Included free with membership or admission; no registration is required.
“Art springs from the very depth of our being, allowing us to express things that cannot be spoken, even if we had the words."
Jinx Griswold is an artist who lives and works in Hood River, Oregon. Her art has been shown at the Columbia Center for the Arts and The Dalles Art Center, and hangs in private collections throughout the Western U.S. Jinx teaches art, including custom journal making, painting, and is a certified Zentangle art teacher. Jinx teaches out of her Late Bloomer studio in Hood River, Oregon, and at various other galleries and venues.
Jinx loves encaustic art, abstract art, mixed media, recycled art, and the creation of custom journals for clients. Found objects, curiosities, recycled items (and some rusted wire), can be found embedded into much of her art. Jinx can be found in her Late Bloomer studio, in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, doing and teaching art — with the assistance and encouragement of Max the Golden (the official greeter), Scrappy the Cat (doesn't do much to help), and Jim the Husband (doorman, frame maker, and assistant to the official greeter). Jinx is the creator and founder of the "I'm not embarrassed to wear OVERALLS!" fad. Double dog dare you to wear overalls, too.
From classical Chinese styles to contemporary work, Lan Su hosts several artists each year, from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, to show work in the pavilions of the garden.
