GO Gallery is honored to welcome master printmaker Liza Jones, a foundational figure in Oregon’s printmaking history. In 1981 she founded Inkling Studio, the Portland printmaking cooperative where more than 100 printmakers worked together over its 25-year run.

Working in drypoint, Jones scratches each line straight into the copper plate, which gives her prints their soft, velvety line. Her subjects range from ships and Oregon coast landscapes to a world of animals all her own: a crab boxing match, a yak in love with a zebu, an otter dreaming of needlefish. She brings the same wit and warmth to tributes to Degas, Cassatt and Morisot. Her work is held in the Portland Art Museum’s Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Graphic Arts Collection and appeared in the museum’s exhibition Inkling Studio: Community and Printmaking in Portland, 1981–2009.

These are original, hand-pulled etchings, many in limited editions, now available through GO Gallery.

The Celestial Series: Hand-Colored Copper Plate Etchings

GO Gallery is delighted to welcome Eugene, Oregon printmaker Tallmadge Doyle, a master of the copper plate etching. In her Celestial Series, Doyle maps the night sky in finely etched line, with constellations, star charts and orbits drawn into copper and printed by hand. Each print is then colored by hand, so no two impressions are exactly alike.

Doyle’s work has long traced the patterns of the natural world: migrations, tides and the slow changes of the land. The Celestial Series turns that same close attention upward, bringing together scientific wonder and quiet beauty.

These are original, hand-pulled prints in limited editions, now available through GO Gallery.

John Opie has spent more than six decades painting with color. He trained at Kent State University in the 1950s and began as an abstract painter. Over time recognizable forms entered his work, but they kept the loose, open space of his abstract roots. Best known for his vibrant paintings of jazz musicians, John has exhibited widely in Pennsylvania, including at the Allentown Art Museum and Philadelphia’s More Gallery.

In this collection, he turns his colorist’s eye to flowers. Saturated hues and confident, joyful brushwork make each bouquet glow, and critics have long noted that his tone stays bright even in his nighttime scenes.

Chris Harmon is a Portland artist, educator, and printmaker whose work explores non-objective abstraction through monotype, woodcut, and other printmaking processes. He works as an Art Handler for the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation and teaches block printing at Multnomah Arts Center. Harmon earned his B.A. in Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking from Portland State University and furthered his printmaking studies at Il Bisonte in Florence, Italy.

Two new beaded portraits by Zemula Fleming are now available at GO Gallery. Zemula’s intricate bead mosaics are highly sought after and rarely available.
