Julie Ann Smith’s ‘Coffee Menu’ oil painting.
Now Showing at Guardino
Walnut ink paintings, salvaged wood crafted
into art, and still life paintings exploring con-
temporary icons and formal elements are some
of the featured works this month at Guardino
Gallery, 2939 N.E. Alberta St.
In the main gallery, Dave Benz presents a
body of small walnut ink paintings on paper
that are inspired by photos from the early 20th
Century; and Julie Ann Smith’s oil paintings
explore contemporary icons and formal ele-
ments by depicting the iconic “paper espresso
coffee cups” as the subject of her new still life
paintings.
In the gallery’s feature area, Stephanie Brock-
way presents her show “Portlandia,” a celebra-
tion of primitive folk art with a Portland twist.
