Community
Artists Celebrated
The Beaverton Arts Commission
will showcase the work of two com-
munity artists as part of its effort to
celebrate community values and
help connect residents to their artis-
tic and cultural heritage.
Artworks by Stephen Kekule and
Joanne Kollman will be on display in
The Beaverton Building, 12725 S.W.
Millikan Way until the end of Feb-
ruary.
“I’m happy that we can con-
tinue to display the work of local
artists here at The Beaverton
Building,” said Mayor Denny
Doyle. “They brighten up the halls
with their creative and vibrant
artworks.”
Kekule’s work stems from his
background in architecture as well
as his experience working construc-
tion. Kekule’s paintings are divided
into two categories, places with fig-
ures or places without.
Kollman is a painter who uses the
environment around her to capture
figures, landscapes and still life. She
focuses on connecting communi-
ties beyond their local neighbor-
hoods.
The commission also has revolv-
ing art exhibits at Providence St.
Vincent Hospital, the Cedar Hills
Recreation Center, the Progress
Ridge New Seasons, and the Arti-
san Salon.
