It's time for us, Georgia and Laura, to transition to our new role as co-chairs of the upcoming State of Diversity exhibit. We want you to know how much we have enjoyed being the SAQA reps for Oregon. We have gained much from the SAQA conferences but even more from being in our home state and working with you. We started with little and have seen a wonderful network develop. It will only get better as more and more of us participate to further the goals of SAQA here.
In our meetings with your incoming reps, Betty Daggett and Jean Wells Keenan, we've learned that they have some great stuff coming for you, too, but it's their turn to start waving the SAQA banner here in Oregon. We want to thank you all for your encouragement and friendship, and let you know that we have enjoyed being your reps more than we ever thought possible. We join all of you in welcoming Betty and Jean. They'll be in touch with you soon.
Laura Jaszkowski
A BIG THANKS TO GEORGIA AND LAURA FOR GETTING US ORGANIZED AND SHARING THEIR PASSION FOR FIBER!

Trisha Hassler Exhibits at Visage Eyewear in Portland
Patience.
Intent.
Message.
Scrupulous detail.
Going forward, Trisha Hassler is committed to exploring each of these aspects in her work at a more purposeful level. This is the result of some personal experience and growth that is working it's way into her textile pieces. It's very exciting for her and she loves to talk about it, so please come out and ask her questions!
In August, Trisha will be showing a variety of wall pieces at Visage Eyewear in NW Portland. Visage is in the business of helping clients improve their vision, to see the world through a new set of "eyes", and one of the first things clients will be viewing is her artwork. Lately she is seeing the world differently too, so it's all about "vision" at the moment.
The detail above is from "Surrender To The Possibility Of A Complete Unraveling". It is from her newest Internal Landscape series. Her sense of pace has shifted to a new focus on hand-stitching, and she finds the time spent doing it to be quite wonderful!
If you are in Portland, please stop by the Visage Eyewear gallery during the month of August to see the work.
