Lisa Kaser Artist Reception tonight!
We hope you can join us tonight (Fri, August 5th) from 6-9pm, as we host an artist reception for Lisa Kaser. We spent yesterday afternoon hanging up shelves that are now showcasing all of Lisa’s sculptures! All are made of objects found, made and re-purposed. We love them all.
We’ll have have wine and nibbles on hand so hope you can stop by! If not, Lisa’s show will be on walls throughout August and many of her pieces are available on our online site as well.
A goodbye wish as the little creatures leave Lisa’s studio to live on Tilde’s walls.
Love the guy in the crown!

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!

September First Friday Artist: Lisa Kaser
We always get a bit giddy with delight as we assist the featured First Friday artist in hanging a new show on the walls of Tilde. It’s the first time we get to see the range of work the artist is bringing into our shop for the month.
This month, Lisa Kaser will be showing a selection of her mixed media originals, plus we’ll have a big variety of her giclée prints, cards, and original sketches available for you to purchase so you can hang her art on your walls, too.
Lisa received her BFA in Fibers from the University of Oregon under the tutelage of Barbara Setsu-Pickett. For the past 25 years she has exhibited her work in national and international venues. In 2008 Lisa was the only American fiction illustrator selected to participate in the Illustrator’s Exhibit in Bologna, Italy and subsequently received her first children’s book project, The Three Little Pigs, which was published this year in Seoul, Korea. In 2009 she was invited to submit work for the 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide, by the Austrian publication, Lürzer’s Archive.
Tilde is thrilled to showcase Lisa’s work this month. Please join us for Lisa Kaser’s artist reception on Friday, September 3rd from 6-9pm in the store. See you then!

The next visual art show to grace Tilde’s walls will be the mixed media creations of Lisa Kaser. Lisa’s preferred mediums are watercolor, graphite, and ink which she combines with collaged characters taken directly from her sketch books. For this show the artist has put together a selection of framed originals and some of her matted and framed reproductions that she prints in her home studio. Here’s a little taster of her work, we’ll post more images soon!
