Thomas Jackson, who was pastor of Holy Cross when the church was built. Father Bachmeier says it is believed that Father Jackson donated his ample poker winnings to help finish construction of the church. Lewis removed the wooden nails from Christ’s hands and feet during the work and found that they were lovingly hand carved, a clue that the crucifix was made by Italian craftsmen who did such labor.
“Our generation is making old things new again,” said Lewis.

No. 17 - The Art Critique: Beyond the Elements of Art
All source images in this presentation are Copyright to their holders and used for educational purposes only.
When artists present their works for public exhibit, both the trained and untrained viewer sees and forms an opinion. Three forms of art criticism will be discussed, along with a presentation of known artworks to critique. We'll introduce the critique styles of the late Robert Hughes, controversial and opinionated art critic and historian and Sister Wendy Beckett, art historian for the BBC series: The Story of Painting. Together, we will explore beyond the elements of art and the principles of design to formulate our own critique vocabulary.

All source images in this presentation are Copyright to their holders and used for educational purposes only.
The French term En Plein Air, or "in the open air" refers to drawings, paintings, watercolors that are completed on locations, outdoors. This presentation explores the experience of what the eye sees and the heart and hand expresses. The act of painting outdoors has long allured artists for centuries to heighten the visual senses, producing either a quick study painting, or a finished work of art. Among the notable plein air artists are Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Pierre- Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. This is an evening event to learn of the lifestyle experience of En Plein Art. Bring a friend! Art Without Passports Series is in its second season. See you there!

All photos and video images in this presentation are Copyright to their holders and used for educational purposes only.
The artistic works of these three women helped to change the course of Western art and left a lasting legacy of creativity. They inspired countless artists to create in new directions.
American artist, Mary Cassatt found her artistic voice in a male-dominated art society at the turn of the 19th century, only to flourish in Europe and beyond. Georgia O'Keeffe used her artistic ability to see beauty in colors, forms and textures to illuminate both urban and desert landscapes, as well as inner objects of nature. And artist/sculptor, Louise Nevelson, who brought her glorious assembly sculptures onto the world stage. Mature in her art and design process, Louise Nevelson had always moved forward and never looked back.

GLS Assists to Save Historic Church Art Mural
For over 75 years the mural adorned the St. Paul’s Evangelical and Reformed Church on NE 8th and Failing in Portland, which was founded in 1904 by Volga German immigrants from Russia. The mural remained as a centerpiece of the sanctuary when it was sold to the Gethsemane Church of God in Christ in 1973. In 2015, the property was sold and the mural was generously donated to the Center for Volga German Studies by the developer. The church building laid dormant for quite some time, with the art mural glued to the sanctuary wall and in sad shape. With tender loving care, the precious work of art was carefully removed and stored for over two years. Private funding allowed the mural to be restored, preserved and showcased in the Concordia University Library. Thanks to everyone who contributed toward the restoration of this wonderful piece of Portland’s Volga German history!

GLS Remembers A Small Space For Peace

Providence Cancer Center, Portland, Oregon

Providence Cancer Center, Portland, Oregon
Small Space For Peace May Set Hospital Trend
By Ed Langlois - Catholic Sentinel 9/18/2008
It’s a small room with a big meaning. On the eighth floor of the new Providence Cancer Center in Portland, the 8-by-9-foot space is set amid hustle and technology. The Peace Room, as it is called, embodies the notion that silence and quiet are also a part of healing.
“It’s a refuge in the midst of all the chaos,” says Marti Leven, a Providence chaplain and a member of St. Ignatius Parish. She helped spark the idea for sacred space in Providence’s new $204 million, 11-story tower devoted to treating cancer from all angles.
Anyone can step into the room for a quiet moment amid comfortable chairs, serene colors and art that relates the profound lessons of nature. It’s meant for patients, families and staff. Nurses and housekeepers were the ones who asked for the space and they discussed and voted on themes and artwork. “We use it all the time,” says Teri Mulkey, a registered nurse who works on the eighth floor, which serves stroke victims and those recovering from spine surgery and other neurological procedures. “It’s a nice place to go to reflect,” Mulkey says. “While we’re out here working, we can take a couple of minutes to refocus.” The Peace Room was funded mostly by the Employee Giving Campaign, with additional contributions from employee families and friends.
Etched into the window of the door are the words of Jesus, “Peace I leave with you.” A small sign near the door says, “When we trust the power of God, His peace keeps us from panic.” “It helps people, especially in the midst of busy and demanding and stressful work, to diffuse some of that anxiety,” says Leven, who is chaplain to staff as well as patients. “The idea is to get in touch through prayer or meditation or whatever works for them. To be good caregivers, we need to be able to care for ourselves as well.”
Providence has long aimed to link spirituality and healing, based on studies showing benefits. Leven says the Peace Room may be a ground-breaker that leads to more small, reflective spaces around the hospital. In the main building, there is a large chapel on the ground floor and a meditation space on the fifth floor. Several outdoor spaces are meant for prayer and quiet. In the new Peace Room, a large painting shows a wintry tree, silver and leafless, set on a colorful horizon full of promise. It is the tree of life, cycling its way through the seasons. The other wall holds four small colorful paintings, each with a simple image depicting a season. Before he set to work, Portland artist Greg Lewis met with the planning team to capture its vision.
“The tree was an image of beauty, strength and stability,” Lewis says. “A vision of integrating light, it was a sign of energy and continual hope.” Lewis says that, to him, the Peace Room is sacred, “a place to rest, pray, or just be, a place of order and beauty.”

