Who We Are

The Art Pack is a painting and critique group formed in 1995.  We have ten members, all dedicated artists.

Our weekly meetings generate new and exciting avenues of expression within the group.   There is a constant effort to enhance and invigorate our work by calling on new perspectives from our personal experiences and public events.

All the members of The Art Pack are Watercolor Society of Oregon members, but our painting is not limited to watercolor.  We frequently participate in workshops offered by nationally known artists/teachers to increase our technical expertise and to grow as artists.  We constantly endeavor to help each other tap into our own creativity. 

In addition to our weekly critiques, we have two three-day painting trips a year.  We also arrange road trips for gallery tours, Watercolor Society of Oregon Conventions, and daylong paint-outs at scenic locations.

We have exhibited our paintings individually and as a group in many public venues.
