Boundary Love from Portland

Hey all,

Sami here, just graduated along with many amazing artists. I have recently relocated to Portland, OR from Savannah, GA / San Francisco, CA. Right now I am putting together my studio, pulling out the paints and hitting the easel pretty hard. I do admit it is harder than it sounds to do it without the community supporting you, that is what the Boundary Movement is for. Comment with your observations, suggestions, experiences and critiques! Kristen and I (and I am sure many other young emerging artists) need a sense of the art community, even if it is online!

Here is how the studio is coming:

Working on a series of oil paintings based on aerial landscapes, I'll be sharing those soon!
Show us your studio!

Best,
Sami

BE The Movement!

The Boundary Movement is finally happening! For those of you who aren't sure what this is all about, the conversation for this movement began in Boundary Hall's wood shop towards the end of this past Spring. We knew that with many of us graduating and Boundary Hall's closing there would be a sizable void in leaving the magic of the sculpture building. The energy flow and vision in Boundary was unlike anything I had experienced in any other department or campus and the people that made it home are the best I will ever meet. We needed a source and a forum outside of school to share our ideas, process, and successes. The Boundary Movement will hopefully grow beyond just a blog to reach and influence communities around the world. Keep the dream alive!! The artists of Boundary Hall are dreamers and visionaries. We are doers. We are collaborators, teachers, and students with the most powerful, raw passion for what we do. We say yes. We don't put work before play because our work is our play. We are committed to putting our thoughts into action to change the world. In combining individual stories, talents, and mediums with positivity and spiritual awareness we will spread and BE The Boundary Movement.

Please put your information in the comments for an "Artists" page:
Name, website, email, skype name, a short artist statement, and a photo.

Also, invite anyone who you think would enjoy and embrace this!!! I love and miss you all!

I will be updating some more stuff over the next couple of days, like artist websites, calls for entry, and more posts. Stay tuned!
