The Pittock Mansion was built in 1909 by Henry Pittock, publisher of The Oregonian newspaper. Open to the public since 1965, it is a beautifully restored French Renaissance Chateau and at Christmas, it is decorated in full-blown Victorian style.

My paintings are hanging in the show "The Natural Beauty and Bounty of Oregon" until January 2, 2011.

Come see my work at the Pittock Mansion

Every year at Christmas, volunteers deck the halls of the Pittock Mansion with holiday finery. This year, you can also see artwork done by seven specially invited artists hanging in the Social Room show "A Northwest Christmas: The Natural Beauty and Bounty of Oregon."

Participating artists: Celeste Bergin, Michael Fisher, Pam Flanders, Carrie Holst, Brooks Hickerson, Jim King, and Katherine van Schoonhoven.

I hope that you will come and see the mansion lit with thousands of lights and filled with historic Christmas decorations. There is a charge to tour the mansion, you can read more about hours and details here.
