Curves + Lines - A Papercraft Show
Friday the 3rd of February, 2012
Join us for a First Friday reception for three papercraft artists from 6:00pm to 9:00pm on Friday, February 3rd. The three individual artists choose paper as their medium of artistic expression for a variety of reasons—and, we know viewers will take delight in the unique, textured creations from all. This show ends March 31st.
Julie Everhart, founder of Studio Olivine, is a letterpress artist living in Portland, Oregon who enjoys keeping her hands inky. For her first collection of letterpress art prints, Julie focuses on the beauty of the ever-evolving process of life.
Katie Kulper is an Oregonian (born and raised), and Portland based artist/designer. She created multi-dimension paper sculptures for the current show with the notion that in seasons of sadness and brokenness, there is beauty to be found.
Residing in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Marnie Karger draws inspiration from the geography and history of the land around her as she reveres a sincere sense of place and home. Her unique artworks are created by carefully cutting and layering chromatically colored paper to represent depth maps of popular lakes, rivers, and coastlines.

One Thousand Hands Buddha Qi Gong.
It is with pleasure and gratitude that I offer this heart-centered Qi Gong form at Cypress Beauty & Wellness. This is a seated practice from The Ling Gui International Healing Qi Gong School. Using symbolic hand positions and a focused state of being, we draw inward to the heart. It is a soothing and calming practice. It is very useful to balance a wandering, and distracted state of being- a common experience in urban society.
Everyone can connect to this practice- it is adaptable, safe, and a great path towards self-knowledge and self-healthcare. Everyone inherently has experiences with the heart, in the class we cultivate clarity and acceptance.
Regular practice is an important part of learning the form. Former students are encouraged to drop in to a class during this ongoing series. New students should sign up for an entire series of four classes.
Four class series: $60. Returning students drop-in class: $5.
