The Great Lakes Goods trunk show
Words to the wise: You won’t want to miss The Great Lakes Goods trunk show right here at Tilde on Saturday, October 29th, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, so mark your calendars for this special event!
Rose Lazar, the creator/designer behind The Great Lakes Goods stationery line, is traveling to Portland, OR from her home in Brooklyn, NY specifically for a few select west coast shows. We here at Tilde are thrilled that she’s chosen us as her Portland stop!
Rose founded The Great Lakes Goods line in 2007 as a way to continue doing what she loves: printmaking. Apparently, the magic all begins with an inspired phrase, and then things really get popping! Influenced by Fleetwood Mac, Charley Harper, Rob Ryan, Louise Bourgeois, 50 cent, The Shakers, campfires, Simon and Garfunkel, Tina Fey, massive amounts of candy, nature and nurture (equally), Ms. Josephine, sweet romance, and good ole fashioned nostalgia.
Rose takes these influences to create work that feels new and at the same time old and familiar. Everything is hand drawn and hand printed or constructed. And, each piece is created with the hopes that you feel like it was made just for you.
You’ll feel it at our end of month trunk show with posters, a special limited edition calendar, holiday ornaments, holiday boxed cards, and a few additional new creations. Join us!

Jill Bliss art reception Friday night!
We feel we are within a bird sanctuary! Jill Bliss has brought in all her artwork for her October show opening tomorrow night. Her bird collages are super spectacular and truly a mixed media delight. The show is a combination of painting and the re-use of paper from other work she has created blended together atop a colorful piece of wood that is edged with graphic washi tape to wrap it all up! Her handmade fabric leaf and feather garlands surround the bird art and really make our shop feel like a private hideaway.
Hope you can join us tomorrow night, October 7th, from 6-9pm to meet Jill and check out her newest original artwork. The show will be on our walls until October 31st and is available online too!

October feature artist preview: Jill Bliss
As we move into fall, the artwork of Jill Bliss will grace our walls for her mixed media show titled Arbors and Avians. Fanciful renditions of common Pacific Northwest birds colorfully explore and celebrate. The artist’s visual vocabulary is expanded, too, as she incorporates collage and paint in these works alongside her usual precise ink lines.
We hope you can join us for a reception to meet Jill on Friday, October 7th from 6:00-9:00pm. Her artwork will be on wall until October 31st.
A veritable Jill-of-all-trades, Jill Bliss and her artwork defy easy categorization. She is an imaginative illustrator and capable and conscientious designer who works with eco-friendly materials and local businesses. She draws, paints, creates murals, and executes custom art and design commissions. And, her signature style is recognizable in fine retail establishments across town.
Jill’s creative output finds its inspiration in the intricate details of the natural world that include artistic representation of plants, trees, animals, tide pools and forests, as well as in urban architectural forms. Her deceptively simple, nature-inspired style stems from growing up in a do-it-yourself household surrounded by nature in Northern California, refined further via art school stints on both coasts, New York and San Francisco. Jill now calls Portland home, and Portland is happy to have her!

September feature artist preview: Sayuri Sasaki Hemann
We are very excited for the upcoming art installation & show of Sayuri Sasaki Hemann. The show – Dreaming of Life Undersea – will take over our south window, many of our walls and certainly our spirits as we soon will realize we do not need a beach vacation after all . . . we can just stay in our shop and enjoy the view!
We hope you can join us for a reception to meet Sayuri on Friday, September 2nd from 6:00-9:00pm. Her artwork will be on wall until September 30th.
Dreaming of Life Undersea is a recurring theme for the artist, as she is “mesmerized by the unknown and ever-changing nature of sea life”, a life she often dreams about. For the Tilde show, Sayuri creates an experience of walking into life undersea when viewers enter the shop. This unique “underwater installation” will showcase pieces using hand- and machine-sewn organza and tulle to create a school of jellyfish and other sea creatures. Hanging on Tilde’s walls, viewers will find encaustic paintings on wood and plexiglass, paintings that are windows into the sea creatures’ lives. This installation will provide a colorful environment to spark discourse about the gap between the expected and unexpected.
Sayuri is a multi-disciplinary artist inspired by the way light reflects on the vivid colors found in nature, threads and fibers of her work, and the everchanging underwater life of sea creatures. Her use of medium ranges from painting with encaustics on plexiglass to hand-stitching soft fabric hanging sculptures to felting colorful creatures. In each medium, she enjoys the process of experimentation and reacting to the unexpected, and it is these interests that reflect her approach to life: enjoying the overall adventure and reacting to what comes and goes.
Sayuri Sasaki Hemann has been an artist ever since she remembers. Her childhood experience with her family’s relocation between and within Japan, Australia, and Romania forced her to function back and forth between languages—and also enabled her to find refuge in creating art. After attending college in Portland, Oregon, she continued to study art academically with a focus on drawing. Sayuri relocated again to Osaka, Japan where she joined a TV station art department, working on creating sets and props for three years. Realizing that creating disposable art for TV shows is not her passion, she relocated once again to Portland in March 2008. She now spends her time making art and working for a vintage textile design archive that houses 26,000 pieces of textiles and artwork collected from all over the world.

August feature artist preview: Lisa Kaser
We have long been looking forward to this upcoming First Friday reception for the Portland artist Lisa Kaser from 6pm to 9pm on Friday, August 5th.
Kaser is a favorite at Tilde, and in Portland, and this summer show will present her recent small-scale sculptural work in mixed media. “Flyers, thinkers, gazers, peekers, floaters, seekers, and those taking a moment to enjoy the moment” are the starring characters from her newest creations. Each creature is made from found and fabricated materials like oak gauls (balls) and carved wood, restitched and recycled cloth, handmade wool felt, and natural beeswax. Finer elements are used for features on these unique characters such as tiny shells and shell pieces for teeth. All are mounted atop traditional wooden sake cups.
Full-time artist Kaser was born and raised in Portland and continues to enjoy living and working in the Emerald City where the nearly ever-present rain awakens her creative channels. (Rarely is there a moment when her imagination isn’t firing on all cylinders!) She received formal training and a degree in off-loom textiles at University of Oregon in 1984, and continued to expand upon her interests in illustration, painting, and three-dimensional work that capitalize on the use of mixed materials. She is currently engaged in illustrating her second children’s book, The Mice’s Wedding, for the Spanish Publisher OQO Editora.
This sculpture show runs through Tuesday, August 30th. Come meet the artist and the main creatures of her latest fanciful collection!
