Urubbu handcarved birds
We have long loved the folk-like artwork created by Geraldo of Urubbu. In addition to Urubbu’s sweet and colorful images (sold as cards and prints in our shop) the gentlemen of Urubbu have been sourcing some of the most beautiful hand-carved and painted birds directly from the artisan in South America.
Antonio lives in a small village in Brazil, where he supports his family through his craft. Each one of these birds are hand-carved and painted from discarded and reclaimed wood. They are all unique. We want them all – these little guys are more than a pop of color for your rooms – these birdies will become your friends and companions. We are already imaging them above our mantle and on our dresser……

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!
★ Please join us for Jill Bliss’s Artist Reception on Friday, October 7th from 6-9pm.
