Portland is brimming with talented artists and one of my favorites is Jill Bliss. Since moving to Portland, she has fallen in love with the beautiful houses and architecture and is paying tribute to them through her artwork. Jill is well known for her drawings of plant life and nature and I love seeing how her colorful textured style is adapted to architectural structures. You can shop her available prints, originals and more on her website and etsy shop (be sure to visit both as some different items are offered on each!). Check out her flickr to see lots of other amazing work she’s done – and don’t miss the photos of her Colors of Nature show at Together Gallery…tree houses!