The heritage and legacy of an established liturgical calendar has guided the Church's life and passing it to future generations. For the artists and architects who've gone before us, to build and create spaces of the spirit, have shown us the way." -- Greg J. Lewis, Liturgical Artist & ACC Guest Presenter

All are welcome to attend with free admission, as well as free parking. The Art Without Passports Series presents one of the most famous artists of the 20th Century. Georgia O'Keeffe took on the male dominated art world of the 1920s and never looked back. Her thought provoking subjects, methods and use of colors has brought us into abstract views of nature, rural and urban landscapes. Georgia's body of work has both inspired and influenced generations of artists and non-artists alike. Hope to see you there!
GLS Celebrates the Luther Bronze Project
In response to the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Greg remembers his bronze commission in 2012 by Dr Dwaine Brandt, Professor Emeritus of History, Concordia University-Portland. The process of creating a bronze symbol of one the most influential individuals whom helped to change the course of Western Civilization, was both a joy and a challenge. From original concepts, modeling, casting, finishing and final installation. Greg credits the many skilled talents that have helped to bring this important educational symbol into reality.
The Luther Bronze resides along with custom display cabinets for an edition of the first English Dictionary and a remnant of the Berlin Wall now on permanent display in the library of Concordia University-Portland, Oregon.
All projects are by the Greg Lewis Studios.
"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all;
but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."
Martin Luther - 1483-1546

No. 3 - What Makes Art Valuable? - A BBC Documentary
To create art is nothing more than taking an object/subject idea, and turn it into something simple or complex. Along with basic tools, surface materials, art mediums and techniques, the artist expresses that creation. A work of art can have the ability to enrich our lives with purpose and meaning. The historical provenance of the artist and the rarity behind the art are driving forces to its value. Join us for this inside look at high-end auctioned art and why and how this art can be so valuable.

GLS Remembers J. David Richen
Liturgical Architect 1940-2016
News has reached me of the passing of beloved friend and gifted architect, J. David Richen. David and I met in 1982 when I joined the Liturgical Arts Resource Center, LARC at Marylhurst University. We were of like minds when we shared our faith and our liturgical art gifts and abilities. I was a practicing liturgical graphic designer and David was well involved in the development of church architecture. We shared studio space at a time and he would refer me to numerous art commissions from art murals, sculpture, stained glass to art restoration projects. We often went out to view his work in progress, as well as churches completed. David had his inflences and personal friendship with the late architect, Pietro Belluschi, AIA. David was a great listener who personally, always working closely with his clients and hand picking his contractors, and using the best building materials. He loved good liturgical artists in his planning, as well as using their skilled artworks to complete the interiors of his churches, enhancing the worship experience to a wide range of communities. Please access the Sanctuary For Sacred Arts website page for more information on the life and times our dear friend and professional colleague, J. David Richen, RIP.

GLS Revisits Paris For Art Inspiration
We all live in a visual world, if only we have eyes to see and our interest to engage. This is true with art and design of the built world.
The artists, architects, designers along with their craftsmen, have gone before us only to visually engage and inspire us.

These are but a few memories of my art and design inspiration, formed during a field trip to Paris in the Spring of 2013. Enjoy!
