“This piece reminds me to build a life that never prevents me from being with the ones I love. ”
Myah Bailey
Born and raised in Connecticut, I received a BFA from Eastern Michigan University in 2003 where I studied fine art photography and telecommunications. Though academically trained in photography, much of my current body of work employs drawing. Since moving to the Northwest, I’ve fully immersed myself into the art scene, including opening the Benjamin Benjamin Art Gallery in Portland, OR. The beauty of the gorge and it’s mercurial weather inspired her current series “Ecotone”, “Tilt Shift”.
The work for the Jimmy Pickering solo show has now arrived. We are not allowing preview, and the work will not be available for purchase until 5:00PM on October 6th. A couple of important notes:
-The storefront on Lovejoy will not be open for foot traffic between now and the show opening on first Thursday next week. HOWEVER, THE GALLERY ONLINE STORE REMAINS ACTIVE! www.benjaminbenjamin.bigcartel.com
-The work from the Video Game show is on display at Modern Love Cafe, 1720 NW Lovejoy (same building as the art gallery). But, a lot of it has sold, so hurry in if you want a chance to see the work before it sells out completely. Of course, what is left is also available on the website (www.benjaminbenjamin.bigcartel.com).
-The Susan Lucci show will be on display at the Starbucks on Boones Ferry in Lake Oswego (17449 Boones Ferry Road, Lake Oswego OR). And, of course this work is available on the website also (www.benjaminbenjamin.bigcartel.com).
Thank you for your support!

The Never Ending Story
Art Inspired by Susan Lucci
Opening Reception - Thursday, September 15th, 5-8pm
September 15th, 2011 through October 1st, 2011
Benjamin Benjamin Art Gallery
1720 NW Lovejoy
Portland, OR 97209
The Never Ending Story:
January 5th, 1970 was the beginning of an era. Unmatched in television history, for more than 41 years, “All My Children” was the gold standard for the entire industry of Soap Operas. More than 40 years later, Susan Lucci is the most definitive personality of the entire Soap Opera / Telenovela genre.
Five artists were collected, each with their own way to capture and celebrate the ageless television goddess. The opening of the show will be celebrated September 15th, with refreshments and a number of the artists on hand. The show is sponsored by Radish Underground, a charming boutique and gallery tucked just below Burnside in Downtown Portland’s West End.
Johnny Acurso: The Oregon native is noted for being adept at capturing images in a way that are both nostalgic and extremely modern. Anyone familiar with Johnny’s work from the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles or his work with Time-Out New York, McGraw Hill, The Portland Mercury or MTV will agree that he is the perfect artist to bring Susan Lucci to life in a painting.
Roxanne Patruznick: Has always had a passion for capturing the human figuare with oil paints. Her style uses technical painting skills to capture a story within the image. This often leads gives her subjects a film noir, femme fatale mystique.
Amanda Lynn: Coming from a traditional fine art background, Amandalynn takes her expertise in art and painting into an array of applications. She studied at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art with an Illustration major. She has an inexhaustible imagination and energy for the development and production of any and all types of art. She recently has begun further expanding her skills into the fashion design industry and merchandising display.
Jackie Avery: Jackie’s style is equal parts nostalgia and narrative. Born into a family of artists, Jackie was a master of the technical aspects of painting at a very young age, and was able to spend the majority of her life cultivating her one of a kind style. Each viewer sees a full story in each piece, and for each viewer the story is different. Her work’s beauty and uniqueness is dictated not only by her internal inspiration, but also by the viewers own imagination.
Myah Bailey: Known best for her digital illustrations and tilt-shift photography, Myah is an artist who enjoys exploring new and unorthodox processes. Myah was raised in Hartford Connecticut, received a BFA from Eastern Michigan University and currently resides in Portland. Her work has been featured on the websites of Share Some Candy, Juxtapoz and Atelier.
Andrew Constantine’s life has continuously revolved around creating visual art. Fifteen years of academics ultimately yielded him a bachelor’s degree in Arts and Letters from Portland State University — three universities, eight majors and 12 years after first setting foot on a college campus. Primarily featuring boldly colored human subjects, often combined with macabre and/or religious imagery, Andrew’s images are an eclectic mix of painting, photography and printmaking that reside in a realm somewhere between early Byzantine idols and modern graphic novel illustration.
Opening night reception Thursday July 15th, 5:00-8:00PM. The show will run until October 1st. For more information visit www.benjaminbenjamin.com ###
